FAILURE LOOMS FOR IMPORTANT SENATE BILLS Only Extended Session Can Rescue Measures on Calendar. fiii Hrrippt-tlpward V rirnpeper A lUance WASHINGTON, May 24 —Numerous important pieces of legislation, now on the senate calendar, will fail of enactment unless congress remains in session all or most of the summer. The unprecedented jam in the senate is causing leaders in that body to bend all their energies toward enactment of a tax bill, ten appropriation bills, and a relief bill, and has forced into the background other issues that, would ordinarily b© of first importance. Unless the senate moves considerably faster than it has so far. these measure* ran barely be completed by the end of the fiscal year, June 30, leaders estimate. a continuance of the session through the hottest summer months or a reres* until fall if anv of the other bills are to receive attention. One of the most important of left-over subject* is farm relief. Report* MfNarr Bill The senate agriculture committee has just reported a bill by Republican Floor Leader McNary. providing for both the equalization fee and the export debenture, and a bill by Senator Frazier 'Rep. N. D.> to liquidate and refinance agricultural indebtedness also ponding on the calendar. Senator Norris *Rep., Neb.l has offered the export debenture plan as a rider to the tax bill, but it will probably go down to defeat in the mrl-e over tariffs and taxes combined. I Although the Glass banking bill i* officially the unfinished business before the senate, nothing but an extension of the session can bring about its enactment. This bill “to I provide for the safer and more es- j f'•clive use of the asset* of fedeial reserve banks and of national banking associations, to regulate intarbank control, and to prevent undue diversion of funds into speculative op-rations.’’ was debated before the tav bill displaced it. The administration is anxious to ■ have its home loan bank bill passed before adjournment, the last of the emergency financial measures recommended to congress last winter by President Hoover. On the other hand, it is anxious to let the soldier bonus and the Goldsborough dollar stabilization bill, die of neglect. Important Bills Waiting The house has passed a Muscle Shoals bill which is on the senate calendar waiting action. It has, for the first time, passed a measure granting independence to the Philippine people, and that, too waits senate approval. In the senate's own realm of foreign affairs. United States entry j into the world court and recognition of Russia are the two most important pending matters. Judge James Wilkerson’s appointment to the circuit court of appeals has not yet been confirmed or rejected by the senate and a number of other appointments also await a-tion.

TODAY is a day of grief for Democratic leaders of the county. If it were customary, there would be a general donning of sackcloth and ashes accompanied by wailing in the circle—for Louis Ludlow, by voting against the O'Connor 2.75 per cent beer bill, has added a burden to the ticket this fall. ‘ How sharper than a serpers tooth It is to have a thankless child,” said the party spokesmen, who slated Ludlow and fiad to promise the workers that he would be a "wet,” in order to put him over in the primary. Now they have to carry the load for his dereliction. It la known that Ludlow was called on the long distance phone | by a Democratic leader here Monday morning before the roll call on the beer bill and told that it was his duty to the party to vote for measure. He was reminded that in the face of a probable overwhelming defeat in the primary, he declared for a referendum on prohibition and w*as warned that the majority of the voters in the Twelfth district are avowed wets, who feel that prosperity can be brought back through legalization of beer with higher alcohol content. This also would h-up relieve the problem of balancing the budget they declared. But Ludlow turned a deaf ear. 000 Perhaps he believed that his Republican opponent s stand on prohibition also wishy-washy, would help him this fall. It is known that one day William Henry Harrison, the G. O. P. nominee, declared that he would favor a referendum and on the next dav he went over to the AntiSaloon League headquarters to show that his legislative record proved him to be a dry. But what Ludlow has forgotten, is that one of the other two parties, j the Socialist and the Liberal are permitted under the statutes to file their candidates for congress, even at so late a date, and that this may be done. It is known that the Liberal party is considering circulating a peti- j tion to obtain the necessary 200‘ signers in order to place a wet can- 1 didate in the fle'.d: and the Socialist party, which meets in convention here next Saturday may decide to 1 do likewise. mma A nominee of either of these parties. of the character and reputation deemed necessary, can do a lot of damage in the November election and show both Ludlow and Harrison that a firm and intelligent e'and on a subject as important as prohibition will win the favor of the voters. Ludlow has been relying too heavily on his 1928 and 1930 majorities w hich put him far ah§ad of the held. He got the large votes because he is a past master of ballyhoo. But thousands of voters of Marion count' express the opinion that manufacture of beer and repeal of pro-

HERE IS A CHANCE TO ENJOY FINE COMEDY Molnar’s ‘The Good Fairy’ Is Beautifully Done by Frances Dale and Philip Brandon at Keith’s. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN LU is a perfectly goofy girl who is an usherette in a movie theater sand she suddenly becomes a “little glowworm" going around just doing good. You meet Lu. the little usherette with her little electric torch in Molnar s “The Good Fairy.” My tip to you is to take time out this week and go to Keith's and see Miss Frances Dale as Lu and Philip Brandon as Dr. Sporum. an elderly but poor attorney who comes under the spell of the goodness of the 'glow worm.” He learns that Lu has a heart so big but nobody to put it in. I have seen Miss Dale in many roles but she never has given a more impish or a more glorious performance than as Lu.

