AT THE MOVIES
Theater-GOers Still
Laughing at Comedy

Love Birds" is the funniest picture
IN which Slim Summerville and Zazu
Pitts have ever appeared together. It
opened an engagement at the Capitol
theatre yesterday, and the first audi
ence Is probably laughing yet. The
tricky story is SO filled with hilarious
situations, and witty dialogue, and
tho stars enter into the spirit Of the
thing with such will that the result
is nothing less than . sure cure for
the blues.
Imagine these two worthless. who
detest the sight Of each other. discov-
ering that they have both bought the
same ranch In California! And imag-
Inc their CONSERVATION when they dis
cover that they are stranded on the
property In the centre Of great sandy
desert, miles off the travelled roads
and with neither wafer nor another
dwelling IN sight! How . blow to
Summerville's jaw brings about 9
gold rush Of wtld-eyed prospectors tc
the very ranch IN which both have
sunk their savings Is only one Of thu
uproariously funny incidents IN thu
story. And the desert setting II
which much Of the story takes plac,
furnishes . background Of real Charm
and beauty, something rare in com
e6ies.
william A. Setter in Love Birds
has turned out comedy gem.

A Commendable Decision.

The decision of the Commissioners
to select inspectors for the Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board from the reg
listers Of the Civil Service Commission,
in conformity with the rules and reg
ulations previously agreed to by the
Commissioners and the Civil Service
Commission. is gratifying to all those
who believe In the merit system as the
most eficacious in promoting efficiency
in government. The Commissioners,
it is believed, will have no cause to
regret their decision, which assumes
added significance because Of the tre-
mendous pressure that has been
brought to bear upon them to make
political spoils Of newly created jobs.
Those who have the best interests
Of the Municipal Government at heart
will seek constant extension Of the
merit system in the selection of its
personnel and will exercise every rea-
sonable effort to prevent its weaken
ing. For those positions which are
not usually covered by the merit sys-
tenn the effort should be to select
from usually large field of qualified
applicants those who by residence
and interest have identified themselves
with the local community. AS far as
the Commissioners themselves are
concerned. this seems to have been
their desire.

Sankey's Suicide.

When a man kills himself in his
cell, rather than stand trial for his
crime. this thought occurs: Is justice
defeated or Is justice aided? The
State Is saved the cost and trouble Of
trying the man. and yet the full truth
Of the case may be blocked. Verne
sankey. kidnaper and gangster. Of
whose guilt there seems to have been
no doubt, acted as his own Judge and
executioner. He had professed his
willingness to plead guilty, taking upon
himself the blame for the abduction
Of two men and absolving his wife,
who is in custody, from all completely
in the deed.
A closer watch. surer precaution
against self-destruction, would have
prevented this act and perhaps the full
circumstances Of the kidnapping would
have been disclosed at the trial. But
after all, the directing mind Of the
crime Is now gone and this may be
rated Is punishment. sankey defied
the law and is dead. In the light Of
the failure Of the jury to convict the
kidnapers Of "Jake the Barber" in
Chicago recently there may be some
reinsurance in the suicide. The spec
tacle Of long trial without result is
not altogether satisfactory.

industry in the Saito government, has
just been dismissed from office for
condoning an act of disloyalty which
occurred exactly 597 years ago.
In 1924 the baron, then merely q
prominent business man, wrote an
article praising the Shotgun Takauji
Ashikaga, who in 1887, A. D., de-
throned Emperor Godiago and en-
throned his own candidate. As a re-
suit the name Of Ashikaga Is reviled
as one of the blackest in Japanese
history-the perpetrator of an unfor-
givable crime against the throne.
Generations of japanese have been
reared to compare Ashikaga to noto-
rious traitors in other lands-doubt-
less to Benedict Arnold in Revolu-
tionary America, among others. Baron
Nakajima likened him to Oliver
Cromwell of England, and for that
act of treason" to Japanese imperial
honor has now lost his official head.
The baron's political enemies re-
Gently republished the discriminating
article. He apologized to both houses
of Parliament, avowing that his ideas
had changed since he wrote the orig
inal piece a decade ago. But repent
ance came too late. His offense was
branded as unforgivable and his use
fulness to the government was de-
stroyed. He had to go.
They take their ancient dynasty,
and all and sundry Herewith ssso-
ciated, seriously In Japan. It is Q
species of brassworks, 50 to speak,
that it is dangerous to monkey with,
even retroactively. and even if the
dastardly deed in question was mat
ter of six centuries ago.
