Groucho Marx, who is more clever
in speech than the rest, should
make a good auctioneer. His at
tempts to try and sell some Florida
real estate, only to be defeated
through Chico's dumbness, is riot.
Dumbness seems to come easy to
Chico. Nothing could be explained
to him too clearly and then he could
not grasp what it was all about.
zeppo seems to have left all the
comedy to his brothers and only ap-
pears as one of the hotel clerks.
Not only are Harpo and Chico
we'll trained as comedians, but both
can play musical instrument with
an originality which is refreshing
and entertaining. One regrets that
Chico can not be called back, when
le finishes playing the piano, and

that Harpo does not play some more
on the harp.
This all talking, all singing and
all dancing treat, also boasts of
large chorus of fast steppers. Al
though the thrill and excitement of
large chorus, loses much of its
charm and appeal on the screen,
these girls, lead by Miss Eaton, can
surely step high.
AS a whole THE Cocoanuts" is
fine entertainment and good for
many a laugh, to those who enjoy
laughing and cheer.

ANOTHER FINE
MYSTERY TALKING MOVIE

We might call this week Good
Mystery Week" in the indianapolis
movie houses.
The Indiana this week has one OF
the best of this talking mystery
crop. 1t is 1.-The Mysterious DR.. Flu
Manchu" with an all-talking cast
of great merit and ability.
1t seems to me that it takes the
edge off of the fun and the suspense
which has been masterfully built up,
to tell you of the plot. 1t IS sui
fcient to know that you are con-
cerned with the f1endish methods OF
DR.. Flu to avenge his noble mouse
upon the English officers who killed
his wife and child in his own peace
full home during the Box rebellion IN
China.
You see cruel and strange murder
done in many style by DIR. Flu who
paints another scale on his dragon
as each new victim falls.
There are more deaths in this
mystery movie than in any 1 have
seen for a long time. The director
has used many a strange and I'M
suspected twist to get his hero and
his chief characters, some OF them,
out of the power of DR.. Flu.
When I was at the Indiana to see
1.-THE Mysterious DR.. Flu Manchu'
the audience was worked up to such
a high pitch that many people cried
out when the death-d dealing power
of DR.. Flu descended upon some OF
the chief characters.
This movie is as rich in suspense
as it is in fine names in the cast.
Look over these names of the play
ers and judge for yourself:
DR.. Flu Manchu Warner GLAND
Liza Ethan Jean ALH I.o,.
DR.. Petrie ......H. ...... Neil Hamilton
Sylvester Wadsworth ..... william Austin
Sir John Petrie ...-......:-. Ciauoe King

WEYMOUTH ..'..-...... .CH5l! .5 SIoIS -

FIi Mela .................J ask Winter
singh ............., Charles stevens
Ile Kew ElEldm OLdppCA OOoets
Warner GLAND, as DR.. Flu, is the
only one in the business who can
make an Oriental appear realistic
upon the screen. He has the voice,
the looks and the way about him
which gives to the character great
power.
You will be interested in the
splendidly restrained work of o.
P. Heggie as Nayland Smith of Scot
land Yard. He never overacts, but
does the character as a natural.
Neil Hamilton and Jean Arthur in
the love roles do nice work. Miss
Arthur is splendid when she is I'M
der the hypnotic spell of DR.. Flu.
She even will do murder when she
is that way. A sort of a modern
Lady Macbeth.
If you go in for thrills in the the
alter, then THE Mysterious DR.. Flu
Manchu" will more than fill the bill.
It Is exciting fun. intelligently d.
rected and acted. 1t is an all-talker
and another step forward in this
method of modern movie entertain
ment.
The stage show, "SeaShore Fol-
lies" is mighty weak in spots. The
outstanding features is when Char
lie Davis turns his orchestra into a
slee club and when the boys and
the girls of the chorus do a stair
step dance. The rest Of the revue
is mighty tame.