She actually sparkles through the entire role, never permitting it to drop for a single second. She certainly has caught the Molnar spirit. The result is a sparkling gem of acting. Brandon has to age considerably this week- and he does it splendidly. He makes the attorney

a pitiful character who always wanted to own "one of those pencil sharpeners" and a leather brief rase. And the good fairy. Lu. gives them all to him. but they start to vanish before he got much good out of them. His walk as well as his voice fits the character as a glove on the hand. His Dr. Sporum eas-

ily is the best thing he has done this season. The remainder of the cast is unusually effective, especially the worlt of Bob Fay as Konrad, and William Pollard as the head waiter. Idabclle Arnold. Johnnie Furman. James Leßoy and William Maloney are in the cast. The play has a clever trick ending. I wiil not give it away. Here is a lovely play, at times a wee bit wicked when Lu put* on her grand movie manners and tries to become a woman of the world. But Lu is a

hibition will fill the empty dinner pail, which is something that ballyhoo. no matter how skilful, can not accomplish. In explanation of his vote. Ludlow issued a long statement, which, after carefully reading. Eddie Ash. our veteran sports editor, says he will submit as an entry in The Times’ “Believe It or Not" contest.

good fairy and she admits it. Clever, I mighty ciever, is this play. I am going to give "The Good Fairy” the blue ribbon for this season. Never has Berkell give this city a finer or smarter play. It is the best buy of the week. See "The Good Fairy” at Keith's and be happy. nan ACROBATIC REVUE WINS REAL APPLAUSE If you *wk me, the outstanding act at the Lyric this week is B. and B. Harris Revue with Loretta Allen. Here are two splendidly developed men and the giri, Miss Alien, per- i mits the two men to hurl her over i the stage and when that is not happening she is twisting herself in al- j most unbelievable shapes. These three have a most difficult act but they do it so well that it looks as easy as falling off a log. Here is real merit and fine showmanship and these three deserve j to win. A novelty on the bill is Chelm St. Orr, who is armless but able to do everything with his feet. He is an expert rifle shot, using his feet for hands. He plays the drums perfectly and does other fine accomplishments regardless of his sad handicap. Movie picture players have to be more careful of their material than others because the public expects too much. Grant Withers is handicapped with a poor actor. He per- ! mits himself to be the foil to the soi called wise remarks of Eddie Moran. Sorry to say that the act just doesn't click and does not do jus- j i tice to Withers. i The Cole Brothers are in black- | face to put over a line of fast jokes and some melody. The audience liked them when I was present. Medley and Dupree go in for some rough hokum, with the phonograph bit being the best. The Three Yokoes have a bicycle act. The movie is “Scandal for Sale.” Now' at the Lyric. n n n Other theaters today offer: “Huddle.” at the Palace; “The Mouthpiece.” at the Apollo; "Attorney for the Defense.” at the Circle, and •The Rich Are Always With Us," at the Indiana. M M M Neighborhood theaters tonight offer: “Three Wise Girls” and "Common Law,” at the Mecca; “Two Kinds of Women." at the Tacoma; “Girl Crazy.” at the Emerson; “The Big Parade.” at the Garfield; “The Wiser Sex.” at the Daisy; "Men in Her Life.” at the Stratford; "Devil's Lottery.” at the Talbot: “Shopworn." at the Belmont, and “Forbidden," at the Tuxedo. nan LOOKING OVER A VERY OLD PLAY Hale Mac Keen does double duty as player-director in "The Importance of Being Earnest.” at the Civic theater this week. In addition to directing the play, he plays the part of Algernon Moncrieff, the “Bun-bury-ing” young aristocrat. The play is an often-revived ' comedy written by Oscar Wilde. It

Is a satire on the upper crust of English society in the gay From the time Algernon starts eating the cucumber sandwiches, which he has had his butler prepare especially for his aunt. Lady Bracknell (Margaret Winslow*, until the final curtain goes down in front of three loving couples, the production makes fun of the society which must have its tea at 5. Acting honors go to Hale Mac Keen, though his part is not so difficult as that of Reginald Garstang w'ho plays the role of John Worthing. His is the only part which has even a semblence of seriousness. Two actors with comparatively minor parts. Arthur J. Beriault as the Rev. Canon Chasuble. D. D., and Mary Sinclair as Miss Prism, are particularly good. Mary Sinclair is making her first apearance on the Civic stage. The three principal feminine parts. Margaret Winslow playing Lady Bracknell. Katherine Pantzer playing Hon. Gwendolyn Fairfax. Lady Bracknell’s daughter, and Lois Graham as Cecily Cardew\ are I delightfully played. You are sure to * like Cecily when she proves to 1 Algernon by her diary that she has been engaged to him since Febuary—or maybe it was January. Asa whole the play is a light comedy. Wilde has nothing to prove. He was just having fun when he wrote it. The program calls it “A 1 Frivolous Comedy,” and it is right, i (By Observer).

‘PROXY’ LIQUOR CASE PUZZLES U. S. OFFICIALS Youth Asks Sentence in Name of Ex-Employer, Tony Smello. Whether the government car. permit Caesar Serpin. 20. to plead guilty to liquor conspiracy and receive sentence in the name of his former employer, Tony Smello. puzzled federal officials today. Serpin appeared at the federal building lat Monday with his attorney. John A. Rovse, and announced he was the "Tony Smello” indicted in the Anderson liquor conspiracy case. Defendants in the Anderson case who pleaded guilty and other who were convicted were sentenced Monday morning. Serpin admitted he had driven a truck owned by Smello in connection with operation of the John Bronnenberg still, discovery of which led to an investigation resulting in the federal indictment. However, he said, at the suggestion of his employer. Smello. he used the name "Tony Smello.” Forfeiture of the “Smello'' bond, ordered when the youth failed to appear for arraignment Monday morning, was set aside by the court when Serpin said he looked in the courtroom, saw the session had started and was afraid to enter. Instead. he said, he went to Royse's office and awaited arrival of the attorney. Federal officials decided today to permit Serpin, alias Smello, to enter a plea before Baltzell Wednesday morning. The youth was arrested in Danville, 111., w’ith a truck load of liquor and served five months in jail, before being ordered removed here.
