Carter Barron has a scheme

Managing Director Ravenscroft, of

Midnight Show
Howard Tonight

Mills Blue Rhythm Boys, with
Baron Lee conducting. heads the
special midnight performance at
the Howard tonight and Friday.
Mimic Cato, the blues singer,
scored a tremendous success in
Rhapsody in Black" with Ethel
Waters in the original New York
cast. The entire show at the
Howard is one of exceptional
merit, and must be set down as
one of the best offered in many
weeks.
Indications are the midnight

largely attended.

And if you wanted to say so,
I'll bet you'd agree with me-"
The lady shrugged her shoul-
ders.
II assure you, SIR" she
said. that you are quite mis-
taken. I am enjoying myself
thoroughly"
Once more she turned away.
But by this time the young
man was thoroughly warmed
up.
Listen. kid" he murmured,
I'm going for you in a big
way. Let's you and 1 breeze
out of here when nobody is
looking and spend the rest of
the afternoon by ourselves"
The pretty lady jumped to
her feet.

she cried. do you know who
I amp"
No" replied the youth.
"Who?"
She clenched her fists.
Il, SIR" she stated angrily,

OF this university"
The freshman gulped. Beads
of perSpiration stood out on
his forehead. Suddenly he stiff
fened.
I'm glad to hear it," he
said. And do you know who
I amp"
NO" snapped the lady.
"Thank GOd!" cried the
youth fervently.. And he ran
like the devil.
Al Capone's Son
Although I have frequently
been accused of it, 1 do not
seek to glorify gangsters or
racketeerS. I try only to re-
port the human interest that
I find in so many of their
stories. This is a sample of
what I mean:
Al Capone's son, now thir-
teen years of age, does not.
know of his fathers present
difficulties. AS soon as it
looked as though tl.> story
might break in the papers, he
was taken from the school in
which he was studying and
placed with a private tutor.
The instructor now lives with
young Capone, and the boy is
never permitted to read a
paper containing any reports
about his fathers incarcera-
ton.
The youth was told that his
father would be in Florida for
Easter. Instead he received a
letter; a letter from his father
that told him he would not
be able to get South at the
moment because the trains
from Chicago were tied up due
to a heavy snowfall. The boy
accepted the alibi without
question.
He has no knowledge of the
fact that he may not see his
father for more than IL years.

Bradley Page Finds
He Must Be a Villain

Bradley Page was rather amazed
to find himself a villain in the
talkleS. Page, who came from
the Broadway legitimate stage,
had usually portrayed straight
juvenile leads. The screen has
cast him in one unsympathetic
role after the other. In Love
Affair" his latest vehicle, he
again plays such a part.
Love Affair."" from the story
by Ursula Parrott, is at Warner
Brothers Metropolitan Theater.
Dorothy MackailI and Humphrey
Bogart play the leads.

Charley Chase's Aim

Due to the needless variety of
come edy characterizations and
antics, the first question usually
asked about Charles Chase is
What does he really look like?"
Well, at R-K-O Keiths Theater

that question.
He informs the audience that
he knows of that question in their

them-from that point Charley

Freshman Comes In

Freshman Comes In
For no particular reason, a
freshman wandered in. Al
though 1 would be the last one
in the world to believe 1t, l
have been told there has been
some drinking going on in our
American universitieS-and this
in spite of prohibition. I hold
no stock in the thought, mind
you, but I do happen to know
that this freshman was on the
verge of being cockeyed. Other
wise. why would he have gone
to such a party in the first
place?
The young man stood in the
doorway and surveyed the Sltu-
alton. He looked at the varl-
Gus women and turned up his
nose.
Nuts" he muttered. mot a
decent dame in the joint"
He turned to go. And as ne
did so his eyes opened wide.
There, in a corner, was some
thing really worth while; as
pretty a damSel as his youth
full eyes had ever gazed upon.
Where had she been all lis
life? He nodded with satlstac-
ton and staggered off in her
direction.
The pretty grille was engaged
in one of those conVerSatlonSS

BY HARRISON CARROLL

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, April IL.
The screen offers no more curl
Gus case than that of Boris Kar-
loft, an actor who has achieved
stardom in talking pictures with
out speaking a single word.
Mr.. Karloff played the dumb
monster in "Frankenstein" and
will be a mute again in his first
starring picture, The Old Dark
House." he has, of course, talked
in other films, but not since gain
ing prominence.
You'll see him in another weird
makeup in the new vehicle. Nor
mally six feet two in height, he
was built up two inches for
Frank n e in" and will add
three more inches for the charac-
ter in "The Old Dark House."
Six feet seven in all. He'll also
play the entire picture with his
head drawn over on one side.
Even niger tricks are
planned for THE Invisible Man"
In this film, Karloff'S body will
be seen moving on the screen,
but his head and arms will be
blotted out. It's pardonable, I
think, to wonder if, ultimately,
he'll have a leg to stand on.
Preparations are being rushed
at Universal for the filming of
THE Old Dark House." Melvyn
Douglas, remembered for "To-
night or Never" has just been
signed to play the romantic lead
and Gloria Stuart is taking a

is Ralph Bellamy, who has made
a favorable impression in several

his wife were leaving today.
