Scientific Film
Shown Here

The work Of DR.. Locke, the
miracle man of Canada, is shown
in an interesting short motion
picture previewed last night at
the Willard Hotel.
Thousands Of persons flock
each year to be treated by the
doctor, who, through his manipu-
lation Of the feet has effected
wonderful cures.
The picture shows the doctor
on his farm and then in his
unique outdoor treatment place
where the afflicted come.
He is shown seated in a re-
volving chair, giving deft touches
to the feet of the patients.
A practicing physician, many
years ago he evolved the theory
that the feet are the cause of
much illness, and this has been
born out by his many cures.
The picture is now on view to
the public at Hecht's store.

soon convinced him that Little
Women" revived every holiday
season by Producer William A.
Brady with a good cast, attracts
only matinee audiences, mostly
girl students. Against that is the
fact that Little Women" the pic
ture, will be 1934's greatest finan.
cial success.
A single performance of 1bsen's
play, peer Gynt," attracted the
biggest audience in the history OF
the Belasco Theater. Yet any
Broadway manager will tell you
there are not enough students Of
Ibsen in the United States to
make road tour of "Peer Gynt"
a profitable venture. It is too
arty for the masses.
Like Some Art
Every now and then Booker
Guy Wonders challenges me to
go to New York and book a five
act vaudeville show from available
talent and find out how easy 1t
is to make mistakes. I have never
taken him up because I know how
futile it is to try and discover five
Will Mahoneys.
At that I don't think I would
stumble over the art hurdle. I
have seen too many Of them fail
including Roxy and his Radio
City dreams. My programs would
probably have too many Ray Boil
gers, Jimmy Savos and Cardinis.
And no EScuderoS or Wigmans.
This essay will not, I hope, be
mistaken as a round robin against
the artistic on the movie stages.
For instance I would approve,
and I think F Street would, an
other personal appearance by
Miss Grace Moore. Yet some
months ago in New York my
opinion was sought as to whether
Grace Moore would appeal to Fox
Theater audiences. In the mean
time she made lone Night of
Love-" There is no longer, it
seems, any doubt about the Moore
art. Even in the movie houses.
