LAUGHTER IN NELL PLAYING
 AT COLISEUM
Jim Fully Author of Pow erful Drama Featuring
 Pat O'Brien

The right kind of woman is the greatest gift of life, but the wrong kind makes Laughter in Hell'- points out Universaps pow Ill drama of that name which is now showing at the Coliseum Theatre.
 Laid in a mining town in the South at the close of the 18th Century, the film traces the youth of young Irishman who marries a faithless girl and finds his life blasted when he discovers her in the arms of his enemy since child hood. His passionate crime sends him to the Hell of prison chain gang whose foreman is the broth CT of the man he has killed. The brutalities of these penal organi- cations, as recently exposed in the newspapers, are graphically DOT trayed as the foreman attempts to make life more than miserable for the killer of his brother. Interest is heightened when the prisoner makes break for life, and his efforts to evade the reaches of the law provide the tense film with unlimited suspense.
 Pat O'Brien is authentically cast in Laughter in Hell' as the young Irishman who pays for his pas sions in the fullest measure. Mer- na Kennedy gives bewitching performance as the faithless wife who finds her flirtations lead to tragedy. Gloria Stuart, Berton Churchill and Tom Brown are seen in the remaining fe a tur ed roles with Arthur Vinton, Lew Kelly, Clarence Muse, Tommy Con- lon and other screen artists in- cluded in the exceptionally large and established cast.
 The film marks the latest lit erary effort of the great Irish real ist, Jim Fully, and like all Tully's works is unusually powerful and penetrating Edward Calm directed the film with a fine sense of dra- matic values.
 Included on the program are selected short subjects and current news events.

"SO BIC" DRAWS LARGE CROWD TO CAPITOL SUNDAY
Barbara Stanwyck Heads Tremendous Cast in
 Prize Novel

To add forty years to ones age in forty minutes is a feat seldom performed, but Barbara Stanwyck did it several times during the filming of 50 Big" her new War ner Bros. picture which drew a packed house at the Capitol theatre last night.
 In the early scenes of the pie ture Miss Stanwyck, in the role of Selma Peaks, heroine of Edna Ferber's celebrated novel, appears as a young girl; but the story carries Selma on to maturity and to the verge of old age, and Bar bara was artfully made up for these last sections of the film by Percy Westmore, chief expert in such matters at the Warner Bros. studios. Those who have seen So Big" at the Capitol agree that Miss Stanwyck makes a very gracious and charming old lady.
 "Very few actresses of tod a y would be willing to make up as a woman of advancing years" said Westmore in discussing his trans formation of the radiant Bar bara. Most of our young actresses know that nine-tenths of their public appeal is due to their youth ful looks. But Barbara didn't wor- ry about that. She didn't have to. She is real actress, and l believe we are only watching the beginning of one of the greatest careers that the American stage and screen has ever known
 So Big" was directed by Will liam A. Wellman. The supporting least includes George Brent, Dickie Moore, Bette Davis, Mae Madison, Hardie Albright, Robert Warwick, Alan Hale and Dorothy Peterson.
 In addition to the great feature picture, So Big" the program at the Capitol Theatre tonight in- cludes selected shorts among which are Strange as it Seems,' show ing oddities from all over the world, an animated cartoon and an interesting news reel.

DEAN RICE DELIVERS
 BACCALAUREATE SERMON
 D.H.S. GRADUATING CLASS

Taking as his sub Q ct, "The Abundant Life" Dean c. E. Rice preached the Baccalaursate sermon to the eleven Douglas High School graduating Seniors yesterday aft ernoon. The Seniors and high school teachers marched in to- gether and occupied two front pews decorated with purple and gold streamers. In the windows were boxes fashioned of purple and gold crepe paper with yellow daf- fodils in them.
 Quoting St. John, Dean Rice said: T am come that they may have life-abundant life" He re- marked that it was a pleasure to address a graduating class as they have accomplished something, have passed a milestone on the high way of life.
 The Abundant Life
 Religious life is, after all, an abundant life, Dean Rice said, launching into his subject, and life is lacking without it, and cannot be very full. Our Lord did not come to restrict out lives or narrow them. The life of man is infinitely beyond that of the horse or the dog, or the busy little bee. AS graduates we are likely to ask: What does it all mean? Why was I created?'" Dean Rice said he had met many fine young men and women with no religion, and something was lacking. The abun- dant life includes life in the pres ence of God, he said.
 There is purpose in existence, averred Dean Rice, and we are not here merely as matter of chance. Life is not guesswork but you and have a place in the plan of AL mighty God. Life becomes full lived with God. Religion broadens our viewpoint and makes life worth while"
 Scripture Reading
 The Baccalaureate service open ed with scripture reading by Rev Caldwell. Mrs. Flora Kirkham sang, "The Golden Key" accompanied by Miss Margaret Pearce on the organ. Misses Thoma and Pim- perton sang duet, Tn the Gar den of Tomorrow" also accompan- jed by Miss Pearce.

