RASKOB DISPUTES
WORKS STATEMENT
Promises to Quit Politics if
Tariff Contention Is
Sustained.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. October BIN a letter
Gent yesterday to Dr. Huber5 Work,
chairman of the Republican national
committee, John j. Raskob said he
would resign as chairman of the Demo-
cratic national committee and vote for
Herbert Hoover If Dr. Work could prov,
that Gov. Smith, at any time since he
received the Democratic presidential
nomination and accepted the Demo-
cratic platform, has stated that the
Underwood tariff embodies the ideal
method of handling tariff legislation"
Much as l am devoted to other
principles to which the Democratic
party is committed" wrote Mr.. RasGoh
II could not be so recreant to my bust
ness training and convictions as to be
responsible for an inundation of Amer
lean prosperity through importation of
products of cheap foreign production"
Mr.. RaSkob's letter was prompted by
o newspaper clipping of September %,
quoting Dr. Work as saying:
The aspect of the campaign that
would be most humorous If it did not
threaten so much harm to the Amer!-
can farmer and worker, is the effort Of
Chairman Raskob to convince the coun-
try that the Democratic nominee for
Q1ALl llCdkl WIld6 4lC 90 Az
when he declared that the Underwood
tariff act embodied the ideal method Of
handling tariff legislation"
The Democratic campaign manager
stated in his letter that before taking
over the responsibilities of the CAM
paign he satisfied himself that the
Democratic platform and candidate
were committed to exactly the same
economic principles which I judged to
be best fitted to the maintenance anG
enlargement of our prosperity"
He reminded DR.. Work that Gov.
Smith, indorsing the Democratic plat
form declaration on tariff legislation,
had said:
THE Democratic party does not and
under my leadership will not advocate
any sudden or drastic revolution in our
economic system which would cause
business upheaval and popular distress"
Stating there was little difference in
the public stand of the Democratic and
Republican parties on the economic is
sue, but great difference in application
of policy, Mr. Raskob charged the Re
publicans had treated certain tariff
schedules as political foot balls" and
accorded rates practically at their own
demand to such private monopolies as
the aluminium trust"

Elsie Janis. the attractive utterance Of
a whispering Smith, the characteristic
gruff shout of a policeman--voices which
can imply so much more than their
words say-will be sought-for treasures
Voices will be effective more because
of their color and implication than be-
cause of any mere sound quality.
The girl who in a closeup can sing
a soft lullaby TO her baby and whisper
Good night, my darling in such a
way that the camera might be listening
in through the keyhole-she will be the

In which connection, Lionel Barry

evidently solved the problem of voice
regulation to perfection. While other

his fine voice down almost to a whisper

Mr.. Gouldng tells of the melodra-
matte possibilities of the talking movie
as follows:
Consider a character in a witness
box being asked to describe what hap
pened on the night that he dined with
Mr.. and Mrs. Greene-the night when

In the new sound picture we Will
dissolve from the witness box. as the
witness commences his narration, to
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Greene be-
fore the crime. and there show the
scene which the witness has begun to
describe Throughout these scenes the
witnesses voice will drone on, de-
scriptively-mechanic calm. telling of
the same events which we are Witness
ing.
in by the butler, there he Is as he
stands, listening tensely, his attention
caught by sounds of quarreling while
waiting for his host TO receive him (;
there he is, later, as he notices the
diamond dog collar Of Mrs. Greene,
which subsequently was found to have
been covering a bruise caused by Mr..
Greene's earlier attempt to strangle
her.
Throughout this action the voice, as
of the witness in the chair, continues.
1t Will be as if both the witness box and
the actual crime in course of perpetra-
ton were simultaneously visible"
Mr.. Goulding also says that no silent
with actual fear The eye is not afraid.
Fear comes through the ear, or sense
of pain
I know exactly what Mr.. Goulding
means. I once saw The Cabinet of
DR.. Caligari" in projection room, with
no musical accompaniment, and while
it excited and impressed me profoundly.
it didn't quite scare me out of my skin.
I later saw it in crowded and SUBJ
stantial theater. At the moment when
the heroine awakened suddenly sand
gazed into the fiendish countenance of
the maniacal Somnambulist the clarinet
player in the theater orchestra emitted
a wild, piercing shrek.
Fear came through my ear then. all
right. In fact. the gruesome sound of
that clarinet terrifies me to this day
I sincerely hope that Mr.. Goulding
and the others will restrain themselves
when they begin to produce talking
movie n1elodramas The human system
can inhale Just so much terror through
the ear and If that quota is exceeded,
something is bound to snap.

IN his memoirs, "A Player Under
Three Reigns," Sir Johnston Forbes
Robertson devotes considerable space
to 1.-THE Passing of the Third Floor
Back" At the time of its first APP
pearance in England, in 1908, and later
in America, 1909-10, the play created
quite stir. In fact, 1t was one OF
the most talked of plays ever brought
to America OF his experiences in the
play, Sir Forbes Robertson writes:
Prominent ministers Of every de-
nomination, Presbyterians, Baptists.
Wesleyans, Roman Catholics, the
Church of England, Christian Sci
entists and Jews, all have called at my
press their admiration of Jerome's
doctrine of the Better Self. In the
vast theaters of America, where two
thirds of the audience were far re-
moved from the stage, the play was
nevertheless followed with rapt at
tention, nor can recall any instance,
except one in New York, where dis
turbance was caused by people moving,
or even preparing to move, from their
seats toward the end Of the play.
On the contrary, no one ventured to
move till the fall of the curtain on the
Strangers words, I came because you
wanted me- Such was the influence
of Jerome's great inspiration.
"In September, 1909, I took The
Passing to America, this time on my
own financial responsibility, and
opened in Miss Maxine Elliott's beau
tiful theater with some trepidation,
for, though the piece had had long
run in London, It did not follow that
it would appeal to New York audi
ence, but to my great relief it proved
sweeping success.
AT the end of the New York sea-
son, we visited Toronto, Montreal and
Ottawa, where we had the pleasure OF
being entertained by Lord and Lady
Grey. Government House was very

the word broadcast by Fox Films.
This picture, according TO pre-VleW

peared as Poppy in THE Shanghai

overnight, and these critics agree that
with the release of "a Devils" Mary
Duncan will take her place along with
the great dramatic actresses In pic
