WASHINGTON.-The nation is awaiting tomorrow's off-year cleo tions to gauge the drift of the 1882 presidential campaign and to learn whether the new House will be Dem ocratic or Republican. The Demo- crats are making serious threats for two of three vacant Republican seats in the House. If they win these, the twelve-year- Republican rule of that branch of Congress would be ended Of course, the national Re- publican administration has been a target of the Democratic attack.

Rebound" and Holiday" She
doesn't make faces or throw mud

This time she is cast as an ultra

she married him when Evie (Myrna

The fellow that Miss Claire cap

Miss Velez is cute, but she puts on
the sympathetic dumb act too
strong. And even when she kills
herself had the feeling that she
was just dumb enough to do such
a thing because her little son was
being sent to England to become a

The greatest defect of this movie
is that the director has padded and
prolonged the scenes beyond any
reason. This slows up the action.
One example of that is the drink

I can't say that Baxter is whirl-

ELECTION FOES
IN BRITAIN LOOK
TO KING GEORGE
Crown Expected to Urge
Retention of Coalition
Government.
BY KEITH JONES,
United Press STAFF Correspondent

LONDON, Sept. 28.-The POSSIBLE
fly that King George may advise
Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald
against an immediate general cleo
ton gained support today.
1t was believed that the king
would urge the present national
coalition government to remain in
Office until the pound sterling is
stabilized at a definite economic
level and the worst phases of the
present crisis have passed.
Such a decision would be certain
to please financial quarters, the
Liberal newspapers, and the power
full section Of the press controlled
by Lord Rothermere.
Chaos Is Feared
1t is argued that an election would
throw the country into chaos at a
time when the financial situation is
still very uncertain and that it
would take government leaders
away from London for electioneer-
ing when they should be at work at
their Offices in Whitehall.
Prediction arguments, mostly
from Conservative quarters, are
based on the assumption that ma
tional government led by MacDon-
aid and including Liberals and La
borites converted to tariff policies
would result in substantial Ma
tionalist majority in parliament.
They believe the National labeF
would overcome arguments that the
Conservatives had got control of
the government by persuading Mac
Donald to head their campaign.
Task for Nationals
The Conservatives maintain that
q National government would be
stable and able to employ any de-
sirable means, including tariffs, to
restore Britain's trade.
Lord Rothermere's Sunday Dis
patch pointed out that the COM
bined Labor and Liberal vote in the
last election, which would oppose
the National candidates, was $780,
600 more than the Conservative
votes.
The newspaper doubted whether
Macdonald and Sir John Simon
would be able to attract enough
votes from the Liberal and Labor
ranks to overcome this minority.

screen has ever projected and one of
the best.
It has been beautifully directed,
cast, photographed and the record
ing is splendid. The goofy acting Of
Miss Chandler is full of charm and
there is a fine Barrie whimsical
touch to her work. And she let's
you feel that there is tragedy and
drama just around the corner.
1t is this undertone or background
of death, tragedy and utter loneli-
ness that makes it such fine but
strange entertainment.
1t is hard to understand Nikki's
pals, but the work of Barthelmess
and the others really rank very high
from an acting standpoint.
I believe that it. is an audience
picture, although, you will hear some
of the most goofy conversation you
have ever heard dished out in a
theater.

face, as well as to permit her parade
right into his own home.
She should have given hubby a
swift kick, but I guess wives are not
doing that this season in the movies
because that would be hokum and
not high comedy.
Rebound" shows signs Of be-
ing directed by a genius. It is
mighty good and smart play. The
acting of Miss Claire is the last
word.
If you are searching for smart
entertainment, then put this one on
your list. But you must have an
appetite for it or you will blame us
for telling you to see it.

happen to Winnie is to allow her
to be dramatic and she is dramatic
and pulls the sob stuff in great
wads in this one. The fact is about
everything is sad about Side Show"
but Charles Butterworth. 1 think
that Butterworth is the most indi-
vidual comedian we have on the
screen. His devotion to the char
acter played by Miss Lightner is
funny and tragic, but every time
he opens his mouth he makes you
laugh. Not so with Winnie.
BY this time you will have dis
covered or even slightly suspicioned
that Side Show" as study or re-
cital of circus or carnival life is
pretty bad with one.
Well, that is my opinion. You
have your own, as Winnie may be

Arrangement of Walter Hender-

breaking into a dressing room at
the Earle Theater two months
ago and stealing jewelry and
money valued at $500, was con-

Judge John P. Mcmahon
granted the continuance at the
request of Assistant United States
Attorney Wilbert McIneney that
Sammy Cohen, vaudeville and
motion picture actor, may appear
to testify. Cohen was the owner
of the stolen property.
Henderson, who was arrested
as he was preparing to remove
from the Massachusetts Avenue
address, is said to have told police
that he was aided by a 14-year-old
boy, who climbed in a window of
Cohen's dressing room and took
the money and jewelry. The boy
is said to be in an industrial

DIG UP SUNKEN
PAVEMENTS
Staff Photo

A disappearing street." which
three times has sunk it's pave
ment to a depth of six feet, has
been uncovered by engineers and
workmen engaged in repaving
First Street Northeast from B to
D Streets.
The street is being torn up in
connection with the relaying OF
street car tracks in the program
for Identification of the Capitol
grounds. SteamShovels have thus
far lifted up three successive lay
ers of pavement which had been
previously laid at the normal
street level.
Capt. H. C. Whitehurst, of the
District Engineering Department,
and David Lynn, architect of the
Capitol, today inspected gaping
hole which appeared in the street
between C and D Streets. They
found that the successive settle
ments of the street were prob
ably due to faulty fill-in when
the railroad tunnel, which car
rieS tracks underground from
Union Station to the southwest
section, was dug. Further investi-
CATION will be made to determine
the length of the hole with a
view to filling it in before new
pavement is laid. 1t is expected
that the fault will be found to
continue for the length of the
tunnel
