blush or apologize for telling you
that. This Alger touch in Young
Donavan'S. Kid" held my interest at
the Circle. OF course the hero
Orchard Dix is crook of the old
school but he loved that boy (Jackie
Cooper. Oh, you might say that
it is over sob stuff and too SEN
timental, the court room stuff when
the law steps in and takes away the
kid from his pal. That I will grant,
but it is corking good cry theater
to me.
Dix plays and overplays the role,
but he keeps the Alger touch there.
The fact is, the laurels go to this
Cooper youngster. When he smiled,
I smiled, and when he cried, well,
I got wet around the eyes.
You might accuse me Of being
oversentimental. Put yourself UP
against the Cooper boy and see
what he does to your heart. I am
willing to witness the experiment.
Approach this picture in the Alger
spirit and I believe that you will
vote with me.

M'NUTT NOT To

ANNUAL FARLEY
Democratic Candidate for
Governor Causes Hands
OF Policy.

Annual state conclave Of ~the
American Legion, to be held in An
derson, Aug. % to 25. is expected to
convene without the presence Of
Paul V. McNutt, dean Of Indiana
university law school and former
state and national commander Of
the Legion
McNutt has indicated he would
nto attend the convention this year
owing to his candidacy for the
Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor. He steadfastly has declined
TO link the legion in his campaign.
A subject OF Importance to mem
bers which will be brought up at
the state meet is that of redistrict-
ing Legion state divisions. The
Legion districts in the past have
conformed with the congressional
divisions fixed by the state legisla-
ture. The recent assembly redis-
tricted the state, bringing the dis
sension into the Legion.
Coinciding districts will give the
Legion more political power is the
contention Of one group. Others be-
lieye the present districts are I'M
wieldy and that there should be a
new system of districts, smaller and
more compact.
Several leading legionnaires are
understood to entertain aspirations
to various organization Offices to be
filled at the Anderson conclave.
Those reported candidates to,suc-
coed Floyd L. Youth, state COM
mander, whose term expires. are:
j. E. White of South Bend and
Joseph P. Zimmerman Of Indian
apolis, former district commanders;
and P. T. Haas Of TT. Wayne, pres
ent vice commander Of the north
ern district.
All are waging active speaking
campaigns before district and post
meetings. Zimmerman was runner
up for the post last year.
Ollie A. Davis of Upton, state
adjutant, probably will be reelected
to that position. One Office Of the
state on the national executive
committee also is to be filed.

AT times 1.-THE Lawyers Secret"
has a lot of suspense. Many Of
the scenes are overtheatrical, but
Give Brook does some sincere act

Some of the sequences are bad
and little confusing. Here is not a
great movie by any means, but it
does have its moments when you
will be sitting on the edge of your
seats. Charles Rogers does some
good work.
Some will think it a bad picture.
I found it less than fair at times
and good at others. A rather
mixed up verdict. What do you
think?
Brooke Johns is featuring Will
lie, West and McGinty as the car
penters. The act has been here be-
fore, but it remains one OF the
five best hokum acts on the stage.
That is the reason it lives. And
they do it splendidly.
