UNHOLY THREE
THRILLING FILM
Lon Chaney's Only Talkie
Comes To Capitol
Sunday


A voice that the world has been
waiting for a year to hear, speaks
from the screen at the Capitol
Sunday and Monday. where Lon
CLANCY is appearing in his first
talkie, The Unholy Three"
Choice Of his famous silent sue
cess for his debut as a vocal screen
star was happy. for it enables
CLANCY TO use five different voice
DISCUSSES. In fact. It is as difficult
for his fans TO guess what his voice
really sounds like as It is to guess
what the makeup masters face
Is really like. when not disguised.
The new Metro CT Mayer
mystery thriller deals with the story
OF q ventriloquist. giant and mid
get In a circus. who band together
In one OF the strangest plots yer
seen on film or stage. Adapted orr
gtnally from the story by Tod Rob-
Gins. q fiction hit Of some years
ago, 1t Is woven into an enthralling
romance. with the audience in
suspense to the very last.
Chaney's voice is probably BARI
tone-at least two of his voice dis
guises were in the bass and bari
tone class. His impersonation Of
the old woman, with the reedy fem
mine voice of old age, was startling
IN its naturalness. One could hardly
believe that the wizened creature
was a man. The ye~ntriloquial act,
with CLANCY carrying on a CONVEX
sation with himself via the dummy,
was perfectly done.
Aside from the interest in Cha
neyis voice, The Unholy Three" Is
Q magnificent piece Of entertain
ment, moving at a lightning pace.
and with eve a slack moment or
letup in the gripping air Of mys-
terry. Jack Conway's direction is
superb. and the odd camera effects
by Percy Hillburn do much to
heighten the mystery.
Lila Lee. as the heroine, plays a
"hardboiled" role until the final
love sequences. and runs the entire
gamut of human emotions in a
splendid performance, and Elliott
Nugent. Is the clerk, Hector,
gives q finely-balanced im%persona-
ton.
Harry Earles, the midget, grabs
many honors for himself. He is, in
cidentally. the only one in the cast
who was in the original silent YER
sion OF some years ago. He has a
decided flair for comedy. Ivan Lii
now as the giant gives a powerful
representation. and his scenes with
the giant ape are compellingly
grim. Crawford Kent as the defense
attorney and John MILAN as the
prosecutor give splendid character
~portrayals.
The Unholy Three, aside from
its being Chaney's first talkie. is
one Of the best screen offerisgs in.
a long time, from standpoint of
story. acting and entertainment. 1t
proves that CLANCY need never have
hesitated at the talkies-his art is
magnified a hundred fold by his
entrance into audible films.

According to the trade journal "Women's
Year" of Dec. %, one Dr. Joseph j. Klein, Kinds
nd Finke end assistant professor of taxation
Of the College of the City of New York, lactured
the Accountants Cub OF America the other
light on the duty OF accountan.8-"to help shors-
N the period of depression and hasten business
recovery."
The principal duty of accounts the venerable
Old skinflint said is To preach the doctrine
of the upward trend
We have often heard it said that while fig
lreS don't lie, liars figure, but this is the first
ime we have heard it formulated as the main
concept of duty of accountants
And JUS to practise what he preached, ap-
2arently, the professdr-speaking of the Bank
of the United Statas-"emphasise that the in
stitution would undoubtedly not have been per-
nltted to close its doors Unless the responsible
financial powers of the State and nation felt
that basic conditions could withstand the shock"
Then the professor went on:
''Thus, rightly interpreted, the closing of the
Bank of United States, sd in itself, is a de-
cidcdly hoDesul and optimistic sign"
You small depositors you who have lost all
you had rchbcd your bellies to save, can take
this cold comfort and try to pay rent with it. You
stand the Shock for the sake Of an Optimistic

Keeping Up a Reputation

News from Genoa, Italy, tells us that the
italian fascist government has launched 5000
ton cruiser, a new one, under the name of the
"Bartolomeo Colleoni." -
A comrade in the office who is a sort of a
complete compendium Of universal knowledge
revealed his prowess in that direction by point
ing out that the namet belongs in Italian his
tory to an ructious old free-boote born in l40o

He fought with the Venetian republic but
got better bid from the Milanese. Then the
Venetians raised the ante and he changed back
And so on and round about until he changed
sides about seven times. Not to be defeated
when peace was declared, he started war on
his own account.
Quite fitting figure for II Duce to venerate
by naming cruiser for. Italy had an agree
mont with Germany but when war came she
sold it out and went with the allies. Now Mus

The consideration of this problem will throw
light on the enormous and base differences that,
from workers viewpoint, distinguish socialist in
naturalization and naturalization from capital
1st naturalization in particular.
The most striking fact about the industrial
revival in number of capitalist countries is the
manner in which this new stage of capitalist ra-
tionalization is connected with a most vicious
offensive against the working class In this Of
fe.,sive. which is conducte on a very vide
'front.' the methods of fascism and socfal-fascism
are employed on I. very large scale. The prac-
tical ebolition of the eight-hour day which was
gained by the working class after many strug
giles during the Imperialist War and especially
during the postwar revolutionary period, the
of real wages. the growth of unemployment, now
assuming mass character, and the dspropor-
tionate intensification of the exploitation of the
proletariat-such are the obvious results of capi-
talst naturalization during the last decade. The
degeneration of bourgeois democracy into fas-
cisn, the brutal fascist pressure by the ma
chinery of the capitalist state upon the revolu-
tionary organization of the working class the
savage suppression by armed eorce of the econ
omic movements of the proletariat, the CONVEX

Of the leaders as reformist trade uaionisn into
direct agents of capitalism constitute merely the
necessary social and political conditions which
alone make it possible to put the entire burden
of postwar recovery" of capitalism upon the
shoulders Of the working clcss.
The greatest significance must espee.c'ly be
attached to the fact (Which + stron r cly7.;' q

show the most splendid examples OF capitalist
