ELECTION FOES IN BRITAIN LOOK TO KING GEORGE Crown Expected to Urge Retention of Coalition Government. BY KEITH JONES, United Preo Staff Corresnondent LONDON, Sept. 28.—The possibility that King George may advise Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald against an immediate general election gained support today. It was believed that the king would urge the present national coalition government to remain in office until the pound sterling is stabilized at a definite economic level and the worst phases of the present crisis have passed. Such a decision would be certain to please financial quarters, the. Liberal newspapers, and the powerful section of the press controlled by Lord Rothermere. Chaos Is Feared It is argued that an election would throw the country into chaos at a time when the financial situation is still very uncertain and that it would take government leaders away from London for electioneering when they should be at work at their offices in Whitehall. Pro-election arguments, mostly from Conservative quarters, are based on the assumption that a national government led by MacDonald and including Liberals and. Laborites converted to tariff policies would result in a substantial Nationalist majority in parliament. They believe the “National label” would overcome arguments that the Conservatives had got control of the government by persuading MacDonald to head their campaign. Task for Nationals The Conservatives maintain that a National government would be stable and able to employ any desirable means, including tariffs, to restore Britain’s trade. Lord Rcthermere’s Sunday Dispatch pointed out that the combined Labor and Liberal vote in the last election, which would oppose the National candidates, was 5,000,000 more than the Conservative votes. The newspaper doubted whether MacDonald and Sir John Simon would be able to attract enough votes from the Liberal and Labor ranks to overcome this minority.

GOOFY DIALOGUE IS DISHED OUT IN FILM Pet Turtles Have a Butler and Travel on Trains With Nikki and Her Gang in ‘The Last Flight.’ BY WALTER D. HICKMAN EVER hear of little pet turtles being tucked away in a basket and then being bathed by a butler? Well, that is one of the goofy jobs of Elliott Nugent in “The Last Flight,” which is the movie version of a much-discussed magazine story, “Nikki and Her War Birds." And the conversation of Nikki played by Helen Chandler) and her four boys friends—Nugent, Dick Barthelmess, John Mack Brown and David Manners—is just as goofy as the situations of four mentally wrecked airmen of the World w’ar going on one mad spree after the armistice.

Never have I seen so much drinking in a movie as in this one. Nikki finds that the four goofy pariors following one night of high powered drinking just naturally attach themselves to her and even rub her back in the bathroom. But, Nikki is a lady although she talks as nutty as a parrott. She wears pink slippers because she can w r alk faster in them. If I try to give you much

more of this goofy conversation in “The Last Flight” I will go nutty myself. The fact is I felt like I had on a goofy jag after seeing this one. My first im - pression of this picture of thought (having seen it at a special screening some weeks ago) I realized that here probably was the wildest farce the

Helen Chandler

screen has ever projected and one of the best. It has been beautifully directed, cast, protographed and the recording is splendid. The goofy acting of Miss Chandler Is full of charm and there is a fine Barrie whimsical touch to her work. And she lets you feel that there is tragedy and drama just around the corner. It is this undertone or background of death, tragedy and utter loneliness that makes it such a fine but strange entertainment. It is hard to understand Nikki’s pals, but the work of Barthelmess and the others really rank very high from an acting standpoint. I believe that it* is an audience picture, although, you will hear some of the most goofy conversation you have ever heard dished out in a theater. Now at the Indiana. tt tt tt THEY GLORIFY TIIE WESTERN MOVIE Remember way back in the good old silent days on the screen when Bill Hart and the others glorified

western stories and where men w T ere men and villains were just that. Now it seems that the producers of talkers have decided that it

would be wise and popular to glorify by sound some of those western stories. And so the west of yesterday is brought up to date by Warner Baxter in “The Squaw Man,” which was quite a something on the stage many years ago. I think the picture has overdone the sympathy racket for the little Indian girl played by Lupe Velez, who marries

