Short-Lived Revolt Quelled
By Government.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 10. U.P)-
The training ship Wyoming, with a
battalion of the 7th regiment mar
ines aboard, sailed today from
Tampa, Fla, for Havana, Cuba, to
reinforce the United States naval
squadron already there, the navy
department announced today.
The light cruiser Richmond.
flagship of Rear Admiral Freeman's
special squadron, the destroyers
Reuben James and Claxton and a
supply ship the Neches, already
were in Havana harbor Fourteen
other ships, mostly destroyers, were
scattered in Cuban and Florida
ports.
The state department reempha-
sized it's position that the sending
of troops closer TO Cuba did not
herald possible intervention in the
strife torn republic, but that the
marines were dispatched southwark
merely to stand by in case Ameri-
cans in Cuba became endangered.
HAVANA, Nov. TO- U.P1Presi-
dent Grau San Martin today issued
military order declaring all Ha-
vana in state of siege, ano ad-
vising all inhabitants to remain
out of sight
In the tension following the
crushing of yesterdays short lived
rebellion, and while the authori-
ties were counting the dead and
wounded, which had mounted to
more than l50, the government took
drastic steps tc check the foment-
ing of new revolt.
The banks and a few stores op-
ened fitfully today, but there was
little business. An occasional crack
of a rifle was heard, and there
were some reports of sniping, but
in general an unnatural hush pre-
vailed over the city.
/ Estimates Of dead in yesterday s
! battle reached 200 this morning,
with the reported discovery of go
bodies under the debris of the
Atares Fortress, buried beneath COL
lapsing stone ana mortar.
The Emergency hospital held 38
dead; the Dependencies clinic had
eight bodies; Calixto Garcia hos
pital had H. the morgue contained
73.
Wounded will run into the hum
| dreds.
The morgue and hospitals were
crowded with weeping, hysterical
women and men, scanning the
death lists and seeking to identify
the dead.
Finds Son Dead
Enrique Pizzi Deporras, crusad-
ing night editor of the Pals, found
at the Emergency hospital today
the body of his 17-year-old son,
Enrique, Jr., who was killed at the
Atares Fortress. Enrique was an
assistant translator for the United
Press.
Soldiers at the foot of Atares
hill fired into the air to disperse
the hordes of curious citizens. The
soldiers guarding the fortress be-
came alarmed, and in turn began
firing, slightly wounding three civ
ilianS.
The police were replaced by
members of "the army of law and
justice, dressed in khaki slacks
and blue shirts, and armed with
rifles of an old pattern. This force
directed traffic Many of the VOL
unteers were Negroes.
Patrols sped around the city in
open automobiles, with rifles cock
ed, now and then taking pot shots
at snipers on rooftops.

PRISON TERM
IMP POSED ON
NOTED FLYER

SHANGHAI, Nov. 10. W.R)-Bert
Hall, the Missouri soldier of for
tune who has received the decora-
tions of many foreign countries for
his military aviation services, heard
with downcast eyes today a SEN
tence that committed him to pris-
on in his native land on charge
of swindling a Chinese general in
an arms and ammunition deal.
The famous flyer was sentenced
by the U. S. district court here to
spend 21a years in the Mcneil Is
land federal penitentiary near Seat
tie, Wash. He was charged with
accepting $4,000 (Mexican from
General Ho Chu-Ko, Chinese chief
of ordnance, for an arms shipment
which was never delivered.
Although he pleaded guilty, the
carefree Higginsville, Mo-, native
claimed that he himself had not
benefited from the deal and that
papers taken from him by japanese
authorities would prove his inno-
cence. When the japanese denied
ndVlllS any VI lllS COCuillcileS, iC
was called for sentence.
Hall left his Missouri home about
25 years ago to become a steam
boat pilot, then a daredevil auto
mobile racer. He went to France
where Henri and Maurice Farman
and Louis Bleriot taught him to
pilot an airplane.

American members of the Lafay-
cite escadrille in the World war

Ann Harding As
Lady Doctor
At Keith s
BY ANDREW r. KELLEY

These lady doctors appear to
find picking the right husband
quite a task. Very able in medi-
cine and skilled in surgery they
seem to be lost when it comes to
romance. A short while ago Kay
Francis suffered from Cupiditis of
the heart and now the blonde
Ann Harding, another petticoated
M. D., moons over similar prob
lem.
1.-THE Right To Romance"
which opened at R-K-O-Keith's
last night is one of the mild Ann
Harding features. The story by
Myles Connolly is a frail struc-
ture and is spread pretty thin to
cover the conventional feature
length.
Ann Harding is the eminent DR..
Simmons, plastic surgeon. Every.
body respects her ability to lift
faces and perform operating room
miracles, but mere males look on
her as an ether smelling genius
and not as woman.
Graves Romance
DR.. Simmons longs to become
just Peggy Simmons for a while,
radiate the enhancing OdorS
that become a pretty woman,
wear fluffy underwear and be
admired for her truly feminine
qualities. So she drops profess
Sional duties, goes to California
for a holiday and straight away
becomes intoxicated by the Paci-
fic moon, sweet music and soft
speeches into falling in love with
an aviator-playboy, much young
er than herself.
When Bobby pursues her to
New York she marries him
forthwith. 1t soon turns out
that her husband still has a
fond spot in his heart for a
boyhood sweetheart. DR.. Sim
mons discovers this and leaves
him only to be summoned to
save the beauty of her rival
when she and Bobby crash in
his airplane. DR.. Simmons nobly
does her best to save Bobby's
girl friend, kisses him a fond
farewell, and turns her atten-
ton to a devoted doctor, closer
to her own age. who has been
lowering about all the time.
Since Robert Young is very
youthful looking for Ann Hard
ing's husband you get the i'm
preston she robbed the cradle
and might have known better

than to expect happiness from
such a union. Not much SYM
pathy. Nils Asther as the patient
and adoring medical colleague
who wins her in the end is more
happily cast. Sari Martha makes
very alluring brunette rival.
A stupid looking boy actor with
missing front teeth recites
speeches in a painfully mechani-
cal way and destroys the attempt
at childish appeal.
Errors in casting, tepid dialogue
and slow direction make "The
Right to Romance" less than a
triumph, although the cold,
patrician beauty of Ann Harding
has been beautifully photo
graphed.
On the supplementary program
is the Pathe News reel with
graphic shots of the Cuban revo-
luton and the opening of the
new N.B.C. radio studios in New
York. John P. Medbury spells

Ann Harding Visits

Ann Harding is almost nett
culous when it comes to carrying
out details connected with her
film work. So it was that she
insisted on visiting a plastic
surgeons operating room before
undertaking her role in R-K-O

Because she portrays the role
of a famous lady plastic surgeon
