 FIGHT FOR CONTROL
Theater Mans One Time PrOtege
 Now BittereSt Opponent

New York, March % (UP)-Poles apart in race, creed and tempera- ment, William Fox and Winfield Sheehal worked together to bring the Fox Film Corporation to q commanding place in the nations newest great industry.
 Now the two mcn-friends and associates for so many years-arc battling each other in the courts and engaging in personal disputes. This acrimony is but one of the dramatic highlights of the financial warfare over control of the organizations through which Fox cntertains hWn- dreds of thousands of persons daily.
 Frankly Sought Money
 Fox frankly entered the movie business because he thought there was money in it. He knew little about making pictures but he found Winnie" Sheehan. "Winnic" knew little about them, too, but he found out.
 For eight years Sheehan had been newspaper man and q good one. Then for four years he was sec retary to police and fire commis sioners in New York city. Then came the job with Fox.

'RONEY STARRED
 AT STRAND THEATER
Nancy Carr0ll's Vehicle Is a Riot
 of Fun and Song

Honey which is at the Strand Sunday for 4 days is a sweet show. Miss Nancy Carroll, the darling of Americas movie fandom, is the star. She is even sweeter than she was in "Sweetie" if that can be imagin- ed. The reason is that "Sweetie' showed her to have moments of ob- stinacy, whereas Honey shows her as a completely delectable character who is at all times lovahle.
 It affords fascinating entertain ment every moment. The comedy tempo is fast and riotous, The sons sequences are exceptionally pleasing to the eye and ear.
 The show, a musical romance with negligible amount of dancing. is based on the famous stage hit, Come Out of the Kitchen Miss Carroll is the daughter Of a poverty stricken Virginia family who is fore ed to lease her parental mansion to Jobyna Ralston, a wealthy widow from the cast, in order to gain money to pay off the mortgage.
 When the widow moves into the mansion with her daughter, Lillian Roth; her chosen prospective sonin- law, Stanley Smith; and her detec- tive guardian, Harry Green, there is a shortage of servants and Nancy and her brother, Skeets Gallagher, are forced to assume the roles of cook and butler respectively.
 A series of hilarious comedy cpl sodes result from this situation. Of course Stanley Smith falls in love with Nancy, even though he is un- aware that she is high born N-ir- ginian and not really kitchen menial
 With the exception of Miss Carroll and Smith, who, of course. are the romantic leads, every character m the cast is a genius of comedy and the picture is filled with their laugh packed antics. ZaSu Pitts is as usual a scream in the role of a dolorous .house-maid. and little Mitzi Green, nine-year old sensation, is ,eXcruciat- .ingly funny as the prying and pre- cocious Doris.
 The pretty love theme finishes satisfactorily. Tn My Little Hope Chest is the leading song of the show. Miss Carroll and Smith sing it charmingly. Another smashing success is Sing You Sinners" a negro jubilee song which thrills .with it's tropic rhythm and clever staging. Tho other songs. rendered in uproariously funny fashion by the comedy support, are: T Don't Need Atmosphere" Lets Be Don1- estic" and What Is This Power Have?'
 Selected short subjects of Vita phone acts, comedies and the Para mount Sound News will be on the program.
 Starting Thursday Olive Brook and Evelyn Brent will be featured in Slightly Scarlet" with an excel. lent program of vaudeville.

 Of all the more or less comic plays written by various English dramatists during the period of the so-called old comedies. only three The Rivals (now reyived), The School for Scandal" and "She Stoops to Conquer possess the yf- tality to survive as perennial favor ties along with Shakespeare's plays. And these three were the work of Brinsley Sheridan and Oliver Gold smith. Ever since it's first produc- ton, "The Rivals' has commanded the laughter and the affection of each succeeding generation of play goers, and the services of the most celebrated actors of their day. In this country, it was a constant fav- orite in the repertory of the Angus tin Daly's Stock company which held the stage during the period of the greatest distinction of theSAmer- ican theater. Jefferson started giy- ing it regularly in 1881 with Mrs Drew as Mrs. Malaprop and Maurice Barrymore as Captain Absolute. And later, after William J. Flor cnce joined the company, Jefferson continued to produce it until 1892. In 1896 Jefferson took the company on months tour of the country, playing one night stands.

