For those who like u bit OF the un-

The Uninvited Guest" which opened
yesterday at Loew's Columbia. will
not disappoint. The picture is q Ralph
1nce production. and combines a
thrilling tale of adventure and ro-
nance with initiation into the won
ders of life under the sea Some of
the scenes are taken also with the
technicolor process, which adds much
to their beauty.
The story concerns the adventures
of q girl, shipwrecked in the South

Crandall' His Darker
Self #"

"His Darker Self" featuring Lloyd
Hamilton in his first full-length COM
edy, is being presented at Cranda1l's
the first half of this week. A Mack
Sennett farce, "One Spooky Night"
featuring the full roster of Sennett
comedians and beauties, also is be-
ing shown.
There is plenty of action every
minute in His Darker Self" and
there is laughter all the way through.
1t relates the story of a young man
who dons disguise to bring to JUS
tice murderer for a crime Of which
another and innocent family servant
has been convicted. This picture was
to be the first screen vehicle for Al
Jo1son and directed by u. w. Grif-
fifth, but Jolson suddenly left for
Europe, leaving the producers with
out star. Mr.. Hamilton was placed
in the starring role. Tom Wilson,
Lucille La Verne, Tom O'Malley,
Kate Bruce, Irma Harrison and 9TH
ers are in roles OF Importance.
Beginning Thursday and contin-
uing through Saturday, 'Daddies'
will be shown.

It is to Novarro, however, that the
chief honors go. His acting is inspi-
rational, especially in the big scenes
when he incites the people to defend
themselves against the aristocracy.
Lewis Stone as the marquis is, as
always. finely efficient and both he
and Novarro do some splendid bits
of swordplay. Alice Terry's role does
not call for much in the way of act
ing. but she adds much to the beauty
of the picture, the tiny waist and
bouffant skirts Of the period being
most becoming.
Ingram has built his story skill
fully, carrying the suspense through

White Plains, N. Y, May ?s.-- Clarence Barring, awaiting trial June on charge of attempting to poison his wife, Mrs. Sarah Barring, was re- leased from the Westchester county jail late yesterday on $25,000 cash bail which he supplied himself. He had been held in jail almost a month.
 "I am confident of success at my trial" Barring told reporters as he left the jail accompanied by his counsel, who admonished him not to discuss the case. Barring said, how ever, that he would remain in New York under an assumed name until his case was called.

WHAT'S GOING ON
 .N THE WORLD -
By CHARLES r. STEWART
 NEA Service Writer

Political advance agents are arriv- ing in Cleveland for the republican convention.
 It looks like only four-day affair, which Clevelanders don't like. They want week of it. However, there isn't any good excuse for stringing it out. Nothing less than a miracle can interfere with Coolidge's nomination. The vice presidential choice will be a westerner, to please the farmers. It's likely hell be quite progressive, but the platform won't be.
 This will enrage the insurgents. They may quit and name their own ticket. Even this won't delay the regular convention much.

S5 PER CENT

Probably the main reason why the administration dislikes the bill is that its own tax plan was turned down in congress, and the democrats and in surgents fixed up the present one. Generally speaking, it grants lower taxes to poor people than the admin istration proposed, and doesn't reduce rich peoples taxes so much. The av- craze mans income tax is trimmed 25 per cent. This means, if he start ed to pay it in four installments this year, as the majority did. that he won't have the last installment to pay.

TAXES

Many predictions have been made that the president would veto also the tax bill. already passed by the senate and just about to be voted on in the house. But this is unlikely. Congress almost certainly would pass it over his veto if he did, like the bonus bill. To have his veto overridden twice in

Besides, it appears the present tax bill will give the government enough money to run on and a little over, though the president and Secretary Mellon said they didn't think it would mot if the bonus passed. Senator Reed Shoot, who knows more about taxes than anybody, declares the con- ,trary. He explains the government will have about $2,o00,Oo0 left above expenses, even after paying the bonus.
