TIPS ON HOME BREW GIVEN BY LA GUARDIA Legal Aspects o f Making Beer and Wine for Own Use Explained. By United Prett WASHINGTON, June 9.—A few tips on the legal aspects of homebrewing and wine-making were offered the public Sunday night by Representative La Guardia. Some of them were: The beverage must be made and consumed in the home, not transported. The beverage may not be called wine or beer or so labeled. The beverage must be “non-in-toxicating in fact.” But the maker as well as the government may introduce evidence on this moot point. The oeverage can not be given to strangers or sold to friends. Police can not enter a home without a search warrant. CHARGES IN LETTER DENIED BY HUSTON Conspiracy Against Him Alleged by National G. O. P. Chief. B" Scrinne-’fov-ard Xrwtpapcr Alliance WASHINGTON.

NEW TYPE OF MOVIE REVUE LANDS HERE Whiteman’s ‘King of Jazz’ Shows What Can Be Accomplished by Mechanical Effects and Color on the Screen. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN FROM a mechanical standpoint In stage sets and novelties, Paul Whiteman’s "King cf Jan" is about the most elaborate movie revue yet given the screen. Producers are realizing that the public is not falling from a box office standpoint for Just the average revue. In this case, Paul Whiteman starts out with a box office name. Now Paul is no actor, he is a ber.d leader and as suer* he must have his band. And the band is present during most of the picture, because these boys make the musical background for the revue.

I have always toid you that when Whiteman first played ‘‘Rhapsody in Blue’’ on the siege, he then discovered his meal ticket for years to come. It was this pioneer in the new sound jazz music which really made Paul Whiteman what he is today. And so in his first sound revue.' it was to be expected that Whiteman should feature this num-

ber as the big one in his revue. On the stage, Whiteman and his men suggested by tone the color and the idea back of this rev olutionary composition. O n the sound screen, Whiteman is able to let singers and dancers tell the story and the most weird color effects to aid in the description. The result is prob-

Paul Whiteman

ably the most satisfactory attempt so far to connect sound and color on the screen. The setting required is a hugh piano. From a mechanical standpoint, this scene is a wonder. And the number has been faithfully recorded. I believe that I am safe in telling you that "The King of Jazz,” is the most ambitious revue from a stage and scenic standpoint that the screen has had. Whiteman and his band have always had a certain refinement and personality and they have carried those two attributes to the sound screen.

I am confident that no picture has ever had a better musical background. From a comedy standpoint this movie revue relies mostly upon sketches, very short in length, with a knockout climax to put over the comedy punch. Any picture having John Boles as the chief singer is safe right from the start. Boles has many song numbers and each one has merit, especially his “Song of the Dawn,” done with a large male chorus. Laura La Plante, Jeanette Loss, the Brox Sisters and Glenn Tryon are among the big individual names in the cast. “King of Jazz” is gigantic entertainment from a scenic and novelty standpoint. The box office will tell us whether we have changed our taste regarding the movie revue. Now at the Circle. tt tt MARIE AND POLLY QUARREL AND MAKE UP One of the safest rifles of the amusement game is to put a quarrel between two human beings as one of the features of the entertainment. That formula has made fortunes for many and, now Marie Dressier

and Polly Moran are getting wealthy with the same formula in "Caught Short.” Am going to make a confession. All you have to do is just to announce that Marie Dressless is in a movie and I will rush over and see it. To me she is the f umflest woman on the screen because she is the most human. She has a good comedy

Short.” Forced or not, these two handed me many a laugh in this movie. It is true the story as played by Marie and Polly is just plain hokum dished up in the peculiar style that these two funmakers use in putting over their fun. All I have to do is just to look at Marie Dressier, watch her face, and off I go laughing. In “Caught Short,” Marie and Polly are running rival boarding houses and these two quarrel over their respective children, and even the time of day. Polly suddenly gets wealthy playing the market, and she Immediately starts putting the ritz on poor old Marie. Polly develops an accent which Marie hates and resents. Then foot after foot of quarrels. They always make up, and when Marie plays the market and gets suddenly rich Marie begins to show up Polly's accent. The end is that the market goes wrong, they are cut short and both go back to their boarding house duties. It seems to me that they have put the soft pedal on Marie’s souse scenes. In this picture they are more indicated than fully developed. Probably not a great picture, but it did hand me the laughs. I told you in the beginning that one of my weaknesses is my love for Marie Dressier. Now at the Palace. tt tt u WHEN HUSBAND AND WIFE BOTH WORK Have you ever noticed that when a bey and girl get hitched up in harness together and both are working and both keep on working, there are always quarrels and spats about the money question. This is the essential theme in Katherine Brush’s novel, “Young Men of Manhattan,”

You see, I did not read the book, but I did see the talkie, and if the book is as interesting, I think I shall buy a copy tomorrow and put on my reading glasses. Here Is a story of newspaper people that is so human and so full of the pulse of life that you feel a part of it. It is one of those episodes of living,

breathing people, who, like ourselves, are struggling from the darkness into the light. The things that happen to Ann and Toby, might happen to any one in any walk of life. Having them employed by the press only lends a local color of interest and excitement. Ann. a feature writer, played by Claudette Colbert, and Toby, a sports writer, portrayed by Norman Foster, fall in love at first sight, when they meet each other in a downpour cf rain, after a prize fight. Naturally, being a sensible young man and woman, they marry. Both keep their jobs, and everything is lovely until Ann begins to make more money than Toby. Ann was climbing upward, but Tobey die J not have the will power to pul! j himself up beside her. As Ann brought home most of the bacon. Ann paid most of the bills, and this I did, not agree so well with Toby’s j ego’. On top of this they quarrel about ] a flapper, acted by Ginger Rogers, who is continually annoying Toby with her attentions. It finally ends in a separation, which is heart breaking to both. Their reunion does not take place until Ann is blinded temporarily by some bad booze, which Toby had left in their vacated apartment. This almost tradegy. awakens Toby to'lris senses, and writing the novel he had always threatened to write, he makes good, and climbs up beside Ann into the limelight of success. Norman Foster and Claudette Colbret each play their parts with

understanding and feeling. They are to be congratulated. Ginger Rogers, who has been hare several times upon the Indiana stage, makes an ideal flapper in this picture, her first cinema venture. Charles Ruggles, as Toby’s pal furnishes the comedy with great success. Direction is good, with glimpes of big sport events, which are not thrust into the front too much, to detract from the story. Very good entertainment. You should see it. On the stage the Indiana offers “Top o’ the World,” with Ray Teal as master of ceremonies. Ray, who plays a mean saxophone, seems to have the same power over the stage band as our own Charlie. He draws the music out of the boys and makes It sizzle. Bernardo De Pace gets notes out of a mandolin that you would not think possible, and the Emil Ehtor girls perform some real treats in gymnastics. The settings and chorus numbers are colorful and the most beautiful seen on the Indiana stage for some time. Now showing at the Indiana. (By Connell Turpen). Other theaters today offer: Otto Gray and his Oklahoma Cowboys at the Lyric, George Fares at the Colonial, Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell in their second week at the Apollo, and “Paramount on Parade” at the Ohio.
