HOOVER SCOFFS AT ROOSEVELT THRIFT CLAIMS Appropriations Are Already Down Billion for Next Fiscal Year, Says G. 0. P. BY MARSHALL M’NEIL Timet Staff Writer WASHINGTON. Oct. 24.—President Hoover'S promised 51,500,000,000 reduction in federal appropriations for the next fiscal year, as compared with 1932, already has been two-thirds accomplished, according to the figures of his own partisan, Chairman Werley L. Jones of the senate appropriations committee. And most, of the remaining third can be lopped off by refusing to continue the $322,000,000 emergency construction work, which the President opposed. Thus, on the face of Senator Jones’ figures, the approprations bills of this fiscal year virtually might be re-enacted for the next fiscal year, and Hoover’s promised $1,500,000,000 practically would be accomplished. % ’ Scoffs at Roosevelt Claim The President, who made this pledge at Detroit, scoffed at the claims of his opponent, Governor Frankin D. Roosevelt, and the Democratic party, that they would not cut expenditures by 25 per cent. This reduction of approximately a billion dollars more would involve, the President argued, cutting down expenditures for national defense, which he opposes, extinguishing half the lighthouses and turning half the federal prisoners loose on the public. It also would involve stopping public works, and greatly reducing the appropriations for relief of World war veterans. Calis Promises Rash "That would be a gross injustice,” Hoover said. ‘‘But that is where rash promises inevitably will lead.” Senator Jones, in a statement published in the Congressional Record, has showed that with the co-operation of the Democratic house of representatives, appropriations for this fiscal year’ of 1933 already had been reduced by more than a billion dollars, w'hen compared with 1932. This latter year is the same one upon which Hoover had promised to make his reduction. PENNSY EMPLOYE FOR THIRTY YEARS IS DEAD Funeral Services for James J. Lanham Will Be Held Tuesday.

FEAR CAUSES INJURY Women, 60, Seeks to Avoid Cat, Suffers Broken Arm. Fear of cats caused Mrs. Elizabeth Falherty, 60, of 1705 North Tacoma avenue, to suffer a fracture of the right arm, Sunday night.

Sadie of ‘Rain’ Doesn’t Go Across on Screen First of the Radio Stars Cast on the Talking Screen May Be Seen and Heard in ‘The Big Broadcast/ BY WALTER D. HICKMAN IAM positive now that Somerset Maugham’s Sadie Thompson is for the the stage' and not the screen. Aft*?r seeing Gloria Swanson as Sadie and the ‘compromising” colorless performance of Joan Crawford as this same gal, I am positive that Hollywood rules prevents the original conception of Sadie ever coming to life on the screen. Sadie, that is “Rain,” just can not be cleaned up and made Pollyana entertainment. "Rain” is adult entertainment and its theme and character movements can not be played down to juvenile audiences without becoming silly and unconvincing. That is just what the latest
“Rain”, is—not Sadie Thompson at all nor is it Maugham. If I want mince pie, I want mince and not apple. When I want to see "Rain." I want Maugham’s drama and not a weak Hollywood studio adaptation. Just any screen actress can not play Sadie. It takes a genius and only one has ever played it as' far as I am concerned and that was the late Jeanne Eagles. Miss Crawford has not the physical characteristics (you may disagree with me and that’s fine)
as Sadie and she does not have the independent mental conception of the role. Sadie is gutter, but she is a tremendous individual. She is branded- for life as a member of society, but she does change her mental conception. In that lies her great triumph and her greatest failure — a return to the
Joan Crawford
real and former Sadie. When the minister, the Rev. Davidson, becomes flesh instead of spiritual (in all of his narrowness), men become just more just “swine.” Sadie is not the role for Joan Crawford. And as I study the work of Walter Huston as the Rev. Davidson (in this version a reformer instead of a missionary), I am sure that Davidson is not HuSton’s type of role or the Hollywood direction deprived the actor of taking advantage of the role. The outstanding pieces of acting are contributed by Guy Kibbee and Beulah Bondi as Mrs. Davidson and at that Hollywood has restricted the character as played by Miss Bondi. From a scenic standpoint, “Rain” is a masterpiece, but that is all that is a success in this version. Be your own judge as usual. You know that I am disappointed with the way Hollywood has handled this big play twice. Now at the Palace. u St tt “SIX HOURS TO LIVE” IS MIGHTY FINE THEATER Sometimes when I rate a picture as “a must picture” occasionally I get myself in all kinds of trouble. Am going to rate “Six Hours to Live” as one of the must pictures of the week because it is intriguing and intelligent theater. For once
in my life I find no fault with the acting of Warner Baxter. As Paul Onslow, a diplomat to a great international peace treaty conference, Baxter gives an all-round c h a r a c terization. As the only diplomat holding out against the treaty and his vote is needed to put the treaty into effect, Onslow is a doomed man. He is mur-
Jhb
dered in a bedroom of his host at dinner. Then an eccentric scientist, played so individually by George Marion, applies a life ray to Onslow and he is brought back to live only for six hours. That gives him just time to vote against the treaty and to haunt his murderer whom he faces before the power of the ray leaves his body to return him again to the status of being a corpse. And

