Chicago of entertainment program at cities where her special train stop ped. These differences have contin- ued at intervals and have become allied with minor splits between the official Rumanian party and Colonel Carroll and Major Stanley Wash burn. Marie's special aide.
 Controversies increased at Spok- ane with the arrival of Samuel Hill, wealthy mining man and his party, including Miss Fuller and her press agent, Miss May Birkhead and Miss Gabrielle Bloch, Miss Fuller's secre- tary.
 Although 1t was expected Mir Hill would be in charge of ceremonies at the Maryhill dedication only, he assumed command of the tour throughout the entire northwest, in disagreement with Washburn and Carroll.
 The storm thus aroused broke at Seattle on the return trip. After con- ferences with Queen Marie, Colonel Carroll and Miss Fuller, Hill agreed to quit the train there.
 It was understood that he was conforming to the wishes of the queen who had requested Washburn to remain with the party.
 At Seattle another expulsion took J. B. Ayres, representative of the Ford Motor company off the train. He was dismissed following publica- tion of news story quoting him as saying Ford's money was being used to defray incidental expenses of the journey.
 The next development came at Spokane, where Colonel Carroll cross examined Miss Birkhead con- corning her interest in the Hill party. She suffered a nervous col lapse yesterday when it was an- nounced that she and Miss Fuller would leave the train within a few days.
 When the party stopped at Great Falls, Montana last night, the city's mayor. Harry B. Mitchell, became irritated over incidents occurring while he and Colonel Carroll were escorting the queen. The mayor de- clared later that You can say for me that after riding for an hour in an automobile with Colonel Carroll that my sympathies are all with Samuel Hill"

GREAT SHOW AT PALACE

The show that ushered in the new Palace policy Is sure knockout. Both feature pictures are great. Red Grange whose name is known throughout the country makes his debut as star of the screen in "One Minute To Play" And judg- ing from the way the audience took to Red from the very start he is bound to be one Of the most popu- lar male stars of the screen within a very short time. "One Minute To Play" was written by Byron Nor gan who wrote the race stories for the late Wallace Reid and this fact alone would assure Q great picture.
 But Red is some actor. The men admire him and tho women must adore him. Red adapts himself to the screen just as well as he does to the gridiron. The audience fol- lows Red and runs with him across the goal for. touchdown. There is a beautiful romantic story inter- woven that makes "One Minute To Play" the best college picture of the year.
 And the companion feature whispering Wires. Wow! What q riot that one is? Anita stewart must surely have been scared while making this one. For the audience got so many thrills that it was a

PHAN7OMS ORGANIZE
Local Juniors to Put Strong Basket ball Team In Field This Year In Quest of Title.

The Phantom A. C., has entered the field of owners of club houses and an inspection of the place will show that the rooms are as nicely furnished as any similar ones in the state. The club will have a strong basketball team in the field this year and expects to make a strong bid for the city junior title. K. E. Park CT reported to the club that the team had been accepted in the Hart ford County "Y" league and the quintet will be outitted with jerseys and suits. A tie vote for captain resulted with I. Cohen and I. Levine as rivals for the honors and with the deadlock, it was decided to have two captains.
 Manager Carrubba announced that he has games in the works with teams in Hartford, Manchester. Springfield. Meriden, New Haven and Bridgeport. The teams average weight is 1.O pounds. The Phan- toms may try to secure the High school gym for practice, but Mana ger Carubba expects to be able to secure a home floor for the team. The players on the squad are as fol- lows: NJ. Berkowitz, N. Lipman, l. Cohen. I. Levine C. Marholin. J. Truman, J. Carubba and M. Yanko- witz.
 The club rooms are equipped with heating facilities, card tables, pool tables and a six-tube radio and are very comfortable and cozy. Follow ing the meeting. refreshments were served and music was furnished by the -Four Syncopators' and Paul Whiteman's Orchestra over the radio.

 An appreciative audience. though not Q large one, greeted the efforts of Al Jolson in Big Boy" last eve ming at Parsons theater, Hartford, with such applause and laughter as seldom is heard hereabouts. Jolson was certainly at his best and, with his entire cast, worked very hard in- deed to give the patrons their moneys worth. He succeeded ad- mirably, even though admission prices were somewhat higher than are usually charged at the theater, fact upon which he commented during the evening, explaining that playgoers in Hartford must expect to pay prices commensurate with good productions if they wish to be able iy lie tricts.
 The story of Big Boy" concerns jockey, an erring son of widowed stable owner, race horse, some crooked gamblers, a framed" race and the eventual ride to victory of the jockey who had been discredit- ed through the collision of the gamblers and the son, whom they had forced to give to the jockey orders contrary to those of the horse trainers. As in all musical comedies the story is of little mo- ment, though it supplies more than the usual opportunity for tense dramatic moments. The horse race itself, on a treadmill, is an en- trancing and gripping spectacle.
 While Jolson is not the only enter taining feature of the production his part is strongest in the minds of those who witnessed the musical comedy. He has several supporting members of the cast who would shine much brighter in less prominent company. able dancers and singers and an adequate chorus.
 Audiences should be larger during the next two evenings of the pro- duction, if excellent entertainment attracts as it should.

Unlike the Cubs, whose early squirt
resembles a Spring flash, there is
something substantial behind the
consistently steady playing of the
Reds. 1t is a veteran club, and should

| the season and has just started to

| opera ton in March, is just now re
| gaining his full strength.
The club still is lacking good
shortstop, and, in my opinion, it made
a stupid move in giving up Jimmy
Caveney for Emmer. The former is
| the better player. However. the
Reds have impressed me sufficiently
to advance them to second place in
nv pennant chances percentage. Gin
cinnati has been jumped ahead of the
| Giants.
Pirates Face Tough job.
Pittsburgh still is favored to repeat,
but 1t will be a tough grind. With

| is working a hardship on the re-

the past two weeks the club has
