Observation-Disclosures"

When interference" the all-talklng
sound film at Loves Columbia Theater
was first announced, much discussion
arose as to it's prospective success.
Certainly, the manner of presentation
is different from the general plot de-
yelopment of silent drama. Inter
ference" holds the audience and salts
fies the desire for the dramatic as no
soundless film could have done in pre-
senting a silver sheet version OF this
story of a woman's jealousy and dead
man come to life.
Voices are pleasing and settings lack
nothing of the elegance characterlzing
the modern settings OF the silent
drama. William Powell, as Phillip
Voaze, the officially. dead war veteran.
whose temperance in the land OF the
living leaves his former girl wife In a
distressing predicament, does magnl-
ficent piece of acting. A reckless roue,
whose life had been spent largely In
satisfying his own appetities and desires,
Voaze, dying from the effects OF post
war excuses, realizes his hopeless love
for the girl he had married in his
heyday-a love which makes of his final
act a redeeming gesture of Self-sacri-
fee. Give Brooks personality Is even
more magnetic when the Itch tones OF
his voice are added to the performance
Evelyn Brent and Doris Kenyon In
the feminine roles present striking
contrast. Miss Brent's Interpretation OF
the jealous sweetheart of Voaze, bent
on revenge, is especially noteworthy.

LTTTLE-"Berlin."

The feature picture this week is one
of the most unusual on the theater's
long list of unusual films. It is styled
"a Symphony of Big City" and is re-
markable in that the city itself plays
the leading role. There are no stars but
the metropolis itself.
It reminds one of the story o. Henry
wrote some 20 years ago about re-
porter working in New York who was
assigned to put into type the voice of
the city. His efforts were fruitless be-
cause he asked man after man, and
while each gave his one note to the
general voice, the note was individual

registered the public's approval last
night of musical comedy at stock prices.

received a highly complimentary well
come at the BelaSco, Kate Smith win
ming several curatin calls as Lavinia,
coffee house cook at the Newport docks,
where Rene Hamilton, as Loo Loo
Martin, falls in love with sailor. How
woman's love clings to a tickle, care
free sailor and triumphS over many
flardshipS is the thread of romance that
makes It sentimental as well as hilari-
GUS performance Frank Gallaher, as
"Bilge" Smith, the sailor-lover, makes
himself amusing for his fooliShnesS as
well as lovable for the sturdy char
acter he portrays-that of a man who
would not marry rich girl to live on
her money. The coffee house girl be-
comes rich through the sale OF an
heirloom and buys freighter IN ORDER
to provide a place to be with her sailor
boy, but he didn't want no rich Jane, .
and how she follows him the world round
and ridS herself of the money faint,
brings in Oriental and fantastic color
coffee house life. The pompouS colored
woman, guardian angel Of Loo Loo,
mixes Southern mammyiSms with jim

q way that Kate Smiths avoirdupols
enhances.
Rosa Snowden as Charlotte Payne,
Thelma Parker as Teddy Gale, James
Mckay as Ensign Alan Clark and the
three comical gobs-Robert Capron,
Robert Burton and Billy Kelly-provide
some outstanding examples of char

BY the Associated Press.
MILWAUKEE. Octobar 25.--A dozen
bodies marked today the resting place
of a Lake Michigan steamer and re-
Vealed the fate of her crew Of So.
Each incased in q life belt, they
fioated among wreckage from their i'll
fated ship, the Grand Trunk car ferry
Milwaukee, on the lake Is miles south
east OF Kenosha. Wis.
A half dozen boats we're detailed to
steam to the scene and complete the
work Of salvage today. Last night
searchers recovered seven bodies and
bits of wreckage which told how the
Milwaukee plunged to the bottom when
she was unable to breast the battering
waves of Tuesday nights storm and
make port at her destination, Grand
Haven.
Captain Lost With Ship.
The story of the actual events leading
TIP to the sinking seemed destined to
remain locked in the bosom of Lake
Michigan. The man who could have
told is dead He is Capt. Robert Bad
Weather" Mckay of Grand Haven,
whose SO years of battling the treacher-
Gus lake gales ended with defeat.
While Searchers were writing the last
entry in the log of the Milwaukee
laying plans for an investigation of the
tragedy, one of the worst since the
Lady Elgin disaster in 1860.
The United States Steamboat InSpec-
ton Service. through Capt. William A.
Collins of Milwaukee, wanted TO know
IL the sinking of the vessel was due to
negligence of those who ordered the
ship to clear port in the face Of storm
warnings or If the manner OF handling
the ship was contributory to the tragedy.
The Grand Trunk commodore at Mil
waukee, Capt. Charles A. McLaren, said
his company welcomed ANY investiga-
ton that may be made into the unfor-
tunate affair."" and added, my COM
pany would not knowingly take any
risks either with the lives of its en-
ployes or with its property"
Believe Cargo Shifted.
Marine men here, discussing the cause
for the disaster, believed that the freight
cars carried in the hold were torn from
their moorings by the butfeting OF the
storm.
The weight of the cars, they thought,
likely centered on one side of the ship,
tipping her just as she was caught in
the trough Of the waves. Once on her
beam end. with water pouring in
through the opening where the cars
are loaded, she would have gone down
like a shot.
