Mulvane's political enemy, Henry
Alien, sometimes figures in the tslk.
Alien was just defeated in Kansf4s

qualification to bar him.
Mulvane would oppose Aliens Sc

In Aliens favor is the fact that
he stands close to Mr.. Hoover and

An escort Of city police will ac-
company the boys and the artists
from The Times Office to the Lyric,
where Olsen and johnson will start
their engagement on Saturday
morning.
No bill could be dull that is deco
rated by Olsen and johnson, so it
promises to be a great week for
patrons Of the Lyric. They bring
a large company of fifteen singers,
dancers ard comedians, and offer
a madhouse of hokum comedy, said
to be entirely new and foreign from
anything they or any one else has
ever attempted on the variety stage.
AS is their custom, they run"
the show. The whole show is built
around Olsen and Johnson and it
is high tribute to their popularity
that the remainder of the acts on
the bill are always happy to come
back and clown with Chic and Ole.
They call it a surprise party. 1t
is. From the time Olsen and john
son appear on the stage anything
is liable to happen and does.
Other RKO acts on the same bill
with Olsen and johnson are Mar

Bennett Of Canada, who is due in

think much of the salute fired by the
Coast Guard which sank another Ca

in the forefront of Canadian Red Cross

has been without a Minister at Wash

Doubtless Premier Bennett will be look

ator Smoot and Representative Hawley
