LOTS OF LAUGHS
 ARE CON I AIMED IN PARDON US"
Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy Star in Hil-
 arious Comedy

Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, in full length featured produc- tion Pardon Us' will be seen in a preview at l o'clock tonight and at regular performances tomcr- row night at the Capitol theatre.
 Pardon Us" is a laugh frem s.art to finish. This pair, who are funny even without specially prepared gags" and episodes, run riot through an amusing travesty of the typical prison melodrama.
 There is no letup in hilarious situations. The pair are jailed when they innocently offer a po- lcemen a drink; they subsequently, make life miserable for their fel- lew prisoners by their naive stu pidity which gets everyone in trouble; they make their escape and disguise themselves as negro cctton-pickers; they get caught again and participate in a prison riot.
 Train Gun on Convicts
 It is in this last episode that they train a machine gun on the inmsises of the prison instead O.. on the keepers and thus achieve a pardon although the whole thing was the result of bungling.
 Laurel, with his baby-faced pout and helpless gestures, is as inimi- table as ever, while the corpulent Hardy has only to register dis gust to gat his share of laughs
 Wrong Tooth Pulled
 An outstanding comedy gag is the idea of having Laurel emit a "razzberry" because of some den- tad defect. When he finally emer- gss from the painful process oi having a tooth pulled, it turns out to be the wrong one, and the dentist is the first to get the razz again.
 The direction of James Parrott shows an eye for speed and an ability to get full value out of every comedy incident. Capable supporting players include Wilfred Lucas, Walter Long, June Mar lowe and James Finlayson.

 A slight gain in steel production failed to impart any appreciable encouragement.

BANKS REFUSE
WARRAN T s
OF DISTRICT

The banks are not inclined
to accept any warrants beyond
those now outstanding" was the
statement of l.. r. keplinger,
representing the Bank of Am
erica, to members of the Inn
perial Irrigation district board
at headquarters this afternoon.
kepiinger, Leroy Holt, o. G.
Horne and representatives of
the Bank of America and the
Security First National Bank
OF Los Angeles, holders of dis
trict warrants, appeared at the
board meeting Immediately fol-
lowing the noon recess and eX-
ploded their bOmbshell.
1t was made clear that the
banks will not carry addition
al warrants, Keplinger explain
ing that he did not expect an
answer today but would give
the board time to consider
what must be done.
LCAos HUI, uidudSCI vi kEC
Ell Centre branch of the Bank
of America said the banks
think the district does not have
the money to pay the warrants
and do not believe it can get
it. Horne, local manager and
vice-preSident of the Security
branch, said he hoped some
thing could be done.
Mark Rose said the valley
always had paid and he was
firmly convinced the valley
would pay at present.
I'VE began to use the system
of registered warrants when
times were good" said Rose,
"and this is a poor time for us
to change. If times were good
it would not be difficult"
w. F. BeaI, director, said he
had suggested months ago that
bonded interest be kept to Op-
crate the district instead of
being sent to bond holders.
Ira Aten said it was such
speeches as Beal had just made
that caused the difficulty and
that he was responsible for
much of the deficiency suffered
by the district.
The matter still was pending
at press time.
