DOCTORS WIVES AND FINN
 AND HATTIE AT NEW GARDEN

Warner Baxtcr's newest picture. Doctors Wives" In which Joan Bennett is co-featured. opened to please audiences at the new Garden theater yesterday.
 Frank Borzage directed this Fox production, screen story and dia- logue of which was written by Maurine Watkins from the novel. "Doctors' Wives" by Henry and Sylvia Lieferant.
 The intense drama must be classed as a distinct departure from the usual screen fare in that both in subject and treatment the pro- duction Is entirely new. For the first time on the screen. the story delves into the private lives of doc tors, and their wives, with result that .s delightfully entertaining as well as novel.
 The. companion feature is Para mounts Finn and Hattie" with Leon Errol, Zasu Pitts, Mitzi Green and Jackie Searl ("Tom Sawyer's whining brother).
 Four funny people In forty fathoms of fun. They'll spasm you with mirth.
 The short subjects are Under q Cockeyed Moon and Pathe Review. Coming tomorrow is n lease engagement of Hoot Gibson in Clearing the Range. The co-feature being "The Right of Way" and the short subjects Mickey the Romeo and a new chapter of ''The Mystery Trooper" The big extra attraction for Saturday night is Grand Coun- try store.

I Ing turned out to be lot of Broad way folk that I've heard and seen time and again, going through bits of old routine. That's one of the things I'm afraid of; I'm afraid that after all the years of effort and pains I'll sit back in my chair, q white-h -haired old man. and on will come n completely bald Al Jol- son singing Nanny" Thereafter will appear the picture of q can of soup or beans and a voice will explain how George Conan lived to the age of 90 by eating Zilch s Palaver Food.
 I'll have to walt until fall for < football game, and then some sta- tic, or something. will blur the pie ture just about the time the win ming play is getting under way. Be all this as 1t may, there is now regular broadcast going out over Columbia. And none other than Bill Schudt is getting the ex- cellent break of being the pro- grams daddy.
 But outside of the immediate novelty and interesting aspects of few peeps, can't recommend the projection, as 1t now stands. as entertainment. Under the very best of conditions, the pictures were more broken, jumpy and funny than the very early motion pie lures. The gent who was making an inauguration speech should have seen himself. He was funny.
 Well, maybe I'm wrong, after all. Perhaps the machines should he put into general use during po- litical campaigns and everyone could have good laugh at their least favorite candidate. It might cure after-dinner speakers if they once saw the other fellow doing his stuff.
 By way of recording this inter- Jude in a quiet Manhattan summer season, several hundred of the New ou-see-everywhere turn cd out. And someone whispered that even if everything wasn't just what 1t would be some fine day, A regular program would make the experimenters step on the ether or gas or something, and thus stimu- late speedicr perfection.

NETWORK
wih Gilbert Swan

New York.-Having just come from the first WABC television broadcast, I'm going back to the dear old penny arcades until sci- ence gets over the jitters.
 There, with flock of new and shiny pennies, will while away the evening peeping into those ma chimes labeled "Tillie's Bath Night" and His Night Out" It's much more economical than the television sets I looked at. and easier on theSeyes. If the crank in the arcade machine is turned at the proper rate of speed an effect not dissimilar to television can be obtained.
 am not trying to discourage those far-visioned gents who are harnessing light and sound, and I'm inclined to envy the enthus'- asm of fans, bored with perfected radios, who now risk their eye sight.
 To be sure. there's little danger that any network broadcast will be possible for quite while They've barely figured out how to send what they've got within a limited range. And what they had the other night at the initial show

" IUtrS Jtuu
 Rome. UP) --T'ascist- like meas ures 10 insure Roman citizens eight hours of sound and peaceful nor of Rome.
 Even Italians admit that In ad- ditionaI to being the Eternal City. Rome Is also the noisiest city. The nature of htc city's construction. especially the houses and streets. seems to increase the noise.
 StrIdcnt Horns
 Roman taxis' are equipped with horns which would rival the most stfidcnt siren. Because of the strange desire of most Italians to walk in the str/ rather than on the sidewalk. cha ,nfeurs are obliged to make constant use of their horns. An Italian will not budgc an inch for one foot: n half dozen of the shrillest nature may decide him to get partly out of the way.
 This situation for which pedes- trians are partly responsible. has made Rome il nightmare of toot- Ing horns. Open exhausts, indica- tive of the speed at which Premier BcnitO MussOlini wishes the nation to live, also add 10 the general din. Paris. so travelled observers say, is a peaceful village compared to the pOise of Rome.
 I.askctfuI of Protests With these conditions in mind and basketful of protesting letters from restless sleepers, the gover- nor of Rome is preparing an order of drastic extent forcing chaufYeurs to place mufflers over their horns and exhausts after 10 D. m. until 6 a. D. Useless roaring of engines will make the driver subject to | fine.
 When these measures go Into ef- feet shortly. 1t k expected Rome will be like fl tomb after ten o. clock. The new regulations are based upon the right of Roman workers to eight hours of sound sleep. Fascism has already suc- ceeded In moderating and in many instances killing the night-lifc of Rome. but what remained was un- usually noisy.
