The Theatrical H'orld-
Brilliant Acting Makes
Evelyn Prentice Great
by WALTER d. HICKMAN

VXTHEN william Powell and
w Myrna 10y are co-starred in
any movie. one has the definite as
surance that something interesting
is going to happen.
This is true in the film version Of
Evelyn Prentice" and it gives these
two a splendid emotional and melo-
dramatic opportunity. Miss 10y
has advanced rapidly in the art OF
general Characterization. This time
she is cast as the wife of famous
criminal lawyer of New York city
She frets because her husband
work takes him away from his home
and child. played by Cora Sue Col
Inns. This fretting causes her to
engage in a frivolous little affair
with a professional rotter, played
effectively and unpleasantly by
Harvey Stephens.
When Kennard CMr. Stephens)
decides to collect for Mrs. Prentice'S
foolish excursion, Mrs. Prentice kills
the gigolo in his apartment and
Judith Wilson, another girl whom
Kennard had betrayed, is charged
with the murder. Things become
involved when John Prentice (N1r.
PowelD defends Judith for murder,
not knowing that his wife is in
volved in the affair.
You easily can see that this story
has tremendous emotional and
melodramatic values and here is a
cast capable of taking advantage Of
every opportunity.
So as not to rob you of the thrill
of suspense, a lot of tears and some
delicious wise cracks dished out by
Una Merkel, will give you no more
Of the story.
Here is clever writing and act
ing. This movie comes under the
sob drama classification and is a
sure matinee winner.
Evelyn Prentice" is high-powered
melodrama and sentiment. The
formula never fails to work and has
greater value when the cast is COM
posed of experts.

Jean Parker is the one who lifts
the picture with her fine straight
acting in the role of Toni, the white
girl who is abused by a stepfather
and loved by Young, but who falls
in love with a Canadian pet-dealer,
Eric Benton (played by Kent Tay-
lori.
Miss Parker is the life of the
show and about her the thread of
the plot weaves itself until the final
struggle breaks it and the complica-
tons are brought to a satisfying, if
not entirely pleasant, end.

Lanvin red and her flowers were
bronze chrysanthemums. Miss

Carol Jean East, the bridegroom

Boys problems
change with the years and the
troubles that Bill has in his film
are those that might befall any
modern youngster. I found "Peck's
Bad Boy" mighty entertaining and
it does carry a great lesson with it
to parents as well as their sons.
Jackie Cooper as Bill Peck and
Jackie Scarf as Horace, the too
goody-goody snob, are responsible
for most of the effective work in
this movie.
Jackie Cooper is natural lad
and he will get into your heart be-
cause he is real American boy
of today. Here is natural, hon
est characterization with no over
acting.
1t is the job of Jackie Scarf to
make you hate Horace and he does
magnificent job. I know that l
wanted to rush up, take him off the
screen and give him a good spank
ing.
o. P. Heggie as Duffy, the man
of all trades around the Peck house
hold, gives a delightful perform
ance of an old man who loves to
spin yarns about what he hasn't
accomplished in life. Heggie makes
Duffy a delightful old relic.
Dorothy Patterson is cast as Aunt
Lily, the mother of Horace. She
puts the right amount of vinegar
into her role and you will hate her
as much as you do Horace.
Thomas Meighan is Bills father.
Here is no distinguished acting, but
an actors attempt to be natural
under difficulties.
"Peck's Bad Boy" is a picture for
the entire family, and I suggest that
you take your boy to see this one.
Now at the Apollo.

FEWER LAWS, MORE NORRIsEs

.~ENATOR GEORGE w NORRIS seems
- never weary of political weI-doing. He is
70. and could have rested through the terrific
Nebraska summers heat. Instead, he has been
spending his own time and money urging the
voters to support an amendment changing
Nebraskas two-chamber legislature into a
small. unicameral body Of wel-paid lawmakers
who would sit until their work is finished.
He says the present system OF two cham
bers is intricate, scatters responsibility. per-
nits selfish interests to dominate by control
of committees and conference third houses"

and more responsible.
He is probably right as usual
But are not the mechanics Of government
less important than the personnel? This coun-
try needs not reforms in methods so much as
more Senator Norrises.

