Bennett in
 State Feature
Neil Hamilton Her Leading Man in "Two Against
 the World"

Never before has Constance Ben- nett appeared to better advantage than as the reckless darling of the social set, in the Warner Bros pro- duction, 1.-TWO Against the World" which opens to-day at the Warner State theater.
 Miss Bennett, who in real life, is the Marquise de la Falaise de la Coudray, fits naturally into the background of this brilliant society drama. Her fine dramatic ability also finds expression in the intense ly emotional court room scene in which she drags her own honor in the dust to save her brother from the consequence of murder and her married sister from scandal. When she asserts that she is guilty of in- discretions of which she is actually innocent, in the very presence of the man she loves, there is a sus- pense that holds the audience en- thralled.
 . This is but one of the smashing climaxes in 6 picture. that is filled with dynamic situations and dra- matic sequences. The development in the character of a, frivolous so- ciety girl into that of a woman who is able to make the utmost sacri- flee of her honor and her love, is approached naturally and with Q skill that justifies the revolution ary change. ]
 Neil Hamilton, who mare such a success in "The Sin of Madeline Claudet," "The Wet Parade" and What Price Hollywood" takes the part of the young lover who is forced to prosecute a murder charge against the brother of the woman he loves, and to listen to her confession of guilt. He shows the polish of a finished actor in the way he handles this leading role.
 Others in the cast include such we'll known players as Helen Vim son, who is doing excellent work in pictures since her advent to the screen from the stage; Gavin Cor don, who made a hit playing op- posite Greta Garbo in "Romance'; Allen Vincent, Walter Walker, Roscoe Karns, Alan Mowbray and Hale Hamilton. All handle their parts in the splendid manner, born of long experience on both stage and screen.
 The story is realistic and dra- matic in the extreme, and gives Miss Bennett fine opportunity to display her ability as an emotion al actress. In the early scenes she romps through the picture as harum scarum society girl with a grace and charm that is enchant- ing.
 Being a drama of society, the background is most lavish while the feminine costumes are calcu-i lated to set the heart of every wo- man af1utter.

A Hollywood
 Cinderella Story
Phillis Barry Hits the Path
 to Success

Hollywood, Cal -- (UP)-Just when it appears that Hollywood is running along on well-oiled gears and that nothing unusual can hap pen to break the monotony, one of those Cinderella stories will fly right into your face.
 A few short months ago little Phillis Barry, dark-haired Eng fish girl, was working on the Fan- chon and Marco circuit in one of that organizations popular girl re- vues. It appeared to everyone, in- cluding Phillis, that she could go right on singing all the rest of her life.
 Then things started to happen to Phillis. So suddenly that she didn't realize what was happening it was decided that she should have the lead in the musical comedy, "Hul- labaloo." The production toured the country and finally settled down for a run in Los Angeles.
 Samuel Goldwyn, the rather ec- centric producer, who has lunches and stacks all of his chips on a hunch, happened to have a dull evening. He didn't want to read. He was too nervous to play bridge and he didn't feel sleepy enough to go to bed.
 "Oh well. sam," said Mrs Gold wyn, nee the beautiful Frances Howard, "let's go and see Hullaba- loo.'"
 Goldwyn agreed and his eyes lighted up when he saw Miss Bar ry. He sent word that he would like to have her make g. test for the part of Doris in "Cynara," a production starring Ronald Col man.
 Seventeen actresses, including names well known in Hollywood, took the test and Phillis won out.
 I interviewed her in her dress ing room at the Hotel Huntington, where the Goldwyn company was on location at the hotels outdoor swimming pool.
 Miss Barry apparently Is on the path to success but she still is too amazed to realize it.
 She is on very good terms with her double and is not bit high hat with the extra girls.
 A servant was late in bringing her luncheon and she merely smiled and said "Thank you."
 She lives in small apartment with her husband, Albert Nord, rotund young stage comedian.
 She says she hopes sometime to be able to afford a little cottage with @ garden.
 She actually is glad to see news paper men and talk with them. She does not affect things because she knows they will appear in print.
 When she asks you to drop over some night for bridge she hopes you will come and she will be very happy if you do.
 In fact, Phillis has a lot to learn about this movie business Per naps it would be better if she never caught on. She is So very nice just the way she is.

HOOVER ASSURED
OF denomination
President Given 695 Dele.
gateS-Democratic Claims
Are Uncertain.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