SONG OF THE WEST
 CAPITOL FEATURE
Warner Bros. Yitaphone Hit
 Scoring a Big Success

A thrilling story of the west of the covered wagon days, with a glorious outdoor background in natural colors, is ''The Song of, the West" the new Warner Bros. Vita phone operetta now at the scapitol today for four days. It certainly marks q new era in picture produc- ton, for all through the gay sing ing dancing and the magnificent scene there runs a strain oGintense dl anna. Unlike most musical pro- auctions, "Song of the Vest can beast a fine and stirring story.
 Thers are many dramatic incl dents as the story unfolds and al- ways the spectator feels the excite ment and thrill that must have been experienced by the brave pioneers ot 1S49 as they set out in thei" crude covered wagons to blaze a trail across the desolate stretches and thus lay the foundation for the industry of this great nation, some of them made fortunes. More often tllSy ulu llOl. put dlNdSS lllCtS was the dauntless spirit and th.s Jone feels in watching Song of thp West"
 There is delicate love story. That of beautiful girl who falls in love with and marries a man who, through a misunderstanding is an army desertcr. Their fortunes vary as they drift westward and they finally land in gambling house in San Francisco. The boy is eventually given the opportunity to redeem himself and in the end we find him back in the army once more clad in the uniform he loves.
 Eiviennc Segal, we'll known to the stage but new to screen audiences, gives a delightful performance. She can act as we'll as dance and sing. John Boles, in the leading role op- positc Miss Segal, brings to this picture the same splendid voice anl capable acting that made him popular in The Desert Song'
 Joe E. Brown supplies some up- roarious comedy and sam Hardy and Rudolph Cameron both handle their roles intelligently. A picture you should not miss.
 On Wednesday a double feature program will be offered.

ANSWER FILED IN
 CHINAMAN'S SUIT
ShainWald to Fight Action for
 Grave Disturbance

Honolulu. March 29.-LP-Ralph Shainwald, brother of the late Mrs. Granville Sevier, of Iryington, N. Y, has filed an answer to d s20.000 damage suit brought against him by the latef Wong On, a Chinese. Wong On instituted the action shortly before he died, seek ing damages for disturbance of the grave of a cousin, Wong kank
 Shainwald said he fulfilled all legal requirements before having the grave opened in search for tne 1is- cera of Mrs. Sevier in an effort to reopen an inquiry into the cause of her death. The yiscera had been re- moved from the body by an under taker and apparently buried with the Chinese for lack of better means of disposal.
 Shainwald denied Wong Ram was a cousin of Wong On. declaring they were members of different Wong families. Mrs. Sevicr, wife of Colonel Granville Sevier. Of the 64th artillery, died in August. 1928. An autopsy last April disclosed nothing contrary to the death certificate, which set forth that death resulted from acute cardiac dilation.
 Shainwald for many months has been seeking second autopsy, de- claring death might not have been natural. The estate of s700,000 left to Colonel Seyier by his wife has not been settled.

Within 10 years he was made and placed in charge of production. Sheehan has an endless vitality, is always full of plans" To illus trate one item in his success Fox wanted D. w. Griffith to direct What Price Glory" Sheehan dis. agreed, assigned Raoul Walsh to the job and the result was box office history. Among his discoveries were Theda Bara, Janet Gaynor, Vic tor McLaglen 'and Edmund Lowe. Regardless of who was responsible, the film corporations gross receipts jumped from s21,0O0,000 ill 1925 to S72,000,000 last year.
 Believed Owner Wrong
 There were no clouds over the Sheehan-FoX association until Shee- han says, he became convinced that FoX's attitude on refinancing pro- ject was harmful to the best in terests of companies and to his own interests . as well.' Sleehan then obtained show cause order preparatory to seeking an injunction that would restrain Fox from re- financing his corporations through the so-called Dancamercca-Bl Blair plan.
 Shcehan charged that this plan would be s31,S50,000 more eNpen- sivc to the stockholders than the plan offered by Halscy, Stuart & company.
 | Fox was bitter in retaliation. He alleged that Shechan had entered into a bargain with Halsey, Stuart and with the American Telephone X Telegraph Company( the latter an owner of the Electrical Research Products Corporation, one of Fox's creditors) "by which he was to sup plant me, although he owns no sub stantial interest in the company. That is the bargain he is trying to put through"
 Charges Accumulate And thus charge and counter charge. suit and counter-suit go merrily on. Victory will be deter mined by the courts and it may be that Fox will be toppled from the l leadership of the organizations he built or may win his way to dom ination over an ever r-eXpanding busi- ness,
 Meanwhile Sheehan has reported that the Fox companies have report cd gross receipts well above the corresponding period of last year.
 The public apparently, doesn't care who makes the movies or who | owns the theaters just as long as there arc movies and thcaters to attend.
