tions. He is easily the heroic type,
and has no difficulty in meeting the
demands of the play of action. 1t is
not necessary to read anything into
his work, for the good quality of
effective fiction is made obvious,
Mr.. Karloff, however, does excellent
work as the man to whom life of
others is unimportant when 1t Is
necessary to escape detection.
"Behind the Mask" is an incident
il the suppression of the traffic in
drugs, and it is notable for the sue
cession of incidents showing that
the tsint of the law breaker may
extend into the circles that are as
sumed to be devoted to upholding
the law. Time after time, as the
play proceeds, those who are fight
ing the drug ring believe they have
solved their problem, only to find
that some of their supposed support
has been dominated by the drug
ring. Mr.. Holt, in general, gives an
exhibition of shFeWdness, but in the
closing scenes is caught mapping,
with prospect Of complete defeat.
This disaster is averted by accident,
when the young woman Julie comes
TO Lne rescue. 11llS FEMININE role
is played by Constance Cummings,
and while its demands are not so
great as some that have been met
by this actress, her talent is we'll
devoted to the task of creating a
well knit drama.
The stage program at the Earle
offers the customary variety, but
there is an exceptional amount of
originality in the acts that gives
them quality above the average. On
account of illness, which affected
the original booking, Russ Brown
and Eileen Cook have been added to
the program, and they demonstrate
their comedy skill along with the
sight act that they present. Dave
Jones and Peggy, with David Kraft,
Marjorie johnson and Emily Verdi,
are masters of the dance in many
forms, while Chris Charlton offers
new magic, and the Three Cossacks
have about the best of all skating

Mr.. Mellon.
1t is customary for retiring cabinet
officers TO purchase the chair occupied

case of Mr.. Mellon the members of Mr..
Hoover's official family have been
moved by Mr.. Melons long service
under three Presidents to present his
chair to him as a tribute of their af-
lection and appreciation of his public
service.
This historic chair is still in the cabi-
net room, not at its former place at
the end Of the table TO the left Of the
Presidents seat, having been moved to
a corner Of the cabinet room to give
way to the new chair occupied now by

THERE'S something peculiarly sat-
isfying about "The once Girl"
this weeks film at R-K-O Keith's.
A BfitlAh product, known In Jolly
England (and much more apprcpri.
ately) as Sunshine SUSIE" 1t Is q
pleasantest and foolishest humor
seen round and about for q long
time. Distinctly different" 1t is
recommended To those who have
forgotten that the screen can be ec-
casionally witty, and 1t Is also pos
sihly the first example of John Bull
film which Is head and shoulders
above some OF the Union Jacks out

Office Girl" is. of course. not to be
taken seriously. Distinctly light-it
Is also rtdieuleusly bright. 1t has as
chief assets that grandly satirical
clown, Jack Hubert, known inti-
mately to London musical revue au-
dienees, whose duties in this are the
main source of merriment, In fact,
all choir leaders, orchestral condue-
tors, and eapella eheristers in town
are urged to view that particular
scene in the beer garden where Mr..
Hubert leads his whiskered tenors
and baSses through a series of songs.
THIS garden" flesta, and its comic
consequences, are reason enough for
enjoying film which only OCCASION
ally becomes trite, and which is more
OFTEN than not pleasing and a
more than satisfying diversion.
Among the high points are Re-
nate Muller, Viennesse actress,
whose smile is knockout (even if
she Is inclined to giggle incessant-
ly), a series of lifting songs which
should soon be strong on the mar
ket, the comedy supplied by Jack
Hubert and the manner in which
music, dialogue and situation merge.
While the story Is the old one
about girl who falls in love with
her employer, it never gets in the
way, and gives ample opportunity
for those concerned to evoke their
grandest talents. Perhaps we are
wrong, but the whole thing seemed
full of chuckles and gurgles and
put us in the best humor since Mae
West suddenly announced that she
would play Lady Macbeth"
To augment the weeks merri-
ment, Manager Meakin has handed
himself an elegant" stage show.
Included as spotlight entertainers
are such celebrities as Miss Lee

the territory it serves, this fast
freight service actually beats the
mails.
A new system for handling live
stock shipments which has just
been established by an enterpris-
ing midwestern railroad, is de-
scribed as follows:
"On designated days the local
station agent receives livestock
from the shippers of his commun-
ity, marks the animals for identi-
fication, consolidates them into
carloads and sends them to mar
ket. The shipper is allowed the
lowest carlot rate, whether his
consignment is one head or one
hundred"
Most rail executives emphatic
ally state that branch line pas
senger business has gone forever
to the privately owned automo-
bile. About freight business, they
were uncertain. In number of
instances, according to the article,
notable economies in branch line
operation were achieved by light
er equipment-rail cars with in
ternal combustion engines; but in
general the author found little
thought has been given to increas-
ing the skeletonized service now
offered to small towns on branch
lines.
His extensive study, Mr.. Hibbs
states, leaves him hesitant about
predicting the ultimate fate of the
railroads. On the one hand, and
not very far away, he sees "the
melancholy shoals of government
ownership" while on the other
hand is "the quiet port of a well
ordered and coordinated, but reas-
onably competitive, transportation
system"
