MIR. Willis. Like Mr.. Hoover, who paid
warm tribute TO his political opponent
Friday night on learning OF his death
they declared without exception that
his passing was loss 10 the Nation.
The word came from close friends OF
Secretary Hoover that nothing would be
done for some days toward mapping
out what will be done In his behalf In
Ohio before the Ohio primaries. April
"a There were indications, however
that there would be a distinct relaxa-
tion of the Hoover campaign and that
unless there was an unforeseen devel-
0pment, less intensive efforts would be
made To line up Ohio delegates to the

DENNY TELLS
WHY HE QUIT
STAGE

There is really no secret as to
why every stage player who can
make the grade is going into mo-
ton pictures according to Regi-
maid Denny, star of That's My
Daddy" which is being screened
this week at the Rialto.
Denny, himself was formerly a
stage actor, having toured the
world with various companies be-
fore excepting his first film role
in 1914. He has compiled some
interesting statistics.
Ten years ago there were 1 500
theaters in the country where
touring legitimate attractions
could play. Today there are less
than 500 houses which play 1egiti-
mate shows. This includes
houses which play pictures for
five nights and a show for one
night.
Since 1910 the number of mo-
ton picture theaters in the United
States has increased from 5000 to
20,5OO. The gross intake of all the
motion picture houses is so times
greater than that of all legitimate
houses combined.
Under these conditions" opines

transfer his talents to the screen
IL he could? The trend is unmis-
