Only Yesterday
Is Held Over

"Only Yesterday. one of the
most dramatic photo plays of the
season is held over a second week
at the Rialto theater.
Gripping. tense, heart-rending
a little story of a brief love dur
ing the hectic war time, which
despite its repetition, is one of
the best pictures this long time.
Remarkably finished acting and
infinitely perfect direction tend
to make almost a flawless per-
Torrance.
Margaret SULLIVAN, a new star
on the screen, is superb in the
title role. Restrained, impas-
stoned, she runs the gamut OF
human emotion with a natural
ness more than satisfying. John
Boles, as the prince charming,
easily depicts the man, who ulti-
mately but too late comes back
to make amends. His is a typ
ical portrayal but a competent
one.
Young Jimmy Butler, the son,
is remarkably natural and Billie
Burke and Reginald Denny, two
versatile actors of an earlier day
are again competently cast in
lesser roles. .

ham McNamee, newscasting, COM

JEAN HARLOW IN FOX FILM
Harlow s Latest
Student Prince
Now at Fox

THE Blonde Bombshell," in the
person of Jean Harlow, takes a
sly poke at the cinema capital
Hollywood, to you'd and its pub
licity mania and gives us a good
round Of laughs at her expense.
The platinum-topped sexpert
essays the role of common, little
film player who is made a star
by the front-page-splash method.
All the characters in the play, the
principals at least, can be recog-
nized by the avid movie fan as
persons who have been the sub
jects of many press stories.
Jeans daily routine, her dogs,
her maid, her secretary, her press
agent, her father, her brother,
and any rumber of other studio
leecheS have a place in the story
of a movie star whose name, love
affairs, scandals are dished out as
regularly as the morning cereal.
Miss Lola Burns, blonde beauty,
gets tired O all the demands
made on her time, her pocket
book, her personal privacy, and
runs away only to find that an
astute publicity man can place
her favorite situation before her
on moments notice.
There are laughs by the inch,
foot and yard, there is a priceless
recitation of poetry in the moon
light at Palm Springs, there is a
goofy man who insists that the
star is his long-lost wife. There
is some handsome acting by all
concerned, including especially
Jean Harlow, Lee Tracy and
Frank Morgan. Franchot Tones
puzzling role is a bit discomfort
ing until the last reel.
The stage features the lovely
tunes of Sigmund Romberg's
Student Prince" in which
Charles Hadley plays the title
role and Gertrude Lang is the
maid, Kathie. The apparently
deathless music of this light
operetta are sung in likeable
manner by the principals while
the male chorus of the student
body of old Heidelberg are gay
and delightful with their Drink
ing Song" and Golden Days"
J.. j. Shubert personally

lar musical show and has brought

Warner Brothers enlisted al

makers to play in Havana
Widows" which is showing on
the Earle screen. And it is
through their efforts that the
picture proves humorous, if not
particularly brilliant screen fare.
Joan Blondell and Glenda Far

decide to visit Cuba's capital,
where reports hint of a large
crop of rich males. They enlist
the services of gangster friend,

Once ensconced in the land Of

a lawyer. Complications arise, as
they will do, but the fadeout
finds love triumphant.

Orrin Nordholm drives a herd of
steers from Abilene, Tex, to
Omaha and is the trail blazer for
what eventually becomes the
greatest unit in the packing in
duStry.
You see him build a great for
tune by inventing the cold stor-
age freight car, contract an UNI
wise marriage with a snobbish
social climber, produce offspring
who are both indolent and
ashamed of the business on which
the family fortune was founded,
It's tragic overtones portray the
unhappy death of the neurotic
wife, the worthlessness of the
Nordholm sons and a daughter
who becomes enamored of a
shoddy nobleman, a suicide and
the crumbling of the great for
tune in the 1929 depression. Only
a grandson and Orrin's mother
appear to possess the sturdy
qualities which built success for
the family.
Fail as Husbands
In some respects THE World
Changes" is reminiscent of the
Edward G. Robinson II Loved a
Woman" Both pictures show that
men who can become leaders and
organizers in the business world
lack the foresight and knowledge
of how to successfully manage
their own domestic affairs.
"The World Changes" pre-
Sents its most interesting phases
when the story is concerned with
the wide-open spaces. Coming
down to this restless age and mod
ern settings the narrative is
sketchy with some of the char
acters obviously oVerdrawn to inn
press the lesson.
Paul Muni's characterization of
Orrin Nordholm is a commend
able portrait. Here is an actor
who is a master of expression
and whose knowledge of makeup
and the tricks of aging convinc-
ingly serve him we'll. AS an old
man he looks the part and acts
it with the faltering tempo that
rings of the genuine. A perform
ance worth studying.
Mary Aston offers one of her
best performances in the middle
aged role of Muni's wife. Excel
lent also is Aline MacMahon as
Orrin's mother and here is an
other case of taking on years and
doing it well. Guy Kibbee, Don
aid Cook, Alan Dinehart and
Margaret Lindsay are among
those in a long cast who assist
nobly. The picture has been well
directed by Mervyn Leroy.

armies march on Washington" Its demise
seems to have public approval. The nation
as whole approves of economies and re-
forms effected in veterans expenditures. 1t
expects generous provision for veterans and
their families suffering on account of war
service. 1t grows less tolerant of special
favors shown by the government to any

