GROVE TAMEs JAPANESE

Oliver enlivened the Red Sox camp sessions this spring with his accounts of experiences on the trip with Fred Lieb's all-Star team to Japan.
 T could hit their pitching but had a lot of trouble with those chop sticks he laughs.
 They gave us a lot of good competition, at that, but the Jap- anese crowds were so in awe of fellows like Lefty Grove that when "a home player got so much as a foul off Lefty it was the cause for an outburst of cheering.
 The first time Grove went into the box late in the game he struck out the side in two suc- cessive innings. The next time he pitched I think somebody hit a pep fly between strike-outs.
 When that fellow bears down he has something. Before we left San Francisco we played some exhibition games under the lights Grove started game and almost beaned the first batter with fast ball. This so disturbed Lefty that he eased up. used his half -speed ball and was pounded all over the place.

Oliver. whose inquisitiveness about baseball covers a wide range spent some time pitching to Al Simmons at Hot Springs before reporting to the Sox camp for the purpose of studying the American league batting champions form.
 Boy, I'm telling you he hit everything high or low, to all parts,n he said. The only thing he didn't seem to like especially was a ball just above the waist and inside, but he probably will mur- de, that kind of a pitch, too, when he really gets warmed up."

Marx Boys, Doing
We'll, Remain

Crazy as a bat! Not a bit of
sense; just lot of nutS-four
of 'em, to be exact. Thus the
Marx Brothers continue their
hilarious stay at the Metropoli-
tan for another week in their
latest vehicle, Horse Feathers"
Just like all their pictures, this
film is a series of outlaws from
beginning to end. Only this
time the boys turn collegiate.
Groucho. their leader, puns his
way through as the new preSi-
dent of Huxley College, much
worn out because of too much
education and not enough foot
ball.
But Groucho, with the able
assistance of his colleagues, who
play poker on the field, makes
pigskin history as he carries dear
old Huxley to victory. His as
SiStantS, by the way, are his son,
in his twelfth year as a fresh
man; Chico, efficient iceman
and bootlegger, and Harpo, dumb
but very swell dog catcher.

Musicians Win in
Fight to Hold
Basic Paw

The union musicians and the
Washington motion picture the
aters reached an agreement on
new contract after parleys
which lasted mare than month
and ended peacefully in New
York yesterday.
The terms of the contract con-
stitute a victory for the musi-
clans in the matter of basic pay
although they made concessions
in working conditions which will
enable the theaters to effect econ
omieS.
The basic pay of the expiring
contract is continued which gives
each musician at the Earle and
the Fox theater about $83 a
week. The union conceded re-
duction in personel at the Fox
from 81 men to 18. The extra
charges for doubling musicians
are reduced from $40 a week to
SIS and other concessions which
constitute a reduction in expense
for the theater.
Stage hands and motion pic
ture operators recently conceded
a wage reduction and this new
contract ends the labor negoti-
ationS for the coming year.

Football Story,
ArbuckIe, at
The Fox

Full measure of entertainment
on both stage and screen at
Loew's Fox currently what with
an old.time screen favorite and
the first of the fall seasonal epics
of the gridiron.
It's been close to 10 years since
the buffoonery of Roscoe Fatty)
Arbuckle was a signal for a round
of laughs; a new generation has
grown up, drastic changes have
been made in motion pictures, but
there is always place for the
laugh-maker and if Fatty retains
his gift of laughter We wish him
well. His current act is amusing
and the gags, while not new in
some instances, go over hilariously
with the aid of a "stooge" in the
audience.
Abe Lyman's California Band
men are versatile boys who know
the art of entertaining; June
Carr and partner tap nicely and
amuse with some rather rough
comedy; Arthur LaFleur and
Company specialize in serial stunts
with some toe-tapping. and closing
the stage program is Luis Tin
gone, loquacious magician.
On the screen is pictured pig
skin drama titled 10000 Wit
nesses." The excitement Of the
actual game, the constant menace
of death, romance, suspense, all
these coupled with the nonsense
of Charley Gnebriate) Ruggles
turn out a Screen-play of high
value from an entertainment rat

Jordan and Johnny Mack Brown
are the featured players ably sup
ported by Lew Cody, Walter HERS

