Heralds Song of the West. :

A FORETASTE Of what Washington
audiences may expect in Song OF
the West" the Warner Bros. Vitaphone
ail-color outdoor operetta, was given at
the Metropolitan Theater last week IN
a melodious interlude entitled "A Mill
tary Post" In which the effectiveness
of technicolor (natural COLOR photog-
raphy outdoors Is said to be demon
strated for the first time.
Against the colorful background Of a
Western post Of the Army, in the days
when the West was really wild and
woolly, Roberto Guzman, noted singer,
sang two Spanish numbers.
The Army post setting in its full
glory will be seen by Metropolitan audi
ences at later date, when Song OF
the West Is shown here.

sue another. A fine movie inter-
probation of a great play pre-
serves and even enhances the
popularity of the stage perform
ance. An inadequate film does
little for itself and hurts the pres
tige of the original. The camera
is a persuasive influence. It may
be a good agent If it knows its
business and a bad agent If it
lacks flnesSe.
One of the uncertainties Of the
theater is the element of perma-
nent appeal which often asserts
itself in connection with a pass
ing incident in the evenings en-
tertainment. A number in no way
featured above the other points
steps out of the general plan and
becomes a world classic. "Old
Man River" was among the num-
bers claiming its share of encores
at the first production. But it
was hardly expected that 1T would
go on as it has done and secure
the place among the songs which
throb with the universal heart
beat of humanity. The Latin vo-
cabulary puts it into verse along
with the dignitieS of operate In
depreciation and commendS "Old
Man River" as an example OF the
American spiritual created by
means of scholarly art instead OF
natural evolution. The Russians
have. taken it up as song OF the
toiler and given it a place along
with the ''Volga Boatmen." The
theater represents a world OF sur
priSes. It becomes the most fas--
cinating of all games because IT
has no rules that any scientist
can hope to master.

Audiences have made it plain
that they like to take their thea
ter very seriously, and Ethel
Barrymore, even when her play
is light, as in the case Of "The
Love Duel" does not permit her
self to be overwhelmed by flow
of scintillant but trivial verbaliSn
such as current authorship seeks
with such perfunctory diligence
It is one of the plays in which q
character may spend long min
utes seated and carrying on con-
versations which relate with CHIEF
Importance to the not necessarily
unusual mental processes Of the

Governor Doyle E. Carlton, with whom the writer apparently sought interviews, said he knew "absolute- ly nothing" about it. State Senator John Watson of Miami said he was ignorant of the matter. Attorney General Davis could not be reach ed.
 The telegram referred to Uly o. Thompson succeeding Tom Nor fleet, busted Miami judge, and that G. E. McCaskill would be appoint ed county solicitor of Dade county.
 Judge Thompson said, Tt seems that the telegram mentioning the appointments was an effort to de- ceive some one"
 "The telegram was dated August g, 1929, and the appointments were actually announced in the newspapers June q, 1929. I am sorry I cannot help throw some light on the subject regarding the meaning of the telegram and let ter, but it's all news to me"
 Norf1eet said he knew nothing of the matter. He was busted as judge of criminal court of record by Gov ernor Carlton in January. 1929 Subsequently he was sentenced to four months in prison for malprac- tice on charge that he returned gambling equipment to the owners.

Governor at Loss

Jacksonville, Fla, Aug. 22 LR - Florida's governor and other off, cials and residents, mentioned in a letter and telegram found in the eff fleets of Jack Zuta, slain Chicago gangster, today said they were un- able to explain the correspondence.
 J. L. Laube of Orlando, whose name was given in the letter as d return address, asserted he knew nothing of it. He said his fathers name was Benjamin J. Laube, and that he was an attorney of Gary, Ind. Last year his father and Frank Gross, Gary business man, came to Florida on real estate deal, he added. The elder Laube represented Gross
 The letter was addressed to a person identified as Frank" and the telegram was addressed to Frank Gross, Gary, Ind. Laube is public relations counsel for the Florida Motor Lines. He said he knew nothing of any arrangements for publicity as mentioned in the letter.

zU7A NOTE NAMES
 FLORIDA GOVERNOR
Attempts to "Reach" Executive
 Mentioned in Letter

/ Chicago, Aug. 22 P>-The lids of Jack Zutas strong boxes were torn from their hinges today and hither- to unknown contents scattered far and wide.
 Reams of additional papers and records were made public by the investigators, some relating to pub lie officials, some to gangland ac. tivities.
 Attorney Ben Laube of Gary, Ind, said today that he was the writer of a letter mailed to Frank Gross, of Gary, from Orlando, Fla, and signed "Ben'-found in the possession of Zuta, who was slain at a Wisconsin lake resort three weeks ago.
 How the letter got there, don't know" Laube said. T never heard of Jack Zuta until the newspapers told of his death"
 Laube said he had been retained by Gross, a Gary real estate man, to negotiate the purchase of some hotel property in Florida.
 I've been Gross attorney for six or seven years, and 1 made several trips to Florida for him last year." Laube said. He told me that some Chicago men were going to finance the Florida deal. The transaction later fell through when Gross could not raise the money"
 The letter to Gross mentioned that "my son made several attempts to reach Gov Doyle Carlton, Attorney General Fred H. Davis and Senator John Watson by telephone tonight but these men were unavailable"
 Laube said his son was a news paperman in Florida at that time. 'I don't recall why I wanted to see Gov. Carlton and the other Florida officials but it probably had some thing to do with the real estate transaction Laube said.
 Ransom Threat
 Another document,r described by the investigators as a police confess sion, told of the attempts of "Mops" Volpa and Joe Genaro, notorious Chicago gangsters, to kidnap and hold for s50o00 ransom man named Jack
 Helen Delmar, a New York night club hostess, made the confession. She said Genaro brought her from New York to serve as a lure. A tip- off to the police caused the arrest of the girl and the ransom plot was thwarted, the investigators disclosed. However, it was not disclosed how the confession came into Zuta's pos session.
 Another batch of correspondence, from Louie La Cava. one time Zuta ally and later a Capone gunman. was described by Pat Roche, chief investigator for the states attorney, as showing Zuta's power in Chicago.
 La Cava was sought as a suspect in the sensational murder of Assist ant States Attorney William Mo Swiggin several years ago. One letter from La Cava, Roche disclosed, ask cd Zuta to fix it. for him
 Police records show that La Cava was arrested in June, 1926, and that he was discharged as a suspect by Municipal Judge Joseph W. Schul- man, who has previously been nam ed in the Zuta inquiry as the recip- lent of a check from the slain gang ster.
 Zuta was friend of Frankie Yale, slain New York Brooklyn gang chieftain, according to the investi- gators. A carefully preserved busi- ness card, found in one of the boxes.

 A $500 check, drawn in 1922 and signed by Jack Zuta," was made payable to P. w. Rothenberg, form erly a deputy coroner and now a re- publican ward committeeman. An- other check for $2,0O0 was issued by Zuta in 1927 to Simon Herr, law partner of former Judge Emmanuel Eller,- who also was given a check by the slain vice monger.
 A picture of Alderman George NJ Maypole, taken with his wife and daughter at Hot Sphings. Ark, in 1928, was found in Zuta's possess sions. On it was inscribed: With regards, from the Maypoles, Hot Springs, Ark"
