WATSON. WOOD t HOPE TO ‘SELL’ ! HOOVER REGIME Called On by G. 0. P. for Radio, Press and Stump Campaign of Nation. J I*Y PAUL R. MALLON lotted Free* Sf* Crre*endent WASHINGTON. July 7.—An unusually extensive campaign to sell the accomplishments of President Hoover’s administration to the country is being inaugurated this week by the regular Republican leaders, the Uuited Press learned today. The campaign Is to be conducted via the radio, the press and the political stump. Mr. Hoover has decided agamst taking a personal part In the campaign, his leaders having been informed he will not make his anticipated tour of the west s national parks and the farm belt. He will make no speeches of a political nature during the summer recess of congress, these leaders say. That job has been turned over to two Indiana Republican stalwarts, Floor Leader Watson of the senate and Representative Will R. Wood, chairman of the Republican congressional campaign committee. Watson Starts Thursday Watson will sta*. work Thursday with a speech over a national radio hookup. His subject will be “The Achievements of the Hoover Administration.’ A statement of this topic was issued today through the Republican national committee by Representative Temple (Rep., Pa.), newly-appointed chairman of the house foreign affairs committee. Temple, however, confined his encomiums to the international field, asserting the administration had to Its credit ten major achievements since Mr. Hoover became President sixteen months ago. Negotiations of the London naval treaty headed the list. For his part, Representative Wood already has retained George B. Lockwood, publisher of the National Republican, to act as publicity adviser to the congressional committee. Lockwood has been prominent in Republican publicity circles during the last ten years and his work will augment that of the national committee’s publicity bureau. Later, after the special treaty session of the senate is adjourned, Lockwood may arrange a western tour for Watson through the territory which the President might have covered on his trip. Mr. Hoover is said to feel that the condition of business, the situation in the stock market and the political crisis his party is facing in the November congressional elections dictates he remain in Washington throughout the summer and early fall. In addition, the President is confronted with the task of filling numerous important posts, the most troublesome of these being a successor to Claudius Huston as chairman of the Republican national committee. Republican leaders have gone to considerable lengths to let Huston know his resignation is in order, as a result of the senate lobby committee’s disclosures concerning ] his activities. Thus far, however, the Tennesseean has declined to abdicate.

SEEK NEGRO SLAYERS AFTER DEADLY RIOTS Alabama Possm Tracking Trio for Shooting of White Man. Frc EMELLE, Ala.. July 7. Armed posses, urged on by an offer by Governor Bibb Graves of S3OO reward. searched the countryside today for three Negroes, members of a family whose shooting of a white man on the afternoon of July 4 started one of the worst race riots Alabama has seen in the last four years, and which so far has resulted in the death of five men and one woman. The small Negro settlement of West Bessemer, a few miles from here, was deserted. Frightened Negroes had left their cabins and ramped under trees at the homes of friendly whites. Two Negroes were killed Sunday by posses when they disobeyed orders to halt for identification. During the middle ages the word “engineer” was used as the title for the military officer who planned campaigns or laid out works of defense.

CHARLIE AND LARRY DO SOME SMOKING Two Masters of Ceremonies Get Along Famously on the Same Stage at the Very Same Times Without Trouble. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN SOME wag once stated that no single stage is big enough to house two masters of ceremonies at the same time. Even one When master is Larry Rich and the other no midget, such as Charlie Davis, one begins to realize that the remark might be well taken. The truth is that the stage of the Indiana this week is large enough for Rich and Davis, and although both land entertainment knockout blows, neither one is injured, neither reputations or good feelings. The setting for the stage show this week is a part of hell and is called

"Satan's Holiday.” Maybe that is the reason that Charlie and Larry smoke. Larry has his always

present cigar which becomes a baton and a guide for the orchestra. Charlie smokes one cigarette srfid gets his light from the Devil. Charlie and his boys along with several visitors who came along with Larry Rich go in for some good harmony. The Southern lad, I think his name is Dub Taylor, goes in for sorre mighty

Charlie Davis

hot harmonica playing which stops the show- He has an individual way about him which puts him over. After Charlie gets through with the boys, he introduces Rich, who takes over the orchestra. Rich has always has a good comedy way in handling an orchestra. He has developed that method now until it has become a science. He brings on Ralph Lewis, an Indianapolis lad, who does a dance. The boy loo 1 " like he will land- Rich states he has the boy signed up for three years and is going to take him to London with him at the end of this month. Rich sings a song, “Fools on Parade” and gets away to a good finish. Davis returns and introduces three fine adagio dances, Dolores, Eddy and Douglas. The best I have ever seen. No doubt about it. This act has a spectacular finish. Davis leads his orchestra in a patriotic overture in the pit this week and the finale is an interesting stage picture. It sure gives the show a stirring start. In the movie, “The Social Lien,” Jack Oakie starts out as a young prize fighter, who gets a knockout in a fight because his opponent tells him that his shoe is unlaced. Oakie looks and then goes into a long sleep. Oakie’s manager, played by Skeets Gallagher, wise-cracks that in his next fight Oakie will wear bedroom slippers so they will not become untied. “The Social Lion” was made for laughs and comes under the head of just summer entertainment. Now at the Indiana. 000 LILLIAN GISH TALKS ON THE SCREEN Gloria Swanson and Greta Garbo got the publicity breaks when they brought out their first talkers. The press agentj started out to

ask the world Can the mysterious Garbo actually talk? And when we saw “Anna Christie” we knew that Garbo could talk. But the day has passed when we are interested in the simple question whether a movie idol can talk or not. The world has ruled that they must talk or get off the screen. There was no such

