Picture Headlines at Fox.

TOR the first time in many months
the Fox Theater is RELOCATING the
stage portion of its program to sec
ondary position instead OF the usual
$3.50 basis of routining the perform
ance.
This was brought about because OF
the showing of Street Angel with
Janet daynor and Charles Farrell. and
the desire of the management to show
the picture just as 1t was presented
during its long run in New York. To
give the usual stage presentation would
have required cutting the picture.
There is. however, an atmospheric
prelude. with Lawrence Downey singing
the theme song, Angela Mia" with an
appropriate and excellentiy lighted
stage background.

 Hoover Leads in N. Y.
 The poll indicates Hoover leading in New York state with . plurality of .ls.s.o to 1s5.sss votes with all the returns counted. In New York city. where it is stated every ac- credited voter was asked to vote in this poll. Smith leads his republican rival by 1tO.770 to 5.S64. while in 19:4 Coolidge carried all five bor- oughs of the city.
 The tabulations show Hoover ahead in Massachusetts. which is considered by many astute political observers as the prize doubtful state of the entire union. by . margin of slightly over to l.
 The completed returns show Smith receiving about sS per cent of his support from those who stated that they voted republican in the last presidential election. while Hoover obtains over 75 per cent of his strength from those who professed they were republicans in 1924.
 Many New Republicans
 Of the 444.370 who cast ballots in this straw" election but who did not vote in the Official presidential elec- tion four years ago practically 50 per cent are voting republican and over 3S per cent are voting demo- cratic in this straw poll.
 'The poll" The Literary Digest states editorially. "whose final re- suits arc tabulated herewith. has proved to be the greatest in history. with the complete returns some ESQ., 900 votes beyond the record making poll of 1924.
 ''The total of votes received. E. 767,263 out of total of approxi- mately 19.000,ooO ballots sent out. represent 2 proportion of l4.6 per cent. considerably above the aver age for polls of this sort.

 ''The outstanding features of the completed poll are the great plurali- ties given MT. Hoover in most of the states. the indicated democratic gain over 1924. throughout most of the country, especially in the largest cities. and the republican strength developed drought the south.
 "The Digest. as we announced in the first article on the poll. and has emphasized since, presents its figures in an absolutely non-partisan way. or an 'omnipartisan' way as one friend ly editor puts it, with the desire only to get at the facts in the case and so fairly present them that its readers may draw their own conclusions.

Hoover is shown ahead in %2 statei and tho Solid South" which ha, bssn democratic for more than SC years. will be broken according to final returns of The Literary Digest's hugs national presidential poll pub lishsA today.
 Alabama and Arkansas are prac- tically . stand-off between the two candidates in this prediction bal loting and The Literary Digest re- ports that most of the political ob- servers are inclined to place both of thess states in the Smith column.
 Election Is Probable
 With the exception of few some what doubtful sections Hoover is leading by substantial majorities in all of the other 42 states and the returns indicate his probable cleo tion by an ample margin.
 Other than the marked pluralities accorded Hoover in the great ma jority of states the outstanding fea- tures of the poll are the indicated gain of the democratic nominee over the returns of his party in the off cial lS3t election and the strong re- publican invasion of the south.
 Hoover Has 63 Per Cent
 Of the record breaking total of ?,7s7.:s3 ballots cast in this post card election" Hoover has 6S.2 per cent and Smith polls 35.7 per cent with the small remainder distributed among the several minor candidates.
 The Literary Digest in fts columns calls especial attention to . possible last minute switch of votes. such as occurred between the LaFollette and Davis ranks immediately rior to the 1s3t election day. which might re- verse the returns in certain states from Hoover to Smith. and it Is cau- tioned that this factor should be taken into consideration in deter mining the validity of the "straw" poll. for all of it's ballots were re- turned and counted more than two weeks before the regular election.
