that spirit. She tries to act cute
all thestime while trying to give the
impression that she will be
naughty in just a minute.
Nils Asther has the role of the
stage version which heaped much of
the big scenes upon the shoulders of
the character. AS this movie now
stands, ASther is just foil for the
monkey-sh of Miss Davies. At
times, thought of Topsy as played
by one of the Duncan sisters in
'TopSy and Eva" I couldn't help
thinking that Miss Davies might be
attempting to do modern bedroom
Topsy in white face. I think the
stage version is much better. Of
course be your own judge on this
one. If you haven't seen the stage
play, you may get many a laugh out
OF the way that Miss Davies
carries on.
The photography is splendid. So
are the sets. And Jetta Goudal
wears some mighty striking clothes.
And she knows how to wear 'em.
This woman knows how to walk be-
fore the movie camera. So few real
ly do.
The bill includes Metro Movie

Huff at the organ and other events.

LETTER DENIES
CHARGES MADE
IN CAMP AIGN
Hoover'S Record Open to
Inspection, Associate
FIatIy Declares.

The Times is in receipt of the
following letter from a subscriber;
will you kindly publish if Mr..
Hoover received a salary, and If so
how much it was, for doing his great
humanitarian work of feeding the
starving European people with IN
Gle Sans money"
The answer Is furnished by DR.,
Vernon Kellogg, close associate
in Hoover's European relief work.
Before the campaign got under
way DR.. Kellogg wrote a magazine
article for Outlook, in which he
said:
"One of the old members of the
commission for relief in Belgium
has told in print the story of the
first meeting of the commission at
which Hoover said: We are going
to receive and expend millions. Some
swine, some day, somewhere, may
say that we grated on this money.
Therefore, 1 intend that we shall
have such accounting, such checks
and balances, such glass pockets,
that nobody can ever harbor even a
suspicion of our honesty
THAT swine has not yet ap-
peared. Even in the bitter partisan
ship of political debate no such
charge has been made, because
financial accountingS of all the
money handled by all of the Hoover
organizations, certified by the
worlds greatest auditors, have been
published and made available to
every one.
Hoover himself has never had
salary for all of his relief work, and
even has always paid his own per-
sonal expenses"
The national encyclopedia of
American biography in its sketch of
Hoover, after reviewing his relief &C
tivities says:
MIR. Hoover and his colleagues for
nine years had been engaged in re-
lief work and in the prevention of
famine and pestilence on scale
never before attempted. To per-
form this services to mankind
then abandoned their professional
business and pursuits and re-
fused to accept any compen
Sstion, not even travelling ex-
penSes, being anxious that their
humanitarian work should be con-
Quoted on a plane that raised it
above personal interest or recon-
pense. They themselves even con-
tributed largely to the relief mea-
Sures they adopted"

you right now that the Indiana Is
having the biggest stage show of its
career. From a scenic standpoint it
is beauty. The dancing chorus
is large and behaved splendidly.
Well dressed. The finale is flash,
reminding one of the big legitimate
stage revues. 1 did not catch the
name Of the girl who put over two
WOW numbers, the one about it be-
ing grand night to spoon and the
other a souse number. The last one
is a comedy gem and delivered with
great skill and artistry. This girl is
a wonder. Her comedy and eccen-
trio attack is different. She GER
tainly smaks of the big revue time.
Then there is Disco Retter, the man
who wrestles with himself. Corking
good turn. Then there are many
other principals in the big cast.
I like the style of playing that
Dale Young is doing on the organ.
I like his idea of volume and the
mixture of many tunes during the
course of his recital" The hit num-
Der this week is Half Way to
Heaven" 1t was composed by Rus
sell Robinson, song writer of this
city, who has become famous, and
AL Dublin, writer of the lyrics. Young
knows how to get the moonlight"
and the sentiment into the pipe
organ. Nice work this week, thus
giving this show to big song hits.
The feature movie this week is
Richard Dix in Moran of the
Marines" Featured with Dix is Ruth
Elder, the woman who took an air
fight to Europe and for no reason
whatsoever became a movie play
err. Her easy job is to fly airplane
and her most difficult task is to act.
There seems to be one sure way to
get into the movies-fly to Europe.
AS a vehicle for Dix, Moran of
the Marines" gives him a pleasant
comedy chance as well as to be the
romantic sweetheart. just light en-
tertainment.

first all-talking picture, is just a
trifle slow in getting started, but
once it enters the swing of the story
it is real, honest and, at, times,
thrilling entertainment.
A graphic, futuristic impression of
the World war is given at the out
set of the picture, which injects
the right atmosphere into the story
at once.
Then America enters the great
conflict and the war songs of ten
and eleven years ago are brought
back with all their old time pep and
martial air
Walter Pidgeon, who has an eX-
cellent singing voice, is cast as a
young song writer who can't get his
wits to working on the new war
songs his boss wants. Try as he
might, the inspiration is lacking,
and finally a buddie comes into his
Office who has just enlisted. Jack,
the song writer, gets his inspiration
then, and promptly enlists. much
against the will of his mercenary
sweetheart, Jane Winton.
Jack and his buddie got across
and played around the muddy fields
of sunny France long enough for
the two Of them to pick up several
machine gun bullets. Lefty, Jacks
buddie, gets hit in the knee and as
Jack is pulling him back to safety,
Jack stops one with his arm.
Then the lorg period of GONZALES
cence. But we are ahead of the
story. When the two boys arrived
in France they made the acquaint-
ance of a little French girl named
Madelon, played by Mildred Harris.
Madelon startles the two former
Broadwayites with her excellent
voice and they assure her that,
should she ever get to America, they
will make her one of the hits of
Broadway.
But after his wound Jack is un.
able to play any more. His right
hand is paralized. The armisticS is
signed and the two boys go home,
but Jacks sweetheart finds that she
doesn't care for him any longer
when she sees his arm. That's all
we will tell.
Mildred Harris has done excep-
tionally well with the part of the
little French waitress. There is no
reason why people will not want to
see her in many more pictures, so
she need not be worried about her
comeback.
Vitaphone short subjects make up
the rest Of the bill.