Although the weather wasn't ex- actly sunmery there were quite a few bleacherites out to see yes terday's Paps-Bills tiff. The fans missed the usual throaty shouting of one Dolly" Gray, especially when Bus Orne fouled three of the precious pellets over the back stop.
 For some reason much amuse- ment was afforded the lady fans when Joe Nello took the mound in the ninth. He smiled when they called him "Mussolini," and grim ned when he was accused of be- ing a Moose in Elks' clothing.

Nominee Declares

NEW YORK-Hammering away
with that remarkable revolutionary
energy that has characterized his
campaign for Mayor, Robert Minor
today issued a final statement on
today's election.
'As the election campaign draws
to a close, 1t becomes amazingly clear
that there exists conspiracy among
candidates to put over the same pre-
gram, dictated by the bankers, re-
gardless Of which candidate may be
elected" Minor declared.
Bankers Program
This agreed-upon program, &C
cepted by solemn and formal agree
ment by LaGuardia, Mckee and
O'Brien," Minor said, land virtually
adhered to by Solomon, although his
agreement formally was unnecessary
because of the insignificance of the
vote he will get, is an agreement lit
orally to starve the more than a
million unemployed workers Of New
York and to raise the transit fare on
all subway, elevated and surface
lines to not less than seven cents.
"The understanding between the
three leading capitalist candidates
centers upon the promise not to re-
sort to any Of the extraordinary forms
of taxation that would tap the treas
uries the wealthiest classes on
the ground OF the existence of
crisis" continued the Communist
candidate.

Vote; Watchers
Must Guard Count
Boss Parties Will Do
All They Can to
Slash Red Vote

VIEW YORK.-As voting in
the city elections begin, all of
the capitalist parties, to keep
the workers from voting for
the only workingclass political party,
the Communist Party, will unite at
the polls to cut down or count out
as many Communist votes as they
can.
They realize that this city election
is Of the greatest national Importance
because Of the particularly sharp
turn in the economic crisis and the
increase in struggles of the workers
and farmers. Above all, they do not
want a large Communist vote and
they will fight tooth and nail to keep
Communist candidates from being
elected.
There are excellent chances to
elect Communist candidates for some
OF the Offices, and only the greatest
vigilance of all the workers who vote
will insure their vote being registered
and counted.
It is of the greatest Importance
that the whole Party in New York
be modified for the polls-to get out
the vote, to see that workers are
not intinidated, and to watch when
the votes are counted.
The polls open at am. and close
at 6 pm. sharp. Watchers should
be at their nearest election head
quarters one hour before the polls
open.
Fight Intimidation
Workers who seek to vote for the
Communist ticket and are intimi-
dated or interfered with. should pro-
test to the Communist Party watch
ers, who will either wear badges, or
lacking these, will wear a red tie

The greatest responsibility rests
with the Communist watchers at the
polls to see that the Communist vote

Each voter is entitled to minutes.
All attempts at fraud should be ex-

If a worker, for some reason, IS
denied the right to vote, this should
be challenged. Have the worker swear
to- his right to vote. His vote should
then be recorded on a special ballot.

the legal murder OF Fuel i1ee'
To Governor Albert c. Richie,
Annapolis, Maryland.
Dear Governor:
Your letter, dated Oct. 27, post
marked as mailed at Annapolis, NOV
2. was received today. Fuel Lee, you
say, was hanged on the night before
you wrote the letter.
Unlike the candidates Of all other
PARTIES, one of the chief reasons for
nv running for the office Of Mayor
has to do precisely with such mat
tiers in New York and elsewhere as
the frane-up and murder Of Fuel Lee.
Your arguments are evasions OF the
only points at issue.
My telegram to you did not dispute
that Fuel Lee was convicted, nor
that the reason given for the con-
yiction was the claim that he had
murdered four innocent people
while they slept peacefully in their
beds" My complaint Is precisely
that such hideous crimes against the
Negro people are habitually covered
I'D, in order to blind the eyes OF the
white masses, by the hideousness Of
the real or the alleged crimes, for
which nominally they are victimized,
and the putting through Of the lynch
ing in the form Of more or less
regularly conducted conviction and
trial.
Your allegation that there was
not the slightest prejudice against
him" I DO not doubt will be pre-
served in the future histories Of this
country, written after the overthrow
of the callous, reactionary, blind and
deaf ruling class, which you repre-
sent. Are you indeed so cynical as to
pretend that there is no prejudice
against Negroes in Maryland? Not
to you, but over your head to the
people Of Maryland, will say that