HootGibsonHero
Of Wild West
Excitement

The kids will love it. Hoot Clio
sons "A Mans Land" at the
Columbia, is one of those old
time cowboy thrillers that keep
you sitting on the edge of your
chair from beginning to end.
Wild rides in the desert and
through ranches, fights galore
and the well-known Hoot to grace
it all with his Shootin'.
The story concerns Peggy Tur-
ner, little city gal, played by
Marion Shilling, who goes West
to prove that modern methods
should govern a ranch.
But she didn't figure on cattle
rustlers or the dastardly banker
of the town. And so it falls on
Hoot, otherwise known as Tex
Mason, to prove to her that she
is heading straight toward bank
ruptcy.
All of which isn't proved, natu-
rally, until Hoot engages in sew
eral fierce Scrimmages, rides the
plains, calms a stampede and
captures the banker.
And then little Peggy, sweet
and demure, with her bucking
bronco hero end it all with kiss
and the thriller is over.

Dolores Del Rio
in Hawaiian
Picture

Bird of Paradise" as Holly
wood has tricked up the Richard
Walton Tully'S exotic play for the
season, is a directors picture. So
King Vidor, who boSsed the job
for Radio features, emergeS with
greater honors than the actors.
Trick photography and exqui-
site shots Of Hawaiian scenery
are the things which will impress
you most about the picture at
R-K-O-Keith's, for Director Vidor
paid more attention to getting
underwater glimpses of shark
battle and impressive native back
grounds than he did to either
acting or story.
Del Rio Is Star
Dolores Del Rio is the brunette
Luana, native princess, who falls
head over heels in love with a
white man Joel McCrea and
flees her native village on the eve
of her wedding to tribal noble
man. They take refuge on a
neighboring island and contrive
to build a shelter under the COCO
nut trees and enjoy life until
Luana'S people discover their hid
ing place. Then she is uncere-
moniously brought back, presum-
ably to become a sacrifice for Mt.
Peele, a volcano which becomes
angered over such unconventional
conduct. The white man goes
back to less exciting civilization.
Dolores Del Rio is very much
decolette and very coy. Besides
acquiring a knowledge Of Eng
liSh in marvellous fashion, she
does a hula-hula and finds the
Hawaiian jungle secret for keep
ing we'll manicured and groomed.
Joel McCrea has a muscular
physique which serves him well,
but his knowledge of acting and
camera expression is yet pain
fully limited.
Skeets Gallagher has another
one of his bottle tipping roles
and the real acting honors &C.
cordingly go to John Halliday
and some of the dusky actors
who portray the highlords of
the jungle.

with the Pathe News completes

the white king Of a black race.
Mr.. Wirkus, whose extraordi.

This Hollywood company owns the

Of Wirkus in the island of Lago-

landed there in a plane, under
military instructions to maintain
order in the island.

Family Sacrifices

The boy cut short his stud
les and came, of all places, to
America. At the ripe old age
Of II, he landed in New York
and promptly went to work in
q cheap orchestra in a cheap
dance hall.
Of course, he met a girl there.
And, of course, he fell in love.
But to this girl love was like
: good wishes. You give it to
all your friends.
Pietro was stupid. He didn't
know that she was hoodwink-
ing him. And so they were
married.
The boy was happy in his
ignorance. Life consisted only
of his music and his wife. And
neither, he was sure, would
ever play him false.
Within a month, every mem
ber of the orchestra wanted to
put the boy wise to what was
going on. He was a nice kid,
and they liked him. But hus-
bands react very strangely to
people who wise them up, so
Pietro wasn't told.
But even the blindest Of hus-
bands sometimes see, and
Pietro was by no means the
blindest. He had been married
about four months when he
caught his wife standing in the
hallway kissing the corner
butcher.
Pietro struck out with his fist.
The butcher had the same idea.
Pietro dropped. When he arose
again, blood was streaming
from his nose and strange buzz
zing noises were in his head.
The boy forgave her that
time. She explained that the
butcher had cornered her in
the hallway and that she had
been defenseless until Pietro
came along. After awhile, the
boy nodded his belief of her
story, and the incident was
closed. He told her that he
loved her more than ever, and
could never live without her.
They still make 'em that way,
too...
It was a scant two weeks
after that when Pietro was fired
from the band. The dance hall
owner said that his work was
terrible, and that he ought to
trade in his violin for a pick
and shovel.
The boy walked home slowly.

bright idea for the Chevalier fea-

of the brilliant Gilbert & Sulll-

manner in which THE Son OF a

Romantic Story
"Love Me Tonight" has a thin

his bill, goes calling on the nobil-
ity. He finds himself accepted
as one of them and thrust into
the midst of romantic conquest.