President Herbert Hoover has been
assured denomination by his party
through the selection of delegates to
the Republican National Convention al
ready made.
A count Of Republican delegates made
by Hoover supporters here last night
gave to Mr.. Hoover SOS. OF these 363
have been Instructed" for Mr.. Hoover,
and 1872 go to the national convention
''uninstructed, but bent on voting for
his denomination. Twenty-Five dele
gates not counted for Mr.. Hoover were
listed also.
The Republican National Convention
will nominate by majority vote. Presi-
dent Hoover, therefore, requires only
578 votes TO be nominated, or one more
than half of the 1,154 delegates which
make up the convention.
The Democratic picture is very differ
ent. In the Democratic National Con-
vention the two-thirds rule for nom
nations prevails, and ITO delegate votes
are needed to elect the party's presi-
Dental nominee.
Democratic Claims.
The Democratic list gives Gov.
Franklin D. Roosevelt Of New York 279
delegates instructed, pledged and
claimed: Senator James Hamilton
Lewis of Illinois, So pledged; Smith, SO
pledged; former Senator Reed of Mis-
souri,, 36 instructed; Gov. Murray Of
Oklahoma, % pledged, and 1873 in
doubt This list places in the doubtful
column 80 New York delegates and rs
from Pennsylvania. RooSevelt's sup
porters insist that the New York Gov
ernor will have from 40 to go of the
New York delegates on the first ballot,
If not more, and that he will have so
or more of the delegates from Pennsyl-
vania.
Tomorrow comes the Maryland presi-
Dental preferential primary. Mary
land Is the first State in which Presi-
dent Hoover has permitted his name to
be entered in the presidential preferen-
tial primary. There he will contest
with former Senator Joseph 1. France
OF Maryland for the preference of the
Republican voters. The Hoover sup
porters predict sweep for the Presi-
dent in this primary.
Mr.. Fraece has ertered many of the
presidential preferential primary con-
tests In other States, including Illinois.

In these States he has run either
against candidates who have no pos
sible chance Of nomination or has taken

BABY HUNT CLIMAX
CALLED IMMINENT
Curtis Believed in Contact
With KidnaperS Off Vir-
ginia Coast.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
NORFOLK, Va, April 30.-The Oft
hoped-for climax, screened behind a cur
tain OF secrecy and with the sea again
serving as the probable scene. was be-
heved to be near tonight in the efforts
OF three Norfolk men to restore the
Lindbergh baby to its parents.
The feeling of hopefulness, repeatedly
recurring with the coming and going
OF the intermediates during the long
weeks Of their negotiations, reached
another high peak with the absence o.
John Hughes Curtis, presumably seek
ing another contact with supposed kid
napers off the Virginia coast.
Although his movements were guard
ed with utmost secrecy, the Norfolk boat
builder was reported to have engaged
upon his new mission aboard the yacht
Maroon shortly after returning from
a trip by plane.
OFF on Mystery Cruise.
The boat, placed at the disposal Of
the Intermediates by Col. Charles H.
Consolvo, sailed on its third mysterious
cruise after it had been held in readi-
ness for several days at the naval base.
Mr. Curtis was believed to have been
accompanied by Lieut.. George L. Rich
ard, airplane pilot for the negotiators,
and Edwin B. Bruce of Elm1ra, N. Y,
a friend.
Rear Admiral Guy H. Burrage, re-
tired, who recently conferred with Col.
Lindbergh by long distance telephone,
refused today to say whether he had
again talked with the famous flyer.
Both Admiral Burrage and Very Rev.
H. Dobson- Peacock, the third inter-
mediary, continued tight-lipped 81
lence concerning their work.
The yacht Maroon became definitely
identified with the movements of the
Intermediates during the last 10 days.
Last week end, two cruises made oy
Mr. Curtis aboard the boat through the
Virginia Capes resulted in the reported
removal of obstacles" from their work.
Slips Away Again.
Almost Immediately Mr. Curtis slipped
away from the city, probably travelling
by plane on another trip. Without re-
appearing again in Norfolk, he pre-
sumably returned to the naval base to
leave on still another mission, this time
aboard the Maroon.
During his absence Dean Dobson-
Peacock participated in a separate mis-
sion, travelling by automobile and re-
turning in about seven hours. He re-
fused to reveal the purpose of his trip
or IN give any detailed information.
Three men arrested on charges of con-
Sd acy to violate the prohibition law
were being held here tonight while po-
lice investigated a report that they
might have some connection with the
Purple Gang Of Detroit. Inspector r
L. Petty said the investigation would
be continued with the Lindbergh kid
naping case in mind, but that there
was no indication the men were i'm
plicated.

Justice, Labor,
Commerce Hit
10 Per Cent.
SLASHES WILL
REDUCE FORCE
Dismissals to Follow
Unless Furlough
Is Adopted.

