NORTH SIDERS BACK PLAN TO DREDGE CREEK Support for Project Voted at Meeting Held in Marott. Support for the project to seek federal funds for dredging and cleaning Fall creek was voted last night at a meeting of north side residents in the Marott. The group heard George Q Bruce, president of the North Side Civic federation, which recently adopted a resolution favoring the plan, and went on record as wishing to cooperate with the federation. Mr. Bruce said that the cost of the creek work would be approximately $41,000 if the state would provide the dredge and the city provide trees and shrubbery for planting along the banks.

The Theatrical World ‘Murder at the Vanities’ Sure Cure for That Fed-Up Feeling on Movies BY WALTER I). HICKMAN

TF you say that you arc fed up on musical movies I can suggest a sure cure. The cure is Earl Carroll's Vanities, movie edition, which will open tomorrow at the Circle under the title of ‘Murder at the Vanities.” I know that I was getting enough of this type of entertainment, but after the preview I left the studio yelling in favor of this one. When Carroll staged this Vanities on Broadway in a legitimate MERCURY 72 BELOW: BYRD AWAITS WINTER | _—— Antarctic Expedition Tunnels In for Long Cold Spell. LITTLE AMERICA. Antarctica, i May 22.

! theater he had a murder mystery I story woven in and around all of ' his production numbers. A mysterious woman is murdered i in the loft of the theater stage ! just as the curtain goes up on the first night of the Vanities. The wardrobe mistress, the leading man and Rita Ross, a jealous blues singer, are suspected. Before ! the curtain goes down on the final ; number, not only the first murder but a second one is solved. That. I contend, is something new for a musical movie. The cast con- ! tains legitimate and movie nanj.es such as Carl Brisson, European singer; Victor McLaglen, Jack Oakie, Kitty Carlisle, Dorothy Stickney, Donald Meek and many others. Paramount brought Carroll to Hollywood to supervise the screen | production. He brought eleven of his prize Broadway Vanities beauI ties and he selected seven Hollywood girls to dance with them. Duke Ellington and his noted bank furnish one of the hit num- ! bers of the movie. Carl Brisson looks more likaf a prizefighter than a matinee idol. But he has the needed looks and he knows how to sing. His voice records splendidly. He was born in Copenhagen, Denmark. Up to “Murder at the
