BIG STORY TOLD IN
HAS THE WORLD GONE MAD p

Daniel Carson Goodman, fam
Gus feminist, author and motion
picture producer, gives a vivid pic
ture of decadent society in the
drama of modern life, HAS the
World Gone Mad" which will be
shown at the Rylander theater on
Wednesday.
Mr.. Goodmman's latest contribu-
ton to the screen goes far beyond
the little group of colorful char
acters with whom he tells his story.
He makes of his production a hu-
man canvas upon which he paints
in bold and vivid strokes his pic
ture of life today-life in great
cities and small-life in the low
places and life in the high.
The producer lashes forth with
blows like the Hammers of Thor
and delivers a slashing attack upon
the foibles and whims of modern
men and women. The mother and
wife who at forty, undergoes the
tortures of face-lifting i'm order
to have one last fling at romance;
the husband and father who at the
same mellow age goes forth to WOO
another woman; the son who packs
a flask in his hip pocket and skirts
the rim of many pitfalls, and the
daughter, who smokes and applies
tweezers to her eyebrows-all are
given scathing rebuke in Has
the World Gone Mad?"
In the cast of this production are
Charles Richman, Robert Edeson,
Mary Alden, hedda Hopper and
Elinor Fair.
In addition to HAS the World
Gone Mad?" the Rylander will pre-
sent the latest edition of Pathe
News.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, June 5
-(By Associated Press) THE

JACK HOLT A
FIGHTING PARSON.

Jack Holt has the unusual role
of a fighting Parson in his latest
Paramount picture, "While Satan
Sleeps" which comes to the Opera
House tomorrow. He is not ac-
tually a parson in the story, for
he only assumes that disguise in
order to safely spy out a little
town which he and his pal plan to
rob. But even at that, there is
no disguise in the way he fights,
especially when a dying girl shows
him the error of his ways and an
other beautiful girl proves to him
that she loves him for the man
he appears to be. Then he fights
not only his enemies, but wages a
terrific battle for the regeneration
of his own soul. Which is all by
way of saying that the picture is
one long punch from beginning to
end, and that it teens with heart
interest. FRITZ Burnette plays op-
posite the star.

CHICAGO, Aug. ga number
CT scientific discoveries were made
by DIR. Wilfred H. Osgood. chief
curator Of zoology of the Field
Museum of Natural History, when
he journeyed through the southern
half Of South America recently.
The curator traversed practically
the same territory which Darwin
Travelled almost a century ago, and
he is the first man to obtain du-
plicate specimens Of the animals
which the Victorian scientist took
to Great Britain on his return.
More than 1000 specimens were
obtained by the field expedition,
according to DR.. Osgood. He said
that one Of the important finds is
the tiny marsupial, which is an en-
tirely new genus OF the mammal
family. 1t has not yet received a
scientific name.
The expedition which DR.. Osgood
accompanied. spent most of its
time on Chloe island, off the
coast Of Chile.
Interested In Dry Law.
"The northern half Of this island
Is densely populated and civilized, y
DIR. Osgood explained, while the
southern half is uninhabited."
The DOCTOR exhibited a number of
skins and stuffed specimens which
he brought back with him.
Among them was the pelt OF
Brazilian red wolf and five arma.
dillOs. which he trapped
A tiny Darwinian toad which he
had kept was found to be carrying
q number OF It's young in its
| mouth, the regular hiding place in
time Of danger.
The doctor was asked about the
people he and his party came in
contact with while on their recent
tour.
"They are Interested in our pro

they pop at an American is, Ley

"elder statesmen" numbering only
eight, hold the chairmanships of
seven committees, five of them very
important. The chairmanships are
held by Lodge of Massachusetts,, on
the Foreign Relations Committee;
Mclean of Connecticut, on the
Banking and Currency Committee;
Colt of Rhode Island, on the Inn
migration Committee; Brandegee of
Connecticut, on the Judiciary Com
mittee; Hale of Maine, on the Naval
Affairs Commute; Fernald of Maine,
on the Public Buildings Committee,
and Moses of New Hampshire, on
the Printing Committee.
AS the Senate only has about
thirty committees all told, Western
and seaboard statesmen are con-
tending too much power Is center
ed in New England's delegation.
They point further to the fact that
the "elder statesmen" had two OF
more of their numbers on foreign
committees last session. including
the powerful Foreign Relations, FL
nance, Judiciary and Appropriations
committees.
Strong Grip On House.
In the House, Speaker Giliett
not only rules with an iron hand,
but three big committee chairman
ships also are held by New Eng
landers. These are: Education Com
mittee by Congressman Da1linger of
Massachusetts,, Merchant Marine
Committee by Congressman Greene
of Massachusetts,, and Interstate
and Foreign Commerce Committee
by Congressman Winslow of Mas
sachusetts. Scores of New England
Congressman hold high posts on
other important, committees.
Western Republican chieftains will
concentrate their revolt on forcing
several Of the New England lead
ers to step aside "for the good of
the party" They hope particularly
to elect one of their own number
as Republican leader of the next
Senate to succeed Lodge. To be
successful, however, they must OBJ
tain Lodges consent for the Mass
achusetts Senator has enough po-
litical strength to overthrow all
assaults.
Greater representation on Senate
committees will be a more simple
goal and the possibility of an in
creased allotment of chairmanships
may result from the revolt. At the
same time, Eastern representation
is at it's lowest ebb. The passing
of Penrose and Knox has left Sena-
tor Wadsworth Of New York, alone
among the Eastern Republicans in
a high Senate position. If the re-
volt brings about complete reor-
ganization of legislative power,
Eastern leaders may share with
Westerners in breaking down the
Arule of New England's "elder states
men,"
