SNAPPY DRAMA
BOOKED AT
NATIONAL

When the National Players
offer The Bachelor Father" next
week, marking the extension of
the 10-week season. they will see
an inimitably funny thesis that
not only found production under
the Belasco aegis, but which
found solid acclaim in New York,
Chicago, Boston and other cities.
Here, again, Walter Gilbert gets
a thwacking role that is just to
his liking.
The bachelor father is an un-
attached sinner, verging on mid
die age. whose world travels
have also plotted the locations
of his various amourS. Ardent,
loyal and devoted, an obstinate
quirk in him always baked at
marriage. Thirty-five finds him
still hotly sentimental, but lonely,
and he makes a sudden decision.
1t is to gather about him in his
own home the three children OF
widely diverse affairs and blend
them into his own household.
Whereupon, Sir Basil. the father
in question. commissions his at
torney to round up the offspring.
To Florence, Italy: to Manches-
ter. England, and to New YORK
the perSpiring young barrister
goes. and act two finds Sir Basil
and his assorted family beginning
a rare and delicious adventure.
1t is Tony Flagg, reared by a
New York vaudeville artists, who
upsetS Sir Basil'S ideal of an
adoring and grateful brood and
sets the house on fire with topsy-
turvy turmoil. Geoffrey and Ma
ria, respectively English and Ital-
ian and of fir 2r sensibilities than
Tony, are as deeply baffled by
that young vixen's impetuoSity as
is Sir Basil who, under her in
fluence, is beginning to believe
that loneliness is a blessing.
There is a Peg O. My Heart"
twist to the latter scenes which
rounds out the evening to a de-
lightfully romantic denouement.

FILM FOLLIES
IS FEATURE
AT FOX

Theh "Movietone Follies Of
1880" yesterday inaugurated the
Friday opening policy of the Fox
Theater. .-
Patterned somewhat after the
successful "Sunnyside Up" the
Fox Follies proves enjoyable hot
weather entertainment. 1t is
done on a much simpler plan
than recent talkie revueS and
probably marks the trend of
Hollywood producers away from
the costly color extrayaganzas.
AS a matter of fact the Fox
Follies is done entirely in black
and white. There is no immense
chorus nor elaborate stage sets
nor believing prima donnas.
Stress is laid on comedy and the
first half of the picture is en-
tirely devoted to the heart in
terest" without any song or dance
interludes.
Ell Brendel, the Swedish comic,
has here his first big part and
with cute, tow-headed Marjorie
White gets many laugh. Posing
as a wealthy lumber man. Bren-
del has the chorus girls all crazy
about him until they find out
that he is in reality only valet.
William Collier, jr., Miriam See.
gar, Yola D'avril and Noel Francis
also have good parts.
A half dozen composers had g.
hand in writing the music for
the 1880 FollieS but the score,
though not hard to listen to, is.
not distinguished.
The Fanchon and Marco stage
presentation at the Fox this week :
is called the Carnival Russo" a
most novel offering and filled
with unusual talent.
Countess Sonia and Alex-Sherer-
Kekefi show something new in
the adagio dance. The Sam Lin
field Company of acrobSts tun-
blers and midgetS make things
hectic for a while and a Russian
trio with a wooden soldier chorus
present a most tuneful, colorful
act. ..
Solo numbers by members Of #
the Brusiloff orchestra get a big
hand.

Public Opinion and Enforcement.
(New York World)

Six months ago. when the Literary Digest took it's celebrated poll on Prohibition, the results of this unofficial referendum showed in Illinois PAT per cent of the total vote in favor of enforcement of the Vostead Act 293 per cent. in favor of modification to permit light wines and beer and 46 per cent in favor of outright repeal These figures were scofed at by the professional Prohib- ton organizations. The country was told that 1t was preposterous to believe that 46 per cent. Of the Illinois electorate actually favored repeal.
 On Tuesday of last week the electorate of Illi- nos voted in official referendum on the ques- tion of repeal as well the question of modfca- tion The results of this referendum have been slow in coming in. Figures from great majority of precincts, however, have been published in the Chicago Daily News. These figures show the following results On the question of modification in favor of modification 731 per cent; opposed to modification, 269 per cent. On the questionof re- peal-in favor of repeal, 715 per cent; opposed to repeal, 285 per cent
 These figures plainly show one of two things: either that the Literary Digest poll consideraly underestmated the strength of repeal sentiment in Illinois last May, that this sentiment has increased enormously since the spring. This s equally true as we pointed out last week, in the case of the two other States which held Prohibi- tion referendums on Nov. - Massachusetts ano Rhode Island

GOV. ROOSEVELT'S GREAT VICTORY

AS the tumult over the late election subsidies and more details become available, a clearer con- ception of the great victory won by Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt in New York is possible. His plurality over his Republican opponent was 7251o7 slightly less than was at first indicated but the largest ever given Democratic candidate for Governor by the electorate of the Empire State He not only car ried New York City but entered that city from up- State with clear plurality. It was the first time that the upstate districts favored a Demo- crat for Governor.
 Out of 57 counties outside of New York City, Gov Roosevelt carried AZ In six others he lacked but few of winning. He lost by only six votes in Otsego County, Washington by 83 Putnam by 137 Orleans by 230 Wayne by 564 and Lawrence by $50 Many of the counties he carried, went Democratic for the first time in a great many years His overwhelming victory undoubtedly not only added greatly to his national prestige but also increased largely his power in the councils of his own party in New York State and in the nation.

REDS IN PARADE
DENOUNCE MEXICO
Demonstration Is Staged by
Group of Youths in Front
of Embassy Here.

Carrying banners denouncing the
Mexican government, group of Com
munists today staged a demonstration
in front of the Mexican embassy on
Sixteenth street.
The group, small one, composed
mostly of boys and girls of high school
age, paraded peacefully back and forth
in front of the embassy entrance. Ban
ners they carried were inscribed: Down
with the white terror in Mexico" and
Join the red union" and others were
directed against imperialism and
capitalism"
They marched under the eye of two
patrolmen, who informed the demon
strators that they could parade as long
as they liked If they created no dis
turbance.
Meanwhile the embassy had been
closed for the day. Ambassador Teller
was absent in Mexico and Campos
Ortiz, who was IN charge, said he had
been informed of the demonstration in
advance but saw no reason for keep
ing the embassy open past its usual
Saturday closing hour
On January 4 Communist demon
stration in front of the embassy re-
suited in the arrest of 2S persons who
were released at the request of Am
bassador Teller.
Since that time, however demonstra
tions directed against Mexico have
occurred in other countries and diplo-
matte relations with the Soviet have
been severed by Mexico.
