DRYS GRID ANEW
To RESTORE
PROHIBITION

With the Eighteenth Amend
nnent now dead, the Anti-Saloon
League today opened a campaign
TO restore prohibition to the
United States.
F. Scott Mcbride, general super
antendent of the league, said in q
statement that repeal will do more
to make prohibition popular than
anything else that has happened
90 far.
Recovery Idea Blamed
Commenting on the vote, Nc
Bride said:
Administration influence,
patronage pressure, partisan
coercion and the unjuStifiable
linking of repeal with the ma
tiOnal recovery program made
. decision on the merits of pro-
hibition impossible.
Therefore, the Anti-SalOOn
League will Immediately launch
. campaign to organize the
voters by townships, counties
and States to retain or regain
the largest possible extent Of
prohibition territory.

Lionel Barrymore Shines in Film
Version Of Phil Stons Novel

What a man! What a family,
for that matter! These Barry
mores, who read perfection into
every line and whose mobile faces
express the most exquisitely Shad-
ed emotions. Lionel Barrymore
gives you Grandpa Storrs, stout
hearted and grand old man whose
love of land and family is his
proudest possession.
Phil Stong's newest novel
strangers Return" playing
Loew's Palace in pictured form,
has a hand-picked cast headed by
Barrymore with the sparkling
eyed Miriam Hopkins standing
close by for second honors; then
there is Franchot Tone, whose
ease of performance is most cred
table.
The story is a homely one:
gingham, homemade jam; Main
Street on Saturday night. A
young and very lovely girl, dis
illusioned and homesick, leaves
New York and a husband and
comes back to the old home place,
which she has never seen and
! from which her father fled in his
youth. There is the urge of fam
lily ties and when she arrives she
resembles, very much, her grand
father, a man who weathered the
Civil War and who loves to tell
about those days of past glory.
On the neighboring farm a
young man, who thoroughly un,
derstands Grandpa Storrs, ano
who loves him, finds a kindred
spirit in the charming Louise
They laugh over the thought OF
the city girl who came to the
farm to make good; life plays
them a trick; love, in this in,
stance, builds character, and the
deep affection of the old man
for his granddaughter makes
her a woman Of great heart and
mind, above the pettiness OF
small-town deviltry.

Native Cast Seen
In "Samarane" "

"Samarang," as 1t unreeled on
the screen at the Metropolitan
yesterday, reveaed itself as a
combination of native and jungle
lore based on the terrors and
thrills Of pearl diving in the
Indian ocean.
Against this background is in
terwoven the story Of the love Of
a native pearl diver for the
daughter OF" a neighboring chief
tain. To win the daughter the
diver braves the perils Of a can
nibal island and the shark in
tested seas to obtain a pearl
worthy of her hand.
His younger brother meets his
death in the jaws of the Killer
of the Sea and vengeance is
sworn. Thence ensues the battle
between the man and the shark
with the happy elimination in
the wedding ceremony OF the
lovers.
The story is developed more or
less spasmodically with a quick
shifting of scenes of the sea and
pearl gathering activities, to life
on the island, the cannibal attack,
jungle battles featuring a man in
the coils of a huge snake, and so
to the grand climax, the battle
between the tiger shark and the
octopus.
This last, in view Of former
films Of the same nature, was dis
appointing. The lack of continuity
tends to lessen the suspense and
action. In the perturbation of
the natives, however, the mother
provides an intensely interesting
and beautiful study in expression.
Subsidiary features include the
news with the Presidents appeal
for cooperation, the entertaining
and amusing Screen Souvenirs and
the comedy, "Pie a Ia Mode"

ETHEL BARRYMORE IN PERSON - Ertn6ssH First ssg: RsT
Burns and Allen
Pack EN- in
at Fox

The Fox Theater is celebrat-
ing Burns and Allen week
which means crowded houses.
Although they were long a
standard vaudeville comedy act,
the team of Burns and Allen
did not reach entertainment
heights until radio gave them
new audience. Then the
movies seized on their talent.
Today they get $500 a week
for four-a-day, and take their
pick of contracts.
Oracle Allen is still the
Dumb Dora, and George Burns
the slickest of feeders. Their
act is pure nonsense, but the
Fox matinee audience late yes
terday liked it so much they
gave them a round Of curtain
calls.
Steals the Act
Serge Flash does some dexter
Gus feats with rubber balls to
open the show and then Fred
Zimbalist demonstrates that the
harmonica is a real musical in
strument, while Mildred Hamlin
reveals a lovely voice of operatic
quality. The dancing act of the
Lee Twins is stolen by a young
man who initiates Hal Leroy so
well he really shouldn't have to
initiate.
The main screen attraction
this week is "Her Bodyguard," ,"
with Edmund Lowe and Wynne
Gibson costarred. It is one of
those features that justifies it.
self because it has an abun-
dance of laughs, some Of them
founded on pretty vulgar stuff.
The story idea is about mu-

to protect her jewels and also tc
intervene against too much at

Love Comedy on
Keith's Screen

Don't Bet on Love" is the
somewhat trite title of the fea-
ture picture now showing at
Keith's Theater, though one gath
ers that betting on the horses is
really the question at hand. Lew
Ayres does plenty when it comes
to picking the right ones, in fact,
he makes such a whopping sue
cess that even the columnist cele-
brities take him up on a big scale.
Ginger Rogers, on the other
hand, a demure little manicurist
in this one, is not so keen on
horse-racing and betting as the
means to a happy welded state,
but insists that the plumbing
business has all the future neces-
sary.
An hour, more or less, is de-
voted to the ups and downs be-
fore the happy ending is finally
unreeled. Since, regardless of a
feminine menace and dark k-haired
sheik, the result is unmistakable
from the very outset, this light
bit of comedy is scarcely breath
taking.
Shirley Grey, Tom Dugan and
Merna Kennedy lend support in
roles which require little. Incl
dentally faulty photography or
poor focusing causes bit of dis
turbance.
"She Outdone Him." a celluloid
comic of the old days. takes up
another half hour. Just why
these relics are dragging into the

vealed. A Krazy Kat cartoon

The latest Kay Francis picture,

for the ills of children but some
how can't find anything that can

from Cupid's arrow.
Kay Francis Shines
Rian James who wrote the screen
story strained, it seemed to me,
to get comedy out of the fact that
a good many are prejudiced against
an M. D. in petticoats. This in
wolves the injection of hokum
that weakens the tale. When he
is more concerned with romance
and less with obstetrics you be-
come interested in the romantic
affairs of DR.. Stevens and the
youthful physician she loves, man
aged to reform and presumably
marries.
Miss Francis is, as usual, calm,
assured and altogether compe'
tent. Lyle Talbot makes dandy
leading man. Glenda Farrell plays
q wisecracking nurse, gets loads
of laugh out of her lines and
would have gotten even more had
the authors not insisted every
time she opened her mouth some
thing funny should pop out. There
is darling baby actor for those
who want an infant heart-tug.
