Grandi on His Way to Capital
(continued from Page 1.)

Instead it was arranged for Crandi to so to Washington by train arriving in the capital be- tween and 5:S0 p. m. A four car special train was waiting at the Pennsylvania railroad pier at Jer- sey City and q large police escort was on hand there to guard Grandi.
 There had been in advance some fear of anti-fascist demonstrations should he debark in New York and travel through the city. Anti-fas- cisti and communists clashed here last night in the course of q meet ing where Grandi had been called a distinguished assassin"
 Two city tugs went to greet the Conte Grande. On the Manhattan were members of the mayors re- ception committee while the Lan- castria was prepared to expedite movement of the baggage of the visitors. The Manhattan tied up alongside the Conte Grande at 12:30 p. m.
 Grandi brings a youthful view point from the young fascist gov- ernment of Italy.
 Still in his 3Os, he has become a world figure. His personality has been felt in all of the major cap itals of the old world. His features, set of by a well-groomed Van Dyke and sparkling dark eyes, are well known to thousands in Europe. He became active in state affairs when he was 27. He startled conven- tion by differing with the fascist program. Many resented his speech but Premier Mussolini ordered si- lence, permitted Grandi to continue and since then has aided Grandi to the high post of foreign minister.
 All of his conversations with President Hoover will be in Eng fish. He speaks Italian. French and English fiuently.

Rogers Funny In
Latest Picture

Following the same line of comic
satire and irony which has made
his daily squlb in the papers such
a success, VIII Rogers scores an
other hit in Ambassador Bill" his
latest picture which opened last
night at Fox Imperial theatre and
will hold over tonight and Tues
day night.
AS an American ambassador to a
mythical kingdom, VIII has broad
field in which to sharp-shoot at
senators, members of congress, the
Republicans, depression and the
general run of topics in which he
finds so much humor.
He drops back a bit to his range
days when he does a bit of roping
in his present film, and would
probably be shot if he appeared in
Claremore. Oklahoma, in the full
dress suit which his role calls for
him to wear. However, he balks at
knee breeches for court costume and
gets a few funny quips out of the
incident.
While the picture is all Rogers, he
has an adequate supporting cast
headed by Greta Nissen, and the
picture is an enjoyable one as are
all of Rogers efforts.
