romance and thrills, the feature
at R-K-O Keith's, furnishes the
popular star with one Of his best
roles of a vastly different sort
from those in which he has here.

When the parson leaves the train,
Chick lifts" his wallet. Sheldon
is attempting to return the wallet
to its owner when the train is
wrecked! Sheldon awakens a
week later in the parsonage Of a
small town near the scene Of the
accident. He learns that his
nurse is Doris Powell-Mary Law
ler-and his host is the Rev. Pow.

wallet found on Sheldon, the
FowellS think he is Walters, the
minister.
He let's them think so, and takes
an interest in the church and so
cial affairs in the community.

involved with a local gambler, Mar
tin. He has given $500 in I. o.
US to Martin and Is threatened
with ruin. Sheldon learns that

popular as a means of allowing in
dustrfes to voluntarily put their
houses in order are scheduled for an
upset. Commissioner Humphrey Of
the Federal Trade Commission has
given substance to a persistent rumor
that the agreements of industrial
groups as to principles OF conduct are
of dubious legality. The commission
had given its stamp of approval to
these plans. The ethical standards
to which industrial leaders sub
scribed, sometimes at heavy cost and
to the advantage of their competitors,
will probably be thrown overheard as
a consequence. 1t is reported that the
Department of Justice frowned on the
Commissions proceedings as a way
around the corner Of the antitrust
law. The committees in charge OF
political campaigns have reason to
fear that somebody will pay dearly
for these errors Of judgment in a
government agency.
As evidence of the charge frequent
ly made that Congress is outspoken
and fearless when the offended parties
have no redress, observers point to
the current turmoil over an open dis
cussion and vote on the nomination of
Judge Parker of North Carolina to
the vacancy on the Supreme Court
bench. The party leaders have in
formed the President that the situa-
ton is packed with dynamite, involv-
ing racial and labor issues. 1t is one
time that Senator'S would welcome the
return of the session behind closed
doors where the outside world and the
voters would never hear the true
story. It is recognized that regard
less of all efforts at secrecy in ballot
ing on the nomination, there are GER
tain irrepressibles in the Senate who
will break their pledges and reveal
the facts. Organized labor and the
colored voters are opposing the con-
firmation of the jurist because of the
character of some of his decisions
while a candidate for public office and
as judge.
