EARL cURzoN

LONDON - The sudden with drawal of Sir Oswald Mosley, mill | lionaire Socialist, from Ramsay MacDonald's Cabinet is expected to. prove a staggering blow to the Labor Governments chances in the next election.
 Dissatisfaction wfJn MacDonald's metrods of dealing with the un- employment situation-paramoun. issue in British politics today-re- suited in Sir Oswald abruptly quit ting his Cabinet post of Chancel- Tor for the Duchy of Lancaster.
 Mosley is the fabulously wealthy, baronet who amazed the entire British Empire a few years ago by announcing that he and his wife, Lady Cynthia Mosley, has been won over to the Socialist cause.
 The move resulted in the es- arrangement of the two young aris- tocrats from their respective fam ilies Sir Oswald's Tory father severed all relations with his son at that time.
 Lady. Cynthia is the. daughter of that famous statesman, the late Earl Curzon, and his first wife, the former Mary Letter, the Chi cago heiress. Part of the enormous fortune her grandfather, Levi z. Letter, great American grain king, left in his will was bequeathed to Lady Cynthia, now a Labor mem Der of Parliament.
 Her husband is reported to have quit the Cabinet so he could freely criticize MacDonald's much debat- ed unemployment policy. Political leaders say the Prime Minister of fered Sir Oswald the important post of Minister of Mines if he would stand by him in the coming by elections.
 Minister Ben Turner, the pres ent chieftain of the Mines Depart ment, is suffering i'll health and is expected to resign any day.
 But Sir Oswald chose to sever all connections with his leader. Coming on top of the recent split in the Labor side of the House of Commons, the move is looked upon as definite proof that there is a critical break in the Socialist ranks.
 The Chancellorship of the Duchy of Lancaster, which Sir Oswald has

FATHERS DAY.
 IS TOMORROW

Father will have nis cay, Sunday.
 That will be one day, when it won't be good form to say: Let Dad do it." There'll be fried chicken on the platter and thick shortcake, and if Father is so inclined maybe he'll go fishing or out the Glacier Highway.
 Gifts will probably be given to Dad tomorrow, anything, just to let him know he is appreciated and kid-dom might give him chance to tell some of the truths he's learned about the same life young sters are plunging into. Perhaps he'd think he was getting pres- ent if he was given 8 chance to tell about his experiences, etc.

% Q . . . . THE LAST WARNING" . . AT PALACE SUNDAY c

The lure of the saay y5ttel ious-the fascination of the unknown--and the love of the world to solve crime pr0blems-all of these partly ex- plain the popularity of Universals mystery picture. "T'he Last Warn ing" at the Palace starting Sum- day night. 8
 The Last Warning" by Thomas F. Fallon was one of the most Suc- cessful mystery plays ever to be seen on Broadway. It was staged from the book, The House of Fear" by Wadsworth Camp. The motion picture was based on the play
 All the ingredients of mystery have been jammed into the photo play. Mystery and terror which bring forth screams from the audi ence and laughter-not the laughter that farce comedy produces-but the almost hysterical laughter of highly keyed nerves stimulated by relief from a fearful situation.
 The story is set in theatre-a show house which has been closed ever since the murder and disap- pearance of the body of the star in the midst of performance. Af- ter five years the spooky old thea ter is reopened for rehearsals Of of the original fatal play, with the same cast which had formerly en- acted it. Then strange things hap pen as the ghost of the dead star begins to walk and warns the play CTS against re-enacting the play.

 The Labor Party admits that the defection of Sir Oswald may have spectacular effect on the coming general elections, upon which the fate of the Macdonald Government will depend.
 As one of England's most prom ising young statesmen and an ex- Cabinet member, the leveling of Sir Oswalds oratorical guns on his chief may lose the Socialists thou sands of sorely needed votes.
