Will Rogers In "They Had To
See Paris" all talking Fox Movie
tone comedy drama

Underneath the humor and the
"wise cracks" which Will Rogers
gets off in "They Had to See Paris"
tie famous cowboy comedian Is
preaching a splendid argument for
real, wholesome Americanism, and
is doing it in such a way that it is
entertaining, as those who saw his
performance at Fox Imperial Thea
tre last night will testify.
/ A real American himself-Will is
part Cherokee lndian--he has a sup
/ porting east that looks like con-
gress Of nations. Fiji Dorsay, who
! not only vamps Will but makes him
sing, is from Paris; Ivan Lebedeff,
who portrays a Russian duke, is q
native Of St. Petersburg, as is Greg
ory Gay, while Theodore Lodi is
from Moscow. In addition to Miss
Dorsay, three others, Christine
Yves, Marcelle Corday and Andre
! Cheron, are from Paris.
Yankees in the cast include, Irene
Rich, Buffalo, y. Y; Marguerite
Church, Kansas City; Rex Bell, Chi
cago; Bob Kerr, Burlington, Conn,
and two native sons, Edgar Ken
nedy of Monterey and Marcia Ma
non Of Sacramento.
Will has the role of straight
thinking American father, married
to woman who loses her head over
society when oil is struck on their
property and lifts them from the
+ middle class to riches. A trip to
! Paris to "broaden" them results in
disrupting the family, but the
! straight thinking of the husband
/ md father reunites them.
The entire picture is splendid, hut
just the part where Will and Miss
Dorsay sing 81 Could DO 1t for
You," is well worth seeing. viii
not only sings but presides at the

.OLD-AGE PENSIONS
URGED BY SWING
Californian Declares. U. S.
machine Age" Brutal and
oId-BIO0ded.

Declaring the future will look upon
the present machine age as the most
brutal and cold-blooded in its treat
ment of old age" Representative Philip
D. Swing OF California advocated en-
actment of Federal legislation to care
for the aged at a breakfast meeting OF
the American Association for Old Age
Security in the Occidental restaurant
today.
THE Federal Government ought to
be the leader in all humanitarian move
ments, instead of which it is a lag
gard" Mr.. Swing said. The speaker
asserted that number of States have
old-age pension laws, and that If it is
not socialistic for them to have them,
it would not be socialistic for the Fed
eral Government to enact such law.
Congress was criticized for its fall
ure to enact legislation to provide funds
for the care of the aged in an address
at the meeting by Abraham Epstein,
executive secretary of the association.
with the exception of China and
India, which amply provide for the
aged through the family system, the
United States today stands along among
the civilized nations in it's utter neglect
of the dependent aged" Mr.. Epstein
declared.
The association, 1t is pointed out,
stands for Federal appropriations for
State old age pension systems. Bishop
Francis j. Mcconnell, president of the
Federal Council Of Churches, is the
head of the organization.

OIL TANK PROJECT
FIGHT IS PLANNED
Planning Committee Will Seek to
Persuade Firm to
Abandon Plans.

Decision to endeavor to persuade the
Sun OIL Co. of Philadelphia to abandon
plans to construct a wharf and storage
tanks on the Virginia side of the Po-
tomac River near the Key Bridge was
reached late yesterday at a meeting of
the committee on city planning of the
Federation of Citizens Associations.
The committee decided to suggest to
Virginia organizations that efforts be
made to convince the oil company
officials that the proposed wharf would
mar the beauty OF Washington. 1t was
pointed out that COL u. S. Grant, 3rd,
chairman of the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission, has express
ed opposition to the proposed develop
ment.
The application of the oil company
Tor permit to construct the wharf has
been pending before the United States
engineer office. Maj. Brehon Somer-
veil, district engineer of the War De-
partment, has agreed to withhold action
until the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission has made
recommendation. The commission is
expected to make its report next month.
AT the suggestion Of Maj. Clayton E.
Emig, chairman, the committee went
on record as favoring a suggestion of
the 1nterfederation of Citizens Asso-
Citations of Maryland that an airport be
constructed in nearby Maryland to sup
plement the proposed Gravelly Point
station. This site would have two
fold value. 1t would care for overflow
traffic from Gravelly Point and permit
flying with safety when fields closer to
the river were covered with fog.
1t was announced that Earl v. Fisher.
secretary of the Public Utilities Com
mission, would speak at an early meet
ing of the committee, when the city's
transportation system comes up for dis
cuSSion.
