Arthur Meyer, of Switzerland,
and Erwin Hachman, of Germany,
members of the international
Olympic, who took complete
charge of the bob run last week,
Immediately cancelled the two
man bob trials which had been
set for today. The binding snow
would have made the course too
dangerous, and the Olympic Of
ficials feel that the mile and a
half course has done enough dam
age already without adding to the
list of injured. 1t is hard to make
sharp almost right-angle curves
when your goggles are encrusted
with snow.
Skating Race On
The snow, however, will not
interfere with the events sched-
uled for the outdoor stadium this
afternoon. The weather saVants
here look for the snow to stop
within an hour or two. and work
men are already preparing to
clear the snow from the ice
where the final of the 10000
meter skating race and two heats
and a final in the women'S 500
meter event will be conducted.
The mems fancy skating was
also begun in the indoor arena
and was expected to take up the
greater part of the day.
Gillis Grafstrom, the defending
champion, slid out on the ice to
go through his PAGES and the
crowd broke into a storm of ap-
plause. A week ago Grafstrom
was in the hospital with water on
the knee and the weakness of the
leg was apparent as he went
through the "rockeH right and
left" the first of the IL compul-
sorry stunts the skaters must dis
play.
Austrian Clever
Karl Schaefer, the worlds
champion who is equally at home
in the water or on it, being the
Austrian 200-meter swimming
champion, showed his class as he
nonchalantly went through the
difficult pattern of his first figure.
These two were expected to fight
it out for the title, although Roger
Turner, of Boston, looked very i'm

LAKE PLACID, N. Y, Feb. 8.
Leonard Seppala, who once won
the greatest dog sled run in his
tory when he carried diphtheria
serum from Fairbanks to Nome.
couldn't quite cope with the
strength and speed of a dog team
driven by Emile st. Goddard, of
LIE Pas, Manitoba, who won the
5O-mile Olympic exhibition here
yesterday.
The race was run in two heats.
On Saturday Goddard finished two
minutes in front of the veteran,

Joan Crawford's
Sadie Has Been
Tanned Down

Joan Crawford has progressed
far since her Dancing Daugh-
ters" days and has to her credit
some noteworthy dramatic achieve
mentS. But whether it has been
her very assiduousness toward cul-
tured perfection or whether the
fault lies in the revised script of
the well-remembered vehicle of the
late Jeanne Eagles, her Sadie
Thompson will go down as an in
teresting but not an eminent per-
forInance.
And the revision is the most
decided lack in this version Of
Rain" Heretofore it has been
q conflict of emotions wrought to
breaking by the continued tropi-
Cal rain; a play Of personalities
as strong and varied as their num-
ber. Five people, the reformer,
Alfred Davidson, and his wife; the
philosophical DR.. MacPhail and
Mrs. MacPhail, and the girl of the
SeaportS, are thrown together in
an enforced stay in the hostelry
Of Joe Horn in Pago Pago.
Sadie SucumbS to the almost
hypnotic influence Of Davidson
apd Davidson becomes a victim of
his desire for the girl he has saved
from her sinful past. But the
dominance Of the personal and
psychological elements. constitut-
ing the power in the original, have
been Subordinated to the story,
still interesting but not forceful.
Miss Crawford'S avid admirers
will find nothing amiss in her
Sadie with her garish makeup and
mannerismS, but. as an admirer,
this reviewer finds chief objection
in figure that is more of a pose
than reality. Walter Huston is
handicapped by his delivery of
the wooden lines. All fame and
glory to William Gargan and Guy
Kibbee for authenticity of charac-
ter portrayal. Matt Moore in
depleted part was good.
