In this story, Lloyd is an expert in
being kicked out of one job and
landing into another. His greatest
weakness is baseball and he is a
wild man gone even wilder when a
big game is one. We first see Lloyd
as a soda shaker in a New York
store while a big game is going on.
Lloyd develops his own method OF
getting the returns and letting the
rest of the help find out the score
without the boss getting wise. Lloyd
holds this Job for a few hours until
he is sent as messenger to the
boss house to deliver bunch OF
flowers. He is told to get the
flowers to the house by a certain
hour or mot to return" And he
doesn't. The way Lloyd misplaceS
the flowers is enc of the comedy
tricks Of the picture.
Much attention is given to Lloyd
and his sweetheart spending a Sun
day at Coney Island. Lot OF this
fun is mechanical as it is furnished
by the attractions. Lloyd's efforts
to keep his new suit clean is one OF
the comedy laughs of this part OF
the movie. Personally, I think that
the Coney Island scenes are too
long.
On the next day, Lloyd gets a JOB
as a taxi driver and this part OF the
movie is the funniest of all. He
runs into bad luck all the time. The
director pulled a master stroke when
he introduces Babe Ruth, himself,
as one of the passengers in Lloyd's
taxi. And the Babe" is given one
of the widest taxi rides he has ever
had. This part of the comedy Will
give baseball fans a cOrking good
closeup of the favorite OF the Ola
monds.
The second half Of Speedy is
concerned with Lloyd's efforts OF
preventing a bunch OF crooks to
cause the owner of the horse street
car to give up the franchise.
This part Of the movie may prop
erlv be called spectacular comedy
as many people are engaged in a
great fight. The comedy of this
part of the story is unique as
bunch of old men get up an army
to fight the tough guys who want to
wreck the street car. Here IS I'M
usual comedy and something that is
entirely new.
One of the widest scenes ever
filmed is when Lloyd drives the old
street car through the streets OF
New York. This sure is a thriller.
Am sure that you will agree with
me that SPEEDY" is new type OF
a comedy-spectacular fun instead OF
individual comedy. The picture Is
interesting from a standpoint OF
structure as it is developed upon
the basis of legitimate fun.
Charlie Davis this week is direct
ing his orchestra through steps

Ilomay Bailey, is given an oppor-

Heifetz
Was VerV
Serious
Noted VioIiniSt Gives Bril-
liant Recital
Here.
BY WALTER d. HICKMAN

CERIOUS was Jascha Heifetz
~ yesterday afternoon at the
Murat and his program was as
serious.
We had the extreme good fortune
of hearing Heifetz in a program
that correspondent to his mood as
correctly as if he made up his pro-
gram as he went along.
1t has been said that it is easier
to study the technique of Heifetz
than that of other artists because
he is the strict musician and not a
dealer in fireworks and tempera-
ment.
That was true of yesterday as one
really could see the method that he
obtained his delicate and beautiful
tones. Never have I heard purer
and truer high tones than he OBJ
tanned from his violin
Heifetz generally is in a serious
mood and his face while in concert
is devoid of expression. 1t seems
that he might be wearing a mask.
But he puts all of his expression
into the fingers that produce the
melody.
To my way of thinking, we had
Heifetz at his greatest while play
ing the Scherzando from Lalo's
Symphonic Espagnole" and while
playing Schubert's "Rondo."
At all times he had fullnesS of
tone, correctly and brilliantly pro-
duced. There was no display of
fireworks except when the compost
ton demanded it, and all through
his program ran his own serious
mood.
But this mood is Heifetz, and
for one would not want it changed
or not changed while he can pro-
duce his glorious tones.
He was generous in his encores,
all of which were given after the
