There Is quite difference in
newspapermen if you believe the
picture now being shown on the
Metropolitan Theater screen.

pulous and lying members of the

voted representatives of an hon.
ored profession.

"The Famous Ferguson Case"
attempts to draw the line with
all the good newspapermen work
ing in one hotel room. The friv-
olous, gin hoisting, wise cracking
bunch of news takers gang to-
gether in an adjoining room.
They are all working to solve a
mysterious murder in a village
247 miles from New York with a
PETERS lane and a pig. woman in
volved in the tragedy.
It all impressed me as strange
ly synthetic. The bad newspaper
men were too vicious to be real.
The good newspapermen were too
sanctimonious and shocked at
their sensation chasing colleagues
to seem genuine. When Grant
Mitchell as the leader Of the up
right journalists stood up and at
tempted to sermonize his fellow
ScribeS on the ethics Of the news
paper business, while they all sat
around quietly and listened to his
dressing down without a murmur,
I said "phooie." In a generation
of mingling with reporters never
met any just like these. am not
surprised that Editor Marlen Pew

and labeled them counterfeit.

Thackersy's Vanity Fair Shown in
Modern Film Version

its original form is replaced by
bridge-unqueStionably contract.
The motor car, the railway and
the telephone are conspicuous in
the current version. But all this,
after all, is background, and ones
impression is that Thackeray, in
this story at least, wrote for the
ages.
AS played by Myrna 10y, Becky
Sharp is fascinating, amoral, con-
scienceleSs-Save for one gesture
which combines a little generosity
with considerable spite. The story
is followed pretty faithfully, ex-
cept that we trace Becky's career
farther than has been the rule in
other dramatic versions. Conway
Tearle is almost a sympathetic
figure as Rawdon Crawley, and
Lionel Barrymore unforgettable as
his father. Barbara Kent, who has
more promise than most screen in
genues, but who seldom gets a
break, is cast in the rather sugary
role of Amelia and does well
enough by it. Montagu Love

Youth, Pep and
Gay Doinss on
Fox Stage

The Washington Fox, bowling
out with its current program
under the original management,
is giving a farewell lineup which
combines youthful gaiety on stage
with more sober entertainment on
screen.
"The Son of the Lone Wolf"
exciting tale Of master thieves
and jewel robberies, reaches the
screen under a more eye-catching
title "Cheaters at Play" and Di-
rector McFadden has made an
agreeable hour of entertainment
out of this popular novel OF Louis
Joseph Vance.

1t is the story Of a thief, a mas
ter of light fingers, who has re-
tired to the more honorable pro
fession Of jewel selling: he meets
his long lost son, quite by acci-
dent, only to find that the young
Ster is also a thief, not so clever
as his father but ambitious. There
is the matter of a fortune in
emeralds, a voyage love affair,
and much intrigue, but the finale
sees the green beauties returned
to the rightful owner. the lovers
looking toward their particular
portion of happiness and the
Lone Wolf" grateful that the
boy has turned confidently up
the straight and narrow path.
The cast, well selected, is
headed by the gentle Thomas
Meighan, a Tom with much Of

which horse won he would re-
ceive a commission Of some
$4,000. He needed no personal
investment because he would
simply turn the losers $4,000
over to the winner. And If,
by some modern miracle, the
outside horse would win Frank
lin would be ahead exactly
$4,000. Not bad, eh? No
wonder Franklin had that con-
tented look upon his kisser.
Plays Long Shot .
"Chauncey, the third horse,
was 100 to /, and you could
have had 1000 to / If you were
really interested. Franklin had
notified both players that their
bets had been placed at 9 to 10
and he was whistling merrily
just before the start of the big
race when a sucker came over.
Mr.. Franklin said the
sucker, I hear that the odds on
Chauncey are 100 to /. I would
like to bet $100 on him at that
price. Will you take it?'
Franklin rubbed his hands.
This certainly was his lucky
day. Only the rankest kind of
a sucker would bet on such a
dog as Chauncey. He nodded.
Make out your slip,' was
his reply. You have $4,000
against $100. Good luck to you.
We'll, Mark, you guessed the
answer before. Chauncey won
. that race in the mud, and the
winning caused a terrific sensa-
ton at the time. Franklin had
to pay $4,000 to the lucky mug
who had bet on Chauncey, you
can imagine that he was quite
glad to do it. Having held the
two big bets, he was ahead
$4,000 on the day.
But here's the kick. The
first player slipped in his bath
tub that very night, and died
the next day from a broken
neck. The second player evi-
IDENTIFY went away overheard on
Happiness, for he skipped town
directly after the race. He
hasn't been seen to this day.
Tough for Franklin, wasn't
it? The race on which he won
$4,000 was the race that &C.
tually cost him $4,000. He had
to pay. but he never collected
a nickel"
I lit a cigarette.
That's a good story, Frank"
I observed. "Just one question
I'd like to ask. What happened
to the man who won the 100
to-1 shot?"
The racing man shifted.
''WhO knOws?" he muttered
cOntemptuously. ''WhO cares

that?"

