BIZ United Press
BERLIN, Sept 14.-Germany is
traversing an amazing constitution
al crisis, with the government of
Chancellor Franz Won Papen and
the parliament mutually accusing
each other of violating the funda-
mental laws Of the land.
The situation which has arisen as
n result of Won Papen's action in
dissolving the reichstag, Monday, is
so unique that there is no judicial
body available to settle the bitter
conflict
President Paul Won Hindenburg
Tuesday night issued an ultimatum
addressed to Hermann Goering, the
Fascist speaker of the reichstag
demanding that he recognize the
constitutionality of the dissolution.
The aged president, likewise,
warned Goering to withdraw accu-
sations he has made against
Chancellor Won Papen. that he
acted unconstitutionally in dissolv-
ing parliament.

Cy Prime, Seth Perkins, Happy
Jack, Aunt Matilda, Eb HanzeS and
Rickety Ann will be seen in the
portrayals of the Berkell Players.
Eugene Field, the great American
poet, whose human qualities en-
deared him to young and old read
ers alike, paid fine testimonial to
1.-THE Old Homestead" when he said
to its author-"God bless you, Den
man Thompson, for the good you
do our hearts" And it is on this
premise of cleanliness and whole
someness that Berkell considered
and finally selected the play. 1t is
classic for family audiences.
Following 1.-THE Old Homestead"
the Berkell Players will, as the third
of their Spring Festival" hits, pre-
sent Barry Corners new comedy,
Unexpected Husband" a recent
New York and Chicago success.
Conner, it will be- remembered,
has had considerable experience in
this type of writing with his hits,
THE Patsy" and "Applesauce," but
he exceeds his previous efforts at
spicy writing in this new play.
Other new plays obtained for the
spring season include I'm the Best
of Families" "a Modern Virgin"
Cloudy With Showers" and
Louder, Please" all of which have
been notable Broadway successes.

talkies, was formerly one of the
leading funny men of the Great
White Way, playing in such smashes
as Battling Butler" and many
others.
Roland Young, always a sure-bet

Horseback" and other theatrical
works of their kind, is the third
member of the hilarity confectionerS

Hit
to Be Next
at Keith
The Old Homestead to
Open Sunday Night
for Week.

When THE Old Homestead" per-
haps the greatest of all rural COM
edy dramas to have reached the
American stage, was originally pro-
duced at the Academy theater in
New York City. It established rec
ord by remaining in the metropolis
for four consecutive seasons.
The play was for many years
afterward one of the biggest box
Office drawing cards that the stage
has ever known.
The Berkell players will give THE
Old Homestead" it's first stock pro-
duction in Indianapolis next week
at KeithS, and in addition to the
augmented cast required Charles
Berkell is bringing back Ezra Buzz
zington's RUDE band as a special
added feature.
Ezra Buzzington's Rube band,
though vaudeville headline at
traction for a number of seasons, is
distinctly Hoosier product.
1t is headed by Mark D. Schafer,
who owns and operates a farm in
Randolph county where he makes
his home when he is not on tour.
The band made a hit at Keith'S
in the Berkell revival of isis Hop
hnS" last January. In 1.-The Old
Homestead, which is quite as APP
propriate a vehicle for the fun
making talents of the members of
this unique organization as was
sis Hopkins" the band will appear
in an entirely new routine of tunes,
songs, dances and comedy innova-
lions. Since playing with the Ber-
kell company at Keith's in January
the band has completed engage
ments that took it to the Pacific
coast and back.

RADIO STORY
NOW AT PALACE

Mysteries of radio sound effects
and the modus operandi of storms,
bridge crashes, racing horses and
other incidentals to broadcasted
drama, proved excellent comedy
material for "Are You Listening?"
picture laid in the atmosphere Of
national broadcasting station.
The film is based on the widely
read j. P. McAyoy radio story which
opened Friday at Loews Palace.
The applause machine" with
which handclasps are manufactured
to create applause in the right spots
in broadcasts of musical numbers,
the thunder chute" in which can
nonballS are rolled down a wooden
frame to reproduce the roar OF a
storm, the wind whistle" with
which artificial gales are created
are all worked by actual radio
broadcast experts in order to make
the scenes as authentic as pos
Sible.
Some of their secrets are peculiar,
as for instance, the crashing of
timbers which is reproduced by
breaking matches two inches from
the microphone.
The action of the plot takes place
for the most part within the broad
casting plant and its principals are
all persons engaged in radio activ-
ity.
The story shifts from the life
behind the scenes" in the radio
station to depict what happens
when the entertainers go home to
their individual problems and con-
flictS.
William HaineS, who last scored in
"Get-Rich-Quick Wallingford, plays
his first straight dramatic role in
this picture, as the continuity writ
er whose home life is made miser-
able by an unSympathetic wife and
who through series of dramatic
events, ultimately becomes a fugi-
tive from justice.
Madge Evans has the principal
feminine role and the large cast
also includes Anita Page, Katen
Morley, Neil Hamilton, Wallace
Ford, Jean Hersholt, Joan Marsh,
John MILAN, Murray Kinnell and
Ethel Critics.
Featurettes comprising the bal
ance of the program will include

steppers known as the Brown
Buddies' chorus. They present songs,
ensemble dances and two colored
sklts that are said to keep the en-
tertainment level high throughout.
In Alias the Doctor" the film
attraction, Richard Barthelmess
comes forward with what may be
ranked as one Of his finer portray
ais. He plays the part of a bril-
liant young surgeon who undergoes
shame and Imprisonment to shield
a worthless foster brother.
The theme evolves about these
two characters, the other being por-
trayed by Norman Foster. The
characters, in turn, are governed
by a mothers overpowering ambi-
ton to get away from the small
farm life to which the family has
been chained for generations. by

Banking Department
Praised Bv Ke[Ian1

The State Banking Department.,
of which S. w. Ellery is superin-
tendent, came in for a lot OF praise
at the 9Th Annual Convention of t:1a
State Supervisors Association here
Monday.
Praise for the banking department.
was largely given by Joe Kellam. a.
member of the Coconino County
Board Of Supervisors.
Kellam brought before the meet
ing the advisability of the associa-
ton passing a resolution expressing
to the Superintendent of Banks
their appreciation for the banking
departments immediate action few
weeks ago in demanding that the
stockholders of the Arizona Bank,
which recently closed, be assessed
100 percent Of the par value of the
stock they held in the defunct bank.
This demand, Kellam said, was
made by the State Superintendent
OF Banks on the Arizona Banks
stockholders Immediately after the
bank was declared insolvent and
closed it's doors in Phoenix, Flagstaff
and other places.
Other supervisors concurred with
Kellam that his suggestion was a
good one but that the supervisors
association should confine it's resolu-
tions to matters pertaining to taxa
ton.