THE INDUSTRIAL JAM

A administration that came into Office to
n the tune of nationwide banking COL
lapse and the almost complete stagnation Of
trade and industry, is being forced by the
irresistible logic of circumstances to discover
in unemployment the key log of the entire
JAM
The banks have been put on their feet, and
trade and industry are being stimulated; but
100000 unemployed men can cast longer
shadow than closed banks and unbalanced
profit ledgers and if their condition can not
be improved the improvements that are made
in other quarters are not likely to be perma-
nent.
1t is this factor in the situation which is
more and more coming to occupy the center
Of the administrations attention. It is re-
hected in the Presidents recent assertion that
he will not accept as necessary condition OF
our future permanent army of unemployed:
and it bids fair to give the administration an
extraordinarily complex problem.
1t is interesting TO analyze the unemploy-
ment army.
A few months ago Isador Lubin, United
States commissioner of labor statistics made
such an analysis. He found that factories
making consumers goods-food, clothing lux
uries, shoes, and so on-are now employing
only 100000 fewer persons than they employed
in 1929. The durable goods industries-those
which produce things used in the making of
other things-are on the other hand, now en-
ploying 100000 fewer persons than they en-
ployed in 1929.
Employment in the railroad, mining and
service" industries is about 1000 900 below the
1929 level
Thus, in these great industrial and business
groups complete return to the 1929 level
would result in unemployment of only 100000
men. And more than twice that number by
the most conservative figures, are now idle!
Where do we turn then? Most of the re-
naming jobless. says Mr.. Lubin, originally
worked in building construction, on the farms,
and IN professional and domestic service. The
new housing program may restore jobs to those
IN the first group; improvement in the farm
situation is the key to the second group: and
only general an-round business revival will
take care of the third
Analysed in this way. it is obvious that the
unemployment problem is far from simple. No
one program. by itself, will come close to solv-
ing it. There must be broad attack on many
fronts.

HOW LONG WILL 1T LAST?

MAINTAINING their continued desire to
4F1 depart from the confines of Indiana
penal institutions, five prisoners this week
having stroIed away from their legally APP
pointed residences.
If we don't watch out in Indiana there will
be no real companonship for the prisoners
who haven't had time to prepare their going
away trousseau.
This week the Indiana state prison lost two
of its faithless inhabitants and yesterday the
Indiana state penal farm found the list OF
occupants reduced by three.
The indianapolis Times has recommended,
over a period of weeks, the solution OF this
situation. That solution is based on the in
stitution of civil service and the merit system
in all penal institutions and the state police
force.
The legislators of Indiana will find the
task I'D to them shortly after the first OF the
new year Unless they are capable OF han
ding such a grave problem, the voters of the
state should see that certain candidates Tor
the legislature remain at home.
Until men of ability are placed in the
states general assembly the prison conditions
will continue to perplex honest citizens. How
long will it last? Certainly the legislators
know the answer.

AMERICAS HEROES

ONCE in a blue moon the grand old game
~ of baseball losses to the top character
so typcally American that the public takes
him to its heart and makes a national hero
of him.
This happened years ago with Ty Cobb; it
happened a little later with Babe Ruth it
seems to have happened again this fall with
Dizzy Dean.
All these men eXemplify to perfection the
kind of spirit that makes baseball such a
definitely and everlastingly American form of
sport.
Cobb represented the flaming, unendingly
competitive young athlete who was out to
win at all costs. There was an aura of row.
dyism about him, which was as it should be
for baseball, fundamentally, has a streak of
rowdyism itself.
Ruth was the big, burly bruiser type; the
physical giant whose natural gifts are coupled
with an intense, juvenile JOY in life.
And Dean, in turn, is the braggart who is
forever making good his boasts
Every small town. every big city neighbour
hood, has seen these men in miniature, over
and over again. And that is why they became
national figures
