 Former Mayor George A. Quigley asked Russell &5 Erwin factory work CTS this noon to send him back to the office of mayor to end "a ram page of extravaganza and waste which has been going on for the past 10 years"
 In a voice so hoarse that he could be heard only a short distance, Can didate Quigley promised a govern ment free from control by any politi- cal group, individual or ring, and assured of tax reduction in one year of government under his administra- ton.
 The issue in this campaign is one of finance, he reminded the workers. Calling attention to taxbills of 1920, when he left the office of mayor, and comparing them with those for the current year, he pointed out in creases of from 150 to 200 per cent and asked if anyone could tell him what the city was giving the tax payer for the increased tax.

'LOVEPARADE,'
CHEVALIER'S
FINEST

The Incompatible Maurice
Chevalier is with us again this
week, this time to demon
strate beyond all cavil tnat
his place in the Hollywood sun
Is secure.
This brilliant luminary of the
Paris music halls has struck
his real stride in "The Love
Parade" Paramount's outstand-
ing contribution at the Colum-
bia this week, and it is a
stride which-wibh all due re-
spects to the fixed planets
and satellites of the movies
univerSe-his competitors will
find exceedingly hard to
follow. Perhaps they viii show
good judgement in not trying
to follow it. ~
The linking of Chevalier
with Lubitsch, the German
director whose genius, virtually
alone and unaided. has given
high comedy a habitation and
a name in Hollywood, is the
master stroke that makes 'The
Love Parade" something more
than merely a highly success
full film. It is a tour de force
in opera bouffe, in direct line
of descent, also, from the
VienneSe comedies of the Vadia-
Molnar school, the mere Sug-
geStion of converting which to
movie purposes would have
meant pure butchery a year
or so ago.
Here we have the irideScent,
subtle, Gallo romantic method
of Chevalier in a setting ideally
chosen for displaying 1t. There
is no denying the fact that
THE Love Parade is not ex-
actly new; in fact. it might
easily run into various movie
cliches if LubitSch. for q mo-
ment permitted it do so. 1t
has sparkle and q gay raillery
at the expense of a young
queen and her conSort who is
assigned, in line with mon
archial tradition, to a rather in
glorious role in the life of her

and asserts his masculine rights
is the story Of the operetta
The score is mostly topical,
and none too melodiouS; the
comedy relief, chiefly in the
hands of Lupino Lane, lately
Of London, is excellent; the
acting is of a uniform standard
Of excellence. especially that of
Jeannette Macdonald, who
plays the role of the queen.

ROMANCE

Judging from the name "a
Song From Kentucky" no
wonder a casual movie-goer is
generally surprised, when upon
seeing the current feature at
the Fox Theatre, he discovers
how much can be crowded into
q title.
That a single picture could
cover so much in the way of
varied atmosphere and depict
just about every emotion known
to those who have basked in
the sunny smile of Dame
Fortune as we'll as in the
shadow Of her evil sisters
frown, is in itself something of
a too radical departure from
routine comedy and drama.
It is to be argued whether
Director Lew Seller turned
over those emotions too rapidly
for the majority of reviewers
to digest.
The situation discloses a ris-
ing light in Tin Pan Alley,
known as Jerry ReaviS. In the
role, Joseph Wagstaff, recently
annexed to filmdom from
Broadway, does a fair piece Of
work. 1t will take a few pic
lures more to lend him the
finishing touches. He can sing
and play and when he has &C.
quired the finer points of char
acter delineation, he may be
there.

so Long Lefty" was a very
popular musical comedy sue
cess Of some years ago and it
has lost none of it's charm in
the screen revival. The theme
song is still as tuneful as it
ever was and is cleverly worked
into the domestic comedy,
which has to do with a tenn
porary exchange of wives and ,
the consequent complications
caused by the unexpected ap-
pearance Of a rich uncle.
Charlotte Greenwood'S warm,
resonant voice is heard at it's
best in the singing of so Long

cast, which includes Bert Roach,
