Leo Runs Around

They say Leo, the M.-G.-M. lion,
is a harmless beast of the jungle.
Nevertheless, five studio employees
were injured in the mad STAN
pede when King Leo, broadcast
ing from WBz, in Boston, decided
to jump through a window and
land in the control room. There
was, as they say, ell toupe, before
Leo was whipped back into his
cage without nipping any rump
steaks. It means Leo makes no
more personal appearances before
the microphone. Who remem-

The Miracle Mar" Is Offered As
+ edture at EdrIe

Back in 1919 'The Miracle
Man" made film history and on
the crest of its success Thomas
Meighan, Betty Compson and Lon
CLANCY rode to screen fame and
riches.
|. This same story Of underworld
ScampS who made religion a racket
only to be regenerated by the
spiritual influence Of the kindly
old Patriarch is to be seen in the
1882 version at the Earle Theater
this week.
Fitted out with sound dialogue,
the conventional bath tub scene
which is the salvation of less re-
sourceful directors, and with act
ors whose names are familiar to
the current movie audience, 1.-THE
Miracle Man" can be bracketed as
just fair entertainment. No more.
No less. 1t will not again be listed
as epic.
In the interim which has
elapsed since it's earlier success,
"The Miracle Man" has been fol
lowed by such spotlighted stage
and screen narratives as Elmer
Gantry," "The Heaven Tappers, I"
"BleSs You Sister," and ''The Mir.
acle Woman" to mention a few
that come readily to mind. So
that the realm of commercialized
religion has been fairly well ex-
plored and the old revelations
have familiar sound.
THE Miracle Man" offers Syl-

important roles. There is no out

Symphony Of Six
Million Stays
On at Keith S

THE Symphony of Six Mil
lion," which is being held over
another week at R-K-O Keith's
is a slice of New York life that
may be unfamiliar to the gen.
eral run of movie-goers outside
the metropolis, but there is no
mistaking the universal appeal Of
this tale of family devotion and
Self-sacrifice.
Fanny Hurst is at her best
in writing about her own peo-
pie and the Symphony is un-
doubtedly one of her most sat
isfying pictures of ghetto life.
The aspirations and hopes of this
family centered in the eldest
son and the youths working out
his own salvation as a physician
make a very moving tale.
There are few dry eyes in the
audience when the surgeon
makes the supreme test of his
skill, with the life Of his own
father hanging in the balance.
Ricardo Cortez, as the young
Jewish surgeon, and Irene Dunno
as his crippled sweetheart offer
truly remarkable portrayalS.
Gregory Ratoff and Anna Appel
give them fine support.
AS a relief from the emo
tional havoc of the feature pic
ture there is an uproarious bur
lesque of the Girl of the Golden
West, produced by a group known
as the MaSquerS.
Fanny Hurst may be seen this
week in the newsreel in force

added attraction. II. V.

Grateful Worker

AS most of the workers were
taking their departure, George
stepped up to the millionaire.
Boss" he said, "yo' suah
has been very kind to me, an
All wants yo' to know dat All
'preciates it highly. All enjoys
bein' round such a man as yo'
an Ah'm mighty sorry All has
to go away"
The big man smiled.
George" he replied, 1--WE
grown to like you, too. And,
now that I come to think of
it, 1 don't see any reason why
you should have to leave here.
Maybe I can find something
for you to do"
He paused for a second.
Then he nodded.
Here's an idea." he went
on. You know the little shack
that some of the workmen have
been living in? Well, suppose
we leave it standing for awhile
and you use it as your home.
Wen see that you get plenty to
eat.
Meanwhile, until I think of
something that you can do
around here, you just rest up
and enjoy yourself. Well just
say that you're on a vacation.
How does the idea strike you?"
Georges map was a thing of
beauty.
Boss" he chirped, "if any,
body thinks dey're gonna beat
that idea, dey're crazy. OATS
the best idea in the world!"
Establishes a Home
So George Washington Will
1iams established himself in
that rude shack-and there he
remained. The weeks turned
into months and the months
into years. He did no work Of
any kind. The millionaire's
family grew accustomed to the
man and nobody ever annoyed
him. He had his food daily,
and the wealthy man saw to
1t that he always had Suffi-
cient money to meet his
simple needs.
1t was an unusual case, Of
course, but it happens to be the
absolute truth. There was no
reason why the owner should
have supported this man. He
merely ha[ 4>en2d to like him.
And when you have the money
to back such likings, guess
that's reason enough.
About two weeks ago, the
millionaire was walking around
his estate with one of New
York's beSt-known attorneys.
They were talking of this and
that, and the lawyer was
enthusing over the grand piece
Of property. AS they came to
a bend in the road, the attor-
ney pointed to a small shack
several hundred yards away.
Whats that?" he asked.
The millionaire laughed.
There's a story behind that
dilapidated shack" he said.
'It is occupied by none other
than Mr.. George Washington
Williams, a colored gentleman
whom I met many years ago.
He was here when I built my
property and I permitted him
to live on here until I found
him a job.
THAT was some 20 years
ago-and he still hasn't any
job. But he seems to think

