Thriller Play
At Fox Imperial

Movie patrons who have weak
hearts or jumpy nerves are advised
to be careful in attending Frank
enstein", the thrilling play which
opens tonight at Fox Imperial The
atre for a two days stay.
Those who like thrills and chills,
however, are promised plenty of
these when the weird story Of the
scientist who created a human mon
ster is unraveled.
Based upon the story Of Mary w.
Shelley, which created a furore In
writing circles q number of years
ago, "Frankenstein" is weird but
not morbid.
Colin Give plays the part of
Frankenstein, which is not the mon
ster, as common usage has made
some believe, but is the name of the
scientist who made the monster
with criminal brain.
Mae Clarke, John Boles, Boris
Karloff, Lionel Belmore and others
are in the cast. Give will be re-
membered for his splendid work in
Journeys End" and other success
eS.
To reveal the plot would be to
spoil the play for those who plan
to attend. 1t is sufficient to say
that 1t is the type that keeps even
veteran movie goers on the edges of
their seats.

UNITED Press


WASHINGTON, Jan. Wright
Patman, the congressman from
Texarkana, Texas, who yesterday
brought in an impeachment resolu-
ton against Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon, is one OF the
younger members Of congress and
is only starting his second term.
He is SO.
But despite comparative youth
and the fact that men who have
been in congress only one term
still are looked upon as novices
who should be seen and not heard,
Patman has made himself well
known. He started right out in
the latter part of the last session
TO gain attention and win his ends.
He fathered soldier bonus legisla-
tion and fought for it vigorously.
Some believe it was during that
fight that he became embittered
against Mellon-Which, incident
ally, is just why 1t is that Patman
has taken the lead of the anti
Mellon forces. His own explana-
tion is that he believes Mellon has
not been true to the responsible
ties of his office.
Patman is a Well-built, muscular
man, standing 5 feet, inches,
with wavy, black hair well re-
strained, and healthy complexion.
He occasionally wears spectacles.
He speaks with something of a
twang, and rapidly. He used to
be a prosecuting attorney down In
Texas, which is his native state.
He is a 33rd degree Mason, a
Baptist and the father of four
boys.
News of the impeachment reso-
luton spread rapidly around
Washington, particularly among
fellow cabinet members. The affair
precipitated surprising amount
of chatter and some of the reports
OF what had happened were
amazing.

WIDOW AND BANK
SEEK PROCEEDS
OF LIFE POLICY

Two parties claiming me right
of beneficiaries under a $4,000 life
insurance policy issued TO Herman
Antholz by the Aetna Life Insur-
ance company today had filed in
superior court their reasons for
asking payment of the policy to
them.
This was the latest development
yesterday afternoon when the First
Central National bank of Calexico,
named with the life insurance COM
pany as defendant in suit
brought by Maud Antholz some
time ago, filed cross-complaint
naming the insurance company
cross s-defendant. and ignoring the
claim advanced by Mrs. Antholz.
In her complaint, Mrs. AnthoR
declared, the beneficiary under the
policy was the II. Antholz company,
consisting of partnership Of
Antholz and herself. Since She is
sole surviving member OF the
partnership, she Is entitled TO pro-
ceeds from the policy, she con-
tended. Mrs. AntholZ, however,
recognized the bank claimed inter-
est in the policy, and therefore
named that institution a defendant
in her suit
1t Is the contention Of the bank,
in its cross-complaint, that Her
man Antholz took out the policy,
naming the bank as his beneficiary,
in order TO protect the bank, since
he owed considerable money to
that firm. He died October Is,
1881, owing the institution $46,-
556o3, according to the cross
complaint, and 1t is that amount
for which judgment is asked.

Bob hasn't, though. He's never

he's so handsome. Bob adoreS

PATMAN WANTS
MONEY PROBE
MRS. CLARK

Sweeping investigation into the
operation Of the whole money sys-
TEN in this country will be sought
in a resolution now being pre-
pared by Representative Patman
CD of Texas.
The resolution will provide for
a probe to be conducted by a
committee of three or five mem
berS of the House, named by the
Speaker, and bipartisan.
Patman said he is convinced
the operations of the Federal Re
serve System have resulted in
definite harm of European ma
tions. Large sums have been
placed with these central banks
on occasions when the money
could have been well utilized here,
he said.
The investigation will extend to
huge finance companies which,
Patman charges, are enabled to
get money at low Government in
terest rates, to loan for automo-
bileS and similar purchases,
through a chain of notes at far
higher interest rates.

Newton st. N. W., yesterday was
held for the Grand Jury under
$1,000 bond after he had pleaded
