The "Kingfish" faced a fight
for his seat in the convention
at the outset of toddys session,
and he was on the job early.

way the rules fight terminated,
for he had been one of the
Roosevelt ringleaders in the

ballot by a majority vote, the
"KingfiSh" nevertheless was his

 The story is laid in Paris in the year 1840 and has to do with a half demented medical man intent on crossing the blood of a gigantic ape with that of a white girl. Dr Mirakle is the fiend and he is mar velously impersonated by none other than "Dracula" himself, Bella Lugosi.
 Mirakle causes the death of three beautiful Parisian girls in carrying out his nefarious experiment. Sud- denly the dumb affection of the ape is attracted by Sidney Fox who plays the difficult role of Camille L'Espanaye with charm and finish ed artistry such as she exhibited in Strictly Dishonorable."
 Mirakle feeling that Camille will form an ideal subject for further experiments captures her with the aid of ape and the ensuing events which follow make Murders in the Rue Morgue" the most gruesomely thrilling picture in the history of the talking screen.
 The climax of the story which takes place on the roof tops of Paris is said to be filled with hair raising suspense and fast-moving drama.
 Lugosi makes Dr Mirakle an even more menacing figure thar "Dracula" in which he created g sensation last season. Miss Fox the rare ability and girlish beauty which have already marked her fol stardom.

The second of the three-one-act plays to be staged in the workshop program at Elks hall on February 23d is "The Female of the Species" by William J. Pape. Mir Pape needs no introduction to members of the Little Theater nor, for that matter, to Waterburians in general. For some time he has been boss carpenter in the construction of the scenery for public perfor- mances of the league. The cast which is to perform in this sketch is also well known and deservedly well liked by those who saw "The Devil in the Cheese" "Remote Control and others. Messrs Green, Gibbs, Mulcahy and Webster are the quartet in question and what of the species isn't worth while.

The play which they select will be produced late in April or early in May and the casting will be done shortly after Hotel Universe" has been pro- claimed a huge success. At the present time the committee is try ing to decide whether another re- vival should be attempted or whether a comedy or romantic play would be more fitting. Among those works which are being read are: "The Queens Husband" "The

BLAME SUN SPOTS
FOR "HARD TINES

If the sun didn't put us on the
spot, then it put its spots on us. In
other words, the suns spots caused
the depression (hard times have been
blamed on almost everything else, so
why not on the sun?). A study of
sun spots made by the Dominion OBJ
servatory of the department Of in
terror at Ottawa, Can, is reported
to have indicated that profound
fluctuations in living conditions and
life in general accompany fiuctua-
lions in these heavenly or solar
phenomena. A recent bulletin from
that department points out that in
dividual sun spots vary greatly in
size, some being as small as the
earth while others are five or six
times as large. Complete records of
sun spots kept by certain countries
since 1850 show that each month
can be assigned relative sun spot
number. From these monthly num-
bers a yearly average is figured.
The yearly numbers are said to in
crease from a minimum to maxi
mum in from nine to fourteen years
with an average duration for cycle
Of about eleven years. This fiuctua

Then it was that "the godlike Webster" ut
tered the words which have come ringing down
the years a masterpiece of oratory, from
which these two passages are forever famous:
"Mr. President, shall enter on no encomium
upon Massachusetts; she needs none There
she stands Behold her and Judge for yourself.
There is her history; the world knows it by
heart. The past, at least, is secure. There is
Boston, and Concord, and Lexington, and Bunker
Hill; and there they will remain forever The
bones of her sons, falling in the great struggle
for independence now lie mingled with the soil
of every state from New England to Georgia:
and there they will lie forever. And sir, where
American liberty raised its first voice.. and where
its youth was nurtured, and sustained, there
1t still lives in the strength of its manhood and
full of its original spirit If dscord and dsunion
shall wound it, If party strife and blind ambi-
ton shall hawk at and tear it. If folly and mad
ness, If uneasiness under necessary and salutary
restraint shall succeed in separating it from that
Union by which alone its existence is made sure,
1t will stand, in the end, by the side of that
cradle in which its infancy was rocked; it will
stretch forth its arm with whatever vigor it may
still retain, over the friends who gather round
it; and it will fall at last, if fall 1t must, amidst
the proudest monuments of its own glory and on
the very spot Of its origin"
