light entertainment. which avoids a
serious plot for some time after the
opening scene, it Is well prepared.
An intoxicated man, with tempera-
ment of persistence, which is worthy
of a better cause, falls literally into
all sorts of trouble and finally brings
prosperity to member of the police
force by giving him an opportunity
to rescue helpless man from the
water.
The policeman so favored is played
by Mr.. Tracy, and Miss Bennett ap-
pears as the young cashier of the
quick-lunch establishment where the
new young detective takes his meals.
With much sparring and maneuver-
ing, Miss Bennett and Mr.. Tracy
create a match for themselves, and
through their friendly association
with another young couple are
brought into contact with a pair Of
expert bank robbers, with more
glory in the defeat of the criminals.
Admirers of these two actors may
find that they would prefer to see
them in something with little
more Of the element of thoughtful
ness, but they demonstrate that
they are able to do the rough and
tumble without missing any valuable
points. Others in the company are
Marion Burns, George Walsh, j.
Farrell Macdonald. Noel Madison,
Henry B. Walthall, Bert Hanlon,
Adrian Morris and George Chandler.
The stage program at the Fox Is
good and is accompanied by Franz
Lehar musical number from the
orchestra, under the leadership of
Phil Lampkin. One feature Is an
act by James Kirkwood, stage and
screen star, who offers a dramatic
bit, showing the disappointments of
those who try to break into Holly
wood. Mr.. Kirkwood is assisted by
a young woman who acts and sings.
Three foreign acts of merit are pre-
sented by Molly Picon, in limitations
and songs; the LIE Calls, In dancing,
singing and accordion playing on an
attractive scale. and the Mangeans,
who do the finest acrobatic work
without single failure. Billy Far
rell and Dad. in dancing of various
periods, are live performers.

OMAHA, Nebr.. December TO-
One of a group Of Federal agents
who entered a home to serve
liquor warrant found nobody was
home so he answered the tele-
phone when it rang.
do you want anything to-
night?" asked a male voice.
Five orange" said the agent,
and this is important because
the word orange" is sometimes
used by Omaha bootleggers to
designate raw Whisky.
A few minutes later car was

The agents politely greeted the
man, relieved him of his package,

ident-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt turned
his attention back to national affairs

action toward relieving New York City
and upstate municipalities Of tax bur-
dens and toward a reorganization Of
New York City's government.
Mr. Roosevelt planned to go to his
home at Hyde Park this afternoon to
confer with railroad executives on prob
lens confronting the carriers.
His 3,000-w word message to the extra
ordinary session of the State Legislature

mics in New York City. He asked the
repeal of mandatory salary laws for
New York City policemen, firemen and

Friday Music Club
Presents Varied Program.

presents NdTktu LAOSi dms
THE program of the Friday Morn
l. ing Music Club yesterday at
Barker Hall contributed its share in
the Nationwide celebration of the
10th birthday anniversary OF Edward
MacDoWell and the 25th anniversary
of the founding of the MacDowell
Colony at Peterborough.
Gertrude Smallwood Mockbee be-
gan a group of piano selections with
the "Etude in D Flat Major" OF
Franz List, friend and patron of
MacDowell, and finished with Mac
DowelI's "Etude de Concert, OPP. So"
Mrs. Mockbee played the favorite
concert numbers, following well the
generally accepted line Of interpre-
tation She made rather too spar
ing use of the legato. and one felt
greater contrast could have been
given had she displayed a more
singing quality in her phrasing.
Dorothy Sherman Pierson, soprano,
gave an interesting group OF songs by
Norwegian composers. Mrs. Pierson
caught the intimate mood of these
songs, to which her delicate voice
was admirably suited, and she was
fully able to convey the character to
the listeners. In response to the
applause, she gave a charming en-
core, a Swedish song, When I
Was II"
The program ended with duet ar
rangement of Ronald's Down in the
Forest" which Mrs. Pierson sang
with Henry Nestor Mr.. Nestor re-
strained his resonant baritone to
blend it with the lighter quality of
Mrs Persons voice. AS this COM
b1nation was most successful with
the audience, they were forced to
give an encore. Eveline Monico
whose pianiS,ic tough was little
too much in evidence. gave, however,
a musical support to the singers. The
program opened with Mozart's so
nata in A Major" for violin and
piano, played by Grace Powell and
Mrs. D. c. Book. A. z.

Secrets of the French Police"
Stirring Drama at Keith's.

