ITALIAN CRITICS LIKE COMEDIES
Praise American Laugh Pro.
 duCin8 Films

Rome, June l2 R)-The work of American moving picture comedians Is creating new comic tradition comparable in excellence only with that launched by the famous Venc- tian art theater of the 18th century, according to Italian cinematograph critics.
 An underlying similarity, the cri- ties say, is that each moving pie ture comedian maintains his parti- cular personality and stage business in all of his pictures, instead of adapting himself to the stories which are being filmed. Thus Charlie Chaplin Is algays Charlie Chaplin whether he be tramp or millionaire.
 Just as the centuries have multi piled the Colonbines, Pierrots and Harlequins of the Venetian theater, so they will multiply the Chapains, the Harold LIoyds and the Larry Semons who eventually will evolve into constant types,
 It is pointed out that the Ameri- can comic films, far from being con temptible from the point of view of art, have much in common with the great works of the humorous mas ters from Aristophanes until our day, particularly in their use of the grotesquc and of formalized plots. The one outstanding difference, it is said, is that the American movies in- sist upon pointing moral and upon having happy endings.
 One critic rhapsodizes that the American films have created types which symbolize marvellously cer- tain grotesaue and humorous aspects of humanity.

ANCIENT HATS IN
 OLD SPANISH MINE
Evidence Found That Padres Of
 Tore Owned Rich Veins

Yaso, Nayarit, Mexico. June 12 R) Tn the famous old Cucaracba (cockroach) mine near here recent " rediscovefed after being hidden Tor century and q quarter miners are bringing up evidences of the spanish padres who once owned these approaches to rich veins of gold.
 One of the discoveries was q large felt hat, in remarkable state of preservation. IL resembles pictures of the headgear worn by Friar Tuck of nursery fable fame. It has q very broad and tloppy brim and was made of fine grade of thick hair felt. coored brown. Despite ns burial for more than 125 years. its fibers still are strong and appear equal to any used in modern hats.
 The workmen have found also portions Of blankets and garments. showing fine material and weaving. The texture of these articles is far superior 10 the crude Indian or Mexican weave of the period, and this is regarded as certain evidence that the owners were alien conquer ors who brought the stuff from Flu rope.
 The padre mine operators were driven out of Mexico about 1912 and never permitted to return. Though the Cockrosch mine was well known, its location remained a mystery until recently an American mining engineer found it by acci- dent. Legend tells that the retreat ing spaniards buried many bars of pure gold and silver in the vicinity of the Cockroach and this tradition adds zest to the work of the miners.
