Street and Lexington Avenue. the great tall spire of the new Chanin Building also bears aloft a lighted crown. All over this new section of New York. grown to gigantic propor- tions in the course of single decade, lights gleam like so many soft-glow- ing torches for spring evening Of the two new collossi of construction, the Central building is the more comedy by day. But an entrance into it's over-decorated corridors takes one back to the uper-ornamentation of the last Victorian period. The result, on the whole, is pretty hideous. The contemplating Chanins have shown more taste. Their building elings starkly to the new and modern in detail, from the soft grays and yell lows and natural woods of the inte- riors to the pastel uniforms worn by the elevator boys and other attend ants.
 A Good "Talkie"
 Recently We were almost convert ed to the "Talkies." We were fil- led with a grim resentment when we heard that Emil Jannings, to our way of thinking far and away the best of the actors of the silent screen, had lost his position as he does not speak English except with most pronoune- ed accent. The silent screen is ban ished in favor cf the new invention. Now, we have seen number or the talking films, and all of them have disappointed us; but last week n kindly friend tock us to see Ronald Coleman in Bulldog Drummond, 7, and almost we were persuaded that, after all. the time may come when the "talke" will be about as satisfae- tory as the spoken play. In the first place, Mir. Coleman has corkine vehicle in Bulldog Drummond,' a rattling good melodrama that could. n't possibly be true in any kind oi life. Then, he has an excellent com. pany in his support, and, lastly, hs has 2 voice which comes through ths ''talkie" machine with special effect iveness. .'Bulldog Drummond' IS fine picture. It has done more to ad vance the "talkies" than anything that we have seen yet.

toll for the oath of office when their
positions will be reversed. On Monday
the people who witness ceremonies in
front of the Capitol will be treated to
an unusual scene, for they will see
three Presidents of the United States.
Seldom, if ever, has former Presi-

to one of his successors in the pres

accomplished by the fact that Chief
Justice Taft will administer the oath
to Mr.. Hoover in the presence of Mr..

The town is now swarming with
visitors, many of them coming early so
that they may attend sessions of the
SEVENTEEN Congress. All plans for
the parade have been settled and
everything is in readiness. The prin-
cipal concern is about the weather,
which may necessitate the abandon
ment of the outdoor exercises in front
of the Capitol, as was done because Of

WASHINGTON LETTER
Continued from Page u


bert Hoover, the most dramatic feat
ures will be enacted in the Senate
chambers. 1t is here that the present
President and Vice President of the
farewells and voluntarily retire to
private life. There is something about
the spectacle of two men selected for
the highest offices in the gift of the
American people returning to their
home-life that tugs at the heart
strings of all. The last official act of
Mr.. Coolidge will be to sign last min
ute measures passed by Congress and
to tell a joint committee of the lead
ing members of the Senate and House
that the President of the United
States has no more messages to de-
liver either in person or in writing
to the Congress-" A few minutes later
the gavel of the Vice President falls
with the declaration that the Senate
of the United States adjourns sine
die, and so ends the colorful public
career of Brigadier General Dawes.
These ceremonies will be less tragic
than those that marked the end of the
Wilson regime, when the wartime
President fastly failing in health
faced the late Senator Lodge, Repub-
lican leader, and others who had OPP
posed his league of Nations and other
matters for the last time. 1t was a
tense situation that electrified the few
spectators. Citizen Hoover will prob
ably have his last chat with Presi-
