CUTTING TREES
DEFENDED

Plans for the development Of

with the majesty Of the Capitol
Building to which 1t leads, ac-

of the Capitol.
Backing up Clifford Lanham,
District superintendent of trees
and parking. Mr.. Lynn reminded
that some of the old tulip poplar
trees planted years ago are set far
back from the pavement, are 100
feet apart, and will lend them
selves admirably to development
plans for thu thoroughfare.
Mr.. Lanham pointed out, IN
answer to numerous complaints
against the destruction Of the
elm trees on this street, that in
many cases the tree roots have
become so intertwined around
water pipes and conduits that
the trees cannot be transplanted,
but must be cut down.

MOON GRAVITY

NEW YORK, Nov. IS QN.S)
Precision measurements so deli
cate that the moons gravita'
tional pull on the pendulum of a
clock can be observed and calcu-
lated have just been completed
here.
The measurements are so exact
that is may be possible for
mathematician to estimate the
additional amount of energy re-
uuired by an individual in stand
ing erect to counteract the moons
gravitational pull when it is near
the horizon, either setting or ris-
ing.
Additional calculations may
show how much people vary in
weight with the moon overhead
or at the opposite side OF the
earth.
The amazing precision measure
ments were conducted on the
three most accurate astronomical
clocks in the world" These clocks
are owned by Alfred L. Loomis,

In considering this, the Con-

which prevailed last June at the

Subsequent events have proved
that the announcement of this

a complete change of administra-

ADOLPHE MENJOU
 IN NEW ROLE
Suave Stars acting Ability Gets Him
 Part of Hard Boiled Editor

Adolphe Menjou, who has been playing drawing room" roles ever since "A Woman of Paris" will be seen in a radically different type of characterization in "The Front Page" Howard Hughes newspaper thriller which opens at the Fox Poli Palace theater Sunday
 It is difficult to imagine Menjou in any other category than that of the suave and sophisticated Beau Brummel," because he has given these characterizations brilliant and distinctiveness all his own. Rare ly, if ever, has the well-tailored Adolphe been equalled in roles of this type.
 But as a matter of fact, Menjou has had years of experience in all sorts of roles, and it was only be- cause the public came to enjoy him in the one classification that prolu- cers hesitate to risk putting him in anything else.
 But Howard Hughes, the pro- ducer who is different, and Lewis Milestone, the director with ad- vanced ideas, recognized in Menjou ready-made actor for the leading role in "The Front Page" that of the dapper but diabolical Walter Burns, managing editor-who con cells ruthless lust for power, and a foucefulness that will not be de- nied, beneath the smiling manner of a man of the world.
 And in this picturesque portrayal Of the dynamic, quick-thinking and fast talking newspaperman Menjou not only proves that he is a great actor and not great type, but turns in a performance which metropolitan critics acclaim one of the outstand- ing circle acclaim one of the out standing in history of pictures.
 Menjou is surrounded by stellar cast in this mile-a-minute comedy drama of stage newspaperdom. Pat O'Brien, ex-Broadway stage star, plays the part of Hildy Johnson, crack police reporter at odds with Burns his newspaper boss. and Mary Brain is the leading lady between whom and Hildy there is an unique love interest.

DOROTHY MACKAILL IN PARTY HUSBAND' CONTINUES TO
 THRILL PATRONS OF
 WARNER RROS, STATE

Party Husband" the comedy drama of experimental marriage starring Dorothy Mackaill, now at the Warner Bros State theater, brings up some interesting marriage statistics.
 Those who know say that sixty per cent of the Americans of mar riagable age have taken advantage of the possibilities for what is known as connubial felicity. In ad- dition to the courageous sixty per cent, eight per cent are widowed and one per cent divorced. Of the remaining thirty-one per cent, all but a fraction ofg one per cent are vitally interested either in trying to get in, of finding reasons why they should stay out. The other half of one per cent isn't interested in the oakland chain. probably never heard of it, nor of the movies either.

The theme is the spirit which led to the revolution, as typified by the birth of La Marseillaise" itself.

BILLIE DOVE IN 1.-THE LADY WHO DARED" HEADLINING
 PROGRAM AT THE STRAND

Billie Dove scores another drama tic hit in The Lady Who Dared" which opened yesterday at the Warner Bros Strand theater, head lining a deluxe double feature pro- gram.
 Sidney Blackmer, who has scored so many successes on the screen lately since he left the New York stage, takes the part of an American consul Charles Townsend, in a South American city. He finds him. self exceedingly busy, and to cer- tain extent neglects his beautiful wife-Miss Dove-with the result that she drifts easily, in the languid atmosphere of the city, into the acquaintanceship of Jack Norton (Conwya Tearle, a polished man who pays her great deal of at tention, but who in reality IS big smuggler of diamonds and other things. At first his idea is merely to further hris criminal courses through social contact with the con- sul and his wife, but in time he falls violently in love with her, and she through her husbands neglect, cares for him to a certain extent, though she is still loyal wife.
 JuQlLH tOSSclii, IChicihpSiC0 iioiii ''The Rogue Song" and Toast of the Legion" is a partner in the criminal gang,fi and a sweetheart of Norton's She not only sees him slipping away. but sees the possibility of big coup for the gang, through their influence on the consuls wife vanishing.
 She frames Margaret Town send (Billie Dove) to get her into a compromising position with Norton. hoping through blackmail to be able to obtain favors from the consul. How the story works out proves a highly surprising melodrama.
 The picture is fast moving. and shows Miss Dove to great advantage as dramatic actress. William Beaudine directed 1t from the story by Kenneth Saunders, which For resf Halsey and Kathryn Seola pre- pared for the screen. Lloyd ingra- ham and Cosmo Kyrle Bellew. the