sometimes wish he'd fix up
that shack a little bit, but
he insists that everything
be left exactly as it is. I
think maybe he's a trifle
lazy"
The attorney shook his head.
you may think, Harry"
he stated, that this is a joke.
Knowing your easy-going ma
ture, I suppose that's just the
way you feel. But let me tell
you something, my friend.
That colored man is liable to

the lawyer. Suppose some

You're making a serious mis-

The millionaire sighed.
"All right" he murmured
We'll walk over to see George
right now and fix it up. But,
I tell you, it's all to silly for
words"
Several minutes later found
both men entering the colored
mans shack. The latter gentle.
man was stretched out on a
sofa and seemed to be at COM
plete peace with the world.
His vacation of 20 years had
done him no end of good.
George, my boy" said the
owner jovially, IT have news
for you. There is going to be
a slight change around here.
Due to the depression and
such, you are now going to
pay rent for your shack"
George blinked.
"Rent?" he repeated.
Exactly" returned the mil
lionaire. From this minute on,
I am your landlord and you
are my tenant. And do you
know how much rent you are
going to pay? One dollar a
year! Think Of that, George.
That's to be your rent. One
dollar a year!"
The colored man didn't seem
any too happy about the news.
His long face grew longer.

the owner.

Binetallisn

The following short editorial, taken from the London Satur- day Review, indicates that not only in this country but in Eng land as we'll are thinking peop- le favoring the remonetization of silver as the only means to bolster up the gold standard, a failure in Great Britain and tot tering in this country. The last sentence is particularly con- vincing, especially when pro- rIosals are rife in our congress to initiate the currency by simp- ly printing huge issues of paper money. Silver is preferable and it's reconciliation is the only solution.
 "The arguments put forward by Sir Robert Horne at the Royal Empire society in favor of bimetallism appear to be convincing. The world is suf- fering from an actual shortage of gold, and that shortage is, of course, aggravated by the fact that the bulk of the avail able gold is now concentrated, and indeed hoarded, in two countries, which no longer use it as a commodity. Since no considerable additions h a e been made to the gold stocks of the world in recent years, the gold standard has broken down both from physical and artificial causes, and an altern- ative currency is plainly nec- essary. It is hardly necessary to argue the point that silver is preferable 10 papedr."- Wall ace (Idaho) Press-Times.

Somers of the House Coin age Committee predicted after conference with Hoover that We'll be able to work a com promise plan to help silver and stabilize exchange.
 Both Somers and Represent ative Perkins, ranking repub- lican on the Coinage Commit tee, talked with the president on the silver question. Perkins said afterward that he discuss ed the resolution the Commit tee has prepared suggesting an international conference O Il monetary bases.
 Somers indicated, however, that while the president is not willing to accept an outright direction to call a conference, he would agree to a compuom- ise proposal including some- thing specific" By something specific" the president evi- dently means a concrete plan for remonetization based upon proposals likely to be accept able to the foreign powers. This is in line with his intimat- ion to Senator Jones that Con- gress should present him with a concrete proposal for remon- citation of the white metal.

 Representative Evans of Mon- tana, explaining the measure, said:
 Due to circumstances over which they have no control and for which they were in no wise to blame, thousands of small mine claimants through out the west are today in dan ger of losing their property be- cause they are unable to se- cure the money with which to do the required improvement work.

Eagle and Seal Bounty
 Funds Are Exhausted

Funds for the payment of Territorial bounties on hair seals and eagles are totally ex- hausted and no more bounties can be paid by the Territory until more funds are appropri- ated for the purpose by the Alaska Legislature, it was an- nounced a few days ago by w. G. Smith, Territorial Treasur- CT.
 This does not mean that no more seal and eagle bounties will be allowed, as MT. Smith said claims for such bouun- ties will be received and listed by his office as usual, but will be held until funds are provid- ed by the Legislature next spring. Warrants will then be mailed to claimants.
 T he last Legislature appro- priated $17,500 for hair seal bounties and $5,O0O for eagles. At the rate of $2 for seals and $1. for eagles, bounties have been paid so far on 8,750 hair seals and 5000 eagles.
 A balance of the $40,000 ap- propriated for the payment of
