CAPITOL THEATRE

Mixing q brand new assortment o.
comedy gags with music and the lu-
dicrously funny situation Of two law
.yers in the midst Of the Reno divorce
mill, Bert Wheeler and Robert Wool
sey are scheduled to make another
triumphant return to the Capitol
Theatre in RKO Radio Pictures
Peach q Reno"
The picture Is the first humorous
treatment Of the Reno divorce situa-
ton to come out Of Hollywood and
provides the two ace comedians with.
two Of the most unroarious comedy
roles In their varied stage and screen
careers.
As in former Wheeler and Wool
Sey comedies, Dorothy Lee provides
the romantic interest in story that
is filled with budding romances and
hectic young wives seeking release
from marriage.
The RKO-Radio Pictures studio
has made the picture more elaborate
than Is usually the case III comedies.
Particularly is this true Of the set
tingS which include a courtroom
with hundreds Of extras, q bizarre
law office in which Wheeler and
Woolsey handle the hundreds Of di-
vorce cases that come their way and
an unusual night club and office. The
secretaries in the office. incidentally.
are the prettiest models on the Paci-
fic Coast.
An orchestra Of fifty pieces fur
nishes music for the picture at ap-
propriate spots and this music, by
the way, Is cleverly Incorporated in
the film. !.
The film was directed by William
setter with a supporting cast which
includes Joseph Cawthorn, Sam
Hardy, Cora Witherspoon, Zelma
O'Neal, Arthur Hoyt, Mitchell Har-
ris and Josephine Whittel.

economy Of each member Of Congress,
irrespective OF party, Is the basic pur-
pose Of the new group.
The outspoken attack on expenditures
for veterans made by Alfred E. Smith
in the current issue Ct the Saturday
Evening Post is probably the first gun
in a Nationwide attack against the
heavy expenses for veterans. There are
some members of the Legion who realize
the immediate cash payment demand Is
going to bring to a head the whole
problem of veterans expenses and that
the opposition not only Is going to try
to prevent immediate cash payment but
will seek a downward revision on all
expenses for veterans that were not
directly connected with war service.
Until now the Legion has agitated the
bonus que-tion in congressional dis
tricts through lccal posts and there has
been practically no opposition from tax
payers groups. The idea that all of the
citizens will be taxed to pay the in
used as the basis for counterattack On
the demands of the ex-zervice groups.
Showdown Due This Winter.
For the moment the eviction of the
bonus army from Washington is a po-
before the end Of the campaign by a de.
mand that the Democratic nominee
state whether he is in accord with the
plea for immediate cash payment and
whether he also favcrs reduction by
about s415,000,000 Of present veterans
expenditures as outlined by some of his
spokesmen, who interpret the Demo-
cratic platform demand for a billion
dollars of economy to include such a re-
duction in veterans expenses.
After the presidential campaign Is
over the bonus question will be even a
more conspicuous issue, as renewed de-
mands will be made that Congress pass
the immediate payment plan. Mr..
Hoover would veto such a measure.
Whether it could be passed over his veto
depends on the extent to which the
taxpayers groups are organized to bring
pressure to bear on their Congressman
against such step. In other words, the

payment OF the bonus Immediately, so
many members Of Congress felt justi-

however, with the Legion going on rec

request seriously, unless, of course some
counter political force Is set in motion.
