PARAMOUNT THEATRE

Marie Dressler, the star of Min

comedy, Emma" now showing at the
Paramount Theatre.
Supporting Marie DRESSER Is q
large and talented cast including
Jean Hersholt, Myrna 10y, John Mil
jan, Barbara Kent and Purnell Pratt.
In Emma" Marie Dressler has the
best opportunity OF her career. Like
Min and Bill it combines grand,
easy flowing comedy with well told,
suspense filled story which the tai
entS of Marie Dressler make absorb
ing and interesting. As Emma" you
see Marie Dressler as housekeeper
who, for twenty-five years, has cared
for a millionaire inventor and his
motherless children. When the In
ventor, tired of his lonely life, secret
ly marries Emma, the children are
shocked and refuse to recognize En-
ma as their legal step mother. But
when the inventor dies suddenly fol-
lowing his marriage, leaving his entire
fortune to Emma, the children not
only contest the will but actually &C
cuse Emma of causing their fathers
death.
Emma was written expressly Tor
Marie Dressler by the we'll known
screen author, Frances Marion who
also wrote Min and Bill and the
Champ" The direction is credited to
Clarence Brown, maker Of the recent
loan Crawford success, Possessed"

Dazzling gowns = seventeen, to be

Starting with one of the best stories
ever assigned to her, Miss Bennett
was given a hit director, q sterling
supporting cast and an exceedingly
lavish production all resulting in ex-
cellent entertainment.
Lady With Past" is an ultra
modern comedy on the Sophisticated
side, with just enough romance to
add dash and flavor. The characters
are human and speak brilliant lines
which ring true for all their witness,
the situations are unique and amusing
and the theme is of fundamental ap-
peal.
Beu Lyons role of the gigolo is Sec
ond in Importance to that of the star
as Venice, and his characterization
leaves nothing to be desired. It is 4
great role, fat In comedy possibilities
and human touches, and Lyons inter-
probation of it Is high light Of the

L. S. is OPPOSED TO
ECONOMIC BOYCOTT

Washington, Feb. 29.-(P-1t is
now definitely established that this
government is opposed to any plan
for an economic boycott against
Japan. and that the major European
powers tend to agree with this stand.
The enormous hazards to peace of
such move, plus the reaction on
the domestic industries drawing raw
materials from the country being
boycotted are considered here suffi-
cient to outweigh the benefits OBJ
tainable. The stand of the big for
eign countries has been reported by
American observers abroad, who in
dictate the boycott sentiment largely
is limited to the smaller nations,
which would not be so directly in
volved in the consequences.
The definite rundown of the boy
colt idea removes the U. S. from any
participation in or approval of di-
rect action upon the belligerents. It
limits the American stand to en-
ployment of moral force and world
sentiment to discourage violation of
treaties.
President Hoover is represented as
feeling that this means-embodied in
the outspoken American declaration
that no gains Japan might make
through her military operations in
Chinese territory would be recognized
by this country-iS more powerful
than any embargo.

SPEAKER GARNER IS
ATTACKED IN TALK
BY SENATOR MOSES
New Hampshire Scion Scores
Democrat For Speech
About President

Washington. Feb. 29.-lP,-The Re-
publican attack on Speaker Garner as
a potential Democratic presidential
candidate has begun in earnest.
George Moses, the New Hampshire
senator, started something lively Sun
day with the declaration that while
the Democratic head man in the
house was blaming President Hoover
for starting a panic. he should have
piled upon the chief executive respon-
sibility for the rest of the worlds ills
Doubtless" he observed, these
and other charges against Mr.. Hoover
will be formulated by the speaker as
he advances in his campaign for the
presidency and as soon as he deter
mines the more pressing question
whether he is running as a wet or
dry"
Garner issued a reply. Apparently.
he said. Moses had given about as
much thought to his utterance as he
did before making the now famous
remark about the sons of the wild
jackass"
I'm fact. the senator's statement
will be. as usual. quite amusing to the
reactionary element in the Republican
party"
And that was all.
Looking outside Washington. po-
litical observers noted the young
tempest unleashed in New York state
by Samuel Seabury's attack on Tam
many and criticism of Governor
Roosevelt. Into it have been read
presidential or vice presidential in
tentions on the part of the New York
graft-charge investigator.
Down in Alabama movement was
started to elect an unpledged delega-
ton to the national convention in
place of straight pro-Roosevelt
slate. It's hackers disclaimed any in
tention to stop Roosevelt but made
no mention OF supporting any other
candidate. seeking merely a free hand.
Local politics apparently had bear
ing on the development
A Montana authority, j. Bruce
Kremer. national committeeman de-
livered his opinion in New York the
