Countess of Monte
Crist0' Enjoyable

One Of the most enjoyable pictures
OF the year. Astounding with miscel-
laneous situations, ranging from gay
comedy to hectic romance. is THE
Countess of Monte Cristo,' colorful
continental drama, which opens at
the Capitol theater tomorrow tues
day.
Adapted to the screen from a Euro
pean play by Walter Fleisch, The
Countess Of Monte Cristo' presents
little film extra girl, who, prompted
by a temperamental whim, drives
car right out Of the studio to an ex-
elusive winter resort, where she Is
mistaken for a real countess.
An element Of unusual suspense is
maintained throughout the story
when the countess" is continually
getting into hot water and at any
moment stands in danger OF being
discovered. To further complicate
matters she becomes involved in the
Vaccinations Of two crooks.
Fay Wray, looking more lovely than
ever IN this picture, gives an excep-
tionally fine performance in the title
role, while Paul Lukas supplies the
romantic male interest in his suaye
and debonair continental style. It's
an ideal part for Lukas.
Karl Freund. the director, has turn
ed out skillful piece Of work. The
supporting cast is an unusually good
one. including Patsy Kelly, q new
conner to the screen, who shows mark.

her characterization of the name role

Whether it is entirely the star, the

moot question. But the result is in

In the first place, Vina Delmars

perfect vehicle for Joan Crawford,
whose fame rests on her vivid inter-
probation of the modern girl. AS
pretty Sadie Mckee, Joan is indis-
putably in her right element. She
gives the character life and force and
sweet credulity.
Three men play significant roles in
her life. They are Franchot Tone.
as Michael. attorney at law: Gene
Raymond as Tommy, charming weak
ling and crooner Of lush songs: and
Edward Arnold, as Brennan, q rois-
tering, drunken millionaire whose
privilege it is to be her husband for
a-time. All three give performances
brilliant each in his especial way.
Jean Dixon and Leo g. Carroll OF
New York stage fame, make their
screen debuts in important roles IN q
manner which reflects credit upon
both themselves and the picture. Gene
Austin, singer Of sweet songs, also
makes his bow Is q night club enter

The flight of the British airmen
from London to Melbourne was a
marvellous accomplishment from a
civilian flying standpoint, but COM
pletely negative from a military
point.
This was the view expressed
here today by a high ranking mill
tary authority.
In order to avoid any public
controversy with Brig. Gen. Will
liam Billy" Mitchell, wartime
chief of the air corps, the Army
leader requested his name be with
held, but he secuted General
Mitchell's claim concerning the
military value of the flight. He
asserted:
"Out of 20 starters, only
three machines managed to
reach Australia and they came
in limping.
"In what position would those
machines have been to escape

NJ GRADY QUITS
MIRA To TAKE
LABORPOST
International News Service


President Roosevelt's lew Ma.
tional Recovery Board cut itself
adrift from johnson influence"
today. 1t was learned that Ed
ward F.. McGrady, old NRA labor
adviser, is leaving to become AS
sistant Secretary of IiahtT Mr..
McGrady, has been with the
MIRA ever since birth of the
''Blue Eagle"
He returned to the Capital this
week from San Francisco. where
he effected a truce between
shippers and longshore1lan after
q six months parley.
It is believed the new board
under craftsmanship of Clay Will
liamS will mark time until after
the November elections to an.
nounce a program along the lines
of the industrial union resolu-
ton" passed last month by the
American Federation of Labor.
Silent On Union Problem
Mr.. McGrady was silent on the
problem Of vertical or industrial
unions. He leaves the scene with
Sidney Hillman, as chief labor
spokesman under the Blue Eagle.
Mr.. Hillman is member of the
new board named by the Presi-
dent.
Mr.. Hillman also is member
of the Labor Advisory Board and
president of the Amalgamated AS
ISOLATION of Garment Workers,
one of the strongest and most sue
cesSful.
Mr.. McGrady is expected to
hold final meeting with labor
leaders and the labor advisory
board of the recovery administra-
ton.
Board Awaits Election
These will include such labor
men as John L. Lewis, president
of the United Miners; William
Green, president of the A. F. of
L., and John P. Frey, secretary
treasurer of the Sheet Metal
Division of the Federation.
Since President Roosevelt de-
creed a 36-hour week for the cot
' ton garment industry, there are
few who believe his new Recov-
cry Board is not seriously con-
Sidering a vertical setup, espe-
cially if the voters return a

A Big Saving, and It's So

Cough medicines usually contain a

all.
Then get from your druggist 2h

those machines would have
been obliged to carry at least
500 or 1000 pounds of bombs
and they never could have
made the flight in anything
like three days If they carried
such a load.
Furthermore, the whole
world was pulling for these
fliers. Everywhere they landed
assistance was given them
readily. Such would not be the
case If they were on a war
mission"
General Mitchell's contention is
that the flight foreshadows the
beginning of a new world empire
for the nation that possesses the
greatest air force and demon
strates conclusively the danger to
which this country is subject from
foreign aerial attack.