Becky Sharp and Rawdon Craw-
ley live by their wits, this time on
the talking screen in the current
feature at RKO-Keith's. It is an
intelligent and capable moderniza-
ton that has been accorded the
classic by William Makepeace
Trackeray, a modernization re-
flecting the changes that have
taken place in society during the
past century and a quarter, but
one which has not in the least
altered the theme of the story or
the character drawing of its un-
principled heroine.
Becky, it seems, must have
shocked the British public Of
Thackeray's day, but there was no
necessity for undermining her,
apart from giving her some pres
ent-day frocks. For tastes in
heroines have changed in recent
years, too, and Becky's type is by
no means unfamiliar to the screen.

Big Race Betting

"I have something you might
be able to use," he asserted.
would you like me to tell it in
my own way?"
"Then you'll understand" he
said. "I'll slip you this yarn,
but I'll use phoney names
throughout. No use giving you
the real tags of the ponies and
the men involved because 1t
might only cause trouble. And
why not avoid trouble when
ever possible, eh?"
Some time back, on one Of
the Eastern tracks, there was
a race coming off that held the
attention of the entire racing
public. There were three horses
entered in the event, but only
two of them mattered. The
third was dub.
"The two important nags
were, to give them names of
some kind, Bouncer and Happi-
ness. Both had gone through
six or seven races without a
defeat, and you couldn't pick
up a sporting page without find
ing some sort of discussion
about the relative merits of the
two horses.
|'Now, at last, Bouncer and
Happiness were to meet. The
excitement among the players
was tremendous and, for ten
days before the race, you heard
little else. The sporting col
umnists went to the thing with
a vengeance; half of them in
sisting that Bouncer would walk
in ami the other half stating
that Happiness would leave the
other horse several blocks in the
rear.

Very Happy Agent

"Well, just before the first
race of the afternoon, Franklin
was just about the happiest
man on the track. He had
fallen into something that
happens only once in a long,
long time. A very wealthy
gentleman had called Franklin
to his box and told him to bet
$4,000 on Bouncer at the best
possible odds. Franklin had
accepted the commission.
'AS he walked to the lawn
again he was called aside by
another player who went in for
very big bets.
Franklin said the second
man, I'm going the limit on
Happiness this afternoon. I'm
spreading the bets around and
I want you to handle one for
me. Place $4,000, on Happi-
ness for me at the best possible
Odds
'The commission man nodded
and said that he would report
back Immediately. He walked
away with a song in his heart
and for a good reason.
The price on both horses
was 8 to 10. That was all you
could get on Bouncer; it was
all you could secure on Happi-
ness. And Franklin was certain
that, in a race such as this,
the odds would never shift.
Accordingly, his position was

TOPROvOKE FIGHT
InsuIar Legislature May
Clash Over Accepting
Offer of Freedom.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MANILA, P. l., December 26.-Pos-
sibility of bitter fight in the insular
legislature over the question of accept
ing the congressional offer Of inde-
pendence, should President Hoover sign
the Hawes- Cutting bill, was seen here
today.
Numerous legislators have expressed
themselves as in favor OF the amended
measure Manuel Quezon, president OF
the Philippine senate, has been re
ported as asserting privately that he
would fight the HaWes- Cutting measure
with every means in his power.
Quezon was quoted as telling a group
of supporters that he objected particu-
larly to presidential powers over the
islands retained by the measure and
the proposed retention by the United
States of military and naval bases.
Definitely lined up against Quezon
is a group of Is legislators headed by
Francisco Verona, acting floor leader
of the house.
This group. proponents of the
amended Hawes- Cutting bill, cabled
the Philippine independence mission at
Washington expressing confidence in
the measure
They acted after Quezon and Act

the mission overruling the suggestion
that Governor General Theodore
Roosevelt be asked to urge signature of
the bill by the President pending a

Sergio Osmena, acting leader Of the
mission. was foe of Quezon in the
political struggle of 1923 that split the
Nacionalista party. but the breach is
believed to have been healed.

BUTLER LAYS EVILS
TO SPECIALIZATION
Columbia U. Head Declares Prac.

rier to Reflective Spirit.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 26. DR..
Nicholas Murray Butler, in his presi-
dents annual report on Columbia Uni
versity yesterday. said that early and
undue specialization of study and in
terest' among students was the most
active and deadly foe of scholarship"
Asserting that scholarship is full
and accurate knowledge in its historic
and philosophic setting" DR.. Butler said
specialization would have none of these.
Its aim, too often exclusively gain
seeking, is constantly described as ex-
cessively practical. which is one of the
ways of asserting that it is at war with
the reflective life of man." DR.. Butler
continued. adding:
Much of the vague and violent con-
temporary discussion Of economic. social
and political problems, particularly here
in the United States. is the direct out
come of the lack of liberal education"
The report said the deficit for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1882. was
S293957. The university received gifts
totaling s2,1O2,977 for the year.
