CRITIC ADMITS He
LIkESFILM HOKUM
~Jungmeyer Finds Fun In
Hamilton Movie.
By JACK JUNGMEYER
NEA SerUice Writer


HOLLYWOOD, July 5.-"The Self
Made Failure" featuring Lloyd Ham
ilton and Ben Alexander, is a cola
ton Of most Of the old gags and
hoary hokum at which folks have
laughed since pictures first began to
move.
But after some of the high meat
and rare CONNECTIONS we've been
served lately by solemn screen chefs,
this o-ld-fashioned hash concocted by
J. K. Mcdonald, producer, is most
toothsome.
The comedy, first to give Lloyd
Hamilton seven reels Of l~udicrous
leeway, toys with hick-town melo-
drama based on mistaken identity.
Hamilton is a sentimental, whimsical
tramp into whose keeping a dying
crony has placed his son, Ben
Alexander.
The tramp is accepted by the
manager Of a sulphur springs resort
as a long-expected masseur upon
whom further patronage depends.
He and his ward become person
ages in the town, stumble into guilty
secrets of the hotel proprietor who
has robbed a poor old lady of her
property, and blunder TO happiness
for all who deserve it, including
themselves, after some -threescore
hearty laughs counted at a pre-
view.
just d Dog
Part Of the burden Of %retribution
upon villainy falls to the dog, Cameo,
a splendid runner in the chores Of
righteousness.
All the stock characters of home
spun comedy are on hand to help
or hinder the worthy but ragged
hero in his commendable endeavors-
a nice old grandma, a poet, a sweet,
innocent girl. the town constable. a
tough customer, the sinister
schemer, the beauteous siren.
Nothing highbrow here to choke
back a fellows risibles.
Just plain hokum. predigested.

And if there are in Hollywood a

are presented in The Self-Made

LITTLE WREATH IT W|THERED FLOWERS
 KING TUT'S TOMB

LUXOR, Egypt, Feb. 14.-A little crown of withered flowers encircled the golden headdress of King Tut ankh-Amen, when his tomb was open ed Tuesday by Howard Carter, explor CT and Egyptologist. It is said the mummy case enclosing the remains ol the former Pharoah was about three yards long, and bore the effigy of the king, wearing a golden headdress like that of Sphinx, decorated with a serpent and hawks head of beaten gold. The hands were crossed, one bearing a golden sceptre and the oth- CT a golden frail.
 MT. Carter today stated that work was stopped on the excavation and the tomb recovered because the Egyptian government was harassing his work in every manner possible. A recent law passed by the Egyptian govern ment prohibits the removal of any mummied remains of any antiques un- covered by explorers, which will cause much work in ancient ruins to be abandoned.

COOLIDGE: ASKS FOR FACTS ON LEASING
 TIE TEAPOT DOME
EXPERT INQUIRY INTO WISDOM OF THE FALL OIL LEASE
 SOUGHT BY COOLIDGE
4 PROPOSAL BY D0HENY
Says He Would Cancel His Oil Lease On Certain Conditions-Gov't
 Must Reimburse

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 13.-An order by President Coolidge for an ex- pert inquiry into the wisdom of the Fall oil leasing policy was followed today by an offer of E. L. Doheny to cancel conditionally his lease to the oil reserve in California.
 The government would be called upon, however, to reimburse the Pan-American Petroleum and Trans port Company for it's actual expendi- ture under the contract.
 This is modification of Doheny's original offer to cancel if a board of experts decided that the contracts were not advantageous to the gov ernment.
 MT. Doheny's offer was made by his counsel, Gavin McNabb, but no immediate action was taken on it.
 The president asked the depart ment to furnish him at the earliest possible moment a report on the ques- tion of whether the leases protect the interests of the government This in quiry is separate from the instruc- tions given the department of justice which is studying the evidence to de, termine whether there has been proof of fraud, but both actions are direct ed toward the same end. The purpose is to ascertain definitely whether the leases should be cancelled.
 Public Statement Likely.
 Mr. Coolidge may make a public statement of the governments in ! tentions, both as to criminal anC civil proceedings, as soon as the de partmental investigations are con cluded and as soon as MT. Fall ha: been given an opportunity to presen his side of the matter to the senate committee.
 The president believes the evidenc, produced before the committee is to- srious to warrant much delay in delin eating the governments course. II, does not think it should be postponeC unt:l the committee makes it's report The disclosures before the senat committee were talked over by tn president today with John I. Adams chairman of the republican commit tee MT. Adams declined to discus the nature of the confei ence, but ind cated that his views on the matter ha ben set forth in an editorial appear ing in the current number of the N tional Republican, which says: The disclosures in the Fall cas are in a sense discreditable to tn United States senate and to tn } Harding administration for Senate Fall was a member of both. They d not, however, involve the integrity c the senate or the Harding administrs tion as whole.
