ROOSEVELT STEPS IN

That was the situation when the disordered ranks were called to attention by MT. Roosevelt's con- ments on the sales tax and gov ernmental reorganization, and his invitation to Speaker Garner to confer with him
 It is true that some doubt per- sists just how far the President Elect is prepared to go. It is true also that the mutual veto power remains. But at least the Democrats now can prepare a pro- gram which, if it fails of enact ment. before March 4, will be as sured of smooth and speedy sail ing at the special session-now ap- parently inevitable.
 It is certain MT Roosevelt will be. counselled by some of his friends not to go too far in risking his prestige before a Congress where Democratic control hangs by a slender thread
 Even the Republicans see the hazards of too amiable disposi- ton on his part to expose his hand before he is in a position to play it.
 So the thing MT. Roosevelt now is doing is filled with diverse pos abilities which make it by far the most interesting political de- velopment since the election.

after deck of a pirate ship, specta-
tors sat snugly in their seats and
permitted themselves to drift back
to the period of 1900. Fierce, blood
thirsty pirates they saw-and lots
of pretty maidens. But most pleased
were they when they heard them
sing. This proved the most de-
lightful part of the entertainment.
Alfred Oddone as the pirate chief,
Capt. Dick, singing his love song
to the moon, proved by far the
outstanding member of the cast, and
it was not until he repeated his
song that the spectators would per-
NIT the show to continue.
His co-star, Jean Larcombe, also
did well. but her soprano voice did
not carry the volume that 1t should

Gable at His Best
In mo Man of Her own"

Ah Nv GsAah VI oWH.
CLARK GABLE, customarily a
glum, strong man, exhibits him
self as smiling gentleman of some
leisure in mo Man of Her own"
the new film at Loew's Palace. He
is cheerful and he is wicked, and
he treats his ladies in the way that
they want to be treated With the
result that there is much to be en-.
joyed In the first part of the picture,
due to some amusing dialogue, to
Mr.. Cables sudden ease of playing,
and to several handsome ladies who
NIL the eye with considerable glad
ness whenever they appear.
Although we have never been par
ticularly under Mr.. Cables spell, it
Is only fair to state that in this he
acts intelligently, wisely and well.
But for curious look which he gets
about him-as though he wasn't able
TO swallow a cough drop-he is con-
yincing in everything he does. This
Is not hard to understand when he
Is placed opposite such blonde per-
formers as Carol Lombard and
Dorothy Mackail-two OF the slim
meat and trimmeGt sisters OF the
cinema. while Miss Maekail unfor-
tunately peters out after a BIT IN

this particularly, because they will
see Mr.. Gable performing his little
miracles with remarkable fervor and
some originality. When he walks
out Of his er-playing racket in
New York and wanders into Glen
dale and introduces himself to Miss
Lombard in the Glendale Library
there is much that is amusing and
a good deal that will make the ladies
giggle and squirm.
Eventually the picture settles
down to being ordinarily heavy"
but it ends on bright note and its
first half is by all odds Gables best
work. E. de S. M

generals Summer palace.
Although there is nothing partic-
ularly sprightly about it, and some
CT the sequences are long and slightly
tedious, the film is a fine example
of how a large screen canvas may
be filed with color and panoramic
splcador and how such director as
Frank Capra may do quiet but dis
tinguished bit of fine mob" work.
The scenes in which the civil war is
pictured are done with the utmost
realism and naturalism-and an
oGher m2sterful touch is the scene
IN which Barbara Stanwyck is shown
being hustled sway to the generals
palace, lying i'll abed on the train
which is taking her away from her
own ill-advised wedding.
Miss Stanwyck, as the heroine Of
all this, is well enough in her role,
but whatever she docs (and she
cesms a trif1e too cool about it, is
overShadowed by the unexpectedly
fine work of Nils Asther, who emerges

Sing Sing on Saturday, gets his

finally goes to his doom with a
cigarette in his mouth on a Satur-

boy friend in Jail, does the shoot
