Fields Is Full-Fledged
Star in Farce-COmedy

w. c. Fields, Paramounts unbeliev-
ably funny comedian, is back as q
full-fledged star in You're Telling
Me" which opens tomorrow at the
Paramount theater. It Is fast-mov-
ing, frolicsome comedy drama and
features Larry Buster" Crabbe. Joan
Marsh and Adrienne Ames. It was
directed by Erie Kenton.
Fields, recently seen in Para
mounts six of Kind" In which
he shared honors with all OF the
comedians at the Paramount STU
dios, proves he can hold his own in
this picture, which depends for its
laughs not only upon gags, but upon
extremely funny character acting
and some laugh-packed situations
which started laugh-riot among
yesterdays audiences.
Enacting the role of an eccentric
inventor. Fields spends all his spare
time on the coolest inventions Of the
year, only sets out to sell one and
win success when family crisis
forces him to work, something he has
been avoiding all his life.
The towns Wealthiest boy wants to
marry Fields daughter, but when
the socially eminent mother gets one
look at Fields, the match is turned
down. Fields sets out to overcome
her prejudice by selling an invention,
making pile. entering society and
winning her consent to the marriage
which means SO much to his daugh-
ter's happiness.
From that point on the film,
abounds with laughs, eliminating
| with Fields burlesque golf act that
is one Of the funniest, most laugh
compelling bits Of nonsense ever
seen In the films.
The picture is from the screen play
by Walter de Leon and Paul M. Jones
with dialog by ]. p. McEvoy. one OF
the foremost American humorists.
Larry Crabbe and Joan Marsh do
excellently with the romantic leads
while Adrienne Ames, in q sirenesque
role opposite Fields, turns IN q grand
performance.

AT THE MOVIES
Son Of Kong Differs
From It's Predecessor

"Son Of Kong" RKO-Radio Pic
lures sequel to the epic fantasy king
Kong, is an entirely different yarn
than its startling predecessor, accord
ing to word from Hollywood following
q recent preview.
This film is being featured at the
Capitol Theatre tonight and Friday.
The theme of the story tends to ro-
nance with adventure, rather than
toward unmitigated terrors, which, in
'King Kong" reached high peak
in the gigantic ape going to his doom
because of his pursuit OF beautiful
woman. Son of Kong" offspring Of
this monster, proves to have startling
instincts Of gratitude and chivalry.
In "Son of Kong" the hero, Den
ham, hearing of chest Of diamonds,
supposedly buried in an ancient tenn
pie on Skull Island, leads new ex-
petition to that lost land and its pre-
historic monsters, accompanied by
q small crew and girl, who, falling
in love with him, has struggled her
self aboard ship.
Fearing the horrible fate Of Den
hams former crew, the sailors n1u-
tiny and flee with the ship, leaving
Denham, the girl, and three others
stranded.
The party Is attacked by natives
and forced to seek new landing
place. There Denham finds the Son
Of Kong trapped in quicksand
Against the advice Of his companions
Denham assists the creature to es-
cape.
The younger Kong proves q totally
different personality than his ire
mendous forbear. and to the aston
ishment Of the entire group Of ad-
venturers. appoints himself as . per-
sonal bodyguard for Denham and
Denham's sweetheart.
The strange spectacle Of this oddly
assorted band, the ape towering
above his companions as they dare
death Ia search Of treasure, is said
TO provide even greater thrills than
the original story.
Robert Armstrong, the original Den
ham. again heads the cast while Frank
Reicher appears again as Captain
EngeIhorn. Winsome Helen Mack i
the girl ii this fantastic expedition
and John Marston. Clarence Wilson
Victor Wong aid Lee Kohlmar play
other roles.

Consumer manufacture" is the

City Doctors Strive for Cure of
Leukemia, Dread Corpuscle Malady

The first big question the ply
sicians-and their laboratory as
sistants and technicianS-want to
determine is whether the cause
of leukemia is something gener-
ated in the body which destroys
the bone marrow, where the
necessary red corpuscles are gen.
Grated. or whether it Is a primary
disease of the marrow itself.
Once they know this, they will
know how to try to fight it. Now,
they watch food, drink, living
conditions. They are Handicapped
in that man is the only animal to
suffer from leukemia, making ex-
pertinent on Others impossible.
The disease hits the male and
female impartially, and most of
its victims are more than 20.
Such results as city hospital
physicians have obtained have
been broadcast to the medical
world in a number of papers con-
tributed over the last two or three
years from the hospital to medical
journals.

Bar Is Jake
His Britannia MajeSty'S
Agent Finds Factor
In Is Out.
By United Press

By CnlLeQ PTeSS
CHICAGO, May 18.-Just a
~ friendly little party down in
Aurora, Ill, today became the
concern of the state department,
the British ambassador, the fed
eral district court, the sheriff of
De Kalb county, and-last, but
most poignantly-John Factor.
John, who was Jake the Bar
Der" before he became a million
aire, is supposed to be in jail
twenty-four hours a day at Syca-
more, Ill, because he is accused Of
taking 100000 from British in
veStorS unlawfully.
1t was somewhat more than
consternating, therefore, when the
British crown attorney here,
Franklin R. Overmyer, announced
that he had evidence that Factor
and his supposed jailer, Sheriff
Isaac George, were seen Wednes-
day night in an Aurora hotel, So
cially drinking with two attrac-
tive young women.
Mr.. Overmyer said he had wired
his information to Sir Ronald
Lindsay, British ambassador at
Washington.
CHERIFF GEORGE was proli-
~ f1c in denials that he had
gone to Aurora, that Factor had
gone to Aurora or that-so far as
he knew-tWo young women had
gone to Aurora. Factor pointed
out emotionally that he wouldn't
think of doing anything to make
the state department mad, that he
had meticulously avoided noe
turnaI journeys since his testi-
mony sent four Touhy gangsters
to the penitentiary for kidnapping,
and that he is happily married
man, anyway.
THE sheriff is nice man." said
Factor, "but he wouldn't do that
and I wouldn't either"
Mr.. Overmyer said, however,
that more than a dozen Aurora
residents saw the promoter and
the sheriff in the barroom of a
hotel and that several even shook
hands with Factor.
United States Commissioner Ed
win K. Walker, on whose order
Factor was sent to Jail pending
extradition to England, doubted
whether anything could be done
even if the party were proved.
He pointed out that the mitti-
mus placed the prisoner "in the
custody of the sheriff" and theo-
rized that a broad Interpretation
of law might permit his removal
from Jail if the sheriff accom-
panied him.
Mr.. Overmyer said, however,
that he would seek state depart
nent action.