dola and the rear engine was
not thought serious, it was
promptly decided by DR.. Eek
ener that the start should be
delayed until Friday morning,
Tokyo time.
Witnesses Disappointed
The accident and the con-
sequent delay caused great dis
appointment to 5000 Japanese
who had gathered at and near
the flying field to see the great
airship take off. At Ueno
Station, Tokyo, at midnight,
there were literally thousands
waiting to board the trains run
ming to Kasumigaura Field.
On the last train there was
one first class coach which was
almost wholly occupied by Zep-
pelin passengers and newspaper
people. In that coach were
Karl Won Wiegand, Lady Hay,
Robert Hartman, cameraman,
and myself, besides the Ger
man and Japanese writer's who
will make the trip.
The third class coaches were
1ammed like a river moonlight
excursion. It seemed as II
everybody in Tokyo and Yoka-
hama wanted to get out to the
flying field to see the Zeppelin
leave for America.
Delay Causes jam
b We. finally arrived at the
field and the passengers climbed
aboard. There was not half the
excitement that there was in
getting out of Tokyo. u
Then came the disappoint-
ment. Announcement of the de-
lay was made and the business
of transporting that huge throng
back to Tokyo began. New
York in the evening rush had
nothing on this jam.
Air temperatures in Tokyo
are far higher than those at
Friedrichshafen but the hangar
is situated above the sea level
and near the sea. Il will there
fore be necessary to lift the
ship only few hundred feet.
Indications are that changes
on the next leg will be most
interesting from a weather
viewpoint but we feel certain
that reports from American
stations will enable our meteor
ologists aboard to avoid serious
trouble.
Engines Are Perfect
The Zeppelin's officers and
crew have stuck closely to the
job. The trouble with one of
the gas cells, observed just as
we landed, was found to lie in
a leaky valve.
After a few valve and spark
plug changes, the oil systems
are drained and cleaned, and the
engines are now ready for the
next long grind. So far the
engines have not really been
called to maximum effort and
are therefore considered perfect
for the Los Angeles leg.

VACATION FOR HOUSE LOOMS,
 PRESENT TIME
I h r eatened Controveresy Between Senate, House,
 May Be Averted

WASHINGTON, May 16.-Hopes
 for summer vacation for most of
 the members of Congress was rais-
 cd today as progress was made in negotiations to avert the threaten ed controversy between the Senate
 and House and the formers right
 to initiate export debenture legisla- tion in the Farm Relief bill. The outcome rests with the Re- publican steering committee of the House which has been called upon
 to decide the manner the bill will be received. Whether the bill will be received with the debenture clause, as passed by the Senate, or sent back on the ground that the House has the only constitutional right to start such legislation, re- mains with the steering committee. Speaker Longworth and other leaders are inclined to favor re- ceiving the bill, confident that the debenture clause, which is opposed | by President Hoover, will be easily eliminated by conference procedure l and the measure then sent to the White House with less likely veto.
 Anticipating the adoption of the plan, Speaker Longworth an nounced a recess of six weeks or | two months after the House com pletes the work on the tariff bill and farm relief measure.

 Certainly not! He'll turn up in a day or so.'
 She nestled softly against me then. In her tender moments Lucy is inexpressibly dear to me.
 I must admit I am getting on for the sort of thing that began at breakfast the next morning.

 When he had gone, Lucy came in.
 Dropping on a stool at my feet, she leaned her dark head against my knees. My fingers were soon stroking her sleek black hair. A common sadness of spirit suffused us and neither of us spoke for a little while.
 There's no word?" Lucy whis- pered presently.

The leadership or the Gastineau Channel Baseball League is at stake in the game scheduled for tonight at City Park between the Elks and Douglas clubs Each team won it's start last Sunday, the Elks handily and the Islanders in a 1O-inning affray against the | Moose.
 The Elks will introduce new heavier to the fans tonight in the person of one Jensen who is said to have worlds of smoke and a fine assortment of twisters. Against him probably will be opposed Big Andy Andrews, elongated portside hurler who has lots of everything except control which he is short of occasionally
 Weather conditions permitting, and at midafternoon this was re- garded as bad bet, the game will start at 6;30 p. m. A special ferry leaves Douglas at 6 o'clock for Ju- neau with players and fans.

 Have you got word of some shing?" I asked eagerly.
 His face was inscrutable. T don't know, yet It may not amount to anything"
 Well, silence is the prerogative of the Holmes tribe. You have a fine car, MacNair. Just ten miles over the 5,O0O-mark,p observed. with a glance at the speedometer.
 He nodded. Its fairly speedy. I expect to be back tomorrow"
 The engine gave a throaty purr and the roadster slid from under my hand. At breakfast, half an hour later, Lucy had little to say. Shadows encircled her eyes and my heart ached for her. We had got to the toast and coffee stage when the telephone rang, It was Sum day, Mrs. Moffit's day off, and Lucy answered the call. Mrs. Moi fit had got our breakfast ready and gone to her CosInic Indulgence cir cle, which meets every Sunday morning at eight. We didn't expect her back until evening.