Still scattered armies assemble and con-
centrate on Washington. 1t should be more
widely understood that such demonstrations
are useless. Also that groups or individuals
engaging in or promoting such marches are
doing both the veterans and their country

its best to serve the whole nation impartially

WaShington.-David A. olson, g
man Of moderate means who has
instigated federal tax investiga-
tions and has filed personal ta1
suits involving Andrew w. Mellon
and others, may be multimillion
naire himself before he gets
through.
Olson has filed his suits as g
citizen and taxpayer under the
"informer's clause" of the tax act
which means that he will be paid
SO per cent of whatever sums the
government may recover as a re-
suit of them.
He used to be an income tax
expert for a big public accounting
firm and more recently worked for
the senate banking committee in
its stock market investigation
job from which he resigned when
the committee wouldn't investigate
his tax fraud allegations.
Sues for Double
The largest Olson suit is for
$220,00O,000 - twice the $780,
100000 back taxes and $4,000
900 refunds which Olson says
would be in the treasury II Mel
lon and other officials had applied

This suit is filed against Mel

FOREIGN" TRUCK FEES.
(New Britain Herald)

Perhaps there is something to be
said in favor OF making trucks
from other states pay Connecticut
for the use Of Connecticut's roads.
But in practice, X all states exact
such extra fees. 1t will amount to
an increasing burden upon trans
portation which in the ultimate will
be paid by the public. 1t Is folly to
imagine that truck companies will
pay such fees-all that will hap
pen Is that they are added to the
costs OF doing business and will
show up In the cost OF transporta-
ton. which In the long run IL paid
by the consumers Of the products
carried by the trucks.
or course, the hope Of railroad in
terests is that enough fees and spec
ial taxes are assessed against the
truck industry to bring the costs
OF transportation by truck upon a
par with the costs OF transporting
by railroad. But that is q vain
hope. The fiexibilty OF the trucks,
the door to door delivery, will con-
tinue to operate against the rail-
roads concerning short haul traffic.
No matter what annoying fees and
charges are inflicted upon truck
interests 1t Is quite unlikely that
they will be discarded as handy
distributing vehicles from central
distributing points.
The modern railroads are not
likely to lose the heavy, long dis
lance traffic; on which there is a
good profit. And 1t might be added
In passing that some of our best
freight railroads already are show
ing a disposition to get out of the

out of the red ink period. The pas

New Britain Is just starting its second
campaign to raise funds for aid of its unem-
ployed. Inasmueh as the New Britain idea
Is closely modelled on that in operation in
Waterbury we are more or less interested in
its progress. Waterbury has won national
fame for its scheme of aiding the unem-
ployed by voluntary contributions of those
more fortunate individuals with jobs. To
date we have managed to find employment
for large number of people who otherwise
might be thrown upon the charity of the
town, now sadly overtaxed. In addition
food supplies and clothing are furnished IN
abundance where needed. In New Britain
as we'll as in Waterbury the system has
worked exceptionally well due in the main
to the. fine spirit of cooperation shown by
contributors. To them more than to any
body else is the success of the Mutual Aid
Fund due. Hats off

Fewer Slogans

Get away from slogans and challenge
every utteranee you hear advises retired
manufacturer who has taken his own advice.
Think thoughts and not slogans" 1t is a
good policy, provided the challenging is
done with an open mind. Slogans have
their uses, in war or business or politics. but
they have certainly been overdone in this
country. They are potent for get-together
purposes, but they are substitutes for
thought. The man who makes the slogan
is doing the thinking for the people who
use it: and he himself isn't always think
ing. either.
The old slogans are being severely serutin-
lied these days. While testing them. it's
we'll not to be in too much of hurry to
adopt new ones. Germany today furnishes
painful example of aiming at new era
in the old way. Slogans were used in all
the countries to drum up the World War.
Germany is back on slogan basis, under a
champion propaganda who governs by
slogans.

REPEAL COOPERATION
(New Haven Journal courier)

New Haven Journal Courier)
If the past and present may be
accepted as criteria, Connecticut
will vote overwhelmingly for rati-
flcation of the repeal amendment.
A delegate election is scarcely
necessary to determine the state
consensus. But the method OUT
lined by the Constitution and
selected by congress demands a
convention. A convention demands
an election for the choice of dele
gates. Since an election must be
held, let it be an adequate, an i'm
partial ballot. Let the decision be
definite and final. Let repealists
and antirepealists. vets and drys,
fight a clean fight on the open bat
tlefield of the state electorate.
There Is another consideration.
Since this elecHon is necessary,
advisable even for clean mandate
on the third experiment. 1t should
be conducted as economically as
possible. This is certainly not the
time for unnecessary expenses, for
the fine frills of partisan politics.
The contest is between prohibitions
ISIS anu dhSA-PiOAAOAeiohAoeSt nv w.
tween democrats and republicans.
New Ravens Town Chairman Dav-
Id j. Mccoy recognized this fact
in a statement to the town COM
mittee Thursday evening. He sug-
gested that both parties share
committee rooms, check lists,
headquarters; cooperate, that is, on
a question which should be nom
partisan that expenses might be
curtailed.
It appears that this suggestion
will not remain a suggestion, will
be translated into action. The COM
mittee approved motion to have
Mr.. Mccoy appoint a group of
three. democrats to meet with
similar group of republicans that
such cooperation might be con-
sidered. The chairman and chair
lady of each ward were instructed
to call joint party conferences for
the same period. 1t is possible, of
course, that ardent drys will object
to this consolidation of anti-pro-
hibition forces. An opposition div
ided lacks the strength of unity.
But both major parties in Connec-
ticut have long agreed on the me-
ccssity for repeal. In the last cam
paign the national parties had at
tanned at least partial agreement.
Even Mr.. Hoover had at last con-
coded that resubmission was advis-
able. And New Haven we suspect,
able.
