Then again, one such bill, vital to GER

this is likely to happen even to an un-

Senator Tillman held up both houses

insisted on an appropriation of S47,000

HERE is THE
BEST AFRICAN MOVIE

So you will understand me clearly,
it is my opinion that "Congorilla"
as photographed and sounded" in
Strangest parts of Africa by Mr.. and
Mrs. Martin Johnson, is the best of
the African pictures not because it
is the most human.
The best natural comedy I have
seen on the screen in the last ten
years is when Johnson gives two
pygmies their first cigar.
Here is true comedy and most
effective. 1t is these human touches
in "Congorilla" that makes it such
a pleasant experience in the theater.
In this movie you are not so much
concerned with the murder" among
wild animals but rather the humor
of simple natives and animals.
For additional proof, study the
comedy, natural and true, of baby
gorilla and chimpanzee with Mrs.
Martin.
Never in the history of the movies
have so many real gorillaS and
pygmles been photographed in one
picture.
The theater that you discover here
is natural theater and not flctious
Hollywood jungles. You see wilc
animal and native life was as the
Johnsons found it in their long stay
in wild Africa.
If you think that this picture i;
just the regulation African trave
movie, then you are wrong.
Be sure and take the entire family
to "Congorilla," because it is 8
human document.

DISAGREE over
BUSINESS TREND
Two U. S. Departments See
Differently.

By Scripps-H OtCGrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Aug. Coon
flicting reports as to the economic
condition of the country were made
public today by two departments OF
the federal government.
The labor department reported an
improvement in employment, while
the commerce department found
only dullness and some further
slackening."
Reports of the United States en-
ployment service reveal that July
witnessed the first really noticeable
expansion in industrial activity that
has occurred so far this year." said
the report from the labor depart
ment.
There also were strong indica-
tionS that this upward trend in en-
ployment was not entirely of q
temporary character"
The commerce department, less
optimistic, reported:
Business remains under the in
fuence of midsummer dizziness, and
the weekly statistics assembled by
the survey of current business re-
veal some further slackening in sew
eral lines of activity
Business failure for the week
were the largest since last April. For

ity dropped to 522, as compared

CUTTING FRAY
CAUSES DEATH
Wounded Man Found Lying
in Front of Home.

Wounds received in a cutting fray
Sunday night resulted in the death
early today of Bedford Patterson,
81, of 1888 Hillside avenue, at city
hospital.
Patterson was found lying on the
sidewalk in front of his home early
Sunday night with wound across
the abdomen. He told police he
had been cut by Dumas Weathers,
%, of 2271 Hillside avenue.
When arrested, Weathers is said
to have admitted slashing Patterson,
but said he was defending himself
after Patterson had struck him
several times with a hammer.
The hammer was found, but the
knife was not located by police.
Two women, Ada Patterson, wife
of the dead man, and Lorena
Weathers, 80, of 2736 North Eastern
avenue, are held on vagrancy
charges.

Jimmy and Durante lets out one of
his chuckles which is loved by
every one who goes to the theater.
Jimmy is a ham trouper in this
story but loyal as he is clever To
my way of thinking, Keaton's pan"
meaning his never changing face,
has never photographed to better
advantage than in Speak Easily"
And I will state that Durante by
his work in this picture has firmly
established himself on Che screen.
I believe that I am not becoming
careless in my words when I state
that this is the best vehicle from
a comedy standpoint that these two
men have ever had on the screen.
My suggestion is that you catch
this picture at the beginning and
not in the middle because the open
ing scenes are necessary to under
stand the character played by Kea-
ton.
Keaton has convinced me this
time that he is a great Snowman
when he has a real vehicle Watch
the way he packs his trunk. Also
watch him near the close of the
picture when his dumbness turns a
flop show into hit.
The chief feminine leads are
played by Thelma Todd and Ruth
Selwyn. It seems that Thelma is
getting a big break on the local
screen this week.

with me that Jimmy and Buster

NEGROES GROW LIGHTER
Color Is Changing, Survey Reveals

BIZ Science Serrice
NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-Negroes in
America are becoming lighter in
color, as a race. but a considerable
range in duskiness of skin always

are among the results of a study of
associative mating for color among
Negroes, made by DR.. Irene Barnes

presented here today before the
Third International Congress Of Eu-

Little new white blood now is en-

America, DR.. Taeuber stated. Never

lighter colored stock already in ex-
