POWELL CHEWS THE RAG WITH PALLETTE Again the Screen Shows Philo Vance Solving a Murder Mystery Right Before Our Very Eyes. BV WALTER D. HICKMAN PHTLO VANCE is not a twin brother of Sherlock Holmes, but they both always get their man. Again we have Philo, nicely dressed, as if he was going to a swell narty. working on murder clews. To my way of thinking, it might be Just as well for the directors ‘o let Philo take a vacation, because he doesn't seem to have the big jiunch that he once had. That was my icifa after .veincr William Powell as Philo Vance and Eugene Pallette as Sergeant Heath of the detective force in "The Benson Murder Case." About the only novelty in this murder mystery is that Vance and the district attorney are both in the Benson home when Benson is murdered.

And of course. Vance, after much funny argument and quarrel-

ing with Pallette, pins the crime on a man who was in the room with Vance and th> district attorney when Benson was shot. We do no' see Philo get into tight places in thf hands of the villains like we see Sherlock Holmes walk right out of the clutches of the villains. Powell makes Philo a well

dressed detective with a mind that makes certain deductions and then forces the guilty jierson to sav yes. Then a bang of a revolver in the hand of Sergeant Heath and the guilty one hits the dust or may be it was the carpet. Not so exciting but fiction has again allowed Philo Vance to bang another murderer. I am beginning to believe that gome of Van Dine s very good detective novels read much better than they film.

by the name of “Cameo Kirby,” the story of a gentleman gambler who forced crooked gamblers to be straight or pay the bills. Producers thinking that “Show Boat" with its gambling and romantic background would be a box

office success, so ihey decided to do “Cameo Kirby” as a talker. Some of this sound sounded more like noise to me than musical ound. The recording is poor most of the time. J. Harold Murray, the singer, is cast as Cameo, the straight gambler. He has a number of songs, but none have the hit ring about them. And his singing is

just ordinary. Norma Terris is the southern girl, a daughter of a rich southern gentleman who kills him- | self when he loses everything at i cards with Cameo. Os course, there is a duel and Cameo kills a bad, | crooked gambler and then he is free, as soon as the bloodhounds are J called off. to take Norma in his arms. Happy ending for no reason whatsoever. "Cameo Kirby” follows the oldfashioned pattern, and about every one knows just what is going to happen. Even Murray’s singing can ! not keep “Cameo Kirby” from being quite a bore at times. Os course, be your own judge. T ; have my own idea—a poor picture.

dreamer. And now, the moving picture screen, permitting human talk and natural sounds, it was thought a good idea to film “The Mys t e rious Island.” This picture is done in color. From a mechanical standpoint, it will hold interest for those who are mechanically minded. But to me the romance of going

want to say if for no other reason, you’re going to like this musical comedy, because of the one song, “Sing You Sinners." Not since the s u c c essful Hallelujah,” from "Hit the Deck,” have I heard a melody so full of rhythm and so adapted to chorus singing that it sweeps you off your feet. I completely forgot that

I

Stanley Smith

I was In the theater, during this song interlude. And when the last strains of it died away, I wanted to applaud for more, even though it is repeated several times by the Negro chorus, and members of thee cast. But there are other reasons why you will like this picture, “Honey.” The cast is excellent, when it comes to fun and comedy. Zasu Pitts, who is continually shedding tears for no reason at all, falls for Harry Green, a private detective, whose chief hobby is putting away the fire water, although you never actually see him in the act, Skeets Gallagher, cast as Nancy’s brother, is good for many laughs, and he also falls in love with Lillian Roth. The real love interest however Is centered around Nancy Carroll and Stanley Smith. Oh, this is a lovely show. Everyone falls i.i love. You see. Nancy leases her father's southern ,iome. to a very rich woman. The servants do not appear, and so Nancy becomes the cook, and Skeet, the butler. When the rich lady arrives with her daughter Lillian, and Stanley, whom Lillian is going to marry, things begin to happen. Lillian falls in love with the butler, and Stanley with the cook. ScandeL And the little girl in the cast, keeps everyone well informed, as to what is going on around the house, especially in the kitchen. Although her prices are high, for the information she gives out, she gets her money. “Honey.” which is taken from an old comedy success “Come Out of the Kitchen.” is a pleasant dose of entertainment. Nancy Carroll, and Lillian Roth both sing, as does Stanley Smith, singing honors going to Miss Roth for the way she rendered a chorus of the song “Sing You Sinners.” See this picture and forget your troubles. On the stage the U. S. Indian Reservation Band play some red hot rythym. The presentation is nice entertainment and a little different from the average. Beautiful stage effects and hot music from the band is its main feature. Concluding the bill Is Dessa Byrd af, the organ and Newsreel.

