GOVERNOR RAPS
. CRITICS Of
PRISONS
BY DOYLE E. CARLTON,
Governor Of the State Of Florida.

News Service

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, July IA
UN.S0 Maillefert case
represents a rare exception in the
prison life of Florida. On the
whole our prisoners are we'll
cared for ana we'll treated.
Prisoners, as rapidly as their
conduct will warrant it, are
placed on their honor and on the
whole will be found to be as
contented as may be expected.
We have nearly 5000 prisoners
and one case like Maillefert'S
has brought more publicity than
2,999 others. We do not con-
done the treatment accorded
Maillefert and the State is prose
cutting the case in the most vigor-
Gus fashion.
Tried Suicide Twice
Even this case. however, is not
totally one-sided. Maillefert was
determined to beat the law. He
had attempted suicide on two
occasions.
Camp officials had exhausted
their resources to prevail upon
Maillefert to fall in line with
the prison rules.
The same officials had gone
so far as to have the visiting
chaplain counsel with him in an
effort to secure a proper outlook
on his prison life and on the
law in general.
We propose to see that
prisoners are fairly treated but
at the same time that prison
discipline is maintained. A one
sided publicity given to this
exceptional case is unfortunate
and is not a fair picture, by any
means, of Florida prison life.
Visit Camps Regularly
We keep four prison inspectors,
who visit the camps regularly;
one prison physician, who visits
all of the camps, and another
physician subject to call for each
particular camp.
Rules are issued for the handling
of the prisoners and our prison
board is vigilant in its efforts to
see a wise administration of the
prison department.
The public is invited to visit
all of our prison camps but we
respectively invite cooperation.

Why He ESCAPED

"The following" writes Sid
ney Shipman, may give you
and some of your readers a
laugh:
wherever I go I hear this
and that about the depression.
No question about it things are
mighty tough.
Would it amaze you, Mark,
to learn that it's even tough
to commit suicide these days?
Well, it is. Consider the case
Of the cloak and Suiter who
looked at his books and decided
that it would be far eaier to end
it all than to continue with the
struggle.
He arranged everything in
his office and wrote a tender
note to his beloved wife. He
sent for his secretary, gave her
some instructions, locked the
door when she walked out,
walked to- the window and
leaped out to the street that was
10 stories below.
Believe it or not, Mark, that
man escaped without a scratch.
A miracle? No, indeed. His re-
turns were piled up to the ninth

Grand Hotel Is
in Third Week

With the giltest edged cast any
picture screen has had the for
tune to exhibit, Metro -Goldwyn's
Grand Hotel" enters its third
week at Loew's Columbia. Yester-
days capacity crowds attested
that this magnificent etching of
croSs-life in cosmopolitan hotel
could go on indefinitely; it prob
ably will unless the booking
powers have already made other
arrangements. They do that
sometimes.
In case these random para
graphs should strike the notice of
some wayfarer in Saskatchewan
dt could only be such as hadn't
heard who's who in the cast) here
are the folks who define the
comedy and the Starkest tragedy
in Grand Hotel":: Garbo, John
Barrymore, Joan Crawford, Wal
lace Beery, Lionel Barrymore,
Lewis Stone, Jean Hersholt, Tully
Marshall and that many more.
Carlo is the dancer, John
Barrymore, the rogue-baron who
calls on the dancer for purposes
OF robbery and remains to love in
the grand continental manner.
Beery is the muddle-headed, pom
pous epitome Of Big Business and
Lionel Barrymore. the rather
plteous bookkeeper, having a last
fling at the life that thrashed
him at birth.

Jimmy Lake Has
Plenty Of Show

If a good show is its own adver-
tisement, Jimmy Lake will have to
rent the Auditorium to house the
clamoring crowds which will seek
admission to his Gayety Theater
this week to see his washington
Follies."
It is more than burlesque, Man
ager Lake seemingly getting his
pick of the best vaudeville skitS
available.
In the first half is offered
pretty Gladys Clark, who packs
more entertainment in five min
utes than the majority of stars
can in five times as long. Sup
porting her are the graceful and
attractive Reed Sisters, Gertie and
Rae, whose accomplishments are
we'll known.
Jeanette Alabassie, brunette
singer and dancer, continues to
score with her numbers while lit
tie Buddy Nichols whom Jimmy
Lake plucked out of the chorus
this week, justifies his confidence.
Billy Fields is still here as is his
partner, Chuck Callahan. Harry
Steppe, another old favorite re.
turns also. Jimmy Dugan, from
Chicago, who works minus funny
makeup, clicked from the start.
The chorus is that same clever
group which has been here for
the last few weeks.
The second half gives us John
Quigg, blackface accordianist;
Memo" and "Bozo," the Three
Brown Buddies," the Wonk Long
Trio, and Bob Moore. And this
is the same show which will play
for the benefit for the bonus-seek-
ing veterans Thursday at the mid
night show. There will be added
talent for that performance, how
ever.

