RADIO M YSTERY IS SOLVED BY CAPITOL SCREEN
Who Killed Jenny Wren?' Is Disclosed in Exciting
 Mystery at Show House

Mystery stories, on the stage, in magazines or over the radio are proving themselves more popular than any other form of fiction possibly because they allow the reader-or the audience-to com pletely forget himself in trying to solve the mystery. however it is told.
 "Tne Phantom of Crestwood, , which opens at the Capitol theatre tonight, is one of the most excit- ing mysteries evolved in recent years. When it was broadcast over the radio as an unfinished mystery play, millions tried to solve the puzzle presented.
 There is a murder involved, of course, and suspicion points at various people who might have committed it. The screen picture completes the story that had radio audiences throughout the country guessing the amazing end.
 The excellent cast, which ap- pears in The Phantom of Crest wood" is headed by Ricardo Cor tez and Karen Merely, two screen stars who have both won honors for their work in important roles this year One of Karen Morely's finest roles was in the "ArSen Lu- pine" cast, in which she played with the Barrymores, John and Lionel. Ricardo Cortez played with Irene Dune in the Symphony of Six Million"

Arliss portrays every step in the drama with nuances and shadings rarely seen on the screen.
 "The Man Who Played God" was directed by John G. Adolf, also responsible for the direction of MT. Arliss' last two successes, The Millionaire and Alexander Hamilton" The large cast in- cludes Ivan Simpson Louise Clos ser Hale, Oscar Apfel, Donald Cook, Raymond Midland, Murrayl Kinnell and many others.

 The work of MT. Wise in "Eski- mo- has been splendid, according to MT. Van Dyke.
 Included in the southbound party are nine Eskimos who are being taken down in order to complete the studio work on the pictures It will be the first trip any of them have made to the States.

 Others in the party are Edward Hearn, assistant director; Lotus Long, leading lady, half French and half Japanese; Wong Ting, Chinese actress and sister of Anna May Wong, who is well known in the moving picture world; Iris Ya- maoka, Japanese actress: Leo Charles, Eskimo actor; Eebrulik Rock, Eskimo actor; Joseph Sauers dllQ G0Sd4 OCdll lllEy dktS1o VAiO took the part of mounted police men; Roy Clark, chief of still camera department; Lewis McAfee, electrician; Cyde DeVinna, chief cameraman; c. s.

being produced at a cost of ap- proximately one and three quarter million dollars, has been more than successful. Our greatest difficulty was in securing snow pictures and we were delayed considerably in waiting for snow, to secure the necessary scenes" MT. Van Dyke said. we received willing cooper ation from the residents of both Nome and Teller, which to great extent made the success of our work possible"
 The picture is a romantic drama of Eskimo life showing how the native simplicity of the Eskimo people suffers by contact with the white mans civilization. It is be- ing produced on an elaborate scale and in MT. Van Dykes belief will have great box office attraction.
 We'll Known Director
 Working in isolated places on location is not novel to MT Van Dyke as he has directed many fa- nous pictures taken in places dis tant from Hollywood Among some of the better known pictures of which he has had the direction are Cuban Love Song" "Tarzan," ]" "The Pagan" White Shadows of the south Seas" and Trader Horn
 Over 100000 feet of film were taken by the company while in the Arctic and of this about 12,000 feet will be used in the completed picture, MT. Van Dyke said. The concluding scenes will be taken on the M-G-M lot in Hollywood and it is believed that the additional work will require about three months. The picture is expected to be released by Metro Goldwyn- Mayer in the fall at premier showing in Los Angeles.
 Peter Freuchen, Danish author of Eskimo" the book on which the picture is based has been with the party and acted in the film. Mir Freuchen is striking figure of a man, six feet seven inches tall, with a bushy red beard. He had one foot removed above the ankle after it was frozen in Greenland. where he lived from 1910 to 1924.
 Wise Hero of Real Romance
 Ray Wise, half Eskimo leading man. who was seen in Juneau re- gently in "Igloo" at the Capitol Theatre, is returning to Hollywood with the party on the Alaska. In Hollywood he will join his bride of a few weeks, who preceded him south about two weeks ago. Their marriage in Nome furnished the real romance of the expedition as it came as complete surprise to the other members of the expedi- tion. MT. Wise. and his bride had been childhood friends in the Arc. tic.
 In person, MT Wise has the same charming smile and personality which was shown. on the screen in "Igloo" and retains the bobbed hair reaching nearly to his should

Unconfirmed Report at
Capitol Says.
HOUSE EXPECTED TO GET
MEASURE LATE TODAY
Roosevelt Confers With Douglas
on Reconciling Needs and
Economy Goal.

The revised District Of Columbia
1884 budget bill was being studied by
President Roosevelt this afternoon, pre-
paratory to submitting it to Congress.
While there was no confirmation from
the Bureau Of the Budget, it was re-
ported at the Capitol that the bill car
ried slash OF s5,5o0,000 in addition
to the cuts made by the bureau in
the Commissioners original estimates.
The bill was expected to reach the
House late today The President has
been in frequent consultation with
Lewis Douglas, director Of the budget,
regarding the framing of the new
measure to meet the needs of the local
Government and at the same time com
ply with the administrators aim for
economy
II the bureau recommends $780,
600 cut 1t would reduce the 1884 appro-
priation to $33,239,400
The new cut would mean a serious
curtallment In many municipal activi-
ties, and in addition would probably
lead to the piling up of a surplus OF
nearly $4,000, 900 in idle District funds
in the United States Treasury unless
local taxes are reduced during the 1884
fscl year
The Commissioners last Summer sub
mitted to the Budget Bureau requests
Tor appropriations totaling $44914,23O.
These were based on re-establishing q
Federal contribution of s9,50O ,0O0-the
same sum as that appropriated In the
1882 nscal year. The Budget Bureau.
however, based its figures on a Federal
contribution of only Sits 900, which
was the actual 1888 contribution. and
made other cuts which brought the
budget total down to s3s, s,743,270.
Officials Predicted Surplus.
The House passed an appropriation
bill which further reduced this total to
1911 ,065. and the Senate passed an
otner closely approximating the Bud
get Bureaus figures and totaling s39.-
938,6ll. The bill went into conference
IN the closing days Of the past session,
but Congress adjourned before an
agreement could be reached
At the time the House bill was
passed District officials estimated that
II 1t became law, and tax rates remained
unchanged, the result would be a Dis
trict surplus Of $4,000, 900 In the United
states Treasury by the close Of the 1894
fiscal year.
Lump Sum Not Revealed.
The size Of the Federal contribution
recommended by the bureau and other
details OF the makeup Of the budget
were not revealed.
The oficial document will be sent
to Congress either today or tomorrow,
1t was learned
Speaker Rainey said he was advised
tnat on account Of President Roose-
Velts economy program, substantial
changes are to be made in both the
District and the independent ofices
budgets, both of which failed to pass
at the last Congress.

said:
I'VE consider the provision of the
House farm bill (the Roosevelt bilD
would be very injurious to lamb rails
