Ray A. Grombacher is bringing to
Spokane the picture of 1929-Maurice
Chevalier in the audible "Innoeents OF
Paris"
Chevalier takes the part of Victor
Hugo's gamin of the Paris streets
"Gavroche" and translates him into
Hollywood. II is Gavroehe with open
hands and mug that Mr.. Grombacher
brings to the Liberty following the
Desert Song says Mordaunt Hall, dis
corning critic of the New York Times.
Chevalier is an international char
acter as well as an international ae-
tor. He it was who wrote "Madelon
de la Victoire" world famous war
song, celebrating the peace, that
echoed around the civilized globe after
the armistice.
In the decade that has passed since
those days. of the Armistice, Cav
roche has grown up. Chevalier has
matured and become a great artist.
The most curious of all is that he
has become great artist as great i'll
his own way, for those who like coup
ling comparisons, as Douglas Fair
banks. The wild capers which were
once the expression of spontaneous
joy at being saved from the massacre
have been identified, simplified, pre-
cised in the way that is the process of
all art working on inspiration. The
songs are just as good" Ananas," is
the best.
In this cracking, irresistible light
heartedness there is not the least
trace of morbidity. His spirits ex-
press, as they did in the days of the
Armistice, a stroke of luck, not a dose
of booze. And without the least trace
of inoffensiveness he might scare, but
he could not shock, maiden lady
from Vermont.

Copperhead" has been produced on the
stage in Spokane. In its long runs in
New York and Chicago a few years
ago it established itself as one of the
most striking of modern plays dealing
with the Civil War period. With
Lionel Barrymore in the title role. it
won real distinction for both the play
wright and the star.
The period of the first two acts of
the play is 1S61-63 Then the action
jumps forty years, so that the charac-
ters who appear in the early scenes as
young men filled with the fire of the
war are seen later as fast-aging vet

players being divided between Marie
Powers and Margaret Dwyer Sanglier.

of James Emmett Royce and the mus

TAXATION CHANGE OPPOSED BY
o. S. F. OF L. EXECUTIVE BOARD

In explaining the reason for action
by the executive board, the board
said:
"ln view of the fact that the 1929
convention of the Ohio State Fedora
tion of Labor will not convene until
one week after the November election
and the convention will not there
fore, be able to take a position on
the so-called tax limitation amend
ment to the constitution of Ohio be-
fore the election, the executive board
of the federation feels it incumbent
upon it to urge the membership of
the federation to vote against the
proposed constitutional amendment
for the following reason:
"G)-The proposed amendment is a
subtle proposition, misnamed as it
will, if adopted, in no manner result
in tax limitation for the owner of
tangible property, such as farmers
and home owners.
"(2)-The proposed amendment, if
adopted, will not only not prevent in
creased taxes upon owners of farms
and homes to meet the future cost of
government, but it will place upon
the owners of tangible property such
additional taxes as may be necessary
to meet the levies for sinking funds
TO meet the cost of improvements
provided for by bond issues previous
to the adoption of the proposed CON
stitutional amendment, if the tax re-
ceived from intangibles, because of
the low rate thereon, should reduce
the amounts received by the various
political subdivisions as compared
with the tax now collected by them
on intangibles.
"(3)-The adoption of the proposed
constitutional amendment will bring
an army of high-powered lobbyists
intent upon securing favorable and
preferential tax rates for those en-
ploying them. We believe this would
prove to be extremely demoralizing
and detrimental to good government.
"(4)-The present sections of the
constitution of Ohio were fully and
ably debated in the 1912 constitutional
convention, and the convention voted,
by an overwhelming majority, to ap-
prove the present sections of the con-
stitution on taxation for submission
to the electorate. The electorate
adopted them at the special election,
reasons have been given for change"

grouped in great corporate entities,
then we must learn how to introduce
some measure of democracy into that
corporate's life.
The rich old lady of Baltimore
typifies altogether too much what is
taking place. She is at once rem
nant of an old day and type of what
is being brought by the new day
And altogether she is ridiculous
anachronism in world that is just
staggering back to its feet after a
herculean struggle to make the world
safe for democracy. But the pro-
ponents of democracy must see to it
that democracy occupies world made
safe for it. Democracy, of course,
will not just come, nor will it be
handed out by old ladies and other
absentee owners. Neither must it be
stopped by them!

SMALL LOAN GOUGERS
WOULD SILENCE PRESS

Madison, Wis.-Representatives of
three Milwaukee newspapers told a
senate probe committee that they re-
ceived $4,000 a year for advertising
placed with them by small loan COM
panies.
The contracts were signed when
legislation was pending to repeal the

assured a convention of small loans
companies officials in that city last
summer that he was using his influ-

stories unfavorable to the lenders and
print stories favorable to them.