Why He Knew

It happened, reports Morton
Goldstein, in one Of the smaller
motion picture houses on the
lower East Side. Two boys, sit
ting toward the center of the
house, were making plenty of
noise during the screening of
the feature. They were very
evidently disturbing a middle
aged Hebrew who was sitting
directly in front of them.
I'm varnink you," he NUT
tered. "If you dun't cut out
dot nonsense. I'm goink to re-
port you to de management"
The boys were quiet for a
minute or two, and then they
broke out afresh. The Hebrew
leaped from his seat and
stalked up the aisle to a
greaSy-looking usher.
II paid mine money" he an
nounced angrily, "and I de-
mand satisfaction. Two younk
loafers sittink in front of me
are making all kinds noises.
And vot'S more, dey hev al
ready seen de whole show at
list three times"
"Yeah?" mumbled the usher.
How do you know"
The complainant threw up
his hands.

Composers Sing
And Play for
Applause


Kaufman's comedy, THE Butter
and Egg Man which means
blended large gobs of Hollywood
hokum with the playwright's
sharp satire on the fly.by-night
Broadway producers-and the re-
suit is a first-class movie story
for the luSty humors of the ca
pacious mouthed Joe E. Brown.
Instead of having the mild
hammered youth from Chilicothe
fall into the hands Of the New
York sucker fishers, "The Tender.
foot" transforms the victim of
the sharpers into an amusing
and gullible cowboy from Bees
vile, Tex, one Calvin Jones.
Thin Little Story
There really isn't much story to
the Earle's feature this week.
The Tenderfoot" is a good col
lection of comedy gags with a
Broadway background. Calvin
Jones arrives in the PennSyl-
vania station with his broad
brimmed hat and $4,000 to in
vest. He encounters slick pro-
moters looking for somebody to
angel" their new musical comedy
and soon they have his fortune
and he owns 40 per cent of
turkey" show. How he turns it
into a hit is one of the new
ideas.
The big laughs come from Joe E.
Browns howls, his facility for
disposing of a mountain of syrup
flooded wheat cakes, riding a
Texas nag through crowded New
York streets, outwitting a gang
of modern racketeers by plain
and fancy work with his shooting
irons.
In spite of the fact that Holly
wood wins no medals for con-
genital casting in 1.-THE Tender
foot" Comic Brown contrives to
maintain a good laugh average.
Only when he describes his play,
Her Golden Sin," does Joe in
spire yawns. Lew Cody plays a
Broadway producer and Ginger
Rogers is the sympathetic steno-
grapher who befriends him.
Composers Score
Headlining the Earle's stage
show this week is a group of
well-known Tin Pan Alley COM
posers. The boys Who turn out
the hit tunes have assembled a
neat little act, in which their
well-remembered melodies are in
troduced, with a quartet of grand
pianos helping out the voices.
There is just enough comedy to
make a nice seasoning and the
entire musical concoction repre-
SentS entertainment we'll sold.
Showmanship sticks out all over
this act. Those who take the
bows are Percy Wenrich, Vincent
Rose, Charles Tobias, AL Sher-
man, Murray Mencher, Sidney
Glare and AL Lewis. A clever
bunch of royalty spenders.
The Vardell brothers are aero
bats who furnish a circus thrill.
Ann Greenway, SongStress, needs
better numbers to win encoreS.
Harriet HutchinS, a bright little
nut comedienne, reused some
enthusiasm by knockabout comedy
and dancing, assisted by Jerry
Smith. Maxine Doyle is the
footlight encyclopedia with smart
frocks and sweet smiles and a
couple of thank you's.
All in all, a good show. Well
worth a lobby wait and The
mad scramble for a front row
seat.

dentally, he chides the editor for
forgetting Lionel and Jack Barry

the 10 actors best known to Ameri-
can audiences. Well, I accept the

his greatness.
However, I need assistance for

I name George Arliss, George M.

fair section Ethel Barrymore,
Lynn Fontanne, Helen Hayes,
Katharine Cornell and Lenore
Uric.
What no Alfred Lunt? No, I
toss him out as an actor with
too many mannerisms and de-
pending too much upon Lynn
Fontanne for his popularity.
Maybe you can do better. Then
send in your suggestions to this
department. They will be for
warded to Artis Davis. A pair of
