IRISH SOLDIERS PLEDGE AID TO NEW PRESIDENT Full Independence, Union With Ulster Are Aims of Free State Troops. By United Press DUBLIN. March 28,—Eamon De Valera will resume negotiations with Great Britain intended to abolish the oath and land annuity payments, backed by an Easter Sunday demonstration that the Irish republican army is supporting him. The roll of muffled drums Easter morning, followed by the army's peaceful march through the streets of Dublin and other cities confounded critics of the Republican Free State who had predicted violence. The army commemorated the 1916 “Easter rebellion” in peaceful manner, just as De Valera had promised it would. The army appealed for support of De Valera and repudiation of the Anglo-Irish treaty of 1921. Its parade without restriction was the first, since the Free State was formed. Army's Strength Amazing Men and youths who had drilled by night in mountain hideouts marched proudly before thousands of spectators. Their strength and degree of military perfection was a surprise to many who watched them converge on historic St. Stephen's green. At, the orderly demonstrations a proclamation was read, signed by the council of the Irish republican army, appealing to the people to support De Valera, uproot the Cosgrave regime and drive out “British imperialists.” The aims of the army for an allIreland republic, and its plans and ideals, were outlined at length. Assails Cosgrave Regime The proclamation made a sensational attack on Congrave and his cabinet, “They launched war against the Irish people, at the order of the British government, that broke up homes and crowded thousands of Irish men and women into filthy prisons, and there foully did to death many of the best of our youth,” the proclamation said. “There will be need for the Irish republican army as long as Ireland is held forcibly within the British empire and the shackles of the socalled (Anglo-Irish) treaty remain. This treaty ivas imposed by force; to undo it is our duty.” Army Still "at War” The army still considers itself at war with England, for it never has recognized the peace treaty of 1921. The anniversary of the Easter rebellion was the opportunity for nationalist sentiment, pent up for more than a decade, to be released in fifty-four republican demonstrations. In Dublin, flags of the Irish republic, hidden away since the English army quelled the country after five years of fighting, were borne aloft at the head of a great parade of five battalions of the Irish republican army. UTILITY ‘WRITEUP’’IN VALUATION REVEALED Company Headed by Hoover Appointee Shows $.1,000,000 Apprecial By Scripps-Hotcard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, March 28.—Federal trade commission examiners have found an appreciation, or "write-up,” of more than $3,000,000 In the valuation of Arkansas Power and Light Company, of whici Harvey C. Couch, appointed by President Hoover as member of the United States reconstruction finance corporation, is president and chairman of the board. The report was made in the utilities inquiry which the administration has recommended be denied further funds. Arkansas Power and Light is a member of the Electric Bond and Phare group. It was organized by 8n intermediary agent, who gathered together a number of properties and turned them over to Electric Power and Light, a bond and share holding company, for organization into new company. UNITED STATES LOSING POPULARITY IN EUROPE Failure to Balance Budget Causes Dire Predletions Abroad. By Vnifrd Press LONDON, March 28.—Popularity of {he United States in Europe, at its highest peak of recent years when President Herbert Hoover announced his moratorium proposal, is heading rapidly toward anew low. Failure so far to balance the budget has resulted in all sorts of dire predictions. Abandonment of the gold standard; “flight from the dollar;” complete impoverishment of the once mighty financial colossus; these are some of the forecasts heard in London and continental capitals. LANDS 22>00T~SHARK Film Producer's Haul Tips Scales at 5,872 Pounds. By United Pres* SAN PEDRO. Cal., March 28. Harold Austin, youthful Hollywood film producer, has qualified as an expert oeep-sea fisherman, and has produced a catch which makes members of the Ananias club look silly. His haul was a 5.872-pound elephant shark, measuring twentytwo and one-half feet from stem to stern, French Theater Taxes Cot By United Brett PARIS, March 28.—The threatened amusement strike which would have darkened many of the gay places of Paris, appeared averted today by the government’s agreement to reduce theater taxes by 5 per cent and establish credit for owners of motion picture houses.

