CAPITOL FILLS W HEN POLITICS. GOES ON SCREEN
Marie Dressler in Famous Comedy to Appear
 Again Tonight

Politics" with Marie Dressler and Polly Moran in the principal roles, showed to capacity audiences last night at the Capitol theatre. Preceding the presentation of the hilarious comedy, the Mickey Mouse Band played at Triangle Place and the nearby sidewalks were crowded with delighted auditors.
 Politics" will be repeated to- night Silver Night 'aslo falls tonight. A Npiece of table silver ware will be given every woman at. tending either of the evening per- formances.
 Path0s And Laughter.
 In Politics in which Miss Dress Ter makes her first appearance as full-fledged cinema star, pathos mingles with laughter, and thrills compete with heart interest
 Perhaps the story was purposely written to give her an opportunity to show every side of her many talents. Anyhow, it does.
 She gets roars of laughter in her comedy scenes with Miss Moran. In the vivid scene in the political meeting where Miss Dressler faces the crooked mayor, she does an ex- fine piece of character work, as, from a tinnid housewife, she changes to an accusing figure representing womanhood and dom- mates the scene by sheer force of personality.
 Is Of Both Types
 Those who have seen her in Anna Christie" or Min and Bill know her character work. Those who have seen Caught Short or Reducing know how she gamers laughs. In this picture Marie Dressler is of both types
 The theme of the play is that ] Miss Dressler is a candidate for mayor Her campaign manager is Miss Moran.
 Excruciatlingly Funny
 The scenes at the rally are ex- funny.
 The love interest is represented oy two personable young people, ] Bakewell and Karen Mor- ey. John Milan contributes wick edness as the sinister gangster leader. Tom Mcclure excels in character work as the crooked mayor Joan Marsh, as the girl victim of the gangs is appealing n her histrionic art and with her beauty. An outstanding comedy figure is Roscoe Ates, stut- Iering comedian of The Big House. as Polly's husband.

STREET SCENE WILL PREvIEW
 AT 1 TONIGHT
Estelle Taylor Has Strong Role Tn Prize
 Stage Drama

The year of 1881 marked the end of Mrs. Jack Dempsey and the re- turn of Estelle Taylor. And even while the front pages of the press were heralding the conclusion of her matrimonial venture, the movie camera was recording another change of consequence. For, in Starting anew the career she sacri- feed to become the wife of tae worlds heavyweight champion, Es- telle Taylor was to portray her first sympathetic character on the screen.
 Two Years In New York
 Samuel Goldwyn's screen version of Street Scene the Elmer Rice prize drama which ran two solid years in New York, is the vehicle in which Mis- Taylor's character change takes place. And it is un- der the direction of King Vidor, that it is accomplished.
 Miss Taylor,s role in Street Scene" which will be preyiewed at the Capitol theatre at 1 o'clock to- night and be shown at regular per- forlnances Sunday, is that of Mrs. Maurrant. the mother whose tragic life forms the burden around which the poignant and gripping drama revolves. ,o
 Pcrtrays Mrs. Maurrant
 The fact that this Mrs. Maurrant is unfaithful to her husband and pays with her life for her trans gressions, may to those who do not know Elmer Rice's story. sound like the Estelle Taylor of old, the vampire.
 But this famous playwright did not set out to jerk the strings of an eternal triangle He wrote of woman wronged by life, mother. devoted to her children and dutiful to her husband in the ministrations of her humble home. But the sor- didness and drabness of life for a woman whose heart cries out for sympathy and tenderness has it's breaking point in Mrs, Maur- rant it is the point where defiance begins.
 Pity Is Profound
 Elmer Rice in the depth of his wisdom leaves it to the audience to Justify or condemn, but he presents the events preceding and following her tragedy with profound pity. l With equal impartiality and poig- nancy he shows the blight which the mothers tragedy casts upon the daughter and her boyish suitor, played by Sylvia Sidney and Wil- liam Collier, Jr.
 Minus Luxurious Lures
 Street Scene shows Miss Tay- Tor divested of the luxurious lure of clothes and sex. It is a role not of sex appeal but heart appeal Tn her face are the lines of care, of fear and despair and the hunger for the 1 tenderness and appreciation which 1 marriage has never given her.

Kuh eI Flashes
Power With
Stick
BY GARRETT WATERS
Times staff COrresDOndent

ST. LOUIS, July %. - Sup
posedly in the game only as a
substitute for Joe Judge, Joe
Kuhel, the former Kansas City
first baseman, is making a bid to
stay for the remainder of the
campaign because of his excellent
playing.
One of the high spots in Ku-
hel's play has been his hitting.
Not only has the youngster kept
up a continual rattle against op-
posing pitchers, but he has come
through with bingleS when they
have meant runs.
Judge in Condition
Therefore, when a player hits in
this manner there's little reason
for his removal from the lineup,
even with a classy performer like
Joe Judge around. Judge is on
his feet again and rarin' to go.
But he'll have to wait now, it
seems, because of Kuhels great
playing.
Kansas City Joe had his bat
ting eye in extra form yesterday,
as his four hits in five times at
bat will tell. On his first appear
ance he struck out with the bases
full. But the next four times the
Browns could not get him out.
Knocks Ball Over Fence
In the third inning he singled
to right, fast fielding keeping
Myer from scoring from second.
In the seventh he socked a home
run over the right field stands,
while in the eighth he tripled to
deep right center, scoring Cronin
ahead of him, who had walked.
KuhePs work for the remainder
of this Western trip will be in
tereSting to watch. If he can
continue to come through at bat
les got the first base job sewed
up, as there's no question as to
his ability to hold his own in the
field.
