he determined to write a pre-

How successful his efforts were

FUND FOR VIADUCT
URGED BY BINGHAM
Senate District Committee 0. K. s
Measure to Put Span in
Brookland for $500, 900.

authorization of $500,000 to build a
viaduct In Brookland at q point some
what north of the present Michigan
avenue railroad grade crossing would
be provided in bill introduced in the
Senate yesterday afternoon by Senator
Bingham, Republican of Connecticut,
and favorably reported by the Senate
District committee.
Chairman Capper of the District
committee told his colleagues that the
bill came from the appropriations sub
committee, which now Is engaged in
writing the District bill for next
year. that the subcommittee wanted
to provide for this project, but found
this additional separate legislation
would be needed.
Senator Copeland, also member of
the appropriations group, explained that
under existing law this viaduct could
be appropriated for without further
legislation if placed in the line of Mich
igan avenue, but that it has been found
desirable to swing the avenue north
ward at the railroad tracks in order
10 follow a new plan for carrying the
avenue over the railroad and at the
same time eliminate curve in the
avenue.
There has been considerable discus
sion in recent months regarding various
plans for eliminating this grade cross
ing. The appropriation bill as it passed
the House carried $135,000 to rebuild
the viaduct at Eighth and Monroe
streets, which is a short distance from
Michigan avenue.

"Show Girl in Hollywood"
DiselOses Ups and Downs.

IF "Show Girl in Hollywood" the
Il feature at Warmers Earle, Is an
expose of what goes on out on the
limpid coasts of California, then
hollywood isn't such an attractive
place after all. Still, this weeks
Aim at the Earle has the distinction
of being different" and very often
amusing. And it boasts the services
of that personable blonde, Alice
White, who bellies her baby face by
showing some adept bits of acting.
Perhaps the most vexing thing
about this picture Is that 1t brings
back that erstwhile silent movie
star, Blanche Sweet, in role that
is obviously foreign to her. 1t would
be, of course, to any one, but in any
case Miss Sweet, who used to have
one of the most alluring Of proflles,
might have been treated better. In
one of the big scenes she sits on a
sofa and without any warning sud-
denly breaks into doleful chant
that walls There's a Tear for Every
Smile in Hollywood" with the help
of an invisible orchestra. After this,
of course, she goes steadily down hill,
emerging, however, triumphantly at
the close by fighting of the almost
disastrous effects of a monetrous
dose of poison.
The fable that surrounds the ex-
cellent histrionics of Alice White
concerns her adventures in and
around studios out on the coast. She
is hired and fired at every swing OF
a half hours pendulum. Finally,
Of course, she becomes a star over
night, which Is just what the au-
dience has been waiting for, and
from then on there is sort Of mu-
steal revue, which is handled with
considerable freshness and photo
graphic skill. The ending, too, is
distinctly original AMI leaves pleas

SHEPARD MAY FACE
TRIAL IN DECEMBER
Life of Army Surgeon,
Charged With Poisoning Sec
ond Wife, Is at Stake.
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press
TOPEKA, Kans, April 19.-1ndicteo
here yesterday on a charge OF hrst-
degree murder, Maj. Charles A. Shep-
ard, SO, Army surgeon, will be brought
to trial for the alleged poison murder
of his second wife probably at the
term of Federal District Court opening
in Kansas City next December !.
The Federal grand jury returned the
indictment after several days OF investl-
cation of the Governments charge that
Maj. Shepard poisoned his wife at Fort
Riley, Kans., last June as the result
of an infatuation for pretty 23-year-
old stenographer, Miss Grace Brandon
of San Antonio, Tex.
Held in Jail at Denver since his arrest
there last month, the Army officer will
be returned to Kansas after removal
orders are approved by the Federal Dis
trict Court of Colorado.
Bond was fixed at $4,000. Shepard
has remained in jail at Denver, al
though the court there had agreed to
his release in $4,000 bond and later
reduced the amount to $17,500 pending
action by the grand jury.
OF Kansans, Maj Shepards life will be
at stake. The State long ago abolished
capital punishment, but under Federal
statutes the death sentence Is manda-
tory in event of conviction unless the
jury recommends life imprisonment
The Government took jurisdiction be-
cause the alleged crime occurred on
Government property.

LETTER ON HOOVER
DRY STAND CALLED
Expression of Presidents
Doubt Ordered Taken From
Wet Organizations Files.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A letter expressing the opinion that
President Hoover is beginning to doubt
the possibility of enforcing the dry laws
will be an important piece OF evidence
when the Senate lobby committee re-
sumes next Tuesday its investigation of
the Association Against the Prohibition
Amendment.
The communication was taken from
the files of the association, under sub
poena. together with numerous other
documents. 1t was written in February
by William H. Stayton, chairman OF
the board of the association, to Charles
S. Wood of Philadelphia, vice presi-
dent of the wet organization.
My own feeling is, as talk to SEN
ators, members of Congress and public
officials here, that Mr.. Hoover is begin
ming to doubt whether prohibition can
be enforced" the letter said. He wants
to take plenty of time to consider it,
but he is being abused little too
much"
The letter was marked absolutely
confidential" Henry H. Curran, presi-
dent of the association, declined to pro-
duce the files voluntarily, saying that
many of the letters it contained were
of such confidential nature that he
was bound to protect them.
Curran, who spent the last three days
on the committee witness stand and was
vigorously cross-examined on the ac-
tivities of the association, will continue
his testimony when the hearings are
resumed next week. The committee is
investigating all organizations pre-
dominantly identified with the wet or
dry side of the prohibition issue.
From Curran it was learned that the
association contemplates an expendi-
ture of approximately 100000 this
year, and that last year it spent $427,
213. The wet leader denies that the
association has engaged in lobbying.
Bobbed hair has been the fashion
among Albanian women for 1000 years.

There are, of course, in the high
ways and bywayS of this JolSon movie
touches of the emotional that in
evitably characterize the work OF
this black-faced star. But in this
case, in spite Of the title, there is
less of the drooling whimsicalities of
mother love, less of the celluloid
glycerin tears, than there have been
in any of his other films. His songs
range from the reprise of that old
favorite, Pretty Baby" to the OPP
cratic version of "YeS, We Have No
Bananas" and back again to really
melodic bit called Looking at You"
All of these Jolson sings with his ac-
customed verve, twisting his face into
the grandiose caricatures that always
have made limitations of him seem
unfortunate.
The story that surrounds Nanny"
is less than it should be. 1t has,
however, nothing to jar the most
sensitive movie palate. Harmlessly
enough, it tells the life of the star"
minstrel, who in the course of his
pilgrimageS through the towns hits
the roof of popularity, falls in love
with the fiancee of his best friend
and shoots this friend with a loaded
DlSVOl WHICH, HAS UcCIl P1CpolCo Wy
an enemy for such dastardly deed.
In the course of his gyrations
through comedy, pathos and tragedy
there is the mother in the home
town waiting for him. That he
leaves her there for most of the film
is a considerable feather in Mr. Jol-
sons cap, as well as that of the pro-
ducers.
Probably the most surprising
"shot" of all is when AIS best friend
is lying mortally wounded offstage
during a performance. Instead of
Jolson's entry on the stage to sing
with breaking heart" some tap
dancers appear. and thus shatter
heretofore ironclad movie tradition.
Besides the unbeatable Mr.. Jolson,
Lois Moran does neat little bit on
her own. Graham McNamee and
his amusing version of views and
news of the world in The Evening
Star Universal Newsreel rounds out
an excellent bill. E. de S. M.
