Carroll Is Censored

Earl Carroll's Sketch Book" re-
ported doing nicely in Philadel-
phia is offering an expurgated
edition. The Philadelphia cen
sor caught the show while it was
playing in Washington, ordered
considerable covering UP for the
damsels, chopped the night club
skit so that it was hardly worth
using, toned down some Of the
dialogue. Carroll, somew h t
wrathy, threatened to close the
show, but finally made the de
letions.
Censorship for the Carroll show
came from an unexpected source
before its arrival in Philadelphia.
Ed Wynn noticed a lobby frame
with a group of near nude beauties
from Sketch Book commanding
Photographic attention for The
coming attraction.
Take that frame out Of the
lobby: they'll think it's for Simple
Simon" ordered Ed. The mai
ager passed it off as a joke. Be-
fore the show that night Wynn
discovered the frame was still IN
the lobby. It goes out or therell
be no show, was Wynn's ulti-
matum. It went out.

Milton Sticks to Stage

Robert Milton who directed
both the stage and the screen
versions of Outward Bound
and incidentally did q grand job
with each-will never desert the
foetlights for Hollywood.
Dropping in on this depart
men1 Wednesday afternoon he
confessed he could make more
money as a producer-director on
Broadway than the movies could
offer. Sounds strange but he
hopes to prove it with his next
production, Volcano" play
written by Alan Rinehart, son Of
Mary Roberts Rinehart, which
Mr.. Milton believes is a remark
able first drama.
For Hollywood Mr.. Milton has
nothing but praise. He was given
an absolute Tree hand so he was
able to transfer to the studio and
eventually the screen, the rich
subtleties and tender emotions
which made Sutton Vane's play
truly great. Warner Brothers
have exercised their option for
another Robert Milton feature.

SAFE W|THS7ANDS
 THEFT ONSLAUGHT
Only S12 in Vault That Once
 Held Many Millions

Providence, +, l., April 2S (Up)-- The steel jacket of an antiquatcd vault carly today prevented burglars from obtaining about S12, the sole contents of q huge built-in safe which formerly held state securities representing millions of dollars.
 Long ago, before the present Rhode Island state house was con- structed, the state treasurer used the vault on the second floor of what is now the Congdon- Carpenter plant on North Main street. Never. while the vault was used by the state, had burglars attempted to crack it.
 Early today, however. with SIP as their greatest possible reward, safe crackers armed with an axe smashed through two walls of masonry sur rounding the vault and were frus- trated only by a steel jacket lining the inner cafe.
 A little later, burglars. believed to be the same gang, cracked a strong box in the office of the Franklin Auto Supply company at Broad and Stewart streets and stole S700.

Skin Kept Clear
 By New Laxative

Now that doctors know how often pimplcs, blemishes, etc, come from clogged-up systems there is really no excuse for having q bad complexion. Just do what men and women cV- orywhere are doing and keep the system Alcan with Feen-a-mnt, the moder1f chewing gum laxative.
 This pleasant new corrective for constipation is just the thing to use for the ailments that come from harmful Intestinal bacteria such as coated tongue, bad breath, or un- usual tired feeling. When you notice the first symptoms of these condi- tions, take one of these tiny white Feen-a a-mint tablets.
 Because you chew Feen-a mint it is effective in milder doses than or dinary laXatives. For the effective ness of a laxative is not so much de- pendent upon the quantity swallow cd as upon the thoroughness of its distribution throughout the alimen- tary tract.
 While you chew this delicious bit of gum the tasteless laxative it con- tains is gradually released and mix ed with the saliva. Thus it is carried to the intestinal tract smoothly, evenly, without shock to the system or the distressing after-effects 70 common with old-fashioned laxa- tives. Each particle of the laxative
