WILL ROGERS IN. DOWN TO PARITY AT THE CAPITOL
Famous Comedian Delights Audiences in Latest Fea-
 ture, Modern Theme

Very different in theme and 1n treatment from its stars previous screen offerings, but all the more interesting and entertaining for that, Down To Earth scored a decided hit with local Will Rogers fans at it's opening yesterday at the Capitol Theatre.
 Realizing the timeliness of turn ing his witty spotlight on present conditions, the noted humorist has unobtrusively woven the very hu- man story of business mans domestic and financial worries in- to the background of riotously funny picture His solution for his problems is as significant as it is humorous.
 Down To Earth brings back the lovable Pike Peters and the socially ambitious Idy Peters of Rogers first talkie, They Had To See Paris Their European jaunt over, they are again in Claremore, Oklahoma, where Idy is now the towns social leader. Pike is wor- ried over the financial outlook, but Idy and their son, Ross, are too busy spending the family income to pay any attention to his warn ings.
 A bank failure sends Pike hur- rying to Chicago, for big lean, the only thing that will save the business from a crash. In this he is unsuccessful, but he meets the Grand Duke Michael an old friend of Paris days, and brings him back to Oklahoma. On arrival matters come swiftly to head; Ross has gambled away the family fortune; Idy is giving an extravagant cos- tune ball to announce Ross en- gagement to girl he dislikes but whose money he feels the family needs; Pike himself is about to be thrown into bankruptcy.
 A Whirlwind Climax
 The unconventional methods Pike uses to bring the headstrong fam fly down to earth" again makes a whirlwind climax to the film, which in many respects is the best effort of the stars career. Irene Rich again plays the part of his irresponsible wife and Theodore Lodi once more becomes the Rus sian Duke. Dorothy Jordan, Mat ty Kemp, Mary Carlisle, Bran don Hurst and other notables head the supporting cast with uniform ly excellent work.
 David Butler, who has two pre- vious Rogers films to his credit, has done a fine job of directing, and Homer Croy's story is even better suited to he cowboy phil osopher's personality than was the authors They Had To See Par is"
 By all means see this offering and bring the family.
 The program is concluded with late news reel and selected short subjects.

BIC GAME HUNT IS DEPICTED IN
 RoTOGRAvURE
Pictures of Lippincott-W Wal Ter Hunt Have Page in
 Philadelphia Ledger

Plenty of advertising of the very best kind is given Alaska by a full page of pictures, taken by Joseph w. Lippincott, Philadelphia publisher, and Major L. w. T. Waller, in the Philadelphia Public Ledger of October 8.
 While some big game hunters hunt with guns along, Lippincott and Waller, who spent several weeks in the north country after moose, mountain sheep, mountain goat and bear, did their hunting with cameras as well. Their pie lures, a part of the camera rec ord they kept of their trip, are full of interest and should result in more big game hunters fol- lowing their path into Alaska ana the Yukon.
 Of especial interest to Juneau is the photoeTaph of Joe and Mug Ibach, at their home at Lemesu- rier Island. A note explains that Joe is noted bear guide and piloted the party on their trip to Chichagof Island where they shot brown bear"

Tree Might Be Useful
Ia Fi1ht Against Crow

Perhaps IL authorities In. towns
where the starting has been declared
a nuisance would plant few trees Of
the species Pisonia Brunoniana in the
areas frequented by these birds . part
OF their problem would be solved.
This tree II known to the natives Of
New Zealand, its native home, a. the
bird-eating" tree.
Ordinarily only small birds are its
victims, but recently Z specimen in
the garden OF ]. Wheeler at New Ply
mouth, N. e.. Is reported to have cap
tured morepark, species OF owl,
which II said to be the largest bird
ever trapped by one of these trees.
The "bird-eating" tree has seeds
about an inch long that grow In clus-
ters and are covered with a heavy
gum. When small birds fy into this
tree and their feathers come In con-
tact with the seed pods they are quite
likely to be held fast until they are
overcome with exhaustion In their ef-
forts to escape. The tree In Mr..
Wheeler's garden Is said to have
trapped hundreds Of small birds In
this way.

Greatness Linked With
Cause They Stood Fos

There are two kinds of great per-
sonalities. Some men and women by
the sheer brilliance Of their native en-
dowment become individual geniuses,
as Michelangelo was in painting or
Einstein In science. There ID, how
ever, another road to powerful per-
sonality open to all Of ". We can
become interested In something great
Or than ourselves. We can identity
ourselves with 1t. and stand for It.
The more one studies the biographs
Of men like Washington and Lincoln,
or women like Florence Nightingale.
Dorothea DIX and Jane Adams, the
more one feels that 50 far as indi-
vidual brilliance is concerned they
might conceivably have been lost In
the crowd. What most Of all gives
them distinction is that they found
something in their generation worth
while standing for, identified them
selves with cause greater than them
selves. and became so representative

PROTEST STATE
PAY CUTS

Boston (ILNS)-Opposition to wage
cuts for state employees was voiced
by representatives of organized la
Dor at a hearing before the joint
committee on ways and means.
Robert J. Watt, legislative agent
of the Massachusetts State Fedora
ton of Labor, said he could not be-
lieve the committee would follow the
advice of the men who are RESPONSE
BILE for the existing depression, or
that the legislature, if it had to re-
duce salaries, would begin with girls
getting from $500 to 500 year, but
would first turn its attention to the
judges who receive $4,000 year.
He also said the legislature might
properly study the pensions of $4,000,
received by some of the former off,
cials.
II. M. Comerford, representing
Local 263 of the Operating Engineers
Union, said that if the pay of the men
in his trade was cut down they would
not be able to pay their current ex-
penses. He was certain that the small
property holders, were not asking for
the proposed reductions, but that the
complaints came from the traders in
real estate.
Other labor speakers made vigorous
objection to the proposed pay cuts,
now under consideration.

WORK INSURANCE
Legislation Now Held I'm
wise By N. Y. Law
makers

Albany, N. Y. (ILNS)-After ap-
proving unemployment insurance Leg
islation last year in preliminary re-
port, the joint Legislative committee
on unemployment "about faced" on
the issue, and is opposing such legis-
lation at the present session of the
Legislature.
The com m tee "somersault"
brought criticism from President
John L. Sullivan, of the State Fed
GRAFTON of Labor; President David
Dubinsky, Of the International La
dies Garment Workers Union, and
other labor leaders. Other advocates
of unemployment insurance joined in
criticizing the committee
The committee held that unemploy-
ment insurance now would bring dis
missal of thousands of part time
workers and add to unemployment.
"The conclusion seems unacceptable"
the report said, "that if we compel
contributions to a reserve fund be-
fore the index of employment has
turned upward, employers will be
forced to remove from their payrolls
many thousands of part-time workers
who would of necessity be thrown
upon the welfare of agencies of the
ctafa for c1Ipport
Certainly with conditions as they
are, if there is any danger whatso-
ever of such result, the legislation
should be postponed"
A minority report made by Mrs.
Rebekah Kohut referred to memo
randum filed last year, in which she
expressed her conviction that unem-
ployment insurance legislation should
be promptly enacted and said that
she had not changed her opinion ON
the matter.
fhe committees report is believed
at the capitol to mean that all unem-
ployment insurance bills will die in
committee.