does Baxter take advantage of the possibilities of such a role? He does every second. I will always remember Baxter as the "living corpse.” Watch the work of the leading woman, Marian Jordan, a newcomer to the screen. You will like her. Photography, sound and direction —all just right. I know you will like this one. Now at the Apollo. a a a HOLLYWOOD IS RIGHT WITH FRANCIS AND POWELL Hollywood of course isn’t wrong all the time. It is right this time with William Powell and Kay Francis in "One Way Passage.” Here is a touching story of a man (Powell) and a woman (Kay Francis), who do not have the right to
love. The law' has decreed that the man has a debt to pay, meaning a sojourn in prison. The woman is a modern who falls for the extreme unconvention a 1 - ism of the man. A great love and an underst anding springs up between the tT.U. The man knowing the futility of this experienced and
the woman hoping with great faith that tomorrow will make her dream come true. But an illness brings death nearer and nearer to the woman as she experiences real love for the first time. When they complete drinking champagne toasts to each other they break the glasses over the bar. This gives a great comedy moment to the story and also furnishes an ending which will cause everybody to have their own idea. It is a sort of a “Smilin’ Through” ending idea, but tremendously effective as well as beautiful. “One Way Passage” has been done in tremendously fine taste as to theme, acting and settings. It is very near the last word in this sort of theater. And the two featured players are more than adequate, they are splendid. Here is a smart experience in the theater as far as I am concerned. I do hope you will like this one. It may not be your taste in theater, but take a taste of it anyway. On the stage are the outstanding air entertainers at WKBF presenting “The WKBF Radio Revue.” These are our people whom we all know such aa Connie and his band, Harry Bason, Vaughn Cornish, Mood Indigo trio, Vaughn Gamon, De Vore sisters and others.

TOSS GUNS OUT OF AUTO i HELO FOR ROBBERIES Trio to Be Questioned in Recent Holdups; Bandits Busy in City. After they are alleged to have tossed two revolvers from their automobile as police approached, three men were arrested on charges of carrying concealed weapons, and were to be questioned today in connection with recent robberies. They are Thurman Penley, 23, Bowing Green, Ky.; Carl Harvey, 22, St. Louis, Mo„ and Eugene Elliott, R. R. 10 Box 333.' The arrests were made at Kenmore road and Lowell avenue. Bandits and footpads, reesponsible for several week-end robberies, I are sought by police. ' After alighting from a bus near her home late Sunday night. Miss Doris Grimes, 5116 East Eleventh street, was robbed of $lO, police were told. A Negro bandit slugged and robbed Thomas Poulter, 33, of 1726 North Capitol avenue, of sl3 at Udell street and Northwestern avenue, early today. Theatened by an armed bandit early today at College avenue and Fifty-third street, Miss Irene Leonard, 23. of 5252 Central avenue, told police she was robbed of a purse and $6. Two Negro bandits fired several revolver shots at Earl Smith, 28, of 619 Russell avenue, taxi driver, in the 900 block East Twenty-fourth street early today after Smith seized a hammer on the floor of the cab in resnonse to a command to hand over his money. - ’em up with sure-fire movie names and place them all in the same movie. That is what you will find in “The Big Broadcast,” which has the radio services of Kate Smith, the Mills Brothers, Bing Crosby (who turns out to be a most promising movie actor); Burns and Allen, Boswelll Sisters, Donald Novis, Cab Calloway and his hot band and Arthur Tracy. The movie big names are splendidly represented by Stuart Erwin and Leila Hyams. The radio names both as individuals and groups do the things along musical lines for which they are famous. But you will get a big kick out of the comedy suicide attempts of Crosby and Erwin. Here is comedy that is new and effective. It is a wow. The director has wisely kept the radio activities of the air names as a part of the story and this movie never becomes a personal radio appearance stunt after a confusing beginning. “The Big Broadcast” is refreshing entertainment and it is important, because it may happen that the “stewed” Erwin and the egotiscal Bing Crosby might become a comedy team on the screen. Here is refreshing entertainment. To me it is a joy. Now at the Circle* Tonight at English’s, Donald Brian opens a week’s engagement in “The Merry Widow.” Other theaters tonight offer: Hobart Bosworth at the Lyric, and Earl Newport’s at the Fountain Square.

