Splendid Acting
In Laughter at Fox.
NANCY CARROLL climbs up an
other notch in Laughter" the
new Paramount Aim. at the Fox, and
with her, in the medium of hiStri-
onics. goes Frederick March. These
two, in film that is not as con-
vincing as 1t should be, become quite
suddenly the most satisfactory team
in the talkies. For Miss Carroll, as
must be apparent now to hungry
movie seekers, is q pert and expert
exponent OF feminine allure, as well
as an actress who is enticing bv her
greaSe-paint abilities, and Mr.. March
seems like human being and one
that becomes more so under the ac-
couterments of his part.
1t Is pleasant relaxation to cit
back and watch these two in their
Romeo-and-Juliet moments. Al
though Miss Carroll seems to pass
through her cinema days in the
guise Of stage actress, she man
ages to play her part with the poise
and charm of q lady. Thus when.
In this film, one is told that she has
been on the stage 1t doesn't ring
quite true; neither does 1t seem right
to have her married to the corner
stone Of big business, when her
heart is far away with young COM
poser given to dreams OF his svnn-
phonic triumphS. And neither. i'm
TINS case, does the whole story strike
the major chord of reality except in
its idle and tuvenilely attractive mo-
ments.
The rarest bits in this "ultra
smart drama"-''ultra" referring pos
sibly to the def foolishness which
Donald Ogden Stewart has Injected
into its when the characters for
get themselves and revert to the
wh1msicalities of their type. Thus
odd as 1t may sound-the best
moments are when Mr.. March PLAYS
the Moonlight Sonata" with Miss
CAROLS butler, when the two young
lovers go riding on Long Island and
play bear" in a strangers house
and when--in q scene of extraordi-
nary reality-they say goodbye to
each other at the masquerade ball.
The artihciality of the plot Is for
gotten in these glimpses, and one
only has to enjoy two clever people
acting as one would have two at
tractive young people act.
The plot, which tries to be dra-
matte and Is good only when 1t
isn't, is handled expertly by a splen-
did cast. Especially to be recon-
menued is Diane Ellis, who shows for

these two characters shine especially
was the fact that they were good
even in the face of many odds.
There was not much of plot to help
them, and 1.-The white trash" that
filled up the rest of the film added
little to the festivities. However,
such scenes as the Mystic Shrine
of the Knights of the Sea, featuring
the Kinghish's headgear-a crown
with q bird dangling within it
made up for other deficincies-as
did the mere hearing and seeing at
the same time of these artists that
have made two invisible characters
live through the medium of the air.
Any disappointment that may
have came were due to the insult
f1ciency of time and the inability
Of the screen to be in two places at
once. One missed the non-cine-
matte appearance of Madam Queen
and Ruby Taylor, and-since the
picture was completed before the
birth Of such things-the lunch
counter project was not in evidence.
However, to atone for the lack of
what is running currently on the
radio, one was allowed glimpses of
the Fresh Air Taxicab Co.'S ONCE
AAA sA0A 0WAA8t bAAC Nd0 kboCA1 DCLIlk
catapulted by Amos down Broad
way; the long legs and endless cigar
OF Andy, and the drawing lingo of
the president of the company.
It Is obvious that these two will
have long life on the screen. One
hopes that they will go on and on
and on; patterning their characteri-
cations with the same skill that
they have heretofore. Last nights
picture revealed them as men of
mettle in the cinema game and
ones that must necessary carry on
the amusing heritage which they
originated. The public will never
be satisfied until Amos n Andy's
complete repertoire has been spun
out.
Besides the two newly created
screen stars, Messrs. Gosden and
Correll, and highly worthy King
fish, the picture had little of merit.
But that seemed not to bother
either the leading players or the
hilarious audience, which burst
into uproarious mirth in anticipa-
ton OF Amos n Andy's every word.

NAVY TO BUILD HUGE
NON-RIGID AIRSHIP
largest Of It's Kind Under. Contract
for Use as Aerial Laboratory
/ and Other Purposes.

