Chicago, Ql., Jan. 18.-What is
news? Ask Chicago-it believes it
knows.
Americans made the greatest long
distance cross-water mass flight. That
was news.
But there was greater" news in
Chicago. A 63-year-old woman ply
sician, cultivated and soft-spoken, was
on trial for her life, charged with
killing her daughter-in-law on her op-
Grating table
In Chicago, at least, not enough
could be written of this woman. Nor
bidness? Hardly. Life remains the
chief mystery, the ineXplicable.
Flights and wars, and even a trip to
the moon, have no attraction to equal
the delving into that master mystery
life.

81 Mr.. Billy Rose, the black-haired,
short, sharpeyed song writer and pro-
ducer Of various revenues has con-
triVed in his Casino De Paree, a sort
of college boys dream OF what a
night club ought to be. The Casino

packed with tables and the balconies
also crowded with them like hanging
gardens, is so gaudy and loud and
loud and girly-girly, so aglitter with
tinsel, so lavishly staged and bump
tious with jazz, that it is more than
little absurd.
1t is absurd, but it is for these
naive eyes fascinating and for the
sort of joint it processes to be it is
well, nigh perfect. If the late zeig-
field had got together with Billy Min
sky and the late Josef Urban and all
three had sat in conference with the
producers of the Follies Bergere,
something like the Casino would have
resulted, I feel sure.
Downstairs in the lounge between
the acts, patrons mill into a so-called
nudist bar where the walls are hung
with comic drawings of nearly every
one you have ever heard Of minus
raiment, and here, by some trick of
lighting and electrical illusion with
mirrors, is to be seen a nymph two
and one-half inches high who disports
herself on rocky shore and who will
] promise, complete your Aunt EN-
mas evening if you give her a peep at
it. Here the Partisan touch of the
Follies Bergeres between-the acts
sideshows is to be seen. Not so wick
ed. Reading over the foregoing.
see l may have given the idea that
this mammoth of New York's night
life is highly naughty. Nothing
which moves as fast as the show
does here, with such a fanfare ot
music from two orchestras and q
whirligig of dancing could be reall,
wicked. That is unless YOU deem

Fay Wray Stars
At RiaIto

Outline number one, top
drawer, third file case on your
left, spy formula with Austro-
Russian background; alright, quiet
please, lights, camera, shoot!"
That may have been the order
of the director of Madame Spy"
playing currently at the Rialto;
on the other hand, the production
unit may have decided with all
the talk of preparedness and
peace, it might be apropoS to
throw in another story Of the war
just for remembrance.
Whatever the reason. one thing
you were not tipped off to is the
very excellent work of Edward
Arnold, one time matinee idol,
now given to girth and heavy
roles.
B-24, in the service of the Car,
is detailed to ferret out the in
nermost secrets of the Austrian
command in Vienna; it so happens
that B-24 is a very beautiful, very
young and charming girl, who
falls in love with the officer of
the enemy she is sent to destroy.
The secret service, being what
it is, in war war films at any rate,
demands the supreme sacrifice of
its agents, but this young lady,
though she crashes a heavy car
into a tree at terrific speed, Suf-
fers only a broken arm, and
wakens in a hospital train with
her beloved Captain detailed to
attend her.
Maybe all the spies were very
beautiful; we've had Garbo, Diet
rich, Bennett, and a host of
others working for those valu-
able papers and always getting
their man. Why doesn't some en-
terprising author write a story
about a spy neither beautiful nor
charming, who took her job in
her teeth and got the papers with
out that sex element.
Anyway, there you have it!
Fay Wray, Nils ASther, John Mil

Arnold, oscar APPEL, Noah Beery,
David Terrence, an array of
tried and true names, make up
the cast.

writes are urged to shun by the
radio authorities are: Swell"
which the photographers claim is
the cheapest and most overrated
word in the language and owed
it's unjustified vogue to dull col

Peggy Hopkins Joyce'S early
morning party at the Shoreham
after the Roosevelt gayety. Peggy
wore 1900 caratS of diamonds, If
you must know, and there were
two privates detectives guarding
the jewels every minute she was
in Washington.
Nothing but champagne was
served at the Hopkins fete and
twice the glamorous Peggy sent
the walters back because they
happened to have the wrong vint-
age. She remembered, too, the
correct name of all to whom she
was introduced as guests and
charmed everybody by her gra-
cious affability. The menu was
something to talk about. The
most faStidious epicures were un-
able to pick a flaw. The party
had Senator McAdoo and fine
collection of notableS and lasted
until 6 a. m.
Before it was over Mrs. John
Allan Dougherty dropped in to
personally thank the entertainers
who helped make the Roosevelt
birthday an event which will be
