NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Of
New York"

Lights of New York, the first full
sength sound feature in pictures, with
all the conversation registered audibly,
IS filling Crandall's Metropolitan
Theater to its capacity this week just as
1t crowded the aisles of the Earle
recently.
AS a demonstration that the ''talkies"
have arrived, 1t is an outstanding sue
cess, for there Is little doubt now that
khis type of picture will have very
definite place in future top-liners. But,
like all other new departures, it has Its
rough corners which must be Snoothed
sDff. The action is good, for some Of our
best f1im stars are performing, notably
Cullen Lands, Helen Costello and
Gladys Brockwell. The dialogue Is re-
markedly clear, too, though not quite so
true in tone as that of the singing
voices heard over the vitaphone. But
that same dialogue is the fly in the
ointment" It Is woefully amateurish
In spots-and the spots are rather too
frequent. Dialogue for talking movies
win have to be developed to please the
ear and intrigue the imagination as 1t
has been on the stage. FirSt-claSs
silent dramas" may easily be ruined
by adding dialogue not up to the mark.
ITS a new Job for some one-writing
the talking scenario. It will have ele-
mentS in it missing in both the straight
drama and the old-time screen
scenario.
We enjoy Lights of New York" for
ITS novelty, but we would have enjoyed
At more without this obvious flaw.
Lands plays the part of the Main
street kid" who Is drawn, unSuspect-
1ngly, into the life OF the bootlegging
cabaret and speakeasy gang of lower
Broadway His speaking voice Is good,
which adds much to the effectiveness Of
his performance. Helene Costello is
the cabaret singer, also from Main
street, who finds the Broadway whirl
not to her liking. Gladys Brockwell
plays the girl who regrets that she liked
It too much.
Among the added features, Beniamino
Cigli, Metropolitan Opera tenor, in a
Vitaphone offering, stands out. He
sings a selection from La Gioconda."
Another Vitaphone number, Skating
Home" earns good laugh. The usual
news reel Is added.

Slow, ponderous perhaps, with the
infinite detail of a chronicle, the pic

There is sincerity and fine restraint In

ity of man and the brutality OF war. It
Is certainly the finest thing to come
from the British studios to date.

and while many may object to it's re-
viving so distinctly the memories of
days of war horror, yet there is little
doubt that 1t serves as propaganda of
power against future war.

FARM BILL OMITTING
EQUALIZATION FEE
OFFERED IN SENATE
Continued From First Page)

ICED to assist in forming a clearing
house association for the purpose OF
minimizing losses in the distribution
of the commodity and of providing
equitable distribution among various
markets.
1.-The plan as whole" Senator Nc
Nary said. would be administered by a
Federal farm board, consisting of the
Secretary of Agriculture and six men,
bers, who would be in sympathy with
agriculture and selected for their DEM
onstrated capacity and fitness for the
job.
Safeguards Provided.
Numerous ways are provided for en-
couraging the cooperative movement.
Aside from loans to stabiliZation cor
porationS, the farm board is authorized
to make loans to the individual CO.
operative associations to enable them
to make larger advances to the men,
ber at the time of delivery of the
product to the associations beyond the
advances possible under existing credit
agencies. Safeguards are provided for
the protection of the funds advanced.
THE farm board is also authorized
to help provide price insurance, under
certain conditions designed to protect
such funds as may be advanced to start
the insurance plan. The board is given
ample authority to work out sound
basis for the insurance, and is expected
to proceed with caution, since price in
surance is comparatively new. The in
surance should enable cooperative
association to make greater advances to
the members on their delivery of the
commodity to the association.
while this plan goes beyond any
legislation yet enacted for the aid of
farmers, its ultimate success is in part
dependent on existing laws providing
for agricultural credit, cooperative
marketing, research in agriculture.

adequate tariffs and other agricultural
legislation"
Republican leaders in Congress re-
main divided on the question of whether
to attempt the relief legislation at this
session or leave the problem to an ex-
ira session promised by Herbert Hoover
if it is necessary.
There are signs that some of the
Hoover members of the party prefer 10
leave the farm relief problem to his
administration entirely, feeling that
this was vital part of his campaign
and that he will be held completely
responsible for its disposition.
Also, there are rtmors from some of
the farm leaders outside of Congress
who supported the McNary- -Haugen
bills vetoed by President Coolidge that
they would prefer to have the legisla-
ton go over to the newly elected Presi-
dent. Their concern is reported to CEN