M- jA

Lillian Gish

romance about Lillian Gish when "One Romantic Night” was announced. At that very time Miss Gish was on Broadway in the flesh speaking her lines in a play. “One Romantic Night” was made from a rather highbrow play or satire upon life in a royal household by the name of “The Swan.” It is necessary to compare the smartness of the stage version with the movie script. The director has failed to transfer to the screen the bitter satire which made "The Swan” a delight on the stage. Miss Gish is cast as the lovely princess whose mother demands that she marry a prince, played by Rod La Rocque, and get a crown so the family pocketbook will not look like a beggar’s purse. But the princess thinks she is in love with the tutor, played by Conrad Nagel, in the royal household. The mother of the princess is Marie Dressier and of course even when Marie trys to be the grand lady you just about fall out of your seat although the author never intended such a thing. And so we have the prince and the tutor both trying to win the hand of the princess. For the ending I refer you to the movie. Miss Gish is charming in voice and gesture. She is no disappointment but the play itself has lost somethihg in being brought to the screen. I think that La Rocque is miscast as the prince. A beautiful scenic background has been given “One Romantic Night.” To me it is just fair entertainment. Be your own judge as usual. Now at the Palace. a a a MOVIETONE FOLLIES FAILS TO RING THE BELL My verdict of "Fox Movietone Follies of 1930” is that he fails to ring the entertainment bell, and that it is less than fair entertainment It seems to me that the Fox people desired to keep the title of “Fbx Movietone Follies” because its first

edition was interesting entertainment and could have been built up in a good series, a thing to be anticipated yearly But in the last few months the public has wearied of movie revues and even turned a cold shoulder to Harry Richman in “Puttin* cm the Ritz” and Paul Whiteman’s "King of Jazz.” The bar

office story has not been pleasant for revues lately. Although "Movietone Pollies” this year has a revue title it is really not a revue in the accepted sense of the word. It tells the simplattod uninspired story of

a society rounder, a nice lad played by William Collier Jr., and an actress, played by Mirian Seegar. The boy wants to marry the actress, but she thinks he is fickle and will have none of him. He brings the whole show to his uncle’s estate. Uncle arrives, but a lady of the chorus suddenly proves that Uncle has no reason to object to his relative marrying a nice little actress. El Brendel is present as the alleged comedy relief. To me this man is not funny with his rather plain meaning eyes and mo vements. He plays opposite Marjorie White, and she probably gives the best performance of an otherwise less than fair movie. Let me hear from you and your verdict on this one. Now at the Apollo. 000 BILLIE DOVE AS A CLEVER DETECTIVE Billie Dove as a detective. You probably are thinking, “Well, now I’ll tel) one,” but it is nevertheless true. In “Sweethearts and Wives” Miss Dove does some very clever detective work, not because it is her vocation, but on her own hook. Do not let the name ‘Sweethearts and Wives” fool you, either. Although a sweetheart and wife have much to do in this movie, it is for all that a mystery. Unlike Miss Dove’s previous roles, here she has a chance to portray

several different characters. She has a chance to act. And she proves she can act, when it is demanded of her, and the right part is handed out to her. She slips from one character to another with apparent ease. First as a French maid, then as a woman of mystery apparently connected with the underworld, then as a loving wife, and

*■■ m - ' y ”*'* "

Billie Dove

last as a clever young lady with social position. Perhaps you will not agree with me, but in my opinion Miss Dove does the best work in this picture, she has thus done in the talkies. My only hope is she has more roles like this one. Playing with Miss Dove, is Sidney Blackmer, who falls madly in love with her. Leila Hyams also plays a prominent part as the wife of a suspicious and jealous husband. Asa detective, Clive Brooks is right there with his smooth front, but not to smooth for Billie, who ruffles it a little, and outwits him all the way round. The story is for the most part, about a diamond necklace which both Miss Dove and Clive Brook are trying to get. There is a murder also, to make things more interesting and complicated, but it is only secondary to the plot. “Sweethearts and Wives” is good entertainment, with Billie Dove at her best, or I might say Billie Dove greatly improved. The picture, “Up the Congo,” included on the bill, proves to be very interesting from an educational standpoint, and also from sheer curiosity, did I like it. The heart of Africa is laid out in picture form before you. You see the natives at their work, and their play. You see the latest styles of the peoples of the Congo, their customs and their homes. Perhaps this might get tiresome to the average theater audience, but it does not do any of us harm to know how the other parts of the world are like. An Independence day feature and Newsreel complete the program. Now showing at the Circle. The Lyric this week is offering Pat Lane as master of ceremonies in a circus week bill. The movie is “Swing High,” with Helen TwelveOther theaters today offer “Ladies of Leisure” at the Colonial and “True to the Navy” at the Ohio. BILLBOARDS ARE TAXED France Adopts Profitable Method of Ousting Road Signs. Bv United Press PARIS, July 7.—France has found a profitable method of getting rid of advertising billlboards cluttering the public highways. Anew government tax forces every advertiser to pay a stiff sum for every square foot of paper pasted on the bill boards. The tax starts at about $24 for each thirtynine inches square of signs under seven feet square; S4B for those under twelve feet square, and sll6 for those over twenty-four feet square. The tax is paid on each sign, not merely the original copy.