NO MORE IS NEEDED ! IN BARRYMORE FILMi - - -- ■■■._. - - Ted Lewis Has Surrounded Himself and His Band With the Best Show This Melody-Tragedian Ever Has Produced. BV WALTER D. HICKMAN WITH two Barrymores in the same picture nothing more is needed, and I believe you will agree with me when you see “Arsene Lupin.” Lionel and John Barrymore are teamed in a talking version of some of the exploits and adventures of Arsene Lupin. Lionel has a heavy role, that of a detective who keeps one guessing concerning his motives as he sets out to trap Lupin, who has warned the Paris police that he would rob an art gallery right under their very nose, and he does that. You will find John playing the role of the duke of Charmerace, and Lionel is Guerchard, famous French detective. Since this picture opened I have been asked many times which one of the
Barrymore family is the best. Generally, I am on the verge of saying Lionel, I must not sophisticate the light comedy work of John.
I guess the only fair answer would be that both are equally effective. Also, bear in mind, that Lionel Is my favorite of the Barrymore family. Just trying to be fair, that’s all. So I give both a perfection rating. John shows his great skill at char- | acter makeup at end of the story when he makes up like an elderly flower vendor in the art

gallery. Here is makeup as splendid as any ever conceived by Lionel. Lionel, during the entire picture, will confuse you and that trick is obtained only by the very highest type of acting. He kept me guessing and interested from the very beginning of the picture. Nothing more is needed when two Barrymores are in the cast. The story is not a heavy one, in fact, very light and in the hands of less competent stars it would be a mess. Lionel and John make a classic out of it. Lights, direction, supporting cast and photography are just right. Now' at the Palace. n n n BE A’F.RY CAREFUL WHAT YOU EAT After seeing “The Impatient Maiden,” I firmly decided never to eat a hamburger sandwich and then have an X-ray picture taken of my inners. The secret of one’s stomach, especially in these prohibition days, is
so intimate that I for one would fear to risk it. At times I didn’t know whether to laugh at or with this picture. The story is just so and so, but it is the direction of James Whale which really makes this one what it is. He brings touches of real life into the story that t he story itself does not contain. And
Mae Clarke
that is remarkable direction. Lew Ayres is cast as a young interne with many years of study ahead of him when he meets Ruth Robbins, played by Mae Clarke. Ruth has her own very definite ideas about marriage and it takes an operation, an emergency one, by the young doctor on her before she realizes that love is grand and that she just must march to the altar with her man. It is the great comedy W'ork of Una Merkel and Andy Devine that will make this picture talked about. This Merkel person is developing into a grand high comedy actress And so the laughs are winning at the Apollo this week. n n TED LEWIS IS AT HIS VERY BEST I have been seeing Ted Lewis for years and I knew him personally in the old days when he was in the big revues. I can safely say that
his High - Hatted Revue now' on the Indiana, stage is the best piece of entertainm en t I have ever seen him in: He seems to me to be not only able to stay abreast of the times, but even goes ahead of the times. His band at times is hot in the term of modern music. Then just as successfully. the band goes into tne

dramatic and sentimental stuff which has alw'ays made Lewis a leader. His dream number when Lewis falls asleep and about six girls come out made up to look like Lewis. I believed that Lewis is sincere in his dramatic melody moods and he has always been able to give me several serious thoughts. And that seems strange when I am speaking of a jazz band leader. His Old Minstrel number is a fine flash and it has sentiment also. A colored quartet which struts its stuff in song and dance about stops the show. And the show does stop when Lewis brings out a very small colored boy, who imitates a colored dancer in a previous dance. This young boy is not only a wonderful dancer but he is a comedian and carries on splendidly with Lewis. And the lad can sing. Os course much of his success rests upon the great showmanship of Lewis. For a spice number. Lewis turns his girls loose in a Hula number. And it is just that. The orchestra is placed in a gigantic high-hat the kind that Lewis always wears on the stage. If I were voting right now, I would say that this T eA Lewis' show is the most satisfactory stage show I have ever seen at the Indiana. It is miles ahead of “Girl Crazy.” The movie is Barbara Stanwyck in “Shopworn,” another story of a good girl who loved a rich boy, but his high-hat mamma would not let her into the family circle. So our Nell is framed and when she gets out of prison she starts being a bad gal. The ending? Oh. yes. proud mamma finally decides that our Nell
fast ™ FROZEN DELICIOUS ice cream, 7?ir R.W.FURKAS ICE CREAM CO
is a fine gal. La. la and a couple more of the same thing and then a happy ending. The acting on the part of Miss Stanw’yck and Regis Toomey as well as Zasu Pitts is much, very much better than the story. Be your own judge as usual. But do not miss seeing Ted Lewis and his company. Now at the Indiana. nun HERE IS A SMART DRAMA OF THE AIR It is my opinion that “The Lost Squadron ’ is a very bold movie because its theme and treatment is really the low down on how air thrillers might be made. Am not saying that the story is true but the way it is worked up it is most effective air melodrama and carries a big punch. The story opens with Richard Dix, Joel McCrea, Robert Arm-
strong and Hugh Herbert as fliers or those attached to a bombing squadron during the World war When the war is over the four return and are told by the patriots who stayed at home that they would find nothing changed. The director then shows three of the patriots patronizing bre ad lines and free

