I'm OLD ARIZONA"
REMAINS AT APOLLO

Action, thrills, romance, suspense,
all the ingredients that go to make
a top notch photodrama combined
with the enhancement of all the
players speaking their parts through
out, distinguish the first Movietone
all talking production, In Old
Arizona" which continues at the
Apollo for a second week, starting
today.
The story, by Tom Barry, is a
tale of the gentle art of gold-digging
as it was practiced during the period
when Brete Hart and o. Henry were
immortalizing the west, and the pic
ture has all the glamor of that
colorful section during the later
'90s.
The chief figures are the "Cisco
Kid" notorious bandit, a killer of
men and a lover of women, played
by Warner Baxter; his sweetheart,
"Tonia Maria" a half-breed Span
ish beauty, depicted by Dorothy
Burgess, and Sergeant Mickey
Dunn" of the United States cavalry,
portrayed by Edmund Lowe, as
signed to the hazardous task of cap
turing the "Cisco Kid" dead or alive.
The valiant young cavalryman falls
in love with the girl and plots with
her to trap the bandit. The latter
discovers their plan and resorts to a
novel scheme of his own in revenge.
I'm Old Arizona" is unique among
talking pictures in that nearly all
the action takes place out-of-doors.
The cast contains such favorites as
Farrell Macdonald, Frank Campeau,
Tom Santschi, Pat Hartigan, Roy
Stewart and Duke Martin. Raoul
Walsh and Irving Cummings collab-
GRATED in directing, the production.
Additional program features are
Movietone news reels and V.taphone

the excellent manner in which their
voices are reproduced over the
microphone.
Miss Chatterton for several years
has been one of Broadways most
popular stage stars but several
months ago deserted the footlights
for the talking motion pictures. Her
first screen work was in Sins of
the Fathers where she played
opposite Emil Jannings.
This is her first talking picture
and her work in this assures her of
permanent success in sound motion
pictures for some time to come.
The story was taken from Sir
James M. Barrie's Half An Hour"
one of the most famous of his plays.
1t is particularly impressive because
of the swiftness with which Fate
acts in the brief period of thirty
minutes. 1t is hard for one to
realize how swiftly things are
happening until it is over and then
the fact is driven home than one
has seen a great play.

educational policy.

HARRIS WOULD END
CLOSED SESSIONS
Georgian Wants Dry Hear
ings Held Open to Public
in Future.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The prospective prohibition report of
the Hoover Law Enforcement Commits
sion only partially satisfies the demands
of "dry" Senator's who have been clam
oring for information on the progress
of the commissions survey.
An effort will now be made, Senator
Harris, Democrat, of Georgia, said to-
day, to break down the policy of Sc
crecy under which the commission has
been operating and bring about the
substitution of open hearings.
The heated controversy over the en-
forcement of liquor laws, which has
been in progress for the past week. was
precipitated by demand from Harris
that the law enforcement group make
report on prohibition and by his re-
quest that no more funds be appro-
priated for it until such a report Is
forthcoming.
With this he coupled the demand that
the commission abandon its policy of
secret proceedings. He explained that
he was particularly anxious that a re-
port be received before the Senate takes
up the Treasury Department bill, which
viii include appropriations for enforce
ment.
Referring to the prospective report
of the commission. Harris said he was
glad it was to be made, but hoped that
in addition the commission is now
ready to continue its survey through
open hearings. He IS prepared, he
said. to follow up his demand that this
be done.

Independent Republicans In
vited to Aid Plan of InSuring
Agricultural Rates.
"TEST OF SINCERITY"
OF "PARITY" TALK
Democratic Leader Wants Senate
Coalitions Rate Sections
Approved.
By the Associated Pre-.

By the Associated Press.
Representative Garner of Texas, the
Democratic leader, today extended an
invitation to the independent Repub-
Icans of the House to join in forming
a coalition similar to that controlling
the tariff bill in the Senate.
The object of his move, he said. was
to insure the final enactment of the
tariff rates written into the Smoot-
Hawley bill by the Senate combination.
This would be done, he explained, by
the House approving the Senate rate
sections and sending only the adminis-
trative sections Of the measure to con-
ference.
The scheme has been discussed and
worked out by Democratic leaders and
includes demand for a record vote
when the Senate bill comes back to the
House.
Test Of Sincerity.
IF the Progressive Republicans are
consistent he said, in their declara-
tions that they favor rates which will
assure parity between agriculture and
industry, they should join with the
Democrats in voting the Senate rates
and sending to conference only the
administrative sections of the measure.
''The Senate coalition has pointed the
way to secure for the American farmers
the tariff rates essential to place agri-
culture upon prosperous basis and
every friend of agriculture, regardless of
party affilfation, should cooperate in
achieving this very desirable end"
Although Garner has yet to receive
any replies to his invitation, the tariff
bill passed by the House has been ad-
versely criticized by number of Mid
western House Republicans who had to
be brought into line by the Republican
leaders when 1t was before the House,
The minority leader recently asked
Representative Ramseyer, Republican,
Iowa, member of the House ways and
means committee and a critic of the
Hawley bill, II he would agree ito con-
cur in the Senate rates II they are pref
cradle and more in the interest of the
farmers than the House rates?"
Efforts to Retain Rates.
The Iowan replied that If he regard
eQ Cne SenaCe raCeS preIeraDle through
out he would avail himself of every
parliamentary means to retain the rates
that are preferable and get them enact
ed into law"
THE Senate has not completed its
work." Garner said, But the agricul-
tural rates written into the bill by the
Senate coalition make it obvious that
while the measure may be far from
perfect it is the most pronounced step
ever taken toward securing for agri-
culture some measure of benefit through
tariff legislation"
Describing the Hawley bill as the
most indefensible piece of tariff legis-
lation ever submitted to Congress, u
Garner said that in response to the
farmers pleas for equality the rates on
practically every commodity the farmer
is compelled to buy were increased.
