GREAT PROGRAM AT CAPITOL

The Capitol opened the last half of the weeks program today with one of the finest double feature bills this popular house has yet offered. Her Big Night" and Across ;the Pacific" are the big attractions and each one is individually worthy of playing alone on my program.
 Laura LaPlante, vivacious and charming as ever heads an all star cast in Her Big Night" a delight full comedy of mistaken identities and she also will be well liked for her dual role. which is considered the greatest that the screen has yet given.
 The story smacks with comedy, romance, and excitement, made so by Miss LaPlante's role of a depart ment store girl who doubled for a great movie actress at a personal appearance in theater. It is here that she plays the dual role that gets her into all kinds of predica- ments. ...

 Beginning Sunday night for a run of four days, the Capitol will offer the big special Private Izzy Murphy with George Jessel, Patsy Ruth Miller, Vera Gordon, and Nat Carr in the cast.

Speaker Pleased.

Cleveland, Jan. 27 R-Tris Speaker, in brief statement to the Associated Press today, said he was very well pleased with the decision of Commissioner Landis clearing him of the Dutch" Leonard charges and declared he expects to be in harness next season to prove to the baseball world that he is the Iris Speaker of old"
 Speaker, however, said that his plans are indefinite and that he has no idea which team he may be play ing with next season.
 Any likelihood that Speaker would return to his old position in the Cleveland Indians centerfield, but minus the role of manager, was vir- tually dispelled in a statement is- sued by E. s. Barnard, president of the Cleveland club.
 Barnard said that he and every one who knows Speaker were jub.i lant over LaAdis' decision, that the Cleveland club never wanted him to resign as manager and that his old job would be waiting for him had he not retired.
 Tt would be unfair and unwise to ask Speaker to play centerfield with the Indians," Barnard aid. "but we wish him well and know that he will be well placed"

 Tt was an unfortunate affair. l always said to anyone who asked me that I though Cobb an honest ball player, who always did his best to win. I held the same about Speak CT, though, of course, I didn't know him so well as I did Cobb.
 T had rather expected and always hoped for the acquittal. If the de- cision so reads, we will take Cobb back on our reserve list"
 Navin declined to say whether he would want to have Cobb in the field with the Tigers again or would want Speaker on the team, pending decision with George Moriarty. new Tiger manager. That's Moriarty's business" he said.

will seek to have the senate finance committee go ahead after the holi- days on the alien property bill rather than the tax measure.
 In his letter to MT. Mellon the chairman explained that there was some disagreement as to the pros pective revenue for the coming year with the treasury insisting upon holding the total reduction to s225. 000 900 instead of the So90, GOO, 900 approved by the house.
 He suggested that the issue might be settled if congress waited until March Is when first tax returns of next year are made.
 Delay until after March Is, would make it impossible for the corpora ton taxpayers, the big bcnchciaries of the pending bill. to obtain relief when they make their first returns in the coming year.
 However, thero are Indications that the treasury will propose that the taxpayers on that date would make only the first quarterly settle ment and that the reductions would be allowed in the form Of credit on the remaining three quarterly in stallments. Under such a scheme the treasury would not be forced to make actual refunds.

New York, Dec. 29 P--Declar- ing that I've need to banish the mo- lion that religion is opposed to the happiness and joy ot life" Bishop William T. Manning advocated Sun- day sports today in q talk before tn" National Collegiate Athletic associa- tons convention.
 one of the great symbolic dc scriptions in the Bible describes the Holy City 10 us as 'iuIl of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof, which suggests that We shall have our sports and recreations. or their equivalent, in the future life, as l certainly believe we Ehall. There fore. while Sunday is the Lords day and on that day worship should have first place, my own view is that pro- vided our boys and girls perform their religious duties on that day they should then feel quite free 10 enjoy their tennis or golf or other sports. I believe ]. Is pleasing 10 God for them to do so.''
