talking pictures, One Hysterical Night Universal comedy starring Reginald Denny, will open tonight at the Palace Theatre.
 One Hysterical Night emerges from the outpouring of talking pie lures as the comedy film that is different, one that is built around an entirely new situation and one in which the dialogue and plot twists naturally produce howis of laughter.
 It's perfect Universal-Denny picture in as much as Denny wrote the story and the dialogue, with James Craft, director of several of his recent successes, directing Nora Lane refreshingly charming, plays opposite Denny
 In the picture Denny finds him. self as Napoleon, at a fancy dress ball, where those present believe he is cuckoo and really thinks he is "Napole0n."
 The merry makers band against him and precipitate a series of dramatic and humorous situations. It is there that he meets his Jose phine," Nora Lane, who also be- lieves he is deranged. How he es- tablishes his sanity makes a spirited and entertaining story.
 With Denny and Miss Lane in the cast are E. J. Radcliffe, Fritz Field, Slim Summerville, J. Cowls, Jcyzelle, Walter Brennan, Henry Otto, Margaret Campbell, P ct CT Gawthorne, D. R. o. Hatswell, Rolse Sedan and Lloyd Whitlock

 Her latest production, "Tne Wild Party" is a vivid, dashing film of unfettered, flaming youth and the scenes are laid in the college cam pus and classroom of an exclusive institution. It is an all-talking film.
 "The Wild Party" comes to the Coliseum tonight.
 The story upon which the play is based was written by Warner Fabian, author of Flaming Youth" and the adaptation was written by E. Lloyd Sheldon, assisted by John " A. Weaver, who wrote the dia- log parts of the production

THE SOUTHERN SITUATION

When President Herbert Hoover 5
sunnorters INDUCED in the notion
that the distinguished Californian 5
popularity in the Southland was ori-
marilv responsible for the large vote
obtained in the Southern States
thew were mistaken. 1t was not that
the anti-Smith Democrats loved their
marty less. but they hated All
Smith. the Roman Catholic Governor
of New York State, more. inns
leader still "holds the whip-handIe
over the Democratic party OF the
nation.
Until his grip is relaxed and the
Tammany Hall influences disappear
from the councils of the party the
revolt will continue. This IS why
the coming gubernatorial contest IN
this State is shrouded in so mucn
doubt. Both the anti-Smith Demo
Gratis and the Henry W. Anderson
Republicans are displaying astound-
inp strategy in the interim. Bishop
James J. Cannon, Jr., fired q velita-
BILE bombshell when he announced
that he would not support for Cow
ernor any candidate that supported
the GAL" Smith machine.
The anti-Smith convention Will
meet June 18th at Roanoke, Va,
and the indications are that the
ticket nominated will be endorsed by
the Republican convention which will
convene on the 26th instant in this
city. As for the colored voters,
many of them will enter into the
Democratic primary in August and
will support the Democratic candi-
date.
If circumstances justify it, a rev.
olution will soon be on the way. With
the short ballot and the many offices
which will be available to the party
carrying the State, it will be an open
question as to which of the two con-
tending parties will win.

JUDGE GRONER IN THE LIME

= From judicial and practical
y,;ewncint the memorandum handed
down by Judge D. Lawrence Groner
in the United States District Court,
overruling the demurrer OF the de-
PENDANTS in the suit Of James VI
West for $5,OOO.OO damages against
the primary election officials VINO
denied him the right to vote IN
Democratic primary in violation OF
his constitutional rights and priVi-
lepes, is a masterpiece.
The argument adduced, the au-
tborities cited, backed up by copiouS
extracts from the rulings and the
oninion of the Supreme Court of the
limited States, reinforced by copious
citations from the Constitution Oh
Virginia and the Supreme Court OF
VIRGINIA, is a revelation to many
,,ho had NOT taken the time to study
the case in all of its phases
That the position taken by thiS
distinguished jurist is practically I'M
nrepnable is emphasized from every
angle, the more one reads this his
toric instrument. The effect will be
highly beneficial to all classes. White
citizens, both Republicans and DEM
ocrats, have been first and foremost
in telling the Negro of this coun-
trv in general and in the Southland
in particular, that his salvation rests
IN the division of his vote, that ne
should not be the ''slave" of any one
nolitieal party, and then when ne
essayed to take their advice, both
parties proceeded to build up wall
of race prejudice, which excluded
him from both parties.
Right here in Richmond the Re

white district and occupied by white
pupils, the average Negro would not

we are advised, no colored person
