RISE TO POWER
 OF MAD MONK
 SHOWN IN FILM
'Rasputin and the Empress Played by Barrymores
 Depicts Fall of Russia

Brilliantly mounted, gorgeously costumed and setting new stand ard for screen acting, "Rasputin and the Epress,' Metro-Goldwyn- Mayors major triumph of the cur rent cinema season, will be pre- sented at the Capitol Theatre again tonight
 ''Rasputin and the Empress" has more than lived up to it's ad- vance reputation of being an even greater and more overpowering film production than Grand Ho- tel" last years memorable talkie hit.
 Not only is "Rasputin and the Empress" dazzling because of it's imposing cast headed by the cele- brated Barrymore trio, John, Eth el and Lionel, in their first joint appearance in films, but because of it's tremendous sweep and scope.
 Ethel Barrymore who plays the Czarina, was a personal friend of the ill-fated empress, and one senses that her portrayal is more than mere acting. John Barry more offers another finished por- trayaI as the debonair and TO- mantle Prince Chegodieff, whose romance with the Princess Nata- sha, played by the English stage star, Diana WynTard, rose as an undercurrent through the heavier interludes of the plot.
 The "meaty' role, of course, goes to Lionel Barrymore, and as the evil-looking Rasputin, he of fers one of the most vivid and unforgetable performances.

FOOTBALL SCORES LOWER NOW THAN
 IN PLUNGING ERA

CHICAGO, H., Nov. 28.-Despite the popular notion Chat modern football, with it's high develop ment of the forward pass and open formations, is productive of great CT scoring than the old-time mass movement" style, the Big Ten records show average scores of conference games higher in the plunge and push period than now adayS.
 From 1906 to 1910, representative of the plunge era, Commissioners John L. Griffith reports, Big Ten teams averaged PAP points per game through 72 league battles, whereas, from 1928 through 1882, the average was only 1916 points.
 Griffith says he believes the balance of offensive and defensive power is about the same now as two decades ago. but that the fact conference schools nowadays play more league games and conse- quently must conserve strength, is responsible for fewer point to- tals.

-SPORE
 SLANTS @ By ALAN GOULD N

Cliff Bolton, substitute backstor and pinch-hitter of the Washing ton Senators, will be best remem- bered for some time to come as the man who hit into a double play in the crucial eleventh in- ming of the fourth worlds series game, with the bases full and the Mats only one run behind the Giants.
 No other maneuver by the American League champions came in for hotter criticism than this particular bit of strategy" Man ager Joe Cronin stil is being second-guessed on that play but the official league statistics are out now to prove that Joe had real justification for his selec- ton of Bolton to face Hubbell even though the catcher was mo- toriously slow and under the fur ther handicap of batting from the port side against the best southpaw in the big leagues.

vIENNESE FARCE
 WITH SPARKLING
 WIT OPENS HERE
Miriam Hopkins Heads Fine Cast in Trouble in Para
 disc" at Coliseum

Trouble in Paradise" Ernst Lu- bitsch's witty adaptation of a sparkling farce by the Viennese playwright, Laszlo Adalar, with a capable cast headed by Miriam Hopkins, Kay Francis, Herbert Marshall, Charles Ruggles and Ed ward Everett Horton, opens to- night at the Coliseum Theatre.
 Hilarious entertainment is of- fered with this farce combining brilliant gaity and sparkling humor and it is flawlessly produced. The outstanding actors in the perfect ly assembled cast give perform ances like cut crystals.
 Crooks Get Busy
 As is the case in the majority Of light, amusing farcical plays, the plot is light, dealing chiefly with the efforts of two suave crooks, played by Herbert Marshall and Miriam Hopkins, to take un- to themselves a good portion of the vast fortune of Mime. Marienne Colet, wealthy French widow, whose role is perfectly taken by Kay Francis The films excel lence lies chiefly in the witty dia- logue, the finished performance and the direction, which combine to make it film of unusual merit.
 Pick Pocket
 Herbert Marshall handles the role of Gaston Monescu, interna- ton cfook, with subtlety which does not surpass that with which Miriam Hopkins plays, Lily, who has traveled along with Gaston since their romantic meeting when they discovered each others re- markable prowess in picking pock- cts. Charlie Ruggles and Edward Everett Horton are teamed for comedy and provide a constant stream of hiliarity.
 This refreshing program is concluded with selected shorts and a late news reel.

ENvOY'S WIFE

 IN NORTH. .AND
(Cordova Times

An interesting sidelight on the United States decision to engage in diplomatic relations with Rus sia was revealed by the fact that Mrs. William c. Bullitt, wife of the first American envoy to that country since the great red revo- lution, is sister of Cordova resident, Mrs. F. A. Hansen.
 Mrs. Bullitt spent many years in Russia, having first gone there as a war correspondent for a large newspaper syndicate and it was in Moscow in 1919 that she met MT. Bullitt when he was sent there by President Wilson to accumu- late data on Russia which he pub lished under the title of "Bullitt Mission to Russia
 Mrs. Bullitt, herself an author ess of some note, having publish ed several plays and books, among the latter Mirrors of Moscow, !" and "Six Red Months in Russia. 7" She writes under the penname of Louise Bryant.

SAUCE FOR THE FORK

The action of the Chicago White Sox in re-shaping the playing field at Comiskey Park to reduce the home run range in left and center fields for Al Simmons will be welcomed, likewise. by the other big right handed batsmen of the American League, notably Jimmie F'oxx.
 Jimmie hits 'em higher and further than Al, but anything cal culated to improve the target for his long range wallops will be appreciated.
 Baseball men recall that the Boston Braves, after acquiring Rogers Hornsby some years ago fixed up their grounds with out field bleachers for the benefit oi the Rajah's drives.
 It was a good idea, theoreti- cally, but Hornsby failed to take as much advantage of the oppor- tunity for nome runs as did the visiting sluggers. So the Braves took out the extra seats and then parted company with the one time king of National League bats men.

looked on life tolerantly, whimsically.
Sleek brown hair, humorous brown eyes,
continental polish. tall and boyishly