FIND CLEWS IN BRUTAL MURDER OF U.ULERK ‘Man in Gray Cap’ Sought as Slayer of Woman at Washington. Bu United Pratt WASHINGTON, April 14.—“A man in a gTay cap” was being sought by police today as the murderer of Mary Baker, 28-year-old navy department worker, whose bullet-ridden body was found beside a culvert in the famous Arlington Memorial cemetery here Saturday morning. A meager description of Miss Baker’s companion of Friday night has been given police by three persons, who said they saw the pair arguing vehemently as they sat in the girl’s parked car near the Washington monument. These witnesses said the man appeared about 30 years old and wore a gray cap. The three—a married couple and a pedestrian, whose names have not been reaveled—told police they heard Miss Baker shriek and saw her companion strike her. As they hurried, toward the car, it spea away. Took License Number One of the witnesses took down the license number of the girl’s car and phoned police about the man’s cruelty. Soon police cars scoured streets nearby the place where the car had been parked, but could find no trace of it. Police believe the couple drove to Rosslyn, Va.. across the Potomac river after leaving their parking place near the monument. Residents of that district say they heard the couple quarreling. Soon afterward, the car started off at a high speed toward the Arlington cemetery. Heard Two Loud Reports Residents of Rosslyn declare they then heard two loud reports, but thought they were caused by the motor’s back-fire and did not bother any more about the affair until they read accounts of Miss Baker’s death. What happened between the time those shots were fired and the finding of Miss Baker’s body and her blood-stained car next day has not yet been revealed. Polict predicted today, however, the "man in the gray cap” soon would be apprehended. Fred Wilson, a young architect and friend of Miss Baker, was questioned by police Sunday. They say he gave them information which will help in finding the culprit.

DUCHESS IS FOUND GUILTY ON CHARGE OF TRYING SUICIDE

ft* < -ft*. ' i***I’* 1 ’* ’ A

Bv United Prr/tx LONDON, April 14.—The Duchess of Leinster, former chorus girl and wife of the premier duke of Ireland, was found guilty of attempting to commit suicide today in Lambeth police court At the duchess’ trial testimony was brought out that she provided, out of a $25-a-week allowance, the means of living for herself and Stanley Williams, 26-year-old cook, in whose cheap flat in Brixton she is alleged to have attempted suicide. At the end of the session, the duchess was remanded until April 19, in order that the court might obtain a medical report as to her condition. Further details of the misfortune of the girl who rose from the chorus to the wife of Ireland’s premier duke, and then sank again, were revealed when the duchess was arraigned in Lambeth police court this morning.

Williams, with whom the duchess lived for five weeks in an atmosphere of poverty and bitterness, made no attempt to smooth over his relations with former stage beauty. Quarreled Many Times He said that they quarreled much of the time, and that the duchess had twice attempted to commit suicide before the recent morning when she was found, suffering from gas poisoning, in the Brixton apartment. Continuing his cross-examination, H. G. Dickens, counsel for the duchess, asked Williams: “Weren't you frightened?” “No,” said the former chief. “There was nothing to be frightened about.” “Don’t you think it’s a matter to be frightened about when the woman you are living with tries to kill herself,” Dickens persisted. “That’s her own lookout, not mine,” Williams replied. Williams has returned to his own wife since the affair, and said he was received “as though he had been on a holiday.” During her cross examination, the duchess denied she intended to commit suicide, and said she wrote her ‘‘farewell” postcards merely to frighten Williams.

