NEW TRAVESTY
NOW AT APOLLO

Victor McLaglen, Ell Brendel, the
quaint Swede comedian, Fiji Dor
say, the petite Parisienne who
scored a triumph in support Of Will
Rogers in They Had to See Paris"
and Polly Moran, comprise a quar-
tet Of featured players in the latest
Fox Movietone all-talking and sing
ing comedy production. Hot for
Paris" the attraction at the Apollo
starting today. The picture was di-
rected by Raoul Walsh, who also
wrote the story.
Hot for Paris is said to fairly
sizzle with racy romance and hilari-
Gus merriment. MCLaglen is cast as
John Patrick Duke, mate of an
Australian windjammer. Ell Bren-
del is his fellow Sailorman and pal,
Alex Olson. Duke has come into a
fortune through being the holder
Of the winning ticket at the Grand
Prix Sweepstakes, but he is not
aware of it when his ship docks at
Havre after a long cruise.
After long and persistent efforts
race officials had succeeded in
identifying the winner and an agent
is on hand at Havre to notify Duke
of his suddenly acquired wealth. On
a previous visit to the port Duke
had gotten into trouble and he
rather expected the police to be on
the lookout for him.
Accordingly when the mate heard
a strange inquiring for him he
wasted no time on explanations but
promptly beat 1t" accompanied by
his friend Alex. The merry chase
which follows throws the two, by
accident, in company with Fiji Du-
pre-, portrayed by Miss Dorsay, and
her sister, Babette, a bride-to-be
enacted by Yola D'Avril.
They are invited to Babette's
wedding where they reveal them
selves as a pair of gay Don JuanS,
and the fun reaches its climax in
some of the most laughable situa-
tions yet devised for the "talkieS."
In the cast are Lennox Pawle,
George Fawcette, Charles Judels,
Eddie Dillon, Agostino Borgato,
Anita Murray and Dave Wales. The
program includes Horace Heidi and
his Californians in Musical Moods"
and Eddie Miller, THE One Man
Quartet Vitaphone acts, and
Movietone news reels.

Nifty Title

"a Sailors Sweetheart" is the,
tentative title of Dolores Del Rios
first talking picture, which goes
into production this week at the
United Artists studio in Hollywood.
Edmund Lowe, the Sergeant Quirt
to Miss Del Rios Charmaine in
What Price Glory" is the sailor.
The film is based on an original
story by John Farrow, The Bad
One" adapted by Carey Wilson and
being directed by George Fitz-
maurice. "
Ullrich Haupt has been added to
the cast. He was shot in the back
by Madam x" shot by the revo-
lutionists in Tempest" and shot
himself in THE Woman Disputed"
He may live through the Del Rio
picture, but this is doubtful.

to Have Two
Plays Here
Famous Stage Star to Be
at EngIish's for Three
Days.

TTHEL BARRYMORE, under the
- management of Lee Shubert,
will appear at English's for three
days only, beginning on Monday,
Feb. 10, with a matinee on WedneS-
day.
She will present two plays here.
G.. Martinez Sierra's The Kingdom
of God" will be acted on Monday
and Tuesday nights and Lii Hat
vany's, THE Love Duel" will be
played on Wednesday, matinee and
night.
Helen and H. Granville-Barker
translated the former play from the
Spanish and Zoe Atkins adapted the
latter drama from the Hungarian.
These productions were seen in
Miss Barrymore's own theater in
New York last season and recently
completed an extended engagement
in the Harris theater in Chicago.
There is a. great contrast between
them.
1.-THE Kingdom of God" which is
not a religious drama, gives the
actress a role unlike any she hither-
to has played. She appears at the
varying ages of 10, 90 and TO. In
The Love Dual" she is seen in a
modern society play of European
life.
Louis Calhern is leading man.
The company numbers fifty players.
Watson Barratt designed the set
tingS and Miss Barrymore directed
the production. Mail orders will
now be received.