CHEESE SNIFFER WINSBY NOSE Unusual Event Pictured in Times-Universal Reel. D, M. Smith, an undergraduate of college, just has won the title of “cheese smelling champion” of the United States and Canada, as a result of his keenness in evaluating cheese, milk, butter and ice cream in a national dairy products judging contest held at the Dairies Industries Exposition in Detroit. Interesting scenes of this contest and of the contestants, including teams from eighteen different colleges, are shown in the current issue of The Indianapolis Times-Uni-versal newsreel. Graham McNamee, ace radio announcer and the screen’s talking reporter, describes the contest in his inimitable whimsical vein. An amazing development in musical art, by which complete brainimages are reproduced on the screen accompanying a full 150-piece orchestra, is presented exclusively in this newsreel. It is the invention of a Berlin professor and is expected to be of far-reaching importance in the visualization of musical themes. McNamee also rcoprts many other important and interesting events, including a fifty-six-mile rollerskate marathon in Colorado; a stirring naval war game showing United States sea forces in action; the feverish activity of the French champagne makers, who believe they see an end to prohibition in America, and interesting preThanksgiving activities at one of the country’s largest turkey ranches.

PESSIMISM IS WORLD PERIL, SAYS POINCARE France’s ‘Grand Old Man’ Says He Never Can Return to Power. (Copyright, 1932. by United Press) PARIS, Oct. 24.—Warning the world against pessimism in the face of the present * crisis. Raymond Poincare, grand oid man of French politics, reiterated his belief in the present French government’s policies in an exclusive interview. The 72-year-old wartime premier has just returned from his retreat at Sampigny in Lorraine, where last Sunday he was re-elected to the senate. Rather than take his seat in the senate, he said he intends to start for the Riviera in mid-November, where he will spend the entire winter, returning to Sampigny in the spring. Once the greatest figure on Europe’s political horizon, obliged as wartime president to master such bitter animosities as those which separated Clemenceau, Foch and Joffre, Poincare has lost little of his dash and vigor. While Poincare is mentally alert and follows international affairs from day to day, he said that it is physically impossible for him to “even dream of returning to power. ’ His general condition is good, but

his recovery from the partial paralysis that followed an operation has been slow . The former president will spend the remaining days of his life completing his autobiography, the ninth volume of wnicn was published this week, bringing the work down to 1917. “Several days ago,” Poincare said, ’“I received a visit from M. Herriot. I told him firmly that I approve of his foreign policies. I have received many visitors who lament the turn world affairs have taken, btit my constant reply is that we mustn't be pessimists, for pessimism leads to anxiety which would be bad for the world today.” DEGREES TO BE GIVEN City I.

PRICE-SLASHING OIL WARMS Cabinet Members Campaign; No Time to Parley. By Bcripps-Hotcard Xe\£spapcr Allianct WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.—Campaign activities of three cabinet members in behalf of President Herbert Hoover apparently have taken precedence over a demand from independent oil interests of Texas and Oklahoma, for a conference with the federal oil conservation board over a threatened price-cutting war in the mid-continent field. Carl Estes, editor of a newspaper in Tyler. Texas, has wired an urgent request to the board for a hearing, charging that unless immediate steps are taken to avert the predicted assault on prices, crude will be selling for 25 cents a barrel again in the east Texas field before Christmas. Warnings of the predicted pricewar first were uttered by Carl Magee, editor of the Oklahoma News.