Led Unhappy Life She had led a very unhappy life for a long time, she said. On the morning of April 1. when she heard a knock at the door, she thought it was Williams returning, so she lay down on the floor of the kitchenette, but turned off the gas which had been flowing. She never lost consciousness, she claimed. “Had you any intention to take your life?” E. F. Barker, the prosecuting counsel, asked her. “No,” she said emphatically. “Do you mean that?” Barker insisted. "I mean that,” said the duches, “on my honor and on my oath.” MAN AND SISTER HELD Arrest at Lebanon on Liquor Charges Follows Auto Crash.

EGYPT ISSUE ACUTE Premier Demands Removal of British Troops. Bu United Press LONDON, April 14.—Negotiations between the Egyptian delegations and the British government for a new treaty regulating British control over Egypt reached an acute stage today, according to the Daily Mail, on the issue es future government over the Sudan. Premier Nahas Pasha is said to have insisted that British troops be moved to the eastern zone of the Sutz canal, and that all of Sudan be recognized as Egyptian territory, to be administered jointly by British and native officials. Nahas Pasha is also reported to have demanded that the vice-gov-ernor-general be an Egyptian. Elwood Man Kills Self Bu United Press ELWOOD, Ind., April 14.

What Do You Know About CHIROPRACTIC? NEURITIS THROBBING, STABBING. WRACKING, CONSTANT PAIN. This is the story which any SUFFERER from NEURITIS can TELL. IN VAIN he SEEKS RELIEF. Even at night the pain is almost UNBEARABLE. Soon LOSS OF SLEEP, continual suffering so drain the VITALITY and SAP the STRENGTH that his condition is indeed PITIABLE. NEURITIS in INFLAMMATION OF NERVES. Sometimes only one nerve is affected. Sometimes there are several. But why should there be INFLAMMATION. Is it something he has eaten? Is it the air he breathes? Is it the work he does? Other people eat the same kind of food, breathe the same air, do the same work and they are entirely well. Obviously the cause LIF.S WITHIN THF. BODY. What has happened to cause one or perhaps several of the nerves to be inflammed while there are thousands of others which are entirely normal. The CHIROPRACTOR knows that INFLAMMATION. whether in nerves or other tissue is due to a LACK OF VITAL ENERGY in the cells of that, tissue. He knows that the pain can be DEADENED by DRUGS which DEADEN the SENSIBILITIES, but he also is aware that this doesn’t REACH the cause. The UNUSUAL SUCCESS of the CHIROPRACTOR in this type of cases depends on his ability to locate and correct its cause. The RESULT of such CORRECTION is PERMANENT FREEDOM from PAIN. We reprint below a partial list of the more common ailments in which Chiropractic is effective. If the reader is interested in some condition not listed here he should consult his Chiropractor for additional information.

ITALIAN CLAIMS AMAZING FEATS FOR CARDEVICE Hopes to Revolutionize Auto Industry With His Invention. CLEVELAND. Apni 14.—When a. lad of 8 years. Louis M. Fabbro left his home in Colloredo, Italy, to work in a brick yard in a small Austrian town. He started work at 4:30 in the morning and tolled until 9:30 at night. Straw scattered on the ground was his bed and he lived on cheese and mush. Today the dream castles of his youth are becoming actualities. Recently he obtained a patent on a vaporizer and super-charger with which he expects to revolutionize the auto and aviation industry. The device, he says, will increase the mileage per gallon of gas, give more power, eliminate carbon, reduce the heat in the chambers of the motor and necessitate a change of oil only after 3,000 miles. In demonstrating the device today he went 20.1 miles on a gallon of gas in an old. dilapidated elghtcylinder auto. Without the device the car made only 8.5 miles per gallon. The car was a 1924 model. When he attaches the device to a new model, he declares he will astound the world. He predicts he will be able to drive twenty-five miles on a gallon of gas.