"gB < W fl

Warner Baxter

an Englishman of title while in hiding way out west in the states. Miss Velez is cute, but she puts on the sympathetic dumb act too strong. And even when she kills herself I had the feeling that she was just dumb enough to do such a thing because her little son was being sent to England to become a gentleman instead of just an Indian lad. The greatest defect of this movie is that the director has padded and prolonged the scenes beyond any reason. This slows up the action. One example of that is the drinking scene of Baxter when he is looking at a girl’s picture in a magazine. I can’t say that Baxter is a whirlwind as the Englishman who goes western and the husband of an Indian girl. So many false notes have crept in. To me “Squaw Man” is just another western with the glorification

rather sour in spots. Be your own judge as usual. Now at the Palace. n * AGAIN HERE IS A VERY SMART COMEDY You are going to ask me if “Rebound," with Ina Claire >is as smart as her “Holiday.” My answer is that “Rebound” is the smartest Comedy since “Holir

day,” thus puttirife the star and her vehicles in the same class. I also think that “Rebound” is too smart for a popular box office response. In other words, it comes under the head of class entertainment instead of general. I maybe all wet in this but that is my opinion. I also believe that Miss Claie is the most

Ina Claire

elegant of all women of the screen or stage in smart comedies such as “Rebound” and “Holiday.” She doesn’t make faces or throw mud pies to get laughs, but she gets the laughs and turns out many gorgeous comedy situations because she knows her business. This time she is cast as an ultra smart society girl who marries a fellow on the rebound, meaning that she married him when Evie (Mynia Loy) turns him down to marry a rich old bird. The fellow that Miss Claire captures on the rebound is played magnifiicently by Robert Ames. Sara is the character played by Miss Claire. Sara and her hubby are happy until Evie arrvies on the scene and starts a most scandalous flirtation with Sara’s husband. And Sara does suffer, but you are laughing most of the tjme while Sara is suffering because it is comedy and not tragedy. Os course Sara is a darn little fool to permit her husband to flaunt his sweetie right into her

face, as well as to permit her parade right into his own home. She should have given hubby a swift kick, but I guess wives are not doing that this season in the movies because that would be hokum and not high comedy. “Rebound” shows signs of being directed by a genius. It is a mighty good and smart play. The acting of Miss Claire is the last word. If you are searching for smart entertainment, then put this one on your list. But you must have an appetite for it or you will blame us for telling you to see it. Gene Dennis is in the second week of her engagement at the Circle this week. am BUTTERWORTH SAVES ANOTHER MOVIE AGAIN I am beginning to consider Charles Butterworth as a movie saver because he has kept several movies from being utter failures. This time he is saving Winnie Lightner and “Side Show” from being an awful bore and a mess. So

there can be no misunderstanding, I think Miss Lightner is a total loss on the talking screen. To file this actress is about as funny as a step ladder trying to walk. I thought at first it might be her vehicles, but now I know it is her own acting limitations. And in all fairness to her, “Side Show” as a play is no hot

thing. The saddest thing that can

happen to Winnie is to allow her to be dramatic and she is dramatic and pulls the sob stuff in great wads in this one. The fact is about everything is sad about “Side Show” but Charles Butterworth. I think that Butterworth is the most individual comedian we have on the screen. His devotion to the character played by Miss Lightner is funny and tragic, but every time he opens his mouth he makes you laugh. Not so with Winnie. By this time you will have discovered or even slightly suspicioned that “Side Show” as a study or recital of circus or carnival life is pretty bad with one. Well, that is my opinion. You have your own, as Winnie may be your favorite. And that’s fine, too. Now at the Apollo.

GERMAN SHIPS JUNKED Auction of Retired W’ar Vessels Fails to Bring Single Bid. By Unltnf Prctg WIL HELMSHAVEN, Germany, Sept. 28.—Battleships are not in demand. An attempt of the admiralty to auction off two of its retired vessels failed utterly. Neither the cruiser Nymphe nor the battleship Lothringen, both built thirty years ago, found any bidders. The admiralty finally was compelled to sell them to a scrapping firm. Nymphe netted a price of 61.500 marks, while for Lothringen 306,850 marks was paid.
