FAMOUS BROADWAY MUSICAL
COMEDY HITS In TALKIES
High-Priced Marx Brothers Stage
Sensation at Popular Prices At
Dover Opera House.

Praising "The Cocoanuts" is like
giving an endorsement to June sun
shine. Beyond question, it represents
one of the greatest accomplishments
of the talking screen.
'The Cocoanuts," which will open
three day run at the Dover Opera
House, Monday, is the first film mu
sical comedy as such. Here is the
method of musical comedy brought
to the screen, all-talking, all-sing-
ing, all-dancing, all-laughing. If the
lovers have song in mind when
they are inconversation, they sing it.
If the chorus feels like interrupting
the action with one of their dances,
they skip right out. And through it
all, the Marx Brothers, the worlds
four funniest men, the most high
powered and popular comedy team
on the Broadway stage, twist gay
thread of laughter.
"The Cocoanuts," is the Marx
Brothers great stage hit which
played New York at $3.50 for one
year. The music was composed for
the original stage show by the king
of composers, Irving Berlin. Berlin
added new theme song, when My
Dreams Come True" for the screen
presentation and Oscar Shaw and
Mary Eaton, in the romantic leads,
sing this tuneful melody.
The setting is the picturesque sea-
coast playground of Florida, repro
duced with lavish beauty and bound
less imagination. Groups of beauti-
full girls make up the dazzling Choir
us and the photography introduces
many unique and surprising effects.
Laughs come so fast they are al
ways stepping on one another's
heels. "The Cocoanuts" is a laugh
show from start to finish. 1t is all
the distinctive Marx brand of humor
turning from the absurd to the
ridiculous, from semi-sanity to COM
plete lunacy.

EDITOR OF RAIL
LABOR ORGAN FOR
GASTONIA VICTIMS

Cincinnati (FP) = "Commun-

clares The Railway Clerk, official
organ of the Brotherhood of Rail
way Clerks, an A. F. of L. inter

Gastonia textile workers belong to
the Nat. Textile Workers Union, a
Communist organization, the edi-
torial nevertheless says:
Because they are members of
Communist union and their de-
tense is in the hands of Communist
organizations, the plight of the ac-
cused as well as the issue involved
in this conflict are apt to be lost
to the regular unions in a cloud of
Communism. But Communism
should not be allowed to obscure
the real issue that is involved in

HOOVER UNABLE TO.
GRANT SINCLAR'S
CLEMENCY PLEA

Washington, Sept. 24.-Harry +.
Sinclair, multi-millionaire oil mag
nate, and Henry Mason Day, his
business associate, received silent
ly at the District of Columbia Jail
word that President Hoover had
rejected their application for ex-
ecutive clemency.
Sinclair is serving concurrently a
three-menth sentence for contempt
of the senate and six month term
for contempt of court. Day is
serving four months for his part in
jury shadowing. Days term ex-
pires next month, while Sinclair is
scheduled for release a few days
before Thanksgiving.
In rejecting the clemency appli-
cation, based on a plea that their
business interests were endangered
by their incarceration, President
Hoover concurred in the opinion
of Attorney General Mitchell that
the Communication of sentence would
undermine the confidence of the
people in the administration of jus
tice.
The president fears, it is believed
here, that if he committed Sin
clair's sentence the action would
give impetus to the drive for the
release of Mooney, Billings and
the 1. w. w. prisoners in Washing
ton, all victims of capitalistic
frame-ups.

Williston, N. D.-Temporary in

The officers of the company I'M

the committee hold that he def
nitely pledged the board against
engaging in sterilization opera
tions,.
BrOOkhart Iniects Himself
Senator Brookhart, republican,
Iowa, although not member of
the committee, used the privilege
extended him by Chairman Nc
Nary to ask Legge why advisory
committees had not been created
as provided for in the farm relief
act IN order to stabilize wheat.
The chairman replied that "jeal-
ousies" existed between the vari-
Gus organized wheat groups and
that it was regarded as difficult
to name an advisory body.
The Iowa senator contended the
board should have formed a COM
mittee from the unorganized far
mers, but Legge asserted this
would have been contrary to law.
"Well," Brookhart said, "the
most important section of this bill
is that relating to sterilization of
agriculture and that you have en-
tirely neglected"
eff that was wrong" Legge re-
piled eve have been derelich. II
has been our judgment that that
would have made matters worse"
Pressed by committee members
as to whether the board had any
intention of creating a sterilization
corporation for wheat, Chairman
Legge said one might be set up in
time.

According to the dry candidate

Since prohibition became an al

within 200 feet of every founding

The problem of what to do with

BIG NAVY MEN In
CHARGE OF NAVAL
PROPAGANDA QUIZ

Washington-(FP) = Both the
armor plate trust and high U. S.
navy officers are inescapably tar
red by the brush so freely WELD
ed by William B. Shearer, patriot
for pay and big navy booster.
These facts are considered by
Washington observers to be es-
tablished beyond contradiction, de-
spite the prompt efforts of adj
mirals to whitewash themselves,
and the highly diplomatic state
ments of the heads of the three
big cruiser building firms in this
country.
But whether the subcommittee
of the Senate naval affairs COM
mittee will really try to get at
the bottom of the brazen efforts
of the armor plate trust and the
admirals to thwart efforts at re-
duction of naval ornaments is a
question. Sen. Hale of Maine,
chairman of the committee and a
rabid big navy man enjoying the
full confidence of Bethlehem and
other shipbuilding companies, nam
ed Sen. Shortridge of California as
head of the special subcommittee.
And Shortridge's big jobs in the
Senate are to see that jingoistic,
anti-Japanese elements in his home
state are fed enough cruisers to
make sure that California, single
handed, can wipe out the japanese
fleet when it comes steaming to-
ward the Golden Gate and San
Pedro, as they believe it will some
day.
Shearer Was Gypped
Shearer, credited with wrecking
the Geneva naval arms limitation
conference, where British and Am
erican emissaries were seeking a
formula, is sore. Otherwise he
would never have "peached" on his
bosses, the Bethlehem, Brown Co
veri and Newport shipbuilding
companies, whose cruiser contracts
furnish the gravy for their stock
holders. Nor is he willing, now
that he feels gypped out of some
$250,000 for alleged back pay, to
let the gold-braid admirals duck
out of responsibility for the close
collaboration between the private
cruiser builders and the U. S.
navy.

HENRIK SHIPSTEAD
HEALTH IMPROVED

Minneapolis, Sept. 24.-United
State Senator Henrik Shipstead,
the junior Minnesotan in the upper
house of congress, returned from
a protracted vacation recuperated
from prolonged illness that kept
him under the care of his physician
since last February. y
Fears were entertained for the
health of the Senator last week
when Senator Schall asked for
prayers for his colleague.
Shipstead would return to his
desk in Washington in the latter
part of October but his doctor says
that would be too soon and the
senator intends to obey the doc