Construction Of the largest non-rigid
airEhip in the country, to serve as an
aerial laboratory for development Of q
fuel gas to supplant gasoline or fuel oil
for airships, has been contracted for by
the Navy Bureau of Aeronautics. The
envelope is being constructed by the
Goodyear Co., Akron, Ohio,
and the car by the Philadelphia Naval
Aircraft Factory.
The new airship Is to have lifting
gas capacity Of $4,000 cubic feet and
win be 220 feet long and 81 feet In
diameter. It will carry six persons and
attain q speed of SO miles per hour. A
cruising range Of 1000 nautical miles
10 specified.
The Navy Department Is seeking o
fuel gas Of the same weight per volume
as air so that the weight Of the airshAp
may be maintained constant as fuel Is
burned without the necessity Of recover
ing water from the engine exhausts to
compensate for the weight OF the fuel
used.
Several types Of fuel gases have been
developed, among them the Blau gas
used by the Graf Zeppelin, but Navy
cficials are working for improvement Of
these types.
Fuel in the new blimp will be con-
Rained in q gas cell laid inside the
envelope along the bottom Of the hull.
As the fuel Is exhausted o correspond
ing amount Of air will be taken aboard

presentation Of a wealth of massed

Probably most audiences to which
fragments of such games have been
shown on the screen have found
their demand unsatisfied, and have
wished that more Of the game might
be seen. In college Lovers" there
is an attempt to remedy the recog-
nized deficiency, and probably no
picture ever before has presented so
complete q medley Of foot ball, al
though several games contribute to
the full assortment Of plays.

WORLD WILL HEAR
TREATY PROGRAM
Radio Stations Linked for
Broadcast of International
Addresses.
BY ROBERT MACK.

Invisible lines OF radio will sign and
seal the London naval treaty Monday,
| with the central figures located in Lon
don, Toxic and Washington, and with
the whole world as the audience.
Barring unfavorable weather condi-
tions short waves will tie together these
three far-removed capitals as the ar
ticles of ratification of the naval pact
are deposited with the British foreign
ONCE. From Toxic the voice OF Premier
Hamaguchi will be carried by short
waves across the Pacific and through
the networks of the National Broad
casting Co. and Columbia Broadcasting
| System, II reception conditions are IA
vorable. President Hoover will talk
from Washington, followed by Premier
Macdonald and Ambassador MatSu-
daira Of Japan, speaking from London.
First Program From Japan.
The short-wave rebroadcasting sta
lions of the domestic networks or those
associated with them also will broad
cast this unprecedented three-way in
ternational program, making 1t avail
able to listeners the world over. Eu-
rope will hear it via the system of the
British Broadcasting Corporation, as
well as from Americas relay short-wave
stations.
If successful, it will mark the first
time a program direct from Japan has
been made available to an American
audience. Both networks are doing
their utmost to have the technical set
UP perfectly arranged for the long haul
across the Pacific.
Columbia is enlisting the aid Of the
new master radio traffic cop-the new
constant frequency monitoring station
at Grand Island, Nebr., under the super
vision of the Commerce Departments
radio division. The most sensitive sta
ton in the world, 1t is planned to have
this station pick up the Toxic station,
at which point Columbia would take
over and distribute it over its own net
work.
Stations to Rebroadcast.
N. B. c. plans to pick up Premier
Hamaguchi's address at the Radio Cor
poration of America receiving station,
at Marshall, Calf, and route it by wire
across the continent to New York, where
1t would be placed on the network.
Then the r. C. A. short-wave sta
ton at Bolinas, Calf, will rebroad-
cast the entire program, for probable
reception in the entire Orient, while
the Schenectady and Pittsburgh re-
broadcasting stations of General Elec-
trio and Westinghouse would rebroad-
cast to other points. The British Co.'S
station at Chelmsford, England, also
will rebroadcaSt via short waves.
The Japanese station JIAA, is erect
ing a directional antenna, with the
aim Of insurtng success in the epochal
radio venture. This will throw the
signals in line across the ocean, 1t Is
hoped, whereas the conventional type
OF aerial is designed to radio In all d.
rections.
Columbia win rebroadcast over W2XE,
its short-wave transmitter at New York.
It hopes that Station KNX, Los An
geles, which is often heard in Japan,
will get out well during the program
and provide direct service in the Orient.

CYoung) Stribling has tossed aside
the caution that used to mar his
efforts in the ring and smashed
his way once more into the fore

Just five weeks after his sensa-

second.
a crowd Of $4,000 reared approx

him sitting on the floor OF the ring
and vainly trying to get to his feet.
Stribling had been a heavy ia
