LOAN HOPE IS SPUR
Germany Attempts to Rush
Finance Reform.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
BERLIN, Dec. 12.-Hope of COM
pleting loan of several hundred
million marks from an American
banking group was advanced today,
as the reason for the government S
determined stand on Dir. Rudolph
Hilferding's financial reform pro-
gram and the attempt to rush it
through to approval by the reich
stag.
Negotiations for the loan were
said to be at a critical stage, mainly
because of the criticism of the gov
eminent financial policies last week
by DR.. Hjalmar Schacht.
Schacht's declaration that the
government was doing nothing
which would enable Germany to
meet her reparations payments, has
caused the American banking group
to declare its unwillingness to ex-
tend credit unless measures are
taken to safeguard the nations
financial equilibrium, it is said.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-Two off,
Gals of the Pathe Film Company
were arrested today on charges
growing out of the fire in the COM
pany'S studio here in which ten
persons, including four chorus girls
persisted.
The men who were held after
hours of questioning are John c.
Flynn, president, and Henry
Lalley, production manager.
Police said between $4,000 and
100000 feet of films were stored in
room at the studio which was not
f1reproof. Under the law, not more
than 5000 feet may be kept in such
room.
Fire officials leaned today to the
belief that the blaze was caused by
a large electric lamp coming In con-

LYRIC PLANS
CHRISTMAS BILLS

A program of stage entertainment
and new Movietone feature pic
ture is announced for the pre-
Christmas week show opening al
the Lyric Saturday.
"a Song of Kentucky" an all
talking, singing musical romance
starring Lois Moran, Joe Wagstaff
and Dorothy Burgess is the main
film event.
On account of its human quail
ties and its numerous thrills, in ad-
dition to a charming romance, fas-
cinating dialogue and captivating
music and songs, "A Song of Ken
lucky" is said to be a picture OF
vital interest to all movie fans.
Joe Wagstaff, who, until recently
was prominent in New York musical
comedy, makes his initial screen
appearance in support Of Miss
Moran. Dorothy Burgess, who will
never be forgotten for her por-
trayal of ''Tonia" in "In Old Arr
zona," has also been given prin-
cipal part in "a Song of Kentucky "
One Of the high spots in the
production is the actual running of
the 1929 Kentucky Derby at
Churchill Downs in Louisville. These
scenes were made by Lew Seller, the
director, his assistants and the prin-
cipals at the historic course.
The stage show boasts four stand
ard Radio-Keith Vaudeville attrac-
tions. The featured turn being
''Love In the Ranks" a story song
and dance revue to the offered by
Edith Griffith and company. The
company includes Mcdowell and
Montgomery, versatile dancers, and
the Royal quartet, four male
singers dressed in regal uniforms.
A comical bit of travesty about
an American tourist trying to buy a
''sundae" in London is the plot OF
the act to be presented by Eddie
Clayton and T. Jones Leonard
While the soda fountain in America
is quite a common thing, in London
they are few and far between.
Grammar Hess and Vale, a
youthful trio of clever stepping
artists, offer fast-going specially
of dances, songs and novelty. They
feature a travesty of the Dempsey
Tunney championship fight which
has won them wide acclaim over
the Keith circuit.
The harmony singing of Marker
and Schenck is to be another fea-
ture of the stage show.

Louis Wolheim.
Erasmus high school in Brooklyn
follows up its screen contribution
of Norma Talmadge, Clara Bow,
Anita Stewart and Constance Tai
madge with another Flatbush belle
in the person of Barbara Stanwycki
recently the Bonnie" OF Arthur
Hopkins "Burlesque."
One night Miss Stanwyck didn't
do her home work. She was dane
ing in the Strand Roof Revue in
stead. There followed musical
comedy singing and dancing: keep
Cool" Gay Paree," "ziegfeld's Fol-
lies"
Willard Mack gave her speaking
part in 1.-THE Moose" Mr.. Hopkins
came along with "Burlesque," and
Miss Stanwyck was appearing in
that production in New York when
Joseph M. Schenck happened into
the theater and decided the young
lady deserved a screen test.
The story of 1.-THE Locked Door
throws the big scenes and the plot
motivation to the character Of Mrs.
Ann Reagan, portrayed by Miss
Stanwyck.
This character is accused of kill
ing Rod La ROGUE, she admits do
ing it an dsayS she wished to pro-
tect Betty Bronson, and then she
hears William Boyd say that she
did nothing of the kind.
There are no gunner in this all
talking picture, no trial scenes, no
psychological poker games.
This film is described as a society
melodrama.
The performances of its principals
are supplemented by contributions
from Zasu Pitts as a sap telephone
operator, Mack Swain as a nervous
hotel proprietor who wants the dis
trict attorney to call it a case Of
double suicide, and Harry Stubs
as waiter on a floating night club
vessel.
Rod La ROGUE, like Barbara
StanWyck, is obligated to Willard
Mack for his first chance in q
speaking part. Wilma Banky's hus-
band was seven years old when he
began to support Mack in a Duluth
stock company.
A high-pitched voice won the son
of Chicago hotel keeper further
child roles: in "Salome Jane" 1.-THE
Middleman" and "Shore Acres" He
yodeled in 1.-THE Blue Grip while he
attended an Oklohama high school,.
Finally, in the EsSanay studios in
Chicago, where Charlie Chaplin was
a comedian and Gloria Swanson
a beginner in bit parts, La ROGUE
began to act film roles in George
AIDES FABLES" and in Bryant Wash
burn productions.
After the closing of the Essanay
studios, he went to New York, where
he acted on the stage in support of
Mary Nash, Alice Brady, Francine
Larrimore and other stars. His
best known films have been 'The
Ten Commandments" forbidden
Paradise" and Resurrection" 1t
so happens that 1.-THE Locked Door"
presents him in the role of the vii
lain, not his customary place.
Just as Willard Mack was fac
tor in the careers of Barbara Stan
wyck and Rod La ROGUE, SO was
Sir J. M. Barrie'S "Peter Pan" i'm
portant to William Boyd and Betty
Bronson.
1.-THE Locked Door" opens Satur-
day at the Palace.
