Andrew R. Kelley initiating her
Swedish rival, Garbo, has less at

shapely limbs and more to her
general beauty, sings and acts ac-
ceptably.
Blonde Venus" just can't con-
vince you that any mother de-
voted to her baby boy and under
going the terrible hardship of ex-
treme poverty would toss away an
envelope with $1,000 to a scratch
house hag as a noble gesture.
Such incredibilities make the
story weak.
MarIene AS Mamma
Dietrich is seen as a mother
who suffers and sacrifices. When
her husband contracts a radium
disease that threatens his life she
returns to her old job as a cab
aret singer to raise the funds to
cure him. In order to get the
money she has to give up more
than talent as an entertainer and
when her husband (Herbert
MarShalD, finds it out he calls
off everything. Mother Dietrich
fleeS with her baby boy and finds
work in beer halls and various en-
tertainment dives of the South,
always keeping step ahead of
the police who are hunting the
child. Eventually she SurrenderS
little Johnny and in one short
year contriveS by being good to
the right people to reach the top
again as a Paris boulevard song
bird. Then back to America and
family reunion.
Fine Boy Actor
There are some tender scenes
between the blonde Marlene and
little Dickie Moore, who plays the
boy. Also you have Miss Dietrich
singing a brace of cabaret songs
in a throaty contralto and fetch
ing costumes. Herbert Marshall
is fine actor, but he talks too
fast for the screen microphoneS,
and so Cary Grant. as the third
side of the domestic triangle,
emerges as the runnerup for as
sist honors. The Joseph Won
Sternberg direction is fast and SO
restless it carries it's characters
through Southern episodes with
the speed of a scenic.
Glorious youth, supple. nimble
and graceful, is exemplified in
the Hal LeRoy-Mitzi Mafair dane
ing team, the headline stage act.
It could stand a tighter routining
and dropping of the Maxine Doyle
bit unless Mr.. LIE Roy improves
as a comic, but for loose-limbed
terpsichore, scorching eccentric
tap and contortionistic ballet it is
Whizz-bang IS minutes.
Nan Halperin, making a vaude-
vile comeback, offered three char
acter songs. Girl Who Forgot"
is a good opener, then a long
Winded songologue on raised bis
cults and bridal cooking, to close
with Scarlet Sister Sadie" a tor
rid Harlem ballad with emotional
bravura. Miss Halperin was a
hit. Will be bigger hit with
better numbers.
Vic Oliver has gathered
comedy act by re-telling all of the
depression jokes and familiar gags
of the New York columniSts. AL
Johnston and two girls play "Wil-
liam Tell" and other numbers on
three xylophones. Maxine Doyle
is, as usual, a fashion eyeful. The
newSreel winds up $50 minutes of
Grade A entertainment.

Florence said nothing. She
just sat and listened. She
felt badly, of course. No
woman can listen to stories
like that without feeling a
sensation of jealousy and dis
gust.
Florence cried sometimes af-
ter he left. She felt that she
had done all the hard work,
and someone else was getting
the ease that belonged to
her. One year went by. Then
another. And another. And
all the time, Tony taunted
her. Told her that he didn't
care anymore. That he want
ed to divorce her.
She stood it as long as she
could. Slowly but surely, she
!:new. she was going mad.
Fear and jealousy were driving
her crazy. And then, one
afternoon. Tony staggered in
for the final time.
"Florry," he said. I'm
gonna take the kids with me.
They oughta get a break outa
life. I'm gonna take 'em up
town to the apartment.
Florence stared at him. She
didn't say anything. Then she
screamed. A violent hysterical
scream. Tony quickly clapped
a hand over her mouth. The
scream died. He stepped
away.

eh?" said Tony. well, let
me tell you something. I got
it all fixed up with a guy
to testify in court that you

care of the kids, see? You'll

Tony was standing near the
window when he said that.
He stood looking down at his
brightly polished car and his
bodyguards. Florence opened
a drawer in the parlor table.
A loud report followed. Tony
turned. There was a fright
ened look ol his face. He
wanted to say something. He
never said it.
How 1t Happened
Lieut.. Pat Ryan stood in the
parlor. The body was still on
the floor. Gently, he asked
Mrs. Tony Vacqua to explain
how it happened. She told him.
Tony had been standing with
his back to the window. A car
had passed by slowly. A single
shot rang out. Tony had fallen.
Then" said Lieut.. Pat Ryan,
"the shot came through the
window"
Yes" said Mrs. Tony Vacqua.
Lieutenant Pat Ryan exam
ined the window. 1t was closed.
There were no bullet holes in it.
He asked Mrs. Tony Vacqua
more questions. About Tony.
About his treatment of her.
About his attitude toward the
children. She told him every
thing. Even to the fact that he
had come to take her babies
away.
Then" concluded Pat Ryan,
"ThiS window was open when
the shot was fired" Florence
was about to say something. 1T
was OPEN" said Pat Ryan again.
"Yes," said Florence. 1T was

which lived at a time much earlier
than the Indians.
They pointed out that the red
clay in which the bodies we're found
causes extremely rapid decomposi-
ton of bodies, and that petrification
IS noted only in limestone regions.
They deduced from this that the
bodies must have been artificially
petrified before burial, an art en-
tirely lost to the Indians.
Authorities also pointed to the
small stature of the young woman,
as compared with the comparatively
tall Indians who roamed the middle
Georgia regions.

At the scene of the violence the
strikers, unarmed. halted the
trucks and tried to win their point
by arguing. The drivers employed
by Sioux City firms, instead of
sympathizing with the strike cause,
abandoned their trucks and set out
in search of police.
Turned Back From Market
When they returned the strikers
had disposed of the produce, some
of it going to the needy and the
rest on the ground. One truck was
overturned, dumping a load of milk
The picketeers also accosted un-

BERLIN, Aug 13.-With a large
peace time army at his call, Adolph
Hitler, Fascist leader, today placed
his demands for power personally
before President Paul Won Hinden-
burg of Germany.
He failed to achieve his aim of
becoming chancellor Of the reich.
AS a result of today's conference
with the aged field marshal. Hitler
will remain outside the cabinet.
Franz Won Papen will continue as
chancellor.
Meanwhile, it is learned that the
government, seriously is consiCering

martial law. in event today's con-
versations have proved fruitless in
composing the troubled political
situation.

In effect, it would be designed to
fore1tall a possibly violent attempt
by the Nazi to grasp power.
Hitler arrived at Won Hinden-
burg'S palace at Ais p. m. After
a day in which he is reliably re-
ported to have rejected both the
posts of vice-chancellor and the
post Of PruSsian premier, offered
