1.-THE THIRTEENTH GUEST"
 AND "BLESSED EVENT. ON
 STRAND BILL; BIG VAUDE- WILLIE SHOW COMING FRIDAY

"The Thirteenth Guest, rsus- ing mystery melodrama, is to be found on the current program at Warmers Strand theater. Ginger Rogers, Lyle Talbut, J. Farrell Me- Donald and host of other favor ites play their roles magnificently to make this production one of the best mystery stories seen in town this fall.
 The story while tense in its mystery element also packs some real wholesome comedy and pro- vides laugh just at the time the reviewer is getting ready to chew stories you will like "The Thir- teenth Guest.
 The companion feature is "Bless- ed Event" based on the Bdoardway stage play of the past season.
 Lee Tracy. Mary Brian, Dick Powell, Ned Sparks and Frank Mo- Hugh make up a cast of princi- pals hard to improve upon.
 The role of Alvin Roberts is practically monologue and calls for MT Tracy's presence on the screen almost every moment, of the time. Both in conception and exe- cution the stars work is admir- able. He plays with a bounce and vitality that are joy to behold and which should definitely stamp him as one of the screens out standing artists.
 Blessed Event" H blessed de- parture in screen entertainment that should delight every Water bury theatergoer who sees 1t.
 Friday brings another great seven-act vaudeville bill to the Strand for three days including four acts that have recently closed an engagement at Warner Broth ers' key vaudeville houses on the west coast. It looks like a happy event for vaudeville fans who visit the Strand this week end,

Friday at the Poli Palace theater. AS "Deadlegs" Flint, Walter Hus- ton, in the featured role, reenacts the>part he first created in scoring one of his biggest New York stage successes. c'.t.
 Black magic, a terrifying plot for revenge, the resentment of the warlike Congo blacks against the cruel domination of a white mas ter, and the fight of the white race against the jungle lure, form the admixture from which this strange melodrama was evolved.
 Keeps Natives Under Spell
 As 'Deadlegs," Walter Huston ehacts his powerful role from a wheelchair, bullwhip in hand, driv- ing whites and blacks before the crack of his lash. He wields the tricks of magic winch keep the superstitious blacks under his spell and concocts the scheme which is to trap his rival and send a white girl out to be hurled into the swamps by the natives = a diabol- ical scheme of vengeance.
 Virginia Bruce, who recently be- came the wife of John Gilbert, Is the white girl to be sacrificed. Con- rad Nagel is the derelict English man, a doctor, who seeks to save her. Between these two falls the romance that contrasts with the powerful melodrama of Huston's role. @2
 Lupe velez, as the Portuguese girl who is the slave of the para lyzed white witch doctor's'' whims, has the type of role al which she excels. c. Henry Gordon who was 50 forceful in trapping Grsta Garbo in "Mata Hari," has a robust dramatic role in "Kongo.' William Cowen directed the pro-

.G.O.P.PLATFORM
'MO|STENED' To
FIGHT REVOLT
By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON

By WILLIAM X. HUTCHlNSON
CHICAGO, June 13.-The riS-
ing tide Of sentiment among
delegates to the Republican con.
vention for outright repeal Of
prohibition today forced Presi-
dent Hoover's lieutenants to
"moisten' the Administrations
modest reSllbmission plank.
This was the outstanding de-
velopment over the weekend on
the prohibition question. which
overshadows every other platform
issue to be placed before the
convention. 1t came just as the
New York State delegation unani-
mously went on record for an
outright repeal plank.
Backed by Hoover
The plank, now said to have
Mr.. Hoover's approval. would call
for submission by Congress of
the prohibition issue "to the peo-
pie of the States to determine
whether the Eighteenth Amend
ment shall be retained, repealed,
or revised"
The last three words we're
eliminated in Washington by Mr..
Hoover when the so-called "coun-
try club" plank was submitted
to him, after being approved by
a conference of Republican Sena-
tors, Representatives and other
A cIV,o -, CT ro fioYo loo Iorc
The Administration forces, how
ever, were compelled to restore
these cryptic words in a desperate
effort to forestall a convention
bolt in favor of outright repeal.
It failed to stem the New York
delegations action, even though
Secretary of the Treasury Ogden
L. Mills and numerous other
Hoover leaders were members Of
the group.
VETS InSiStent
Convention vets declared they
would oppose the. Administration
plank in the resolutions COM
mittee, and, if defeated there.
would carry their repeal plank to
the floor of the convention.
A tremendous vote was being
pledged to repeal planks. Aside
from the New York delegation,
the Illinois, Michigan, Connecti-
cut, New Jersey, and Mass,
achusetts groups were to support
repeal plank. The Indiana
delegation came up with another
proposal to submit the question
of repeal.
There was virtually no con-
troversy over the remainder of
the platform, except for a de-
mand by the Illinois delegation
for approval of a plank calling
for a $5,OO0,OO0,000 prosperity
loan issue.

