In other words, these latter trophies

presents a double incentive to the

Wednesday and Thursday The
screen appearance of Fred Warnings
Pennsylvanian's, one of the most
noted and versatile organizations
of its kind in America, now scoring
a tremendous success in RKO's
musicomedy film Extravaganza.
"Syncopation, y affords an unusual
opportunity to analyze the distinct
ly American form of musical eX-
preston of which they are acknowl-
edged masters and ranking favor
ties. A study of the instruments
and combinations used by these
young men is amazing. Fred War
ing, the director, imparts much Of
his own enthusiasm and pep to his
men and conducts in a manner that
produces maximum results. The
brass section is prolific in bizarre
and beautiful effects, the three
trumpeters using a dozen kinds Of
mutes, derby hats, muffers and
other unique devices and the rich,
cello-ike tones of the trombone Of
ten are mellowed and beautifed BY
the clever use of the megaphone.
The bass player, foundation of
every orchestral. effort, plays every
form of bass nt-brass,
string and reed. The banjo player,
indispensable to rhythm, also plays
a violin on occasion, adding to the
string choir. Each member of the
saxaphone section is equally cap
able on flute, oboe and clarinets as
well as the whole family of sax
aphones. from the shrillest soprano
to the deepest baritone. Drums,
traps and tympani are presided
over by an expert percussionist In
addition to Fred Warnings Pennsyl-
vanian's in "Syncopation," the pro-
ducers of this first of the Radio pic
lures have woven exquisite new
melodies into the texture Of this
moving story Of Broadway hooters
seeking fame, fortune and love
along the street of make-believe,
three of which are sung by Morton
DoWney.

state has made an appropriation Of
$4,000 to carry out this work for
six weeks. As has always been the
custom the transportation of State
school teachers for one round trip
from their homes to Newark and
their board for the six weeks will
be paid for out Of this appropria-
ton. Each will be allowed the
transportation as explained and

Friday and Saturday-It may be
raining cats and dogs during the
showing of Fury of the Wild, but
if you let little thing like that in
terfere, you'll miss one Of the best
"dog shows" ever shown locally.
The story revolves around the 10y
atty of a dog for his young master,
who, after serving an unjust inn
prisonment Of a year, leaves the
penitentiary embitered and disillu-
stoned, but seeking to go straight.
Temptation Turks at every turn but
with the aid of his dog pal he fin
ally finds honest employment and
struggles to live down his past. His
employer discovers ne is a "jail-
bird" however, and after being dis
charged and then scorned by others
while in quest of a chance to earn
an honest living, he casts aside all
his promises and goes back to his
old haunts. His dog objects, but
the warm reception of his gangland
pals makes him feel again at ease
and he enters in their plot to rob
newly established hotel. The pic
ture reaches tremendous dramatic
proportions when the boy falls in
love with the girl whom he at first
tried to rob, and finally gains the
confidence Of her father and friends
forming a most interesting climax.
Ranger is capably supported in
Fury of the Wild" by cast which
includes BarbaraWorth, Pat 'OBrien

Letter ArOuSeS
Much. Interest
CONTINUED From Page l)

Secretary Seymour Lowman to con
tain ample authority for state ac-
tion.
1t has long been the view of the
treasury, Prohibition Commissioner
James NJ. Doran pointed out, that
states should play a more important
role in enforcement of the prohib.-
tion law. He said a Qualification
of the functions of the state ana
federal governments was needed, but
that this did not necessarily call
for any change in existing laws.
For some time it has been the
treasury policy to concentrate On
prevention of large scale hquof
smuggling, interstate conspira:ies to
transport liquor, and the larger com
mercial bootlegging operations. De
lection of minor bootleggers and all
police court cases have been left IN
the hands of state and municipai
authorities except where a definite
complaint has been made to federal
officials in various districts.
Drys Remain Silent
While the treasury heartiiy dP
proves anything looking toward a
greater measure of cooperation IN
prohibition enforcement from the
states, it was pointed out there is
no way by which the federal gov
ernment could require the states to
do more than they are doing volun-
tarily.
Drys generally refused to com
ment for publication on the letter.
VETS were virtually unanimous in
their commendation of the sugges-
ton for dividing the responsibility
for enforcement between the federal
and state governments.

sham is startling and reassuring, =

Massachusetts said, "Because it is

The story is based around the love
Of a show girl in New York for a
younger son of wealthy family
who frown on the scandal of having
an actress in the family. The chief
frowner is an older brother, who is
horrified when the girl comes to

ciety world combine to make the
production one of the most lavish
yet produced by the "talkies.
