Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., heads the cast that enacts the Tiffany all- talking feature, Party Girl,' show ing today and Saturday at the Strand theater. This Halperin pro- duction is a drama of the sensation al methods used to sell big mer- chandise orders. The party girr' racket is common practice. 'tis claimed, in large cities, where beau- tiful girls can be engaged by bus mess houses to amuse and entertain buyers. Tho house that shows the buyer tho biggest and best whoopee, rather than the house that has the best product, gets the order.
 Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., plays the son who finds himself married to a party girl though loving another. Jeanette Loff is the other girl, Ju- dith Barrie, the deceiver, and Marie Provost is wild whoopec girl, un- repentant to the last, when she is hauled off in the police wagon.

CAPITOL THEATEIs
The kings have it!

First it was, tho novel, If I Were King" by Justin Huntly Mccarthy. Then the novel became an operetta, "The Vagabond King Then the operetta was made into one of the audible screens first and most pre- tentious films under the same title -"The Vagabond King"
 Dennis King created the great singing role of Francois Villon, the rowdy poet of medieval France who became king for a week. That was in the operetta. Now he is giving the same portrayal, on a much more magnificent scale, in the picture, which starts Saturday at the Capitol theater.
 Critics have stated that this film, which is 100 per cent Technicolor, and which is rich in values that sound has brought to the screen, 1t is one of the most amazing yet pro- duced in Hollywood and that it will continue to be making history long after so-called feature films have been forgotten.

PARKER POSITION
 BELIEVED BETTER
Confirmation in Senate Depends
 on Democratic Ballot

Washington, April 25 (UP)-Be- lief that Judge John J. Parker of North Carolina may be confirmed as associate justice of tho supreme court in spite of the overwhelming vote against him in the senate judi ciary committee, obtained strength in official circles today.
 Some senators, however, dis counted these reports and contended many votes will have to be changed before Parker can obtain senate approval.
 Meanwhile, the administration was reported to be exerting extreme pressure on senators to support the nomination. Support the presi- dent" was the rallying cry sounded by administration senators.
 How much progress the movement was making could not be deter mined, but it was generally con- ceded to have won a vote or two.
 Tho fate of Parker's nomination, however, was believed to rest with the democrats. If they support him in large numbers it was believed to- day he may win out. Friends of the administration, though, could not count moro than 70 votes on their side even with the help of many democrats.
 The final outcome may depend upon how much pressure the presi- dent Is willing to exert. It was be- lieved by many that if he deter mines to put Parker across regard less of cost, he can do it.

REPORT INTERESTS
 NAVAL DELEGATES
Dispatch on MorroW's Chance at
 Senate StirS Comment

s. s. Leviathan, April D tPl- Members of the homeward- bound American conference naval delega- tion today read with interest dis patches from Washington to the ef feet that Dwight w. Morrow, Amer ican ambassador to Mexico. will be appointed immediately by Governor Larson of New Jersey to succeed David Baird, Jr.. of Camden, who has been holding the senatorship tenn porarily.
 While the ambassador continued to maintain silence on domestic pol itics, it is known that his plans arc being held in abeyance pending con- ferences with national and state leaders. The only statement which he has made on the situation was last December when he said he would be willing to accept Governor Larson's appointment when he had cleared up his work in Mexico.
 In view of the diminishing time between now and the opening of the campaign, it is not known whether the ambassador will be able 10 make tho trip to Mexico and it was said on his behalf that he would not dc eide this until after conferring with state department officials.
 Thus far the ambassador has made no declaration of position on any issues and is keeping his own coun- sel on them feeling that while he has definitely shaped ideas on these issues as we'll as prohibition, tho present is not the proper time for an expression of them.
 Having devoted his entire time in London to the naval conference, the ambassador has no definite plans be- yond the intention of proceeding 10 his home in Edgewood upon his ar- rival in the United States.
 : The weather today was splendid and all of the naval party took part in deck games.

SCIENTISTS AWAIT
 MONDAYS ECLIPSE
Prepare Special Recording Ap-
 paratus Along Shadows Path

Camptonvile, Cal, April 25.-fP, In peaceful Oak Valley. as silent almost as the phenomena they have come to photograph, Lick observa- tory and other astronomers are talk ing strategic positions for a. concert ed exploration of the eclipse of the sun next Monday.
 Within and along the computed line of the shadow which the moon will lay upon the land by passing between the sun and the earth at the rate of about 1,200 miles an hour the finishing touches are being given to months of preparatory work. Laboratories and dark rooms have been built and frames erected for the mounting of telescopes and spectroscopes.
 From dawn to dark and often late into the night checking, correct ing, and testing of instruments and apparatus is being carried on.
 Use Old Dance Hall
 Using a rustic building that once served as a mining town dance hall as a laboratory, Dr. J. II. Moore, astronomer of Lick, and Dr. D. H. Menzel, assistant astronomer, have made numerous tests of the density and strength of light and of the photographic plates which will be employed. Elsewhere along the line scientists from cast and west are giving d final inspection of appara- tus. sites and plans.
 Perhaps tho most perfect coordi- nation of radio, airplane, telescope and spectroscopc ever attempted will be brought into play to record the various phases of this eclipse and its totality which it is estimated will have a duration of only 1.3 seconds.
 To Photograph Corona
 Telescopic observations will have to do chiefly with the suns corona which to the eye looks like a thin reflection or halo around the solar disc" The photosphere or portion Of the sun which the moon will al- most completely cover is defined by pr. Menzel as "the layer which giyea rise to light--that part of the suns atmosphere where it begins to be opaque"
 With this Tight body" curtained off by the moon, the corona, which has s brightness estimated at only 1-500, booth of that of the sun, can be photographed.
