Drinking Spree Wins
Guy Movie Debut

Alcohol has been the cause OF many
mems downfall, but in the case of
Guy Kibbee, popular film actor, it
started him on . successful theatrical
career. Ut was another mans drink
ing-not his own)
The bald, rotund, jovial comedian,
whose latest screen appearance Is
IN the Columbia picture, Lady For a
Day" showing tomorrow at the Capt.
tol Theatre, was born In Ell Paso,
Texas. He refused to become inter-
ested In his fathers newspaper busi-
ness and when his brother formed q
stock company Kibbee joined him as
property boy.
While the show was In Chicago,
the leading man went on spree and
couldn't appear on the stage that
night. Kibbee, then q lad Of is, was
pressed into service as his substitute,
and acquitted himself ably enough.
The audience didn't know the differ.
ence.
That was the beginning Of q stage
career that continued uninterrupted
~ for more than Is years. Oddly
enough, It was not until the quarter
Of century had elapsed that he set
foot on q Broadway stage. For years
he had trouped In the large metro
politan centers IN the county, but
somehow New York seemed to evade
him. Then. when he had given up
hope Of ever playing on Broadway,
:ie received 4 hurried offer to appear
"a the Broadway production Of
Torch song"

Pilgrimage Among

Pilgrimage" Is one Of the finest
films OF all time. It had It's premiere

Of screen achievement. Directed by
John Ford from the story by I. A. r.

and others. Each OF them gives 4
sterling performance entirely In keep
Ing with the unusual tenor OF the

crate or simple, they give 4 frame
and q lift to Pilgrimage" that Is
nothing short OF q delight.

BAY STATE AID
MAY Be PUT OFF
ConstitutionaIity of Recent
Legislature Acts Questioned
by Public Works.
BY the Associated Press.

WORCESTER, Mass, October T.
The Worcester Telegram, in a copy
righted dispatch from its Washington
correspondent, said that Federal financ-
ing of public works in Massachusetts,
may be indefinitely delayed because the
legal division of the Federal Public
Works Administration has questioned
the constitutionality of the recent acts
of the Massachusetts, Legislature per-
tanning to the States program. and has
questioned the validity of bonds to be
issued Hereunder.
The development was uncovered, the
Telegram says. at Washington yester-
day when Mayor John c. Mahoney OF
Worcester went before the Public
Works Administration to speed the pro-
gram for his own city. There he met
Charles w. Mccall. head of the Public
Works Administration legal staff, who
told him that the State law which Gre
ated the Massachusetts, State Emer-
gency Finance Board and which pro-
vided for State bond issues to finance
public works projects, was unconStltu-
tional. Mr.. Mccall also said that until
this act had been o. KID by the Su-
preme Court or had been revised by the
State Legislature he could not approve
either grants or loans to massachusetts.
1t was the existence and the power
of the State Emergency Finance Board
which led Public Works Administrator
Ickes and Gov. Ely to sharp words in a
telephone conversation some months
ago. Gov. Ely insisted that the State.
responsible for the financial standing
of its cities and towns. must first pass
on their expenditures under Federal aid,
Secretary Ickes felt Federal investlga-
ton would be sufficient.

He refused to state his reasons" but
said they were woven into the robbery
for which John j. (Boss) Mclaughlin,

The robbery in 'rhich Lebo 0sberger,

daring daylight hold-up of two postal

would be difficult for the new money
issued with that gold profit behind 1t
to be called true imitation.
The Government heretofore. has by
means of franchise tax been taking
all the profits of the II Federal Re
serve Banks in excess of a 6 per cent
dividend, but Congress at the last ses-
sion repealed the franchise tax so the
member banks could get the profits.
So, as the law stands today, the profits
in any gold rise belong to the member
banks of the Federal Reserve System.
knowing the Government could re-
store the franchise tax, it Is possible,
of course. for the Federal Reserve
banks to agree voluntarily to surrender
the profit In gold to the Treasury and
thus avoid litigation.
The legal points involved, however,
are not by any means easy to resolve.
If actual devaluation comes before
Congress can specifically deal with the
profit accruing to the Federal Reserve
banks, then law making retroactive
the profit on gold might be subject to
attack as unconstitutional A suit
might arise on the part of a member
bank to restrain Federal Reserve bank
from surrendering to the Treasury the
profit on gold.
The present quotations on the dollar
in terms of the pound or franc show the
dollar to be worth about 66 cents. If
devaluation ratifies the existing level,
then the total gold profit will be about
two billions. !. is nc. known how much
the gold hcarders retain. but 1t Is be-
lieved they have about 5000, 900, 900, and
will make a profit of 500, 900. The
Government will try to take it from
them by taxation.
As for those who were able to con-
vey their money to Europe and the
spectators in gold exchange since
March who have been buying Swiss
francs and bonds as the dollar has been
going down from par to 66 cents. they
will make enormous profits, too. The
speculative element always does. The
patriot who turned in his gold last
March will not That's the usual his

Grace. Edgerton had obtained Mexican
divorces from two previous wive1.
The court instructed the jury that
the Mexican degree Edgerton detained
from his first wife, Katherine whitney

Of the unite opinion Of other countries
that the move should be in the opposite

That decision is in general keeping
with the background of the war debt

as the monetary problem is in an in

perts uhisper that the British are

Mr. Roosevelt back on deDalud-

the British are not as ready as

That sounds like an excuse for de-

Z. S. Officials at Sea.
Our officials confess privately they
entered the debt discussions wholly at
sea- They had no clear idea of what
concessions they would make or what
their policy would be. They were bank
ing on getting an offer from the British
and then deciding what they would do
about it. They may decide to report
it to Congress without comment.
There is a lack of seriousness about
the whole business which seems to
presage an uneventful tete-a-tete.
