is something these days when jazz
is overrunning everything.
Resener for the overture this
week has arranged many compost
lions by composers who are living
today. You will recognize many OF
your favorite compositions nicely
played and intelligently conducted.
The ovation given Resener and his
orchestra proves beyond any doubt
that the overture has its definite
place in the program of modern
movie theater. was mighty glad
to witness Resener's decided
triumph yesterday.
The stage show is mighty weak
this week. 1t is called Wonderful
Girl" The first half is weak
musical comedy idea without the aid
of Charlie Davis orchestra. The
second half is devoted to the Or
cheStra and sad interference on the
part of George Riley who appears in
the first part of the revue. People
want Charlie Davis and I doubt if
this style of a stage show will win
any favor. And somehow Davis
can't get over the bad impression
made by the first part of his show.
From a scenic standpoint this show
isn't up or even near standard.

MOVIE OPENS
SEASON AT KEITHS

Apparently an effort to show the
perils of modern youths mode of
living, 1.-THE Road to Ruin" now
showing at Keiths Theater is a tale
of young girl who started out in
a seemingly harmless way and went
from bad to worse until the newt
able happened.
There may be a reason for this
picture but it is not easily found by
seeing the film. The story is one
of extreme sordidness and will leave
the wrong impression in the mind
of the beholder nine times out OF
ten.
It is Just a case where an example
of an everyday problem is shown
and no sign of a remedy offered.
The story takes the episodes OF
young girls life, the immoral
episodes, and cloaks them with an
air of romance and plea sure that
will have far from the effect the
picture is said to try and obtain.
In other words we do not even
think 1.-THE Road to Ruin" is good
entertainment, especially for inn
pressionable younger people.
Virginia Roye has the principle
role.

has competent direction-yes, it has
good acting-yes, but the story is
just the regulation yarn of a good
father going wrong and making q
fool of himself with a blonde gold
digging doll. This picture has
box office value-yeS, and there will
be many who will take it seriously
and like it-yes. OF course. when a
husband makes such a fool of him
self as this one does in this story,
the wife ought to kick him out in
stead of trying to commit suicide
But the wife suffers, the children
suffer and then the happy ending
doctor is called in and papa sees the
error of his ways, puts on a sad face
and finally returns home and asks To
be forgiven. Happy ending.
Phyllis Haver, as the blonde gold
digger who has the hardest heart of
any other her kind who has trotted
out infront of the eye of the camera,
rolls up mighty good characterize
ton.
y She has a clever introduction.
You first see her in a BARRIERS chair
getting bobbed again. Her ankles
and such are much in exhibition.
Then she sees a rich man and starts
making her plans to get hold of his
bank roll. While she is chewing
gun, showing her limbs and plotting
destruction, she is reading a copy of
Little Women"
Jean Hersholt is cast as the good
papa and father at first who be-
comes a wicked darling when he
falls into the clutches of the cold
hearted gold digger Here is a real
iStic performance. And some
comedy here, especially when Her
sholt starts taking exercises to re-
duce his waist line and perfect his
figure.
A sympathetic and fine per-
formance is given by Belle Bennett.
She is splendid when she registers
the heartache and mental collapse
when she discovers that her hus-
band is hoofing it about at night
with the blonde person of no good
/ intentions.
There is some theater in this
story. It is full of sex-that is if you
consider it sex when an old man
goes bounding around with a young
good-looking but wise dame.
Personally, I had the feeling that
Griffith'S talents should not be
wasted upon such material. It's a
long picture, well photographed and
all that, but it is one picture that I
will never remember Griffith di-

EARTH LINK TO
MARS BY RADIO
BRANDED BUNK
Planets Cannot Exchange
Hello Messages, Says
Noted Engineer.
Radio
BY CECIL OWEN
Initial pPaea C4oR Nor~oSuov,5


WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-Radio
communication with Mars or any
other planetary body is regarded as
fantastic by DR.. j. H. Dellinger,
chief engineer of the federal radio
commission.
Extensive experiments in past
years by the United States bureau
of standards, and other scientific
bodies, conclusively have demon
Strated the impoSsibility of saying
"hello" to Mars by radio, DR.. Del
1inger told the United Press today.
Radio communication with Mars
by long waves, as proposed by a
British amateur, is considered by
Dellinger impossible, because of a
radio ceiling" about 100 miles above
the earth's surface. It is not pos
Sible for radon waves to penetrate
this ceiling" High frequency
frequency waves, when broadcast,
shoot up to the ceiling with the
speed of light, and then are back
quickly bounced to the earth.
Ills COIlUdCG VI Vic waves WAOAA
the surface of the 100-mile nigh
ceiling known as the "heavyside
surface" explained the phenomena
of fading noticeable in receiving
broadcasting stations at night, Del
linger said.
Waves reaching the ceiling, he eX-
planned, slide along it, just as they
do along the surface of the earth.
The rarified atmosphere at that
height, he said, offers an excellent
conductor of radio waves because of
the intense activity of the air
particles there.
Heavier air will not conduct the
waves at all, SO they must travel
along either the earth'S surface or
the bottom of the so-called ceiling.
The theory of planetary inter-
ference with radio transmission on
this earth was rejected by DR.. Del
linger, who said, however, that all
our interference troubles are caused
by electrical emanationS from the

garb Of male rum runner. She
exhibits in "Oh, Kay" a fine trav-
esty sense. In other words. she is
adding to her comedy ability by
shading in the element of tray
eSty. When she serves a luncheon,
disguised as a serving maid, Miss
Moore is the cutest and funniest
thing you would want to see. 1t is
here that you see her fine sense
of travesty or ultra burleSque.
Miss Moore is lucky in getting a
story. such as it is, because she has
all kinds of chances to dominate
the entire works. I recall that
Ford Sterling is in the cast. and is
a comedy foil for Miss Moore. That
fact does not lessen the fun-making
values of any picture. Claude Gill
lingwater is in the cast, but hasn't
much to do.
You recall the story of "Oh, Kay"
1t tells the story of titled English
girl, who on escaping from a love-
less marriage in sailing boat is
struck by a storm. She is picked
up by rum running boat that is
bringing many headaches to
America" In this country she runs
into romance.
AS done on the screen by Moore,
"Oh, Kay" is comfortable and
mighty cute light entertainment.
