daughter could skip about. Mother
just knew her offspring would some
day be the greatest impression ar
tiSt on the stage. Daughter was not
allowed a natural emotion. She was
taught to think of impersonations
of such people as Al Jolson, Harry
Lauder, Anna Held and others.
Mother knew that her lovely
daughter must never have love
affair and for that selfish reason,
mama was always on the job.
Daughter couldn't breathe unless
mother decided in the affirmative.
So mother took her darling on a
long tour of the one-night stands
with its terrible dressing rooms and
even privation. Then mother staked
everything on getting her talented
daughter in New York. Mother was
clever and she sold her daughter to
a fine vaudeville contract by forcing
a powerful manager to book her
daughter.
Daughter made good and it was
while making good that she met q
young song writer upon the same
bill. 1t was love at first sight but
mother nearly ruined the experei :
ence. She was regular old war
horse and kept the friendly enemy
away.
Mother was wise in her way and
she broke up the affair by throwing
a fine stage fit. That sent mother
and daughter apacking and on their
way to Paris. There daughter was
a grand sensation. Mother was hav-
ing the time of her life basking in
daughters success. Daughter had a
sad heart-she wanted the boy in
the states as her husband.
Then we have the World war COM
ing on the scene and daughter be-
comes camp entertainer with 9TH
er famous people of the stage. And
of course one day when daughter
was entertaining that fine American
sweetheart of hers arrives. Well,
they about decide to marry when
mother arrives on the scene, stages
a fainting spell. 1t was not neces
Sary because the army moved on
And then the American lad was
missing.
War was over and daughter,
managed by mother, arrive in this
country for the opening of a new
New York theater named in honor
o. daughter.
Mother continued her program of
suppressing every human emotion
in her daughter until the child COL
Iapsed. The doctor then tells mother
whot blind fool she has been. OF
course, the boy was injured and
captured in the war and arrives in
time to keep his sweetheart from
passing on. Then mother walks out
of the picture, promising them that
she will not go with them on their
honeymoon because mother knows
best"
And how Louise Dresser plays this
mother role! Probably the best
thing she has done in recent years.
You will hate the character, but you
will appreciate the artistry that
Miss Dresser brings to the role.
What "The Singing Fool" has done
for AL Jolson then Mother Knows
Best" is doing for Miss Dresser and
Madge Bellamy. Miss Bellamy is a
regular darling in this movie. She
registers splendidly her combat to
do her mothers command instead
of listening to her heart.
Here is a picture that you will
enjoy. 1t has some talking, but 1t
isn't necessary. The Madge Bellamy
singing numbers are put over in
great style.
Don't miss this one.
Now at the Circle.

you need not endure one pang oE
pain if you'll accept the assistance

Midol makes this period an inci%

have found this to be true. Midol
is marvellous product; the work
of specialists. 1t is not narcotic.
But it stops all pain in five to seven
minutes. Taken in time, the pain
never starts. All drug stores have
Midol, in aluminium pocket case for
fifty cents, so it's folly to suffer!-%

