NEW BOXING
MOVIE AT APOLLO

Winner Takes AL" starring
James Cagney in new Warner
Brothers film, is the current attrac-
ton at the Apollo, where it will re-
main through Thursday next.
It Is thought that Cagney's popu-
larity gained in prestige since his
appearance in THE Crowd Roars, y
and many who have seen his new
picture herald it as even the best
of his entire career.
The picture opens with jim, Ill
in health, and striving for come
back at a desert sanatorium. He
meets a girl, falls in love with her.
He breaks his reSt-and also his
nose and ear-by fighting to raise
some money she needs.
He leaves her with promise of
reunion and marriage to re-enter
his career in New York Once there
he forgets her for society girl who
is interested in him only as an Cd
dity.
The crude boxer goes high-hat
for the society girls sake. He has
his broken nose and cauliflower ear
fixed by plastic surgeon and starts
getting culture in big way. His
popularity drops off because he
turns powder puff" boxer in order
to save his new nose. 1t is only in
the middle of his biggest fight that
the truth dawns on him.
Marian Nixon appears as his first
love. Virginia Bruce, a newcomer
to the screen, enacts the part of
the society girl, and other featured
roles are enacted by Guy Kibbee,
Dickie Moore and Alan Mowbray.
Roy Del Ruth directed. Short sub
iects round out the program.

So far indianapolis is not includ-

American Theatre Society, which
offers plays of the New York
Theatre Guild and the Drama
League.
We may not even get these plays,
but I still have hopes that Indian

group.
Received a card from Bob Fay,

Am going to endorse a movie on

circus, which comes to Indianapo-
lis for performances next Thursday
afternoon and night at the West
Washington street show grounds.
All of them agree that Rose and
Mitzi Rieffenbach, lovely sisters of
the riding Rieffenbach family, are
the horseback star of stars, no mat
ter where the discussion may take
place-Vienna, Berlin, Paris or in
the dressing tents of the Greatest
Show on Earth.
The two girls we're raised in the
famous circus buildings of the con-
tinent, and they have ridden in
public since they we're tots. No
body has to be told, who knows
anything of circus families, that
all of their forebears were bare
back riders. That is tradition, and
circus families follow it as a mat
ter of course.
Rose and Mitzi, however, have
the only sister act in the world, and
it is famous from Moscow to Mad
rid; from Vancouver to Buenos
Aires, as the finest ana most ap-
pealing equestrian offering ever
conceived.
These girls. with their sister Ber-
tie, also work with the rest of their
kin in that elaborate act known as
the Reiffenbach Family, which is
one of the most famous of the fam
lily groups, rivaled only by the
Davenports, another riding family
with the Ringing Bros. and Bar
mum and Bailey circus.

The story deals with a senator
who becomes a national power and
a leader in the fight for public
ownership of utilities. The vested
interests set woman to "vamp''
him. He loves her, marries her, and
she tricks him into being the tool
of the lobbyists.
Disillusionment comes, and in the
senate he tears asunder the struc-
ture Of inside" politics in a mighty
dramatic climax.
Barrymore, famous in "A Free
Soul" Grand Hotel" and others,
has one OF the most dramatic roles
in his career as the beguiled senator,
and Karen Morley, who appeared
with him in "Arsene Lupin," plays
the political "vamp."
His daughter is played by Diane
Sinclair, and Nils Asther appears as
the secret lover Of the woman. G..
Henry Gordon of "Mats Hsr" fame
is the chief lobbyist. William Nor

The dramatic highlights include
the famous Barrymore speech before
the senate, his defiance Of the po-
litical machine, the "hazing' on the
floor Of the senate, his disillusion-
ment when he learns the true
character of the woman, the spec
tacular Presidents reception, the Of
fetal banquet and its dramatic de-
movement and the sensational fight
before the senate investigating COM
mittee.
Featurettes comprising the bal
ance of the program will include
Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy in
their newest comedy vehicle,
County Hospital; the most recent
issue Of the Hearst Metrotone News
and an organ novelty.

No American institution at present is
more overcrowded or in worse state
of depression than agriculture. Both
these men are well aware of the fact.
Even industry may be a trif1e more

enter into competition with the already
hard-pressed American farmer. They
are not going to add to the surplus Of
wheat or pork, eggs or hides.
Nothing to Sell
They are going to raise grain to eat,
produce milk to drink, cut wood to
burn and to build shelters. They are
not interested in selling anything The
land they are to take up is abandoned

The best either can hope for is -

no particular skill poorly paid and dis

go to the Community Chest and prob
ably receive enough work, paid by the
hour, to assure them enough to eat
Neither can hope for much more until
prosperity returns.
Naturally enough, both men are a
trifle bitter and defiant. They happen
to be gentlemen of good minds and
superior education. They have thought
through the problem-thought it
through, they believe. to its basic ele-
ments. And both men, thinking indie
pendently, have arrived at an extreme

radical in its best sense.

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa
The open-door policy in China and the
British India policy have hitherto kept
South Africa out of the markets of
the East very effectively. AS a world
power South Africa may be very small
potato. but the productive power of this
subcontinent, combined with the cheap
native labor. keeps it well within the
trade competition horizon, including
even such countries as the United
States and Great Britain.
Despite these things, however, South
Africa has practically ignored the mar
kets of the East, and while Europe was
keeping South Africa's favorable trade
balance at a high level there was really
no reason why the union should not
continue to maintain its independence
Of the Orient
Since last September, however, things
have changed for South Africa. The
abandonment of the gold standard by
Great Britain and many other European
countries has virtually swept away
South Africa's considerable export
trade except, of course, gold. Now,
therefore, South Africa must look
around for new markets, and the East
beckons invitingly.
Geographically South Africa is well
fitted TO supply the great markets Of
modern India, as Indian spokesmen

They are not going back to the farm,

almost any American farmer. The
farm Is a part of the economic and
social complex of the time Farming is
essentially a matter of manufacturing,
buying and selling. Grains and fruits
are only intermediate steps toward the
crop In which the farmer is primarily

other things. With these men grains
and fruits to eat will be the primary
objective.

7 ERE in Washington an elderly
- gentleman, distinguished
member of one of the learned
Il L professions, has lost the ac-
cumulated savings of a life
time and has every reason to believe
that in few months he will lose his
job.
In one of the Government Offices for
which the appropriation has been re-
duced skilled technician with a grow
ing family has been notified that after
few months there will be no money
with which to pay his salary.
Both of these men face a difficult
problem. One has reached the age at
which it would be difficult to find
position at any time-unless some
kind-hearted firm took pity on him.
During the present depression his case
is practically hopeless. He knows 1t.
He Iong since has outgrown youths
optimistic illusions. The other has
concentrated on an extremely spe-
cialized job. Within this narrow field
he is one OF the most skillful men in
the United States Outside of it he
has no particular, outstanding capa-
bility. There are probably only four
or five jobs just like it in the country
and they all are filled with capable
men who show no disposition to quit.
What are these men to do? There
is no immediate prospect that they will
starve, especially with Summer on the

tons of intercoastal freight passing
through the Panama Canal. OF many
miles of airplane routes: of commercial
passengers making daily flights be-
tween New York and Chicago between
New York and Boston, from the Pacific
Coast to the Atlantic.

hopeless one. 1t is always rather we'll