The Senate yesterday passed
the State, Justice, Commerce and
Labor appropriation bill after
having cut 10 per cent from the
aggregate amount allowed by the
House for these four departments,
a part of which comes from the
allowances for salaries in a num-
ber of bureaus.
AS pruned by the Senate the
bill now contains a total of SILL
792,939, as compared with the
House total of $124,215,992. The
Senate reduced the bill $12,423, ,053
below the House and $27, ,208, ,765
under current appropriations.
1t will go. back to the House early
this week, where action must be taken
on the Senate changes. When a SINH
lar 10 per cent cut was made by the
Senate on the Interior bill, the House
concurred without asking Tor a con-
ference, and that measure has been
signed by the President.
Reed Amendment Adopted.
The only substantial change made
in the Senate just before the State,
Justice, Commerce and Labor measure
passed was the adoption of an amend
ment by Senator Reed, Republican, of
Pennsylvania, which would give heads
of these four departments some leeway
in adjusting their various services to the
,urtailed funds, by permitting the trans
fer of funds from one activity to an
other.
The amendment provides that, with
the approval Of the Budget Bureau, not
to exceed IL per cent of any appropria-
ton in this bill could be transferred TO
some other activity, but no appropria-
ton could be increased by more than
Is per cent through this process.
The reductions made by the Senate in
the lump sum allotments for payment
of salaries in various bureaus OF these
four departments do not affect salary
schedules, which are fixed by law. 1t
means that those bureaus will have less
money for the payment OF salaries dur
ing the fiscal year beginning July !,
and will necessitate some reductions In
force unless a plan Of furloughing ex-
isting personnel can be worked out.
The Senate has already instructed
its Appropriations Committee to cut 10
per cent from the Treasury-Post ONCE
supply bill. which came from the House
with a total of 81 ,05e, 100000 for both
departments, but Senator Oddie, Re
publican of Nevada, in charge of this
measure in subcommittee, Is seriously
considering making an appeal to the
Senate to rescind its order for 10
per cent cut on this bill. The sub
committee has heard the testimony Of
the heads of these two departments
on the effects of a 10 per cent cut,
but has not yet made the necessary
changes.
Change in Sentiment Noted.
Opponents of the 10 per cent re-
duction below cuts already made by
the House believe there has been some
change in sentiment since the Treas
ury-Post Office bill was sent back to
committee but whether it favors such

leaders of the Democratic side, are

Urges Senate Restoration of
Item Stricken From Bill
by House.
SUGGESTS REVIVAL
OF RENT COMMISSION
Declares Level May Still Be Too
High-Repeats Stand on Trac-
tion Merger.

A strong stand in favor of placing
in the District appropriation bill in
the Senate the 100000 for unemploy-
ment relief, which the House left out
of the bill, was taken last night by
Chairman Capper of the Senate Dis
trict Committee, who is also a member
Of the subcommittee handling District
appropriations in the Senate.
Hope that this course will be followed
was voiced by Senator Capper In a
radio address from station WMAL, in
which he also revealed he is looking
into rents in Washington to find out
whether there is need for re-estab-
fishing rent commission here. He
also reiterated his view regarding GER
tain phases of the pending street rail-
way merger proposal.
Rents "StiII High"
After observing that food and cloth
Ing have gone down in price from a
few years ago, Senator Capper said
rents in Washington 'are showing an
inclination to follow, although they
are still high" He said he understood
some apartment house owners are CIV
ing their tenants a reduction in rent
or furnishing greater service, but he
added, "it Is clear to me that rents
of houses and apartments In Washing
ton are out of line with other COM
modities."
Senator Capper based his radio talk
on letters he received from residents of
the aifyy fYtr fA he F1,.
the relief fund which was disallowed by
the House, he said:
Here are some letters about a stu
alton that ought 10 be Of burning con-
Germ to every self-respecting Washingto-
nian. am referring to the current
proposal to appropriate 100000 for
unemployment relief in the District.
That item should have been in the Dis
trict appropriation bill as it passed the
House. But 1t was not.
Hearings Start Soon.
"The Senate subcommittee in charge
of the bill will begin hearings in the
near future. I am an ex ofhcio mem
Der of that subcommittee. certainly
hope that when the District bill Is re-
ported to the Senate 1t will contain this
provision of which speak"
Senator Hiram Bingham, Republican,
of Connecticut, chairman of the Dis
trict Subcommittee of the Appropria-
tions Committee, has not determined on
the exact date when consideration of
the District bill will be started in the
subcommittee.
Contending that there Is an urgent
need for the $500, 900 relief item, Sena-
tor Capper declared:
at think the oficial figures Of the
Associated Charities are Illuminating
In the first quarter of this year the As
sociated Charities spent 100000 for
relief. In the corresponding period OF
1881 the organization spent $4,000.
The registers of the Federal Employ
ment Agency in the District indicate
that there are nearly 10000 unemployed
persons here.
Nov, it is easy to say that the Dis
trict is well of, compared to other
cities. That is perhaps true. The

HOUSE REVOLT RIDDLES
OMNIBUS ECONOMY BILL:

Slash Expected
In Veteran Items
Affecting l23,32O

The only important proposals
left in the omnibus economy bill
to be considered when it comes
up before the House Tuesday are
provisions applicable to vet
erans."
1t is generally expected that
these provisions, which have twice
been rewritten by the committee,
will be slashed hard.
1t took the committee II pages
out of 27-page report to explain
its position on these items.
Nine out of these ten proposals
affect l23,320 persons, with the
committee estimating a total of
1000 in savings.
The tenth section authorizes
appointment of a joint congress
sional committee of three men,
bers appointed by the Vice PreSi-
dent and three by the Speaker, to
investigate and inquire into the
question of relief of veterans and
their dependents-which means
reviewing existing laws or this
subject.
