THREE DIE IN
SEWER FLOODS
Fourth Man. WhirIed for Two
Blocks in Sewer Tunnel,
SWimS to Safety.

Minneapolis, Minn.-Four employees
of the city sewer department were
trapped in Minneapolis sewer by a
sudden, savage rush Of rain water.
One man, tossed about like a chip in
the blackness of the underground tun.
mel, saved himself after he was eject
ed from the sewer into the Mississippi
river. The other three were drowned.
Shortly after the men went into the
sewer tunnel rain began to fall. When
1t intensified to a downpour, the fore
man tried to send warnings to the
men below. He first lowered a Ian
tern into the manhole by means of a
rope and jerked it up and down. Re-
ceiving no response he wrote a note
and lowered it into the manhole. The
warnings were not noticed, according
to Dillon, the survivor who said that
the water came with lightning quick
ness, noisy cataract against which
the four men could do nothing, and
Dillon was swept for blocks through
the sewer tunnel into the Mississippi
river where he expelled into the river
with just enough strength to hoist
himself to the river bank. The miss
ing men are Gothard Carlson, Ernold
Bell and August Anglade.

frankie and Johnny

FRANKIE and Johnny" was
once song that was heard in
the better SpeakeaSieS or at apart
nent parties when the going got
rough.
This season Jack Kirkland
husband of Nancy Carroll'-d1S-
covered in the scorching lyrics the
germ of a play and turned 1t out.
The movie stars bank account is
credited by Broadway with financ-
ing the hot drama. Police in the
New York hinterlandS found the
Kirkland play Objectionable and
caused some annoyance before
certain lines and business were
deleted. Broadway took the play
with a yawn and it has every
inication Of an early flop, being
just now in the process Of almost
complete recaSting.
"FIer Man, the Pathe picture
which comes to Keith's next week
with Helen Twelvetrees and Mar
jorie Rambeau, Is a movie YER
sion of the FRANKIE and Johnny"
song. However. this script was
innocuous enough to slip by the
Will Hays office and is labeled
by previewers as lurid but inof-
fensive.
Helen Twelvetrees, who clicked
in the picture, has been advised
by Pathe to shorten her name if
she expects to see it in the illumi-
mated theater signs. She is pom
dering on the suggestion.

MACKS HOBBLE.
NEWS REEL
CAMERAS
By ANDREW r. KELLEY


1t seems to one forlorn backer
Of the st. Louis Cardinals that
Connie Mack's judgment in pick
ing pitchers for the world series
classics is better than the sense
Of showmanship revealed in the
management of affairs at the
Athletics ball park.
Connie it was-and if I am in
correct Clark Griffith will be
heard--who was back of the
policy which barred brosdcasting
Of home games on the radio,
policy which was quickly taken
up here in Washington and
caused WRC to abandon plans
for air accounts of the Griffmen'S
games this season at Shibe Park.
Microphones are barred at The
Athletics home sector except for
series games.
Now the news reels are barred
at Philadelphia. Perhaps barred
is too Strong a word. What hap
pened is. that the cameras and
sound apparatus machines were
so restricted that all news reels
abandoned plans to snap the usual
warming up scenes and other pic
tured incidents which go with the
october sports classic. At st.
Louis they will be offered every
facility and convenience. Accord
ingly il you feel moved to note a
lack Of enterprise when you are
watching the sound news reels
this week, blame Philadelphia and
the Mackmen management.

HAS
FLING WITH
COMEDY

Gloria Swanson-the emotional
actress--has become Gloria Swan
son, comedienne.
From her highly dramatic
mother role in "The Trespasser, !"
she has turned to the lightest Of
comedy in her recently completed
What a Widow" which was di'
rected by Allan Dwan and is now
at Loew's Columbia.
What Widow!" however, is a
far cry from the slapstick in
which Gloria found the beginning
of her screen career at the old
Essanay studios in Chicago. 1t
Is perhaps the most pretentiouS
picture she has ever produced.
The story, by josephine Lovettt,
with dialogue by James Gleason
and James Seymour, was designed
purely to provide amusement, but
instead of permitting the picture
to depend upon comedy alone for
it's appeal, Miss Swanson mas
given it a setting of smartneSs
and sophistication.
In the matter of clothes, she
has surpassed all her previous rec
ords. There are clothes for morn
ing, afternoon and evening wear
in profusion-clotheS suitable for
everything, from riotouS comedy
in streets to the well-ordered mag
nificence of a formal reception in
her Paris town house.
Modernistic sets, unlike any
previously shown on the screen,
were constructed under the super
vision of Paul Nelson, American
graduate of Beaux Arts, Paris,
who has gained recognition as one
of the outstanding designers in
the modern field. Nelson was
signed as art director and brought
from Paris to do this one picture.
In addition, Miss Swanson sings
three songs written for her by
Vincent YoumanS, Broadway COM
poser, who makes his debut writ
ing directly for the screen with
the introduction Of these num-
berS in What a Widow!"
Miss Swanson's supporting cast
is headed by Owen Moore, Mar
garet Livingston and Lew Cody.

lieves in boosting local talent, also
