Russia Receives Another Slap

There is a deal more than appears the sur
face in the row between Great Britain and Soviet
Russia Nor is it without certain amount of peril
to world peace
Thursday night forty-fve Scotland Yard men
swooped down On the Russian soviet house in Moor
gate, London, and ransacked the place from garnet
to cellar.
Not only the ARGOS (Ango-Russian Cooper
alive Soceties) raided but the headquarters for
Russian trade delegation which was supposed to
have diplomatic immunity.
While the crack squad from Scotland Yard
poked about the place, sixty or mo% uniformed
Boobies surrounded the house in which the $50
British and Russian employees of the soviet were
working, and held them several hours, virtually as
prisoners
London papers say the sudden descent upon
the building because it believed certain
British State papers to which the soviet had no
right, concealed there.
The real significance of the raid however, lies
in the raid itsef-in the fact that it made at

Law and Justice.
by Dexter M. Keeezer

New Mexico statute makes it unlawful to gamble
or 10 operate game of chance. A man operated a
SLOT machine in his store which returned package of
chewing gum for every nickel deposited, and some
times returned chips good for purchases at the store
When he was prosecuted for violating the law he con-
tended that use of his slot machine did not involve
gambling. He said that lost anything by using
the machine because for every nickel deposited a
nickes worth of gum returned, and that he simnlv
threw in the chips for good measure his trade
HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE THIS CASE?
The actual decision. The Supreme Court of New
Mexico decided that operation of the machine was in
violation of the law against gambling because although
every might get his moneys worth the element
chance was involved in playing the machine.

Meet New Comedy Team-Karl
Dane and George Arthur in Rockies

had to decide three questions
Should she marry for money? For
love or for a grand opera career?
The future scenes give her the
courage to marry for love. And she
does just that.
Miss Swanson is mighty wise in
getting vehicles which gives her a
chance to- look elegant and to act
grand. Gloria is quite a grand per.
son herself, you know.
Her cast is quite effective,
especially Ivan Iebedeff. Flobellc
Fairbanks and Ian Keith Lebedeft'
ia the young Russian actor that ID.
W. Griffith believes has a great
future on the screen. Griffith told
me that personally and know that
he believes it.
Albert Parker has given Miss
Swanson and other members Of the
cast the proper direction. In other
words 1.-THE Love of Sunya" is
mighty effective dramatic theater.
Vitaphone this week introduces, us
to lisa Kramer and the FlonzaRy
Quartet as we'll as bringing back
Van and Shenck. The Flonzaleys
play with as much perfection on
Vitaphone as they do on the concert
stage.
The bill also includes scenes of
the Kentucky Derby. The orchestra
this week is playing the haunting
score of 1.-THE Merry Widow as an
overture. Beautifully played and
splendidly directed

OF Arthur as one of the smart
rockies. 1t seems that it is difficult
to keep comedy teams together after
they have made a hit, but Dane and
Arthur should not be separated for
several seasons. Am willing to stake
my reputation upon the statement
that these two men make the hottest
comedy team that the screen boasts
of at the present time. Arthur is
comedian OF the first rank and he
has the funny mug" and ways
which screen so we'll Dane, as you
recall, is a type comedian. Just give
him a hard-boiled opportunity and
this man will walk away with it.
Am sure that there are more real
laughs i'm Rockies" than in any
comedy that / have seen this season.
The subtitles are filled with the
best kind of laugh material. The
story OF Rockies" is just one hui
man scream after another.
And what finish! A captive bal
loon breaks away and carries Dane,
the heroine and her papa for nice,
exciting ride in the clouds.
Our rookie hero. Arthur, scars in
an airplane to dizzy height, jumps
on top of the balloon and manages
to get his sweetheart and her papa
safely back to earth.
And Dane has a WOW of comedy
finish-his encounter with a bird as
he makes his jump to earth in
parachute. This touch" is delicate,
but II is a scream.
Marceline Day is the cute little
heroine who makes the hearts Of
the rockies go pitter patter. MISS
Day is a cute little trick, and you
do not blame the boys in the movie
going wild over her.
Right now / am ready to vote
Rockies the funniest and best
comedy of the year so far. 1t Isl
going to be tough job to even
equal this one. In the fir st place,
Rockies" is a corking good story.
1t glorifies the citizens training
camps in a comedy way.
According to my way of thinking,
this. man Arthur has a good chance
of being one of the comedy leaders
on the screen.

Movie Verdict

OHIO-Karl Dane and George

earned the right TO be called
the best movie comedy team in
the business today. Rockies
is one of the funniest movies

COLONIAL-The real hit of
the bill is Charlie Chaplin in

DAYS when Charlie was happy
and a real artist.
CIRCLE-Gloria Swa nson

dramatic situations in THE
Love of Sunya." Mighty good
theater.
APOLLO-Another ineffective

of a novel by the late Gene
Stratton Porter. This time it
is THE Magic Garden"

love Chaplin in his early cane carry
ing days and that funny little derby.
He can put pathos into comedy as
easily as he can fun. And that
| think is proof of genius. But l
am sure Of the fact that Shoulder
Arms" will remain one Of the chief
reasons why Chaplin did become
famous.
The dramatic feature of the bill
is Held by The Law" one of those
murder mystery affairs with the
mystery missing. This is just
another OF the mine run" movies.
In other words, just another film.
The story is weak although Ralph
Lewis, Johnnie Walker and Mar
garet De la Motto do their best in
trying to put the story over.

using a new scheme this week. Each
day a Bridge deal will be given, and
readers will be asked TO bid il and
play the first trick as they would
at the table. Each hand should be
considered as it would be In a real
game and the bidding and play
should not be influenced by the To-
cation of cards which would not be
known to a player in an actual
game; in other words, these are not
double dummy problems with all
cards exposed, but are questions
which confront a player in a rea

Every reader Is urged to fill up
his answer slip each day this week
and compare results with the next

Russia is inclined to suspect that

She may be right to some extent,

Russia, RadicaIisnn

To think of Russia is to think of
radicalism, and to think of radical.
ism is to think of the Sacco-Van-
zetti case which Governor Fuller Of
massachusetts, has under advisement.
Radicalism has played too big a
part in this case all the way
through.
Whether anti-radical prejudice had
anything to do with the convictions
of Sacco and Vanzetti. radical
threats will nto help them.
The brain-sick sympathizer, who
sent Governor Fuller a pound Of dy-
Mantle on Saturday with the mes
sage that there was a quarter of a
ton more where it came from. repre-
sents the kind of friends from which
these two men have suffered most.

Angry, BeWiIdered

Russia is not only angry, but be-
wildered at the London raid.
She doesn't know whether her rep
resentatives have been caught in
mischief or whether they were mind
ing their own business and the
British government made mistake.
The whole world is similarly per-
picked and will remain so until
Scotland reports what 1t found.
1t will be a sad day not only for
Scotland Yard, but for the Con-
sentative party in England if some
thing worth while has not been
found.

CONSIDERING THE CHAPLIN
OF THE GOOD Old DAYS

Have always thought that "Shoul-
der Arms is the funniest picture
that Charlie Chaplin has ever made.
Am more convinced than ever Of
my position after seeing this comedy
again as one of the features of the
current bill at the Colonial.
When this picture was made,
Chaplin was happy in his work OF