ager of "Close Harmony" plays the
part Of the kibitzer.
Charlie Davis and his band, this
week, are Offering something rather
original besides their stage presen-
tation. They have named it Eff
teen Minutes of Whoopee" and pre-
sent the boys in their own individ-
ual personalities. "Sky Harbor" is
the title of the stage offering.
A kibitzer is a person who gives
advice on any subject in the wolrd
free advice. He'll tell what
stocks to buy and when to sell them.
He'll recommend a "sure thing" at
the race track. He'll butt in o af-
fairs, tell why things should be
done in a different way. He does
coaching from the sidelines at a
card game. In short, he rarely ever
accompliShes anything himself, but
he's always OF hand to give some
one else a little helpful advice.
Green is said to be ideally suited
to the role of the kibitzer. Mary
Brian Is cast as his daughter whose
love affair is almost wrecked by her
well-meaning father. Neil Hamil-
ton portrays the role of the young
garage mechanic who loves Mary,
but almost loses out when he bets
all he has in the world on one of
the "Kibitzer's" favorite horses.
The Publix cast supporting
Charlie Davis in Sky Harbor," in
cludes Herschel Henlere, the Col
lette Sisters, Jimmy Ray, Nick Lang
and Fred Hughes and Cleo Floyd.
Dessa Byrd will be heard at the
organ playing the three most popu-
lar tunes sold over the music coun-
tiers in indianapolis during the past
week.
A news reel will complete the pro-
gram for this week.

brand new and poppy runway num-
Der; Mel Copeland, Bert Wrenneck,

LEGISLATION
Senator Capper's Measure
Is Indorsed for Passage;
Blaine Bill Is Objected To

The District Commissioners to-
day protested passage of the
Blaine bill to prevent Fraudulent
practice in the sale Of securities
and at the same time endorsed
the Capper bill designed for the
same purpose.
The Commissioners declared. in
letters to the Senate District Com.
mittee, that there Is need of a
blue sky law here and that they
think the Capper measure, if
amended in one or two particu-
lars. would handle the situation.
They believe that the Blaine bill
is Objectionable.
The Commissioners find fault
with the Capper bill because it
does not provide any organization
to administer it. They recommend
an amendment to overcome this
difficulty.
The Commissioners letter
pointed out that the fundamental
difference between the two meas
ures is that the Capper bill. does
not require the submission Of Sc
curities for official approval be-
fore they are offered to the pub
lie whereas the Blaine bill Goes
require such approval.
"The Commissioners feel" the
letter says, that the practice of
officially approving securities
under the Blaine bill would con-
vey a substantial approval by the
Government that the securities
offered represented subStan u
value and merit.
They believe that the practical
effect Of the Blaine bill would
be to create difficulties, delay and
expense in connection with the
distribution of sound securities" /"

HEARING MERE
GESTURE Of
GOOD WILL
Arguments Made Against the
Code by Mitchell Said to
Have Bad Effect on Result

Although the Senate District
Committee has decided to hold
public hearings Tuesday on the
Howell "bone dry" bill for the
District, there is little chance for
enactment Of the measure during
the present session.
This is the opinion Of observers
who are In touch with the parlia-
mentary situation in the Senate
and who profess to see delay for
the bill even If it should be
amended to meet the wishes OF
those who now oppose it.
Howell Insistent
Decision Of the Senate com
mittee to hold hearings on the
Howell measure is regarded by
many as merely a gesture. Sena-
tor Robert B. Howell of Nebraska.
author Of the bill. has been press
ing for hearings and has been
backed In his demands by lead
erS of dry organizations.
Powerful arguments which
have been made against the draS-
tic dry code by Attorney General
William Mitchell are expected to
be the rallying point Of opponents
Of the bill during the hearing.
Mitchell is strongly opposed to
the section Of the bill which
would enlarge the conditions un.
der which search warrants '.l9y
be issued for private dwellings.
Would Aid Police
He holds that this provision
goes farther than the national
prohibition act and that it places
residents Of the District in
worse position from the stand
point of liability to search than
residents Of any State.
The bill would also make every
policeman here prohibition
agent.
