THREE GOOD
PLAYERS IN MOVIE

Three popular Paramount players
George Bancroft, Kay Francis
and Give Brooks-are the principals
in Scandal Sheet" the new all
talking picture which opened an en-
gagement of one week at the Circle
Friday. Bancroft impersonates a
militant editor of a yellow" journal,
Kay Francis appears as his wife,
and Give Brook has the role of
prominent banker who is in love
with the wife.
AS the unyielding editor of the
tabloid newspaper, Bancroft follows
vigorously the policy of printing all
the news no matter how much it
affects the persons involved. He
even disregards the request of the
papers owner who seeks to have
him protect several friends who be-
come innocently entangled. in a SEN
Sational news story. q.
The editor, however. upholds his
creed firmly. Suddenly he is en-
shared by his own methods when
his wife and the. banker become the
victims of a front-page scandal.
They had been photographed by one
of Bancroft's men as they stand
side by side at the. window of the
bankers apartment. Although stag
gered by his wife's faithlessness,
Bancroft mercilessly goes in search
Of the facts and writes them up in
the paper. After this duty is per-
formed, he sets out with murderous
intentions, thus bringing about the
films climax.
Scandal Sheet" was written by
Vincent Lawrence and Max MARGIN,
veteran legitimate playwrights.
Direction was by John Cromwell.

VIENNA, April 3.-The tired
business man of the future
may take his MONDAY lunch
and his daily massage at the
same time, if a discovery by
Prof. Carl Stejskal, announced
here recently, materializes.
Prof. Stejskal declares that
he has discovered a species OF
food paste which, If rubbed
into the skin, will sustain life
indefinitely without eating.
The paste is so highly con
centrated, he says, that a daily
massage with six ounces OF 1t
will keep an adult in a we'll
nouriShed condition.
1t is believed that the dis
covery may prove of especial

others who cannot take food

STIR HARBOR GRACE
Newfoundland Community
Has Summer Dates Filled.
Five Events on Record.

BY the Associated Press.
HARBOR GRACE, Newfoundland.
May 30.-This community's schedule Of
Summer excitement is full, now that it
has been chosen as the taking-on place
for 1--WE impending transatlantic flights.
Ocean flyers are "old stuff" to Har-
Dor Grace, but the town isn't scphisti-
Gated to the extent of being superior
to them.
Since 1927, five major expeditions
have started from here over the great
circle course. Other Newfoundland
points have seen the beginnings Of five
other outstanding attempts to beat the
North Atlantic, the first having taken
place in 1919.
Three Old Orchard Starts.
Old Orchard, Ne. another jumping
on place, has witnessed the start Of
three major attempts.
Harbor Grace's list includes the ex-
petitions Of William F. Schlee and Will
liam Brock in 1927 successfully; Capt.
Terry Tully end Lisut. James v. Med
calf, 1927 (never reported: Lieut..
Comdr. H. c. Macdonald. 1928 Oost):
U. F. Diteman, 1928 Cost) and Capt.
Errcl Boyd and Lieut.. H. P Conner,
1899 down on Scilly Islands,.
Old Orchard was the starting place
for Lloyd Bertaud, James Dewitt Hill
and Philip Payne in 1927 (lost); Jean
ASsolant Rene Lefevre and Armeno
Lotti in 1929 (successfuD, and Roger
@. Williams. Capt. Lewis A. Yancey.

foundland points other than Harbor
Grace include the flights Of Hawker
and Griev, three Navy N. C. flying
boats, Alcock and Brown, De Pinedo
and Amelia Earhart, Wilmer Stultz
and Louis Gordon.
Newfoundland Is the favorite jump
ing of place because it's the last land
on the great circle course, being 900
miles closer to Europe by the air route
than Old Orchard.
The aviatorS who have announced
their intention Of taking of from here
shortly are Ruth Nichols Wiley Post
and Harold Gatty. John Henry Mears
and Vance Breeze, Otto Hillig and
Holger Hoiriis end Alexander Magyar
and Capt. George Endres.
