Burglars Fail
On Imperial Job

Another unsuccessful burglary
attempt was reported to the sher-
ifs office this morning, when the
Imperial police department tele-
phoned that two men entered the
Safeway store in Imperial last
night. but were frightened away
before carrying out anything Of
value.
The burglars forced the paddock
from the front door of the store
and entered. When lights of the
police car were turned on the store
the men fled through the back
Goor. They may have taken some
articles Of little value.

HERO

That the role of Yancy Cravat
in Radio Pictures "Cimarron," :"
now playing at R-K-O Keith's
Theater, is Richard DiX's greatest
performance is freely conceded by
critics everywhere.
The why" of it, however, is
known to only few Of his clos

Wesley Ruggles, the director,
believes there is striking paral-
lei between the Yancy Cravat of
Edna F'erber'S novel and Richard
Dix. the star.
Il am as closely associated
with the story as with Dix, as
close to Dix as I became to
Yancy Cravat through intensive
study and analysis Of the story"
Ruggles says.
MY knowledge OF his career
leads me to believe that Dix is
a breathing counterpart of Yancy.
A brief outline Of his career will
verify this.
"Yancy, is spectacular, vital.
charming, brilliant.
Dix Like Yancy
"Under more modern circum-
stances, Dix was as spectacular in
his youth as Yancy was. At school
he was a noted athlete and foot
ball star. AS a boy he was en-
We'd by his chumS for his knowl-
edge of Woodcraft, obtained by
numerous excursions into the
wilds with his uncle. His career
in motion pictures has been spec
tacular. No star has taken more
risks than Dix, who would curl
up and wither away at the
thought of a double

War With U-BOats
That phase of the Navy's war
time activity which dealt with

tale of how the American "mys

the German sea raider to its
doom. The scenes at sea are
Splendidly done, we'll acted and
unusually well photographed.
Woven into the story is the
romance of the American skipper
and the beautiful German spy
George O'Brien plays the easy
going master of the Mystery Ship,
sent out to lay low the U-174, and
Marion LeSSing is the spy.

from the Naval Academy and

The comedy possibilities are ap
parent. It is hard to believe
however, that Annapolis turns
out such naive-though cour
ageous-youngsters.
Some Of the scenes are laid in
the Canary Islands and it is here
that the Germans get in theil
dirty work. It is interesting to
note that the enemy are nc
longer pictured as ruthless Huns
but are now depicted as cour
ageous fighters, faithful to the
traditions of the sea and with
mothers and wives awaiting theil
return.
The stage presentation at the
Fox remains the same as earlier

SHAKESPEARE
LESSON in
MANNERS

A valuable lesson for insurance
agents, "go-getters" and other
business men who must find ways
and means to get in to see busy
executives in their offices, is to
be found in the production of
Twelfth Night" in which Jane
Cowl will be seen at the Belasco
the week beginning February 16.
1t seems that the secret of
gaining admittance when one is
not welcome is to accept every
excuse offered by the office boy
or other representative of the
person one wants to see, and con-
fess that that is the very reason
one has come.
Miss CoWl, as Viola in Twelfth
Night" very cleverly executes a
difficult errand. Her task is to
call on Countess Olivia and show
her how much she is loved by
Duke Orsino, the man she spurns.
Not only will Olivia not see the
duke, but she will not even listen
to any messenger from him or
let any strangers at all come to
see her because she is grief
stricken over the death of a
brother. How, then, does Viola
gain admittance to this countess
who keeps herself so out Of
reach?
How She Does 1t
It's really very simple. When
the countess steward tells Viola
that the countess is sick and can
not be seen, she replies that she
knows the countess is sick and it
is for that reason especially that
she has come. When the steward
then says that the countess is
asleep, Viola says she knows that,
too, and has come especially be-
cause of that.
Then the steward says that, no
matter, the countess cannot be
seen. Viola says that makes no
difference, she will see the coun-
tess anyway-she won't take no
for an answer. And such is the
persistence that she shows, that
she wins her point and is ad-
mitted to the presence Of the
countess.
But even then, she finds diff
cult going for awhile. She wishes
to be alone with Olivia, but the
countess is surrounded by ser
wants and ladies in waiting, and
for fear that Olivia will not allow
her to speak in private, she dares
not admit the purpose OF her
errand right away.
Delivers Message
Immediately Olivia asks her
what she has come for, and who
sent her, but Viola gives an
evasive answer. She declares
that she has set, memcrized
speech to deliver, and cannot
answer any questions that are not
in her part. BY declaring that
if she seems rude it is because
she has been received rudely, she
shames the countess into giving
her a private interview so that
she can deliver her message.
This lesson in how to reach
important people who barricade
themselves behind the protection
of impudent office-boys is one
that is more valuable in modern
times, when executives are so
busy. than it was, probably. when
Twelfth Night" was first written.

All Hope for TOwn Is Abandoned
As Flames Sweep on Unchecked

A thorough canvass of the
country surrounding the razed
capital showed that the quake
was purely local. Even homes
and buildings on the high hills
directly surrounding Managua es-
capped unscathed while the earth
movement swept the city itself to
pieces.
Hope was virtually abandoned
this morning that anything would
remain of Managua. The few
buildings left standing, including
the American Legation, were de-
StrOyed by fire or threatened by
flames which swept unchecked on
the wings of a stiff breeze. When
the holocaust is over Managua
will be nothing more than a mass
of ruins. 1t will have to be re
built from top to bottom.

since yesterday to clear the way
for relief detachments. Airplanes,

bodies as the flames roared and
cracked around them, with con-
tinually collapSing walls further
endangering the lives of rescuers.
Means and cries for help were
heard under the demolished
heaps in various parts Of the
ccpital, but the smoke haze and
darkness greatly hampered efforts
to reach the buried victims.
Unprecedented panic an d

martial law was Immediately
established and is being strictly
enforced. The Marines have
set up emergency hospitals and
are giving first aid to the
wounded. What the city needs
most are physicians, nurses and
serums to prevent an epidemic.
"The worst toll, 1 believe,
occurred in the penitentiary,
which crashed after the first
few shocks. Water mains of
the city were literally torn to
bits, and the lighting system
is smashed. Some effort is
being made to combat the
spread Of flames by counter
fires and by the blasting of
buildings in the path of the
fire., but they haven't had
much luck with that so far.
