ADAGIO TEAMS
FLIRT WITH
ACCIDENTS

Broken bones in q business as
dangerous as adagio dancing are
all in the days work, from which
it would appear that Mary Aloisis
Raye, of the thrilling "Undersea
Ballet" at Loew's Palace Theater,
must bear a charmed life.
In three years as a professional
Miss Ryan has never had a mis-
hap. But fellow adagio artists
shake their heads as much as to
say, She'll get hers" Mary
Aloisis, therefore, should be ex-
cused for keeping her fingers
crossed, for with her partners,
Ellis and LaRue, she performs the
most daring feat ever attempted
in an adagio dance.
The act is the original under.
sea adagio, depicting the strug.
gle at the oceans bottom between
pair of divers and a giant devil
fish for possession of a beautiful
Sea-maid. After a terrific fight
the monster carries off the girl
but is pursued to a submarine
cliff, from its 15-foot height Miss
Raye topples off backward, to be
caught byREllis. crouching below.
The Undersea Ballet" is the
most thrilling and colorful dance
of its kind and is reproduced as
it was originally presented at the
Capitol Theater, New York, with
a supporting ballet of 80 Chester
Hale Girls.

Common Clay Cuts
Courtroom Scenes

Although lawyers battles COM
pose a large share of Common
Clay" now in it's second week at
the Fox, the actual courtroom
scene in the production is very
brief.
Realizing that earlier film
courtroom sequences were overly
emphasized and had created a
rather unpleasant reaction, Di-
rector Victor Fleming adroitly
managed to compress the impor-
tant trial "shot" into a small frac-
ton Of a reel, letting 1.-the balance

2 FILMS AT
SAME TIME

There are some players on the
screen who Just can't get too
many different parts to portray.
They are happiest when doubling
in several pictures at the same
time, even If the extra work means
little or no rest. The reason for
this, as explained by Hale Hamil-
ton, is that when they we're on
the stage they had to pay the
same role so many times that q
variety of roles is relief.
Recently Hamilton doubled on
the Fox film lot in featured roles

play of that name, 1000 consecu-
tive times in America, England,
South Africa, Australia and New
Zealand, perhaps they would have
sympathized with Hamilton. The
actor played the role for five
years. 80
Lee Tracy is another who feels
that a new role is double pleas
ure because of its novelty. Tracy
remarked. when he staged long
term contract to be featured in

the strongest lures Of motion spic-

will be brought before voters of Mich
igan again in the general election in
November - this time by the Demo-
cratic party, which Saturday adopted
a platform recommending q Nation
wide referendum on the question.
That the Democrats were encour-
aged by the bitter primary contest for
the Republican nomination for Gov
ernor and by the overthrow of dry
congressional leaders in two districts
in the primaries was indicated when
they nominated a full ticket for State
ofnces, Heretofore they usually have
given tacit approval Of some Of the
Republican ofnceholders by naming no
opponents. The Democrats seldom have
carried the State for any ONCE, and
interest in the Republican primary for
many years has exceeded that in the
general election.
The minority party's candidate for
Governor is william A. Comstock OF
Detroit, known. as a liberal. Thomas
e. A. Weadock is running for Senator
against Senator James Couzens. The Re-
publican nominee for Governor appar-
entity is Wilbur M. Brucker, present State
attorney general but Alex J. Groesbeck
former Governor, one Of his primary
opponents, obtained q recount of the
vote, which now is in progress. Bruck-
er's plurality on the face of returns
was 4,70o.
