WE HAVE now passed

The Administrator cdunOG
be charged wholly with the
financial crash of the mar
ket, for this had been made
inevitable during the preced-
ing regime. But after three
years the record is so plain
that he who runs may read.
After three years, 8,3OO,-
900 breadwinners are on the
streets.
After three years, close to
4O,OOO,OOO human beings are
in distress,
Three years-and we have
a two billion dollar deficit
in the Federal treasury,
which must be met by the
most drastic taxation IN
peace time ever known to
the American people.
It has been three years OF
unprecedented bankruptcies
in business and failures in
banking; three years OF sui
cides and soup.
The bread lines began to
form within six months OF
the Inauguration and they
have heightened.
In three years our stupid
tariff act has wrecked our
foreign trade, reduced pro-
duction, created unemploy-
ment here, ruined the I'M
porting and exporting busl-
ness, brought the railroads
and steamship lines to the
verge of bankruptcy, and IN
vited an economic war upon
US from every quarter.
These three years have
been the blacklist in Amerl-
can history.
"A Business
Administration"
The Administrations farm
relief measure has been a
miserable flop.
The Administrations tar
iff act has been a crime
against business.
The Administrations for
eign policy has been a mud
die.
Three years ago we were
promised the elimination OF
poverty-and never such
poverty as now; the continu-
alton of prosperity, and never
such business prostration as
now; "a business administra-
tion," and - bankruptcy in
the Treasury is what we
have. The history Of these
three years will be written in
very black ink.

What Of the
Prospects?
During two Of these three
years the Administration
drifted, seemingly in hope
less confusion, and appar-
emily without an effort to
grapple with the crisis. The
Presidents initiative seemed
paralyzed. This was the COM
mon observation in the high
est business and financial
circles as we'll as among the
more humble victims of nor
malcy." The criticism was
heard in the highest Repub-
lican circles. The conclusion
. long since was reached that
in the Administration is a
dearth of constructive states
manship and courage.
And so there were no bon
fires of jubilation burning on
the hilltops March 4th-un-
less to warm the hands of
shivering vagabonds.
And now the Administra-
ton enters upon its fourth
and last year-and what of
the prospects?
1.-THE Depression Tide
Is Ebbing"
There has been but one
bank failure in five days,
and it is said that admin
istration friends" are salts
fled now that "the depres-
sion is ebbing." If the ex-
traordinary means resorted
to, and properly, to safe
guard the banks, cannot re-
duce bank failures to a min
imum, we must be in a des-
perate plight. The banks

 Times Tonight

Children of Dreams a thrill ling love story with Paul Gregory and Margaret Schilling in the lead ing roles, will be shown for the last times tonight at the Coli scum theatre.

 Tough on Neighbors
 'His plan was tough on the neighbors, who had to hear the same records over and over until they were wore out" Gregory ad- mits now, but it was a real help to me. Later when I got my chance to study voice my teachers all agreed that my phonograph lessons had been worth while and that I had learned much about tonal quality, diction and musical shading from them"

BILL AT CAPITOL TO E ND ITS RUN TONIGHT
Seth Parker, Charley Chase and Pearl Divers Fea-
 ture Program

At the Capitol, the triple pro- gram that began showing Sunday will be presented for the last times tonight. The featured attractions are Way Back Home" with Seth Parker, famous radio broadcaster, in the leading role; Skip the Ma loo" starring Charley Chase, tal- ented comedian; and Pearls and Devilfish," Fishermans Para elise offering depicting the pearl diving industry and its attendant perils of the deep.
 The filming of Way Back Home" witnessed the biggest barn dance given in Hollywood for years, with good edible (not prop food and excellent pay for all guests"
 Seth Parker Was Host
 Seth Parker was official host, but of course the real hospitality came from William A. Setter, direc- tor. The scenes were made at night, and 84 extra players, with Parker's supporting role of radio and screen celebrities, rustic B. piece orchestra, a special male quartette and a feminine trio, par ticipated.
 Instead of lasting one night, as barn dances usually do, the movie affair seen in the picture held forth for two nights. Guests" arrived on the scene at p. m, and the party broke up each night around 2 a. m. as any barn dance should.
 Filmed in Special Sets
 The scenes were filmed in spec ial sets, brimming with rustic at mosphere, at the RKO-Radio Pic lures ranch near Encino, which is just over the hills a hoop and @ holler from Hollywood.
 Guests" arrived in private au- tclnobiles, but not an automobile motor was allowed to disturb the melody of the frogs, tree-toads and crickets when actual filming began. So the extras had to make a second arrival, as it were inside the limits of the farm itself where they were transferred to wagons, foot and hoss-back."
 Cast is Notable
 Besides Parker and his five ra- dio celebrities who, like himself, make their debut in pictures in Way Back Home such Wall-known movie players as Frank Albertson, Bette Davis, DorotflyS Peterson, Stanley Fields, Oscar Apfel and Frankie Darro participated in big rustic "whoopee."
 During the making of Skip the NTaloo" comedy was turned into near tragedy in one scene Char ley Chase hangs on to a derrick hook and is suspended above the ocean from the pier. While film ing this particular scene Charlie's hands slipped from the hook short ly after the derrick hook had start ed it's ascent.
 Falls Into Water
 Fortunately the comedian missed the pier by inches and fell into the water, undoubtedly averting serious injury in the fall
 Pearls and Devilfish" shows Indian pearl divers in action off the west coast of Mexico. The natives have many daring fights with giant fish while in search of rare gems.
 Both slow motion and regular speed cameras recorded the life of the great fish off the west coast of Mexico for the Metro Goldwyn Mayer fishing picture playing at the Capitol theatre. The capture of fierce fish fighting for their lives was recorded.
