This city, whose municipal gov
eminent was stripped of practically
all power by the Long-controlled
legislature, was quiet-"saying little,
thinking much"-as one prominent
citizen said.
The newspapers, all bitterly OPP
posed to the Long regime, had little
comment. why comment-why
shout into a cistern?" was the pri-
vate comment of one sub-editor.
Opposition Is Stified
The attitude of the old regular
Democratic machine, in control of
the machinery of local government
which now has little to govern, was
one of encouragement. Apparently,
the Kingf1Sh had this opposition
stif1ed.
The Schultz Cigar Store Corpora
ton announced that because of high
chain store taxes passed by the Long
legislature, it was closing three Of
it's four local stores Immediately and
was keeping the fourth open only
temporarily. A store in Baton
Rouge also will remain open for the
time being.
The New Orleans sewerage and
water board, whose control was
taken over by the state government
under another legislative act, was
informed by the federal public
works administration that $780,
900 loan and a 100000 grant for
remodeling work had been held up
indefinitely" The admilistra-
tons telegram said officials would
study the char &c in control before
acting.
KingfisS Is Elated
The federal government has dis
played marked antipathy for the
Long political machine. Federal ap-
pointive offices in the state have
been filled with anti-Long Demo-
Gratis.
The laws finally approved by
Longs legislature yesterday do not
become effective for twenty days.
Meanwhile, some of the states lead
ing attorneys will scrutinize them
on constitutional grounds and it
was believed probable that some, or
all, would be challenged in the
courts.
The Kingfish himself remained in
Baton Rouge, exulting in his tri-
umph. The forty-four laws passed
yesterday concentrated control of
all police and fire departments with
the state government, stripped the
New Orleans municipal government
of control of three other agencies
where old regular Democrats now
employed will be replaced by Long
Democrats. Many Of these employees
were planning to get right with
Huey' so they could keep their jobs.

Flying Down To
Rio Has Music By
Vincent Youmans

A radio broadcast favorite
comes into his own in the movies
in RKO-Radio Pictures musical
extravaganza, Flying Down to
Rio"
He is Vincent Youmans, whose
music. according to broadcast sta
tistics. rivals that of the late Vic
tor Herbert for popularity on the
air, and it is said that not one
day has passed since the inception
of air programs that his music
has not been heard by millions of
fans.
Youmans is the author of such
hits as "Tea for Two" 81 Want
to Be Happy" "Time on My
Hands," "Hallelujah," Sometimes
Pm Happy" and many others.
He is credited with every mel
ody in the film, including the
theme song, "Flying Down to
Rio," a booming, laundering
symphony of power inspired by
an airplane ride; emusic Makes
Me-" a popular novelty number,
and two new tangos. "Carioco,"
and "Orchids in the Moonlight"
The last two. played and sung by
both Brazilian and American jazz
orchestras in the production, are
hailed as the greatest dance hits
in many years.
Further distinction goes to the
composer because of the fact that
Flying Down to Rio" is the first
aerial music film ever made, eli.
making with a complete show
staged on the wings of giant
planes as they soar aloft over
beautiful Rio de Janeiro.

Will Rogers In
MIR. Skitch Opens
New 1884 Parade
Good Will Ambassador
! Coming To Carolina
Next Moday, Tuesday

Declaring it to be the most
poignant and human comedy he
has had to date, an enthused Will
Rogers will have the stellar part
in "Mr. Skitch," the new Fox pro-
duction to be seen at the Carolina
theatre. The story, by Ann Cam
eron. appeared in the Saturday
Evening Post several years ago
and is considered a classic of hu-
morous writing.
Elaborate plans were made to
make this film one of the most
pretentious comedies of the sea-
SON, and from advance reports the
film lives up to the expectations
of the producers. Rogers himself,
who is acknowledged Americas
greatest funster in all fields of ex-
preston, endorses "Mr. Skitch" as
the most amusing situation that it
has ever been his fortune to play
in.
In the film he is cast as the
heroically indolent head of fam
ily of six. Through a bank fail
ure he and his family are left
penniless and put out of their
home. He gathers up his voracious
brood, puts them in dilapidated
car and speeds westward, hoping
to secure a job in some other COM
munity. Extraordinary adventures
with petty gambling and the trials
and tribulations of migration from
one auto camp to another constl-
tute the comedy-with pathos ele-
ments of the story.
A considerable part Of the pic
ture was filmed on location, with
numerous auto camps and scenic
spots as settings. Some of the
splendors employed as the back
ground for the film are the spec

magazine.
For the tenth year the Ring sets
down the ratings of warriors in eight
divisions, a custom inaugurated by Tex
Rickard, carried on by Jack Dempsey,
and later undertaken by the magazine
with the aid of 104 experts.
Admitting a paucity of talent never
encountered before in the rankings, the
magazine still expresses the belief that
boxing is coming out Of the doldrums
and should stage revival in 1884. De-
preston, lack of outstanding perform
ers, little competition and the preva-
lence of foreign fighters committing
from their native lands, all contributed
to the failures of 1888, one of the worst
years in boxing history.
