pcrilously back and forth while he
lops away the foliage and fastens a

while the latter stands on the ground

FROM CODE POSITION
California Standard Oil Co. Head
Acts Because of In.
dictment.
By the Associated Press.

Kenneth r. Kingsbury, president Of
the Standard Oil Co. of California and
one Of group recently indicted in
that State for an alleged violation of
the oil code. had resigned today from
the Planning and Co-ordinating Com
mittee representing the industry
under the code.
He took the action because of the
Indictment and it was accepted by
Oil Administrator Ickes after the
committee had declined unanimously
to accept the resignation. Ickes said
In a formal statement:
Il have accepted Mr.. Kingsbury's
resignation because Of his statement
that he feels that it is the only
course open to him as a result of the
indictment. I personally appreciated
the cooperation he has given to the
administration in our mutual efforts
with the industry to stabilize condi-
tions and promote economic recovery
1t had been reported last week that
the Standard officials resignation
would be asked because of the indict-
ment, but it was said on behalf of
Secretary 1ckes that no such a re-
quest had been made and that the
Secretary permitted him to resign
with great reluctance"
1t was added the Secretary con-
sidered Kingsbury had made every
effort to cooperate with the oil ad-
ministration in its efforts to stabilize
the industry.
Ickes opposed the indictment.

humor into any picture but himself
The year 1893 not only gave the
world a panic in Wall Street but it
also provided another but quite dif-

vile. New Yorks panic was over
money, Homeville'S over a balky horse
who could outrun anything on four
legs.
A lot depended on that balky horse
which had been entered in the county

in love with a young and. very pretty
rich girl had bet his all on him at
the advice of David Harum. And
when all seemed dark because Rogers
had lost heat in the race through
inability to be banker, singer and
horse trader at one time, and because
he had forgotten the song. the girl
came to the rescue and the horse

FILM REVUE
GeorgeWhite'sCon-
tributiOn Removes
AU Scandal.

With Rudy Vallee grooming, Cliff
Edwards yodelling and Jimmy Du-
rante singing love songs, patrons Of
the Fox Theater this week may expect
to be entertained and to be made
to laugh, but if said customers are
looking for a red hot reproduction on
the screen Of one Of George Whites
famous Scandals" shows, they are
going to be disappointed.
The Fox company has succeeded
very successfully in eliminating prac-
tically all Of the scandal from George
Whites Scandals" despite the
fact that George himself personally
directed and supervised the film, and
that he appears quite frequently in it.
There is, to be sure, much dancing.
much singing and much comedy, but
the usual risque features of a Broad
way Scandals" production are con-
scipuous by their absence.
To further extract the scandalness
from the Scandals" the movie YER

tion OF several thousand feet of film

girls known as the "MegIin Riddles. -
