Four Hollywood Stars Are in -Three on a Match’ Joan Blondell, Ann Dvorak, Bette Davis and Warren Williams Show What Fate May Do to People. FOUR of Hollywood’s most popular stars are brought together in “Three On a Match,” which opens at the Indiana theater Friday for a week’s engagement. Joan Blondell, Ann Dvorak and Bette Davis portray the leading feminine roles while Warren Williams is seen in the leading male part. The story, “Three On a Match,” concerns the lives of three girls who part after they graduate from grade school only to meet some years later. In that time Fate had played some queer tricks. One of the girls has become the wife of a wealthy and influential lawyer, another a hard-working stenographer, and the third is a hoyden-

Ish blonde, who has become a graduate of the reform school and a wisecracking show-girl. The skein of their lives becomes entangled to produce some startling dramatic situations that are said to be unique in screen story material. “Three On a Match” is a First National picture and was directed by Mervyn Leßoy who made “Little Caesar,” “Five Star Final,” and ?‘Two Seconds.” Added attractions next week will include “Rambling Round Radio .Row” with Kate Smith, Boswell Sisters, Colonel Stoopnagel and Bud, and Abe, Lyman and his band. “Tit-Tat-Toe" is the name of a short subject featuring Hal Leßoy and Mitzi Mayfair. . Dessa Byrd will present an organ lK)lo titled “Okay, Audience,” and will feature Basil Hobbs, the singing usher.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.—Mast women feel that they’re putting their best foot foremast when they wear trim, light-looking, dressy shoes. Especially if their feet aren’t Cinderella size in the beginning. (And how many feet are?) This year’s dressier shoes, moreover, seem to have learned the knack of making feet look prettier and smaller than ever. It’s partly the trim-lined styles and partly the fine stitchings and pipings. Sven when two leathers are used, the sections are put together so smoothly that there’s not the least suggestion of bulk. Even oxfords can be very light and dressy. We’ve watched them firmly tapping down the street with fur-trimmed coats or dressmaker suits.

With higher cut. snug-to-the-foot lines, and slim high heels, they often can take the place of those popular relations of theirs, the pumps. Os course you still hear plenty of women saying, “There's nothing like a pump to go v/ith practically everything. I always have at least one pair.” Those pumps now are likely to be built up in front, as the center shoe in the sketch shows. And sometimes they’re gored. With Louis heels ... or the smart highlow type, if the Louis ones are a little too steep for you. Open Shank Pumps With afternoon clothes, you see many open shank strap pumps. That is, deeply cut through the instep, like the shoe at the bottom of the sketch. Most of these dressier shoes are in kid. And there’s a good, practical reason behind that. For kid isn’t hurt by the rubbing of galoshes in the winter time. Kid-and-suede or kid-and-patent combinations are stepping along too. (The strap style sketched could be either.) What Shoe Materials? Os course some women will have nothing but suede with their velvet afternoon frocks. Usually in pump style. And, after all, that’s the way to decide ... by the dresses you’ll wear your shoes with.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

HOOVER CAREER SIFTED; IS HE MAN jOR JOB? Famed Educator Contends Answer Lies in Past Life of President. This is the first of three articles bv Harrv Elmer Barnes Ph. D famed educator. on the writings relative to President Hoover's oast and on the bearing of such facts on his fitness for the presidency. BY HARRY ELMER BARNES President Hoover's reference to the attacks upon his career before 1914 in his Cleveland speech and the appearance of Colonel Edwin Emerson's interesting book, "Hoover and His Times,” bring up in timely and cogent fashion the whole matter of Hoover’s career in relation to his fitness for the presidency. . One of the worst features of our presidential campaigns is the deplorable tendency to resort to scan-dal-mongering and to the interjection of irrelevant personal issues designed to stir emotions, impede cerebration and divert attention from the real issues before the electorate. I shall be concerned here only with the facts in regard to Mr. Hoover's professional past which have some real bearing upon his preparation for the presidency. The mud slinging to and fro may be left to those interested in such recreation. * Should Be Major Problem There certainly is nothing evep approaching scandal-mongering or “hitting below the belt” in examining the career of a candidate for presidency to discover his fitness for this high office. Indeed, this should be one of the major problems and activities in any presidential campaign. ' The essential thing is to see to it that the investigation is limited to those items which really have some direct and obvious bearing on his preparation for public life and on the claims made for him by his friends. I Mr. Hoover’s activities before 1914 are most certainly an issue in this campaign. To discover how a man behaved when acting on his own initiative is the best possible path to understanding his real ideals, motives, and. conduct. When a man is performing for the press gallery with his eye on a political plum, he is not likely to reveal very much of his real personality. We need not go as far in this case as the psychiatrists, who hold that the childhood of a person is more important in giving us insight into his career than the remaining years of his life. But it scarcely can be denied that Hoover’s life from Leland Stanford to Belgium reveals the true Hoover. Shaped by 1914 His personality and ideals certainly were fully shaped by 1914. Had his professional past been carefully examined before 1928, we would have been spared much. We would have expected less of Hoover and would have been far less disillusioned as a result of his administration. Probably the greatest mistake of the 1928 campaign, both in the Republican primaries and in the party struggle after nominations, was the failure to look searchingly into Hoover’s career, though relentlessly suppressing the temptation to uncover an iota of personal scandal. The Hoover myth was built around certain specific assertions relative to his career before 1920, and especially before 1914. The essential items were: (1) that he was an Elaborately trained and highly competent mining engineer; (2) that his career prior to 1914 was the record of a great technical expert in the mining field; (3) that his life and work proved him to be a devoted social engineer as well—that he was one of those promising men interested in reconstructing society from the point of view of the technician, rather than the capitalistic profit-seeker; (4) that he was pre-eminently a sensitive humanitarian. bowed beneath the trials and sufferings of his fellow-men; (5) that he had a unique talent and preparation for the tasks and re-

sponsibilities of statesmanship, including even the presidency of the United States. These are the issues of real relevance, and the only ones with which I am at all concerned here. Just what bearing have the books which have been devoted to Hoover’s professional past on the major points in the Hoover myth and on the basic contentions of his supporters?

mended the position taken in the far east ‘‘whereby the pact of Paris received its first official implementing by establishment of the Hoover doctrine of non-recognition of any settlements arising out of violation of the pact,” and also commended the Hoover messages sent to the disarmament conference at Geneva. These last were described as opening the way for definite action on principles practically agreed upon and furnishing the basis for discussion and agreement on both quantitative and qualitative disarmament.
