REDSPURCHASE
 N E W ME N FOR TENANT RACE
Catching Staff Is Bolstered Field Continues
 to Be Weak
By R. c. WILKINSON

tASScclate0 Press Statf WHICH CINCINNATI, Ohio, Jan. 14-The Cincinnati Reds have brought in a wealth of new talent for the 1882 campaign.
 The outfield still is weak offen- siyely and half the infield is un- certain. There is nothing much wrong with the pitching staff, on the other hand, and the catching department appears to have been bolstered by Clyde Manion, drafted from Milwaukee.
 Neither Owner Sidney Veil nor Manager Dan Howley is satisfied but they are living in hope that several newcomers will blossom into
 big league stars.
 Taylor In Field Prospects are the outfield will
 consist of Estil C'rabtree, Taylor Douthit and Walter Roettger, a trio
 of fine fielders but not so power full at bat. Roettger, traded to the Cardinals last summer, was re-
 purchased from the champions this winter.
 1 Tn addition, Howley will have Cliff Heathcote, erstwhile Cub. The veteran Ed Roush and Gene Moore, a bright prospect recalled from the American Association. Mickey Heath is the lad counted upon to brace the infield. He made a great start at first base last year only to be forced out by broken wrist.
 Tony Must Work Tony Cuccinello and Joe Stripp are fixtures at second and third but Leo Durocher will have to out step Joe Morrissey, purchased from St. Paul, if he is to remain at shortstop.
 Andy High, the game little fellow who stepped in at third base and helped the Cardinals win the last
 World Series. was purchased as a utility infielder.
 Although six young pitchers will report to Howley at Tampa, there is only one sure-fire prospect. He
 is Oliver Eckert, bought from Quincy, where he won eleven and , lost five last year. Red Lucas, Benny Frey, Larry Benton and Si Johnson again will do the bulk of the pitching with Kolp, Wysong, Ogden and Carroll also back from last year. The re-
 duction of the major league player limit to twenty-three may mark the passing of Eppa Rixey, dean of the hurling staff.

PUP FOR MURDER TO SHOW LAST
 TIMES TONIGHT
Strangers May Kiss Be. gins Tomorrow Night
 at Capitol Theatre


 Strangers May Kiss" starring Norma Shearer, features the new bill to be offered at the Capitol theatre tomorrow night.
 up For Murder with Lew Ayres in the leading role, a stir ring love drama with a double standard" theme and newspaper background, will be shown for the last times tonight.
 Strangers May Kiss reproduces scenes in gay New York night clubs, Biarritz casinos, Me d l. terranean villas, Mexican deserts, Paris hotels, the boulevards, Spain and South America.
 The story, adapted by John Nee han from the popular novel by Ursula Parrott, concerns a flaming but unconventional romance of a modern New York girl with a globe -trotting journalist and the locale changes with the swift mo- tion of the plot, making unusual demands upon the technicians to keep pace in authentic detail with the trend of the action.
 Elaborate Research Work
 Elaborate research was involved in the designing of the sets by Cedric Gibbons and great care was exercised so that every prop" that went into the sets had an actual place there. Many of the articles of furniture and decorations were imported. Eentire rooms of the gambling casino at Biarritz were built for the picture from archi- tectural plans sent from Europe. In engaging extra players and "bit" actors for these sets, Direc- tor George Fitzmaurice had to as- certain the languages and dialects chatter" in the background would they spoke so that all the foreign mingle convincingly and not rep resent "a polyglot n1ingling of strange tongues.
 Seven Different Nations
 It may be interesting to note that players of the principal cast represented seven different nations Consequently in the characterize tions demanding accents or dia- lects, they were natural and not simulated.
 Miss Shearer is supported by a strong cast, the leading members of which are Robert Montgomery Neil Hamilton, Marjorie Rambeau Irene Rich, Hale Hamilton, Con- chita Montenegro, Jed Prouty, AL bert Conti, Henry Armetta and George Davis.

WAR COMEDY
 WITH LANCD0N
 OPENS TONIGHT
$ oldier's Plaything'' al Coliseum Theatre Has
 Notable Cast

"A Soldiers Plaything" will head line the new program at the Coli scum theatre tonight. The comedy drama has a notable cast, which includes Harry LAngdon, Lott Loder, Ben Lyon, Fred Kohler Jean Hersholt, Noah Beery and Lee Moran.
 "A Soldiers Plaything" demon strates that war is not all mud trenches, battles and barrages for the soldier who finds himself plucked from a peaceful occupation and planted on the front line.
 The play depicts some of the romantic and humorous things that befell American doughboys who donned the khaki and marched brayely into the fight.
 Soldiers in France
 Lyon and Langdon play soldiers in France who later become an in- tregal part of the Army of Occu- patton in Coblenz after the AImis- tice is signed. Their lives as buck privates provide many laughs while Lyons romance with 8 Ger man peasant girl strikes a roman tic note of naive charm. Miss Loder, the Budapest beau ty recently imported to Hollywood and the talkies-enacts the peas- ant girl.
 COlorful Backgrounds The colorful backgrounds of this comedy drama are provided by New York. France and the Rhine country.
 Michael Curtiz directed this original story by Vina Delmar Perry Vekroff adapted the piece and Arthur Caesar wrote the screen dialogue. The romantic, as well as the comic, element of the picture is enhanced by numerous original and tuheful songs.
 Change of Costume
 In "A Soldiers Plaything' Lang don does not wear the old baggy trousers, the short coat, and the worn out shoes. He has replaced these famous clothes with the uni form of the overseas doughboy, al- so double-breasted vest, a smart dark suit and spats for his role as the shy youth in the pre-war episodes.
 All that remains of the Harry Langdon attire of silent film com- edy fame is his familiar narrow brimmed hat under which is the same face.

 You may have thought this kind of thing always was faked, but there is a man in Hollywood, Steve Clemento, who has made a living throwing knives at stars. Steve is a Yaqui Indian who once served as a Colonel in the army Jf Pancho Villa. He is unerring with a knife or i1atchet. And he loves his work. You can see him fondle a knife as a mother does her baby.
 This unusual craftsman says that Bert Wheeler was the coolest victim he ever tossed a blade at. Among those stars who owe their lives to his craftsmanship are Gary Cooper, Harry Carey, Warren Hymer and numerous others.

'It is made Of wood taken from the
village blacksmith's tree"
Much was the rejoicing in the heart
of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. In
his long. splendid life he hsd written
poems which had brought him fame
abroad as well as at home, but when
this chair was given to him, and when
he learned that 700 boys and girls had
combined their small ccins to pay for
its making. he must have thought little
OF fame and much of childhood.
The tree whose wood had been used
to make the chair was the spreading
chestnut tree" mentioned in Longfel-
lows poem THE Village Blacksmith"
II had been cut down to make way for
the widening of q street a few years
before.
Carved around the base of the chair
were the words:
"And children coming home from school
Look in at the open door.
And catch the burning sparks which ny
Like chRff from a threshing floor"
Children played a big part in the life
OF Longfellow He liked to have them
visit him and tell him about themselves
and their thoughts. One of his poems
Is known as Inc CnHoTenS hCuI:
When he was 20 years OF age Long
fellow became a professor at Harvard
University, teaching literature and mod
ern languages. He was 81 when he
wrote The Village Blacksmith" and
"The Wreck of the Hesperus."
In later years Longfellow wrote
'Hiawatha" and 1.-THE Courtship of
Miles Standish." "Hiawatha" is per-
haps his most famous work. 1t is a
beautiful story Of the life Of an Indian
told in poetic form and based on several
different Indian legends.
