didn't give away any secrets In his speech. Among the club members present, for instance, was MT Rob- ert H. Lucas, executive chairman of the republican national com- mittee who also had a very nice time.
 The president-elect was equally discreet at his formal press con ferences, which nevertheless pro- yided additional gusto.
 His second and last press confer ence was staged just before he left for Warm Springs, Ga. He ate scrambled eggs from tray in his
 lap--his lunch-and answered questions.
 He answered so we'll that ones most vivid recollection of anything
 he said was his assertion that the correspondents knew just as much about 1t as he did. The congress- men who had conferred with him had been buzzed by the correspon- dents, so that was party true. The scrambled eggs disappeared rap idly.
 Occasionally the governor led the crowd of correspondents in a gale of hearty, infectious laughter after sparkling sally which deftly warded off leading question. He
 had a fine wide-mouthed laugh which is in sharp contrast with President Hoover's rare chuckle, or giggle-as some call 1t. He was wearing a soft collar, which is much safer for the sort of laugh which Roosevelt laughs. MT Hoov- CT always wears stiff collar.
 After sitting in on two or, three sessions with the next president all most anyone would be convinced that, in the words of the song whose music the bands always plays for him, Happy Days Are Here Again!" Roosevelt thinks SO, anyway. And if gusto has anything 10 do with it, he's right.

We don't know whether there was any excitement in Washington this week other than that attendant on the reopening of Congress next Monday. But Conneeticuts petition to Congress to repeal the 18th amendment was forwarded to Congress yes terday by the Secretary of State. There was no record of the vote by which Connecticut citizens showed their preference, as the law does not require this. Let Congress heed the demand of the good citizens of the state of Connecticut and act accordingly.

deared him to young and old read

1.-THE Old Homestead" when he said
to it's author-"God bless you, Den

premise of cleanliness and whole
someness that Berkell considered

RADIO STORY
NOW AT PALACE

Mysteries of radio sound effects
and the modus operandi Of storms,
bridge crashes, racing horses and
other incidentals to broadcasted
drama, proved excellent comedy
material for "Are You Listening?"
a picture laid in the atmosphere of
national broadcasting station.
The film is based on the widely
read ]. P. McAvoy radio story which
opened Friday at Loew's Palace.
The applause machine" with
which handclasps are manufactured
to create applause in the right spots
in broadcaStS of musical numbers,
the thunder chute" in which can
nonballs are rolled down a wooden
frame to reproduce the roar of
storm, the wind whistle" with
which artificial gales are created
are all worked by actual radio
broadcast experts in order to make
the scenes as authentic as pos
sible.
Some Of their secrets are peculiar,
as for instance, the crashing of
timbers which is reproduced by
breaking matches two inches from
the microphone.
The action of the plot takes place
for the most part within the broad
casting plant and its principals are
all persons engaged in radio activ-
ity.
The story shifts from the life
behind the scenes" in the radio
station to depict what happens
when the entertainers go home to
their individual problems and con-
flicts.
William Haines, who last scored in
Get Rich-Quick Wallingford," plays
his first straight dramatic role in
this picture, as the continuity writ
err whose home life is made miser-
able by an unsympathetic wife and
who through a series of dramatic
events, ultimately becomes a fugi-
tive from justice.
Madge Evans has the principal
feminine role and the large cast
also includes Anita Page, Katen
Morley, Neil Hamilton, Wallace
Ford, Jean Hersholt, Joan Marsh,
John MILAN, Murray Kinnell and
Ethel Critics.

ance of the program will include

Hit
to Be Next
at Keith S
The Old Homestead to
Open Sunday Night
for Week.

When "The Old Homestead" per-
haps the greatest of all rural COM
edy dramas to have reached the
American stage, was originally pro-
duced at the Academy theater in
New York City. 1t established a rec
ord by remaining in the metropolis
for four consecutive seasons.
The play was for many years
afterwafd one of the biggest box
Office drawing cards that the stage
has ever known.
The Berkell players will give 1.-THE
Old Homestead" it's first stock pro-
duction in Indianapolis next week
at Keith's, and in addition to the
augmented cast required Charles
Berkell is bringing back Ezra Buzz
zington's RUDE band as a special
added feature.
Ezra Buzzington's RUDE band,
though vaudeville headline at
traction for number of seasons, is
distinctly a Hoosier product.
1t is headed by Mark D. Schafer,
who owns and operates a farm in
Randolph county where he makes
his home when he is not on tour.
The band made a hit at Keiths
in the Berkell revival of ISIS Hop
kins" last January. In 1.-THE Old
Homestead" which is quite as ap-
70 sa11
making talents of the members of
this unique organization as was
ISIS Hopkins" the band will appear
in an entirely new routine of tunes,
songs, dances and comedy innova-
lions. Since playing with the Ber-
kel company at Keith's in January
the band has completed engage
mentS that took it to the Pacific
coast and back.
