WHEELER AND WOOLSEY IN "CRAC D N U T s." KEN MAYNARD IN FRANCE
 LAW" AT NEW GARDEN

A fussy maiden aunt; beau- tiful girl; two rival kings; a rest less executioner and a crazy king dom-these are the laugh-provok- ing ingredients composing Radio Pictpres' Cracked Nuts," opening today at the New Garden theater.
 Co-featuring Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey, with little Dorothy Lee as the romantic prize, the two famed comedians battle for matri- mony and glory in what is consid- cred their best screen appearance to date.
 Wheeler and Woolsey are rivals for the throne of a mythical king dom, but their enthusiasm cools when they are told that before one can attain the crown the other must die by public execution.
 The picture abounds in laughs and in addition provides many new thrills. Airplanes bomb cities and miniature leaden soldiers battle on the field of honor with Wheeler and Woosley finally deciding the fight personally.

"Two Kinds of Women" New Paramount Hit and Delightful
 rHts lat

Story, Closing at State Tonight 1.-TWO Kinds of Women," current talkie at Warmers State that closes its engagement this evening has been found, by the many patrons of this popular theater who have seen it, to be one of the cleverest and most delightful pictures of the new year. It has comdy, romance, pathos and thrills in fact everything one could desire in 8 really worth while entertainment.
 The cast is headed by Marian Hopkins, Phillips Holmes, Irving Pichel and Wynne Gibson. Other favorites seen in support of these stellar luminaries are Josephine Dunn, Stanley Fields, Vivienne Os- borne, Stuart Erwin, Robert. Elm melt O'Connor, Adrienne Ames and Claire Dodd.
 The story deals with New York life as it falls about the ears of the eager, and pretty Miss Hop kins, daughter of Pichel, a senator from South Dakota who has al- ways won political victories in his home state by his vigorous vocal crusades against the big, wicked city.
 When Pichel and Miriam visit New York on an enforced business trip, she gets out of his control, meets some typical New York Broadwayites and night club habitues and is drawn into a whirl of excitement which eliminates in a near tragedy. Out of all the glamor and danger, she emerges finally to a romantic finale with Phillips Holmes, wealthy New York bankers son, as the true boy friend.
 The picture is ultra-modern in tone, with dialog that is bright and

TWO BIG FEATURES CLOSE
 TONIGHT AT THE LYRIC.

When the last flicker of "The Brat" faded from the screen of the Lyric theater, yesterday, where it opened an engagement we felt sorry that the film was ended and the last of the story told. For it is just that kind of a picture. You leave, unwillingly, wishing there was more..
 While the story has it's moments of drama and of pathos, always ex- cellently done, it's chief character istic is bubbling, unexpected type of delicious humor that is as re- freshing as it is entertaining.

There still is, however. an income from sources never before possible: radio, talking pictures and other mechanical devices: These are known as "small rights" in the trade.
 One of the basis of the present fight is the demand of composers to hold their own copyrights. The publishers come back that so revo- lutionary a move would put them out of business.
 In the midst of the back-and- forth debate came rumors that @ composers strike might result, but this is denied.

 A dozen New York stores are using protective measures against the most brazen shoplifting racket to date. Many expensive articles, it seems, were lifted during the holiday rush. Not content with the mere theft, the sneak thief now returns it, says it was an undesired gift and demands the money back. And what can the average store do? Several places now are de- manding names and addresses of each purchaser, so future check can be made.

New York - From Tin Pan AL ley-or what is left of it-have been issuing strangely discordant and sour notes of late.
 The boys and girls wko turn out a nations tunes have been hitting the ceiling" over a number of things and an open feud with publishers is expected by many.
 Just before the first blasts of winter arrived, the tales went about concerning certain radio stars of national note, who were reported "snitching" songs right out from under the composers. A hard working piano thumper would turn out a national hit only to discover that Gus Glumpf, the radio croon- CT, or Sadie Blotz, the air song stress, was taking credit for it; that the name of the radio per- former was mentioned as the com poser and that credit was being traded right and left.
 Then there's quite rumpus on between writers and publishers. Not long ago, the Song Writers Protective Association was formed,
 
 such prominent names as Berlin and Romberg. The matter of roy alties, 1t seems, will be fought to a bitter end.
 If a hit song brings the writer $1,000 to $2,000 in these days, it's supposed to be lucky break. Once a neat little fortune often came with a single hit. Now it is said to amount to little more than "grub money" For few songs are hits, and when a mere thousand or so results from a success, things are bit tough.
 The song writers appointed a sort of Will Hayes of the music in- dustry - Mons. M. Koenigsburg, who formerly was connected with newspaper syndication.
 On committee, representing the Tin Tanners, are such famed writers as Sigmund Romberg, Jack Yellen, Bert Kalmer, and Ray Hen derson. Arthur Garfield Hays looks after their legal involve mentS.

JAMES CAGNEY WILL BE A GANGSTER NO MORE. STARRED
 IN WTAXIi" AT STATE SAT.

IN '"IAAlI Al olAII oh James Gagney, co-starred with Loretta Young in 'Taxi!" the War; ner Bros production which comes to the Warner State theater to- I morrow, will be a gangster no
 more. Such are the revolutionary
 tidings from Hollywood.
 In this new vehicle Cagney. late
 of "The Public Enemy" and Smart
 Money" plays an honest young taxi-driver, while Loretta Young
 will appear in the role Of a care teria cashier.
 "Taxi!" has been adapted from a play written for the stage by Ken yon Nicholson and titled Blind Spot," In a predatory note to the
 scripts of the play, MT Nicholson
 explains:
 "The setting of this play is that part of New York city which lies between 34th and 10th streets, west of Eighth avenue. The characters are the younger generation of that noisy, overcrowded section. They are not crooks or gangsters"-the author underlines this-"but hon. est, hard-working young people who live their lives to the fullest, obeying the tenets of their own
 moral and ethical codes as religi- ously as do their more fortunate
 brothers and sisters on Park ave-
 nue." Tho role played by Cagney is said to be peculiarly suited to
 him, while representing q radical departure from the assignments that have brought him his recent film celebrity.
 Loretta Young was substituted at the last moment for Joan Blondell in the leading feminine role of
 "Taxi!" The latter actress was ap-
