PALACE OFFERS
COLMANS LATEST

Every producer in Hollywood has
tried at some time or another to
entice Frederick Lonsdale, the
eminent English dramatist, to write
screen stories dialogue for motion
pictures. LonSdale, who is a typical
Britisher, refused to leave England;
said he didn't like motion pictures,
and although he agreed to the
adaptation of his stage plays to
the screen, refused to write any
thing directly for the "talkies."
Then Samuel Goldwyn, dean of
motion picture producers, went to
London on one of his vacation
trips. He saw Lonsdale and IN
duced him to come to Hollywood.
That he was particularly asked to
write for Ronald Colman, a fellow
countryman and an old friend, was
one Of the inducements offered.
Goldwyn returned to New York and
Lonsdale agreed to follow. Indeed,
he boarded the boat at Liverpool,
only to get off at Cherbourg. He
had changed his mind.
Innumerable transatlantic tele-
phone conversations followed At
last. Lonsdale took ship for New
York, and finally landed in Holly
wood. The result, ten months later,
is the comedy drama, Ronald Col
mans latest picture, THE Devil to
Pay" which comes to the Palace
theater on Saturday. It is the first

ROAD
PLAN BLOCKED
Two Year Fight Continues
in Madison County.

ny 4 tHtbo OpcClnb
ANDERSON, Ind, March 4.-More
than two years of delay have failed
to clear the way for the paving Of
road from Anderson to Elwood at
an estimated cost of 100000.
Authority given Madison county
commissioners to receive bids for
the Dale j. holland road, which is
the south section of the proposed
highway, has caused demonstrators
to adopt new line of action in
an effort to defeat the project. They
have engaged attorneys to start a
suit contesting legality Of the action
OF the county council declaring the
holland road of public utility and
authorizing commissioners to pro-
coed with paving plans.
Action by the council was taken
at a night session. Councilmen met
earlier the same day and voted
against the holland road. The COM
plants allege that the night meet
ing was not regularly convened
session within the meaning of the
law as notice must be given of spe-
cial meetings. Hence any action,
taken at the night meeting, has no
legal status.
Meanwhile the county has in
structed Ward Shetterly, county
auditor, to accept bids on the road
on April 6.
The project has twice been before
the state board of tax commission
ers on appeals of demonstrators. The
first time the board disapproved a
$160,000 bond issue, but after re-
hearing the case several months
later authorized commissioners to
receive bids. However, final ap-
proval is being withheld by the tax
commissioners.

1924 Count to Override

BIZ United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, March 4.-Dis-
position of the perennial Muscle
Shoals problem has been passed on
to future congresses as a result
of the senate action Tuesday
night in voting to sustain President
Hoover's veto of the modified Nor
ris bill.
The measure, the second govern
ment-operation bill approved by
congress during the more than ten
years of controversy over the
Alabama power and nitrate plant,
was killed despite the fact its sup
porters polled a majority Of the
senate. The 40 to "a vote to over
ride the veto was far short, how
ever, of the necessary two-thirds.>
In vetoing the bill earlier in the
day, the President also disclosed
his position on the power issue as
he went beyond the merits Of the
bill to take a strong stand against
government ownership or operation
of any competitive business.
Senator Glenn (Rep., Ill.), was the
only senator to speak in support of
the veto. He denied President
Hoover had violated his campaign
promises and praised his courage
for vetoing the bill.
Sixteen Republicans and one
Farmer-Laborite joined with thirty
two Democrats in voting to over
ride the veto. Three Democrats
were aligned with thirty-one Re
publicans in support of the Pres
ident.
