What conciliatory feeling you
may have felt for Flo Ziegfeld
in the quick demise of his musi-
cal play, Betsy" had better
be lavished on others, poorer
and needier; the Hemingways

for instance, who, to say moth
ing of their never having had a
play flop on them, haven't even
a loaf of bread in the house.
A trip to Baltimore last night

''Rio Rita" assures me that Mr..
Ziegfeld will be. prosperously
Independent of worry for a year
at least and forces a prediction
that George White, who has had
things his own way this season,
will again feel like q small and

gree, tuneful, pulchritudinous
and moderately funny "Rio

"Rio Rita" eff You're in Love"
and the ''River Song" as will
call for rehabilitation of the
Valencia chanters, by way of
relief. Also "Kinkajou" is a
sure-fire dance number as is
March Of the Rangers" the
latter not unlike the "Riff Rid
ing Song" in swing and melody.
Ethelind Terry, brunette Circe
who has been prominent in other
Ziegfeld productions, is featured.
Her voice sounds better than
ever, probably because it has
never been given such oppor-
tunity and with such hearable
music. J. Harold Murray, via
the Shuberts and concert stage,
sings the lead in that sort of
a tenor and with that sort of
bearing and appearance that
suggests the campus back
ground, voice abroad and habit
of mingling. with people who
belong"
There are also Ada May, who
looks like Queenie Smith or

sodes with Bert Wheeler; Rob-
ert WoolSey in further foolish

among the principals. The
chorus, itself, is vocal, pretty
and of the dancing type, but,
agile as it's members are as
hooters, they go out like a
candle before the stepping of

novel, Summer Bachelors" re-
Gently published in The Wash

Miss Bellamy, whose portrayal
Of the flapper in Sandy" won
her widespread popularity, was
personally selected for the role OF
Derry Thomas by Director Allan

Of moviedom for the correct type.

acterlzation by critics here In New
York and Chicago. The New
York Times. commenting on Miss
Bellamy's work, while Summer
Bachelors" was showing at the
Capitol Theater, wrote: stMiss
Bellamy's work in Summer
Bachelors Is one OF the out
standing cinema performances OF
the year"
Director Dwan, however, did not
trust to a sole star, He sought
stars who fitted the roles in
Warner Fabian's frank expose OF
New York night club life. To OBJ
tain these he had to muster players
from both stage and screen. In
cluded in the cast is Leila Hyams,
voted a Find" by every critic
who has seen the picture. In
fact. Immediately after Summer
Bachelors" was shown ip New
York, she received q splendid long
term contract from a Coast pro-
Queer. She is in Hollywood now.
From the movies Mr., Dwan OBJ
tanned the services of Allan Forrest,
Matt Moore, Olive Tell, Cosmo
Bellew, Charles Esdale, James F.

the stage he recruited Walter

In the suit for unlawful detainer

court taken by Doggett was decided re-
Gently by the supreme court. The dis

require che receiver In the case to pay
him S1s836.20 as part of rent received
from the land involved in the action, and
the court made the order, but deducted
from the sum named $3.50 to pay the
receivers fees with it, granting johnson
the sum Of S1,67620.
Doggett appealed from the order, and
johnson filed cross-assignment or err
ror, maintaining that the district court
erred in paying the receive the $3.50 out
OF the rental money. The supreme court
held with Johnson's attorney, and while
sustaining the order of the district court
requiring the receiver to pay Johnson the
rental money, reversed it as to the S15O,
saying that the plaintiff, Doggett, should
pay that sum, and further held that the
creation OF receivership applied for by
Doggett was an error Of the lower court.

Contrast Astounding

United States District Attorney
Charles H. futile is right when he
says, Sober minded, honest citizens
are filled with anxiety as to whether
justice which is slow and doubtful
of itself is really justice at all"
He is also right in contrasting our
commercial efficiency with our legal
inefficiency,
No one can travel through this
country without being amazed at its
ability to do things with precision
and dispatch.
BY the same token, no one can
read its crime and court records
without being amazed at its inabil-
ity to do things.
If our railroads and steel mills
operated with the clumsiness and
inefficeincy of courts, we would get
nowhere.
One wonders now nation can be
so capable in one respect and 50
hopelessly incapable in another.
When it comes to commerce and
industry we lead the world. When
it comes to law and law enforce
ment, we are ct the tail end of the
line.
Chief Justice Taft has called our
system of criminal procedure a dis
grace, and thus far no one has risen
to dispute him.
