A telephone instrument will be

For instance, passengers may
use the telephone to order meals

For spicy, ribald, hilarious

be equally difficult to, match

year and uShers in the new at

so many words.
Hot for Paris" is another
"Cock-Eyed World" directed
also by Raoul Walsh and fea-
turing again Victor M'Laglen.
1t has gags galore some good,
some not SO good. There is no
story but the action is pitched
at a fast, almost bewildering
pace. M'Laglen and Ell Brendel,
as a couple Of sailor boys, make
a great comedy team, the SWede
being responsible for at least
so per cent of the laughs. Fiji
D'Orsay, with the misbehaFiTig
eyes. shapely legs, AND Irene
Botdoni accent, makes an ad-
mirable foil for thet ribald
witticisms of the sailor pair.

sing few songs, for the first
time in pictures, but he is no

and music interludes of the

found in Condemned" the
United Artists piece OH view at
the Columbia this week
The locale of the pic ture is
its outstanding feature and its

the sea facing it on orc side,
and the tracklesS deo;ls of the
Brazilian jungle on the other.
The horrors of prison life in
this God.forsaken settlement
are intimated and sketched in
rather than portrayed with re-
pellent realism; the real truth
about Devils Island is not told,
probably because If it were
there would be no picture
which the public could be in
duced to see.
The writer can imagine no
more difficult task than to con-
lure romance on Devils Island:
but this is precisely the task
which Sidney Howard has set
before Ronald Colman and
Ann Harding in Condemned"
Colman portrays a common
Partisan sneak thief, and to
his credit it should be said

touch in his portrayal. no
touch of the sentimentality
which so often puts a saffron
halo on the modern jailbird.
The romance which furnishes
a story for these penal pictures
is never for a moment con-
vincing; but at least it is
handled in a workmanlike
manner and avoids all the pit
falls Of banality.
Perhaps the real weakness Of
the story lies in the fact that

Ann Harding to play-that Of

HAINES MAKES
LAUGHTER In
NAVY BLUES

william Haines is in the
Navy now, that is, in his latest
picture, "Navy Blues" current
at the Palace Theater. The
popular star gives sus his YER
sion OF a seaman's life, much
to the amusement and appar-
ent enjoyment of the crowds
assembled at the F Street house.
Haines portrays the role of one
Jack Kelly, a COB, in modern
parlance, possessing all of the
attributes and perhaps failings
commonly checked up against
the sailors.
Navy Blues" is a sound pro-
duction by Metro Goldwyn-
Mayer, scheduled as the open
ing offering of a special pro-
gram for January. Certain 1t
is that this first presentation
is taking the fancy of the many
followers of the breezy and
care-frea Haines. Somehow the
opportunities for the jolly BilPs
own particular brand of mirth-
provoking comedy seem rather
lacking and to some this no
doubt may prove an induce
ment, to others it may be some
what disappointing. At any
rate, the laughs are frequent
and spontaneous, The story is
not new and the acting is not
unusual, though some of the
situations are wholly amusing,
while others edge over the bor-
der of the suggestive.
! Karl Dane, that comedian, so
versed in looking funny is at it
again, much to the delight of
the audience, who seem always

in the case is Alice (Anita

a wide-open chance. 1t says in an
swer the following:
"The statements of the citizen
now occupying the presidency of
Nicaragua only show to what ex-
tent the opinions of complement
politicians can become warped when
they consent to foreign violence and
the delivery of their national insti-
tutions into slavery under a foreign
power" the paper declares.
"The United States orders and SUI
perintends every single official act
of the little republic. Foreign dele
gates control all the acts of the adj
ministration, train and command
the troops, conduct war against the
rebels, plans and direct the contract
ing Of foreign loans, direct work for
the opening of the interoceanic ca
nal, audit the expenditures Of the
public funds, oversee elections, and,
in a word, act as though they and
only they hold authority to regulate
everything that goes on in the
country.
These facts reveal that the presi-
dent was far from stating the truth
when he informed congress that
Nicaragua was absolutely sovereign
and independent. 1t is only neces-
sary to recall how the recent cleo
lions were organized to realize his
statement was untrue.
"The Latin-American protest is
far from being unjust. That protest
is not concerned with the fate of
politicians who are constantly beg
ging the support of foreign powers.
"The American continent is not
interested in knowing that surplus
in the budget indicates economic res
toration under foreign occupation,
not interested that peace had been
re-established by the force of for
eign troops imported to slaughter
those who oppose the government
and who are labeled bandits. Latin
American opinion is not going to
change just because in enslaved
countries there are authorities who
consent to foreign invasion and
profit by it,"