U, S. VOTERS
WILL CHOOSE
81 SENATORS
Entire House to Be Named;
Confidence Voiced by
Rival Chairmen.
BY LEO r. SACK
Times STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-Thirty-
four senators, or one more than the
usual one-third, are to be elected
Tuesday and the entire membership,
435, of the house of representatives.
Both Republicans and Democrats
are making strong drive for con-
troll. In addition to the national
campaign committees, special Dem
ocratic and Republican senatorial
and congressional committees have
been working for months.
Indications are that the house,
now dominated by Republicans by
majority of forty-two, will remain
Republican unless an Al Smith
landslide brings with it control of
the house, too.
The senate outcome is not 80
certain and much doubt prevails as
to whether the Republicans slender
hold on the senate will be strength
ened.
Most Are Democrats
Among candidates for the thirty
four senate places to be filled are
seventeen Democratic senators, ten
Republicans and the single Farmer
Iraborite, Shipstead of Minnesota.
The other seats are being sought
by nominees who heretofore have
not been in the senate.
Democratic senators seeking re-
election include AshurSt, Arizona;
Bayard, Delaware; Trammell, Flor
ida; Bruce, Maryland; Walsh, Mass
achusettS; Stephens, Mississippi;
Wheeler, Montana; Pittman, Ne,
vada, Edwards, New Jersey; Cope
land, New York; Gerry, Rhode Is
land; Mcclellan, Tennessee; King
Utah; Swanson, Virginia, Dill,
Washington; Nicely, Wisconsin; and
Kendrick, Wyoming.
Republican senators seeking re-
election are Robinson, Indiana.
Fess, Ohio; Vanderberg, Michigan;
Howell, Nebraska, Cutting New
Mexico; Reed, Pennsylvania;
Greene, Vermont; and La Toilette,
Wisconsin.
IncumbentS Are Favored
Indications are that the major.
ity of the sitting members, regard
less of party, will be returned. In
dications are, also, that the sena
torial contests will be decided in
several states without reference to
the. presidential outcome.
Rival claims for control of the
next house are being made bV Rem.
resentative Will R. Wood of Indiana,
chairman of the Republican con-
gressional committee, and Repre-
sentative William A. Oldfield, chair
man of the Democratic COMPRESSION
al committee.
Wood believes forty seats now held
by Democratic congressman offer
excellent opportunities" for the Re-
publican candidates. Oldfield pre-
diets that sufficient Republicans
will be defeated to insure a Demo
cratic house.

bert's Gypsy Love Song"
To ears that have become bored
with a continuous fare of popular
music this new policy at the In
diana theater should mean some
thing really worth while, it does to
this reporter, at least.
The picture, "Show Girl" with
Alice White, is for the most part
entertaining enough, but at times
the wise cracks" are so forced as
to take the edge of the humor in
tended.
Dixie Dugan, played by Miss
White, is one of Brooklyn's most ad-
vanced young daughters. Her edu-
cational progress is readily under
stood when she brings home a radio
set complete and tells the family
that all it cost was hug and fake
telephone number. Anyway Dixie
makes up her mind to become a
Bros dway star, despite the sarcastic
remarks of her newspaper reporter
friend, played by Charles Delaney.
Dixie makes a chance for herself
in small part in one of the leading
cabarets and by lucky break gains
much publicity from a near -mur-
der, in which she is the root of all
the trouble.
Jimmy Doyle, the reporter, then
writes musical play and gives it
Dixie. She persuades an "angel"
to finance the show and all goes well
until friend Jimmy gets jealous.
On the stage is one of the regula-
ton Publix units with several spe-
cialty dances, ensemble work by the
girl chorus and a few songs. Anita
La Pierre, singer, has the same
routine which she used some time
ago at the Circle, a song or so in
French and a little byplay with the
orchestra leader, this time Charlie
Davis.
The less said about the Apache
dance the better. The Foster Girls
are the most outstanding part of the
stage program and their dance offer
i1lgs are done in a precise and grace
full manner.

 BIG BASEBALL POOL

This Is the Estimated Possibility Of
 Winniag-Six Men Are Under In-
 dictment.
 New York, Sept. l R-Six men accused of fraud in the operation of a baseball pool in which authorities said a players chance of winning was 1000 to today were under in, dictments carrying 65 year prison terms for each in the event of con- viction.
 The indictments charged use of the mails to defraud and each included Is counts, under each of which there is maximum sentence of five years. They were returned by a federal grand jury yesterday against William J. Howarth of New York. a locomotive engineer; William J. Pringle, alleged treasurer of the so- called Albany pool. John Otto and his two sons, James and John, and Walter J. Kane, all of Albany. Pringle and Howarth had been in- dicted here previously on charges of furthering a lottery. James Otto and Kane received suspended sen fences of a year and a day each in Boston last November on conviction of using the mails to promote a i lottery.
 Federal Attorney Futile said the new indictments, which for the flrst time charge that the lottery IS a swindle, were made possible be- cause some members of the pool had 1 begun to talk.
 i "The present indictments he said, "charges in effect that by the use or a number of plays by dummies Tn the Albany pool. after the key numbers had been determined upon before they had been announced, prize money was diverted from the genu- inc players.
 By this method the pool was given the appearance of great public ln- terest with pretended prizes aggre- gating S75.00O he said. Even If 1t were legitimate, he continued. the odds against winning were 10000 to 1 and by using crooked methods the pool vastly increased these odds.