John WARBURTON, popular
Washington actor, never ap-
peared to better advantage than he
does as the hero of the motion pic
ture that opened yesterday at
R-K-O Keith's. Hidden under the
proSaic name of Secrets of the
French Police" this imaginative
story, built around the mysterious
Princess Anastasia, has all the ele-
ments that appeal to those who find
pleasure in the intrigue of foreign
colonies in European capitals, with
uncertainties and physical dangers
surrounding those who stand in the
way of secret purposes.
Police workers are seen at work
among the people, and in their SCI
entific laboratory, a girl Is kidnapped,
her lover co-operates with the au-
thorities, he courageously inveSti-
gates the secrets of royal and pa
latial home of the Russian ennigres,
finds that the girl Is being used as
a pawn, apparently as the missing
princess, employees the second-story
method to seek her rescue, Is aided
by a detail of police which arrives
in time to save the life of the pris-
oner, and assists in breaking up a
dangerous game.
Friends of Mr.. Warburton, who
remember his acting as a member
Of the National Theater Company,
will find much to admire in his
cinema performance. His natural
poise on the stage, the touch of the
quizzical that he gives to the Incl
dents Of a story, and his effective
acting are important elements in the
telling Of q stirring tale Of under
ground affairs in the life of great
capital. AS professional pick
pocket, who declare that his patri-
otism always prevents his robbing
a Frenchman, he is impelled to
steal, even when he Is engaged in
a task for the guardians of the law.
Gwili Andre appears as the sup
posed member of the royal family
who is seized by the plotters as she
walks along the street, and her
contribution to the success of the
play is notable, because of her per-
sonal appearance and ability to
make realistic the suffering which
comes from imprisonment, and the
attempt Of a man of ruthless char
acteristics to place her under the
influence of poison, so that she
may appear to recall details of ex-
perience in the royal family. The
able cast of the play includes Frank
Morgan, Murray Kinnell, Gregory
Ratoff, Lucien Prival. Julia Swayne
Gordon, Kendall Lee, Christian Rub
and Arnold Korff.
The Keith program also has
long and finely photographed film,
THE Isle of Desire" which shows
the life of the South Seas, with the
method employed by the young man
of the race in winning his bride.
This is accompanied by the char
acteristic music of the islands.
There is also a Krazy Kat cartoon,
and the newsreel has views of the
hunger marchers in Washington.

any climax which the cinema has
achieved.
Mr.. williams Match King is q
smiling hypocrite who, the cinema
would have us believe, is more in
terested in femina than finances.
While he pursues the handsome
Miss Damita from Berlin to SalZ-
burg. and by the subtle methods of
sending her violinistS and Frances
best periminkles reduces her tenn
porarily to his will, he allows his
vast match projects to slumber in
peace in the hands of those who
are only his henchmen. Thus it is
that he is telephoning across oceans
for periwinkles when his match
kingdom begins to crumble, and
when at last he has crossed an
other sea to scatter false loans
throughout Wall Street it is really
for the purpose of asking Miss
Damita to marry him rather than
for the sake of bolstering his COM
pany that he ventures on this last
venture of grandeur.
Moderately amusing, but too the
atric to be convincing, "The Match
King" Is sometimes colorful pic
ture which somehow just doesn't
click. You will be interested in
1t because some of the scenes are
said to be fact. But you will never
become absorbed Miss Damita is
only occasionally as handsome as
she actually is. Mr. william is
smooth, but not literal in his char
acterization. And Hardie Albright
as his right-hand partner seems
badly niscast
The stage show, headed by Sid
Gary, popular radio baritone, is
only $3.50 this week: Paul Kirkland

Of the acts, which also includes
the Dawn Sisters and Paul Cadieux
in Sing Little Dance Song: and
George West and Ray Stanton in

Miss Doyle is also to be seen in
a black dress which is the peer of

Indo- China Romance
With Gable and Harlow.

"R ED DUST'-and not Red

ems player. Devotees of Mr.. Gable
and the hollands, and admirers of
the white-haired Miss Jean Harlow.
need only be told that these three
elements are bound together hand
and foot in this saga of Indo-C China,
now playing before heated audiences
at Loew's Palace to realize that their
most ardent wishes have been salts
fed.
While the story is merely the re-
vival Of the old triangle game, and
does not bristle either with novelty
or genius, its suggestion of primitive
emotions Is SO ardent and its theme
so hghthearted that If you believe
In Miss Harlow as a comedienne and
Mr.. Gable as the king of all he
men, you will unouestionably be
stirred by the goings-on.
1t Is Miss Harlow's potential evi-
dence of turning into a registering
comedienne that is half of the fun
of this picture You have only to
see her soaping herself gently in an
Indo-China bath barrel, and MIR.
Gables ducking her subsequently,
to appreciate the fact that this lady's
smile Is a contagious affair, and
her way of saying bright lines (due
to Writer John Mahin) thoroughly
amusing
It is, of course, Miss Harlow's
nonchalant way Of wearing loosely
contrived garments that still carries
her high in the way of box-office
appeal However, before long she
will have been given more to say
and more to wear, and after that her
career should be plain sailing. She
is admirably qualified for this role
of a well-meaning temptress. and
particularly suited to fight the good
fight with dark-eyed, handsome
Mary Astor. who loves Mr.. Gable
also, but is unfortunately wed to
Mr.. Gene Raymond-who continues
to be one of the best of the younger
actors.
Hot. but not heavy, this is what
1t Is meant to be-a rearing romance
of the sizzling tropics.