FARLEY GLOATS
At COP, RIFF FTS.

CHICAGO, June 13 0N.S0-
Two gentlemen, who for a week
will be complete outsiders, were
getting enjoyment today out of
the undercurrents of dissension
and revolt that seeped through
Chicago hotel lobbies as the Re.
publican national convention as,
sembled.
The two were James N. Farley,
manager of Franklin D. Roose,
velt's campaign for the Demo
cratic nomination two weeks
hence, and Frank c. Walker, out.
standing financial supporter OF
the New York governor.
Farley and Walker planned 70
remain only through the day,
having arrived over the weekend
They circulated busily among the
Republican delegates, however,
and made no bones of their de-
light over the corridor speeches
that disgruntled badge holders
made about the steam-roller
fashion in which the White
House was running the G. o. P.
conclave.
Particularly, they were hopeful
that the Hoover lieutenants would
not be able to hold the conven-
tion in line on a prohibition
plank.
Also, they listened with pleas
ure to the highly sub rosa re-
marks that we're being made
about the doubtful denomination
of Charles D. Curtis as Vice
President.

Well, here am, Dearie, right off

There's a big lake right across

the extreme other end of the
hotel; but right across my little
private court I can see right
into the room of a big blonde
cutie with gold teeth, and she
has a big wall mirror, bigger than
herself. And when she isn't
blocking the view by dressing be-
fore the mirror I can see the re-

me the length of the platform

ONLY those persons unacquainted

ONLY those persons unacquainted
~ with the facts are prone to
take seriously the hullabaloo about
the Center township tax rate, raised
as political smoke screen by coun-
ty Republican orators.
A moments study of the matter
reveals that, contrary to the prop
uganda, the Scent increase in total
levy for all state, county, township,
city and schools purposes will not
increase the amount to be paid in
1888.
The truth is that taxpayers in
Center township will pay less in 1888
than they paid in 1932-and the
credit for this is due to John c. Nc
Closkey, Center township assessor,
who, refusing to play politics, or
dered blanket 20 per cent reduc-
ton in all real property valuations
for taxation purposes.
McCloskey could have played poll
tics by refusing to reduce the valua-
tions in accordance with the present
market value of the property.
This would have enabled city,
county and other governmental di-
vision heads to continue making
economies, which they have under
taken, and then. on the basis of the
higher value of property, proposed a
lower levy for 1888 than for this
year.
But instead, McCloskey ordered
the 20 per cent horizontal slash in
valuation of real property.
It's a simple problem In arith-
metic.
Last year Center township prop
erty owners paid $279 on each 500
of taxable property.
This year the rate will be 1892.
Last year your real estate, we will
say was valued at $1,000. McClos-
key ordered this valuation slashed
20 per cent, making the new figure
$500.
Last year at the $2.79 rate the
assessment against the $1,000 was
$27.9O.
This year, under the new figure
of $2.82, your assessment on the
same piece of property is $22.56.
So that despite the cents in
crease in rate, a saving Of 1894 on
each $1,000 of property is afforded
Center township property owners.
