FOX-"SpeakeaSy."


What William Fox seems to be aiming
at in his latest Offering. "Speakeasy,"
tS that 1.-The plays the thing" and not
the players, for the cast is headed by
two comparatively unknowns, cinemat-
ically speaking, but who, despite their
youth, are said to have had extensive
stage training. Reference is made. Of
course, to Paul Page and Lola Lane
who, though given ample opportunity to
click, are only adequate at best. The
acting honors should go to Helen Ware,
who seems composite of Mae West
and Tex Guinan in her role, and to the
veteran, Henry B. Walthall.
Mr.. FoX'S plan is not new one, al
though perhaps sincere What he seems
TO have overlooked is the fact that good
plays generally require good plots and
surely not even the producer himself
could say 'Speakeasy'' is original in its
theme. However (and this decidedly in
his favor, Mr.. Fox has endowed his
piece with some agreeable realism due
mostly to his application of dialogue
and shots of Times Square, Madison
Square Garden and a huge racetrack,
presumably Belmont.
This is almost unauthorized melo-
drama, which includes the Journalistic,
racing and fighting fields, streSSing the
latter, and since the mellow drama
seems decidedly on the up and up"

The facile and entertaining picture

Canary Murder Case" entered its sec
ond week at the Metropolitan Saturday.
Conforming in its essentials to the
conventional pattern of mystery muir
der plays, with their presuggestion Of
suspects, the actual commission OF the
crime, and the deductive solution by a
clever detective, THE Canary Murder
Case" adapts itself to talkie presenta-
ton remarkably well. Highlights in the
plot, such as the Canary'S Introductory
Matchmaking over the telephone; the
poker game, in which Philo Vance, ace
sleuth, gets psychological line on his
suspects, and the final revelation of the
mechanism of murder. are immensely
aided by dialogue and sound The
quality of voice reproduction still par
takes of unnatural volume, but in cases

Several days ago Clifford visited a
pond in Terryville where he found
two other smaller boys visibly agitat-
ed because of the fact that they had
dropped their money into the water.
Fearing to venture in. they related
their troubles to the older boy, who,
without hesitating. stripped of his
shoes and stockings and waded in.
Upon returning TO the bank after re-
covering the money, he found that
he had cut his foot on either q can
or a piece of wire. He was given
medical attention upon his return
home but septic poisoning developed
rapidly and on April 20 he was re-
moved to Bristol hospital. The poi
son continued to spread rapidly and
he gradually sank into state Of
coma from which he never regained
consciousness. Cliffords' schoolmates
and chums, upon hearing Of his
death this morning. were grief
stricken.
The funeral will be held at the
