NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-Hipolito
Irigoyen's removal from the South
American political scene marks the
downfall Of one of Americas most
unusual characters. He served to-
tai Of almost eight years as head of
the Argentine state before the cleo
torate turned on him.
Emergencies arose early in his
second ministration-poor crops
and a general worldwide economic
depression, which speedily affected
Argentina. nation living from the
overseas export of foodstuffs and
other raw materials-and his fail
ure, in the popular view, to con-
tribute relief, was responsible for
countrywide dissatisfaction soon
after his Inauguration in October,
1923.
Made No Promises
Early in his administration, Iri-
goyen discharged thousands of state
employees but he dashed the hopes
Of other thousands who campaigned
for him expecting fat government
berths, which they had been led to
believe they would obtain through
extravagant promises made by Iri-
goyen's managers.
Irigoyen personally had made no
promises. 1t is said he never made
q public speech in his entire career.
Hence the part which disappointed
iob-hunters played in his downfall
actually might be attributed to the
implied betrayal of Irigoyen by his
most fervent supporters and politi-
cal lieutenant in the 1923 campaign.
Irigoyen's first administration,
from 1916 to 1922, was regarded as
a failure. The country's economic
establishment suffered, while
series of strikes kept labor in con-
slant turmoil and terminated in the
fearful tragic week" early in Janu-
airy, 1919, when a Communistic out
break drenched the Buenos Aires
streets in blood and thousands we're
killed or wounded before the move
ment was suppressed.
Started as Policeman
During the World war, Irigoyen
stood firm against tremendous pres
sure brought on him to declare war
against Germany, or at least to
sever diplomatic relations. The
armistice found Argentina neutral.
Irigoyen started his career as a
police captain. He taught history
in a secondary school, and perfected
a political machine that was to put
him in power. He became model
of the isolationists in politics. In
addition to keeping Argentina out
of the World war, he kept the coun-
try from active participation in the
League of Nations.

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Sept. D.
l. Il Business is picking up along
Moviana's White Way"-which is
just another way of saying that
cinema audiences are due for some
good entertainment this fall. Dur
ing the last week I have caught"
previews of three pictures, all Of
them coed.
These three pictures are really
worth seeing:
Monte Carlo"
THE Rap"
THE Sea God"
Monte Carlo" is Ernest Lubitsch's
latest contribution, and a very
worthy one, too, as is nearly every
thing directed by this master mind.
The film is very much on the order
of 1.-THE Love Parade" in which
Lubitsch directed Maurice Cheva-
lier, only Jack Buchanan, promi-
nent English actor, has the leading
role in it.
But, being musical production,
we doubt very much If Monte
Carlo" will be a box office success,
despite it's high quality. For some
reason-obviously because of the
number of poor musical films
theatergoers seem to be steering
clear Of this type Of production
these days.
However, the music and the act
ing in this film are handled as only
Lubitsch seems capable of handling
them. There is one selection, which
jeanette Macdonald sings to the
accompaniment of a speeding rail-
road train, that really is marvellous.
And the other songs, while we
thought some easily could have been
eliminated, never become boring.
Miss Macdonald is equally as
lovely and her voice is every bit as
good as in 1.-THE Love Parade" And
Buchanan proves himself very
capable in this type of picture.
n
TN direct contrast to Monte Carlo"
Il is 1.-THE Rap" Laurel and Hardy's
first feature length talking film. No,
these comedians have not given up
the idea of making two-reelers. They
merely wanted to experiment with
a full-length film to see how the
public would like them. If the
preview audience the other night
can be taken as a standard, the two
comics have nothing to worry about.
1.-THE Rap" is satire on 1.-THE
Big House." one of the most success
full dramatic films of the year, but
it's question in our mind as to
which will do the biggest business.
AS a rule a prison setting in itself
is sufficient to kill almost any
comedy because there just isn't any,
thing funny about being in prison
and if you don't believe that, try
racing speed cop some time. How
ever, Laurel and Hardy seem to
have their own method of having
fun wherever they may be, and a
prison is no exception to the rule.
IF you like thrills and aren't too
4 particular about the hoSum that
is injected into picture, 1.-THE Sea
Cod should give you a good eve
ning'S entertainment. The story is
that of young sailor and trader
in the South seas who is sort of a
bum-that is, a nice movie bum. Of
course there is a villain, too, who
tries to win the girl but can't. And

Bach Program in New York.

A BACH program, the third this sea-
"A son, will be presented by the Society
Of the Friends Of Music In New York
this afternoon In Mecca Auditorium.
The works given will be the Goldberg
Variations" played by Harold Samuel,
pianist, and the secular cantata, "Phoe-
bus and Pan"
Artur Bodanzky, who will conduct
"Phoebus and Pan" has assembled the
following cast: Editha Fqeischer, So
prano, as Momus; Marion Telva, con-
trAlto, MercuriuS: George Meader,
tenor, Timolus; Max Bloch, tenor, Mi
daS; Fraser Gange, bass-haritone, Phoe-
bus, and Dudley Warwick, bass, Pan.
The chorus Of the society, prepared by
Walter Wohllebe, and the orchestra OF
the Metropolitan Opera will take part.
Special warning is given that as the
Goldberg Variations" are played with
out pause, the doors of the hall will
not be opened for late Corners until
after Mr.. Samuel finishes. This work
lasts about As minutes. The concert
starts at 4 pm. sharp.
The Goldberg Variations have the
probably unique distinction of having
been written for a music lover Whe SUI
fered from insomnia. Their purpose,
however, was not to induce sleep, but
to cheer and tighten the hours of wake
fulness. The man for whose sole pleas
ure Bach thus wrote what is one Of his
greater works was Count Kayserltng, a
patron. Goldberg, who gives the work
its name, was Kayserling's private
harpSichordtst and pupil Of Bach.

THIS is my seventh season Of sing

gagged in getting experience In
another opera company on tour.
In my third week with that organiZa-

Juliet" The tenor to appear with me
had caught a frightful cold. His re-
fusal to sing brought an answer from
the manager, Quebec is French, Romeo
and Juliet is the only French opera
in our repertory. 1t Is that or nothing.
You must sing"
As Romeo has little to do in the open
ing act. his first stanZa WIS omitted,
and I began the love scene. His an
swerS were inaudible. Knowing both
our parts sang them. The audience.
understanding French, began to litter.
And no wonder. Juliet was passionate

as well as her own demure responses.
Presently, Romeo's whispering mara

The balcony scene and Romeos music

storm broke. The gallery was full of
college boys: They booed, they
screeched. But I kept right on.
Finally they stopped to listen. But 1t

A riot followed in the gallery.
Something had to be done. The
manager tried to do 1t, but unsuccess-
fully. AT last they listened to him.
AS consolation, he offered them an act
from "Rigoletto." However, the closing
act Of Romeo and Juliet" still faced
me. Quite aware that all the pande-
monium was on Romeo's account, not
mine, I was not going to take another
risk. AS Juliet, would have to lie
dead on the tomb while that tenor
