GREAT SHOW AT NEW GARDEN
 TO-DAY AND TOMORROW

The intriguing story of Com promised" the First National pie ture featuring Ben Lyon and Rose Hobart, and coming to the New Garden theater to-day for a two day showing Is a modern version of the immortal Cinderella yarn. Miss Hobart, when the picture opens, is @ slavey in New Eng land milltown boardinghouse. Ben Lyon Is the star boarder there and the son of a millionaire. He is holding 8 humble job in the fac- tories to learn the business. The fact that he in time marries the girl is the basis for a story of roc mantle charm and tense drama. "Compromised" will be enjoyed by all the family.
 The companion feature is "Cap- tain Thunder" with Fay Wray and Victor varconi. He breaks heads and hearts, but never his word this stormy lover with lightning technique. One bad hombre but @ good one to know. If you're a wom- an, he'll love you. If you're man, he'll murder off your enemies. Any little favor to oblige a friend. Here's comedy and excitement--- the perfect combination for enter- tainment. The comedy feature Is Catch as Catch Can" with Laurel and Hardy and it's one of the very best these two popular funsters have made to date. Also on the program Is a number of enterest- ing shorts. The extra attraction to. morrow is Country Store when 30 baskets of choice eatables will be given to patrons who are present by Si Crabtree, master of cere- monies.

"The Woman From Monte Carlo'' Starring HI Dagover, Now Eu- Wpean Sensation, and Walter Huston Coming to State To. morrow.

LII Dagover, the exotic Euro- pean sensation who comes to War her Brothers State theater tomor- row in "The Woman From Monter Carlo" says she is glad her parents were unusual enough to christen her 'Lilith,' name to be reckoned with in this world.
 Lilith, according to tradition, was the worlds first woman and the first wife of Adam, whom she de- serted for more exciting life than the Garden afforded, and SO made necessary the creation of the second woman, Eve.
 Though Dagover has shortened the name to LII, to better suit her changing moods of extreme elation and depression, she is an earnest student of the occult, and sets real store by her unusual cognomen. "Yes," Dagover says with smile. "Lilith was very naughty woman but misunderstood Adam, maybe he was to blame Q little too. Any. how, all he did was to stay at home and tend the Garden. LAlith had the courage to go out and see the world! I am not sorry to be named Lilith!"
 Miss Dagover is supported in "The Woman From Monte Carlo" by Walter Huston, Warren Will liam, George E. Stone, John Wray. Robert Warwick, Oscar Apfel and many other screen favorites Mich- ael Curtiz directed with distinction for First National release. --.-

CLAIM AMERICAN
 LEGION AGAINST
 ANY MORE BONUS
Secretary Joslin Says ,COmfnan der Stevens
 Told President Hoover the Veterans Opposed It

Washington, April 6.-(UP)- The National American Legion or- ganization, according to White House announcement, is solid1y supporting President Hoover's eff forts to block the growing senti- ment in congress for a $2,000,00O,- 900 war veterans cash bonus. Secretary Theodore Joslin an- nounced that Henry l.. Stevens, national commander of the Legion, had informed the president that the national organization strongly endorsed his opposition to any fur ther appropriation at this time for payment of World war veterans compensation. Joslin did not elab- crate on this statement or make public Stevens communication to the president.
 Bonus advocates are concentrat- ing now on the Patman proposal for paying off the veterans in full with a $2,000,000,000 issue of new currency backed by 40 per cent of gold. They contend this would not harm the governments credit or business. On the contrary, Rep Rankin, dem, Miss, claims such imitation would stimulate prices and start the wheels of busi- ness turning in all lines of indus try,"

Washington, April 6-(UP)-
 Liquor and beer have definite
 medicinal and curative value, the
 House judiciary committee was in-
 formed to-day by medical men, in-
 cluding a representative of the
 American Medical association.
 The witnesses appeared in behalf
 of the Rockefeller bill removing the restrictions on prescriptions of liquor and the Goss bill permitting more liberal prescriptions of beer.
 "It is a question of practical re- suits to the patient" testified Will
 liam c. Woodward, Chicago, coun- sel of the American Medical asso- citation.
 "A physician hates to stand by and see a patient whom he could l relieve being restricted from use of the proper medicine"
 Woodward said near beer was deprived of the nutriment con tained in real beer.
 Representative Goss, republican, Connecticut, produced a letter from Dr s. W. Lambert, New York, in which the physician endorsed the use of beer in medical treat ment. Amos W. W. Woodcock, director of prohibition, testified he would be willing to accept modifications in the stringent restrictions of is- suance of medicinal nduor permits. He endorsed the pending Beck Celler bill in a general way. He asked that only one of its provi- sion be stricken out. the paragraph stating there should be no limit to the number of prescriptions issued.