rides In a box car. The three hero hoboes get to Hollywood where Woody (Armstrong) has made good by being a stunt flier for an unprinaipled director who would do anything, including murder, to get a crackup scene in his picture. Erich von Stroheim is the right man for this very cruel and unsympathetic role. The story is melodrama and so is the acting. These war heroes get fifty bucks a day for risking their necks to stage crackups for the movies. The air shots in the movie studio with Von Stroheim acting as the cruel director are splendid. They really are melodramaUc marvels. Von Stroheim gives his director characterization some touches that are not false. That I know. Am not speaking of the cruelty and baseness of the director, but his vanity which demands a chorus of yes-men always around him. Not going to tell you any more of the story. You are going to remember Dix for a long time as well as the four or five dare-devil fliers who stage the thrills. You are going to have a grand time when you see “The Lost Squadron.” And it isn’t a war air story either. Now at the Circle. n st u Tuesday night at English’s, Fred Stone and his daughter Paula open a two-day engagement in “Smiling Faces.” Other theaters today offer: Mary Ann Jackson at the Lyric; “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” at Keith's and “Night Hawks” at the Mutual. n n u Neighborhood theaters tonight offer; “Lovers Courageous" at the Emerson; “Wayward” at the Hamilton; “Strictly Dishonorable” at the Hollywood and Irving; “Delicious” at the Stratford; “Shanghai Express” at the Daisy and ‘Fireman Save My Child” at the Rivoli. Soviet Peasants Get Concession By United Brets MOSCOW, March 28.—The Communist party made a concession to the private property instinct among Russian peasants by announcing that members of the kolkholzes, or collective farms run by the state, must be permitted private possession of one cow, other livestock, and poultry.

BILL TO STEM TARIFF WARS NEAR PASSAGE Measure Seeks to Lessen World-Wide Trade Curb of Smoot-Hawley Act. | By Rcripps-JTorrtird Xrtcspaprr Alliance WASHINGTON, March 28.—Democratic legislation designed to lessen some of the adverse worldtrade influences of the HawleySmoot tariff is scheduled to pass the senate today or Tuesday. The bill previously passed the house and may reach President Herbert Hoover within a week. Be- | cause the measure is opposed by Senators Smoot. Watson, Reed, Fess and other Republican champions of the existing tariff law, a veto is predicted. It contemplates that the Presi- | dent shall initiate an international : economic conference to lower ex- j cessive tariff duties and eliminate ! discriminatory and unfair trade ! practices between the nations, pre- 1 vent retaliatory tariffs, and generally promote fair, equal, friendly trade relations between the nations. • Other provisions would remove from the tariff commission the ; right to fix rates, restoring this I privilege to congress and authorize appointment of a consumers’ counsel to represent the public during rate-making hearings before the commission. Republicans, particularly Senators James E. Watson and Reed Smoot,, deny that the tariff law' is" responsible for the nation’s economic ills and assert that the contemplated conference Is an entering wedge for American entry into a sort of league of nations. Senator Pat Harrison <Dem., Miss.) asserted that the League of i Nations charge is a “bugaboo.” “All that w'e seek to do,” Harri- \ son says, “in order that we may j again build up some export trade j and commerce, is to create a world i sentiment favorable to the reduc- ! tion of excessive tariff rates and j the removal of trade barriers and j discriminations.”
A BOOK A DAT 8Y BRUCE CATTON
CECIL CASS didn’t amount to much, but when he was detected in an affair with his employer’s wife, and went home and cut his throat, he started a chain of events that set his little town in the north of England very much aflutter. His widow, you see, owned the sumptuous Red House, which three j or four other people wanted rather ! badly; and it was filled with an- j tique furniture which they wanted J even more. So, when she put the j whole business up for auction, after J her husband’s suicide, the town got : the thrill of its life. All of this is described in a novel, j “Red Room,” by Geoffrey Dennis; j and if you read that gentleman's j "Mary Lee” or “The End of the | World” you probably will lose very | little time in buying it. Mr. Dennis evidently has a low opinion of the people who live in j small English towns. He has put \ into this book about as choice a j collection of malicious gossips, i pompous hypocrites, swindlers, liars, j and all-round rogues as any one | book could hold; and he describes ! them with a skill and a painstaking j accuracy that brings them to life i perfectly. The plot of his story is simple, j He merely tells of the scramble, on ] the part of Cecil Cass’ fellow towns- j people, for his earthly effects; but ; in the telling he injects much wise I comment on human beings, worldly j hopes and life in general, and ! makes this short novel a first-rate j book. “Red Room” is published by Simon and Schuster, and costs $2. •PLEASE DON'T DISTURB’ Firemen Carry Sound Sleeper to Safety Without Awaking Him, By United Press CHICAGO.
