One of the screens finest char
acter actors, in fact one Of the
contemporary theater's most eX-
pert mines, Walter Connolly, Is
featured in the new RKO-Keith
picture which opened yesterday.
Whom the Gods Destroy" has
the advantage of not only being
brilliantly acted but of being spot
lessly clean, the latter quality
meriting comment since Holly
wood is currently under fire for
being too sex-consciouS.
There is probably one quality
that checks Whom the Gods
Destroy" from listing with the
occasional greats" that issue
from the studios from time to
time. The story lacks that quality
of conviction which one associates
with reality.
Walter Connolly plays a great
theatrical producer who is on his
way to Europe to present his
latest production. In mid-ocean
his liner strikes derelict and
sinks, but before the craft goes to
the bottom the magnate con-
trives to disguise himself in wonn-
ans clothing and reach shore in
a lifeboat.
Tormented by his act of cow
ardice and aware that the stories
of the disaster have made him
hero, the producer prefers self
effacement and obscurity rather
than to let the truth become
known. His family reverences his
memory and his name while be
becomes a tattered failure and
a hanger-on in the theater. This
anonymity enables him to help
his young son to fame as a play
wright and still remain but a
memory in the world which once
acclaimed him.
For complete enjoyment of this
picture you must believe that

James Cagney is open to Sug-

Frank McHugh reads a law case

Sleuthing notes: Seeing as how
the Fox studio has been receiving
quantities of mail with the
inquiries, "is Elsie Ferguson dead,
in this country or where is she?"
the writer's will be charmed to
know that Miss Ferguson, never
more beautiful has been in daily
huddles with Producer Jesse

opera, 'The White Parade"

Walter Connolly does an excel

many of the Emil Jannings roles,

The news comes that Manager
Meakin agrees with the idea. He
has scheduled "Cimarron" for a
revival engagement beginning
next Wednesday.
Since it was first shown "Cim-
arron" was adjudged the best
picture of 1881 by more than 800
motion picture critics. It won
Photoplay's gold medal and rolled
up a box office gross in impos-
ing seven figures.
"Cimarron" brought back Rich
ard Dix when he was about to
toboggan into the also-ran val
ley. "Cimarron" made Irene
Dunno. It also elevated Edna
Mae Oliver to tuI1 stardom, gave
George Stone as Solomon Levy
his supreme role. A great Edna
Ferber story founded on the his
torical lore of the West, full of
excitement and dramatic action
with a strange and appealing love
story.
told Hardie Meakin "Cimar-
ron" would probably get more
money for R-K-O than some of
the weak 1884 output that has
first lien on the current screen.
If you think I'm right help me
be a true prophet by giving
"Cimarron" another look.
Fox HopefuIs
It was hot, sweltering in the
Press Club Auditorium last night.
Even the ice water pitchers were
sweating but for close to four
hours, a continuous parade of
talent in the bud had its innings.
Poker-face Gene Ford called
out the names of the acts who
aspire to be in the Fox local
revue and they came forward,
passed their music to Mistress of
the Keyboard Evelyn Tyner, then
stepped out on the bare bijou
stage to strut their stuff.
Crooners and hooters, Recita-
tionists. A male toe dancer.
(WhoopS). A magician. Comedy
sketches. A washtub band from
Seventh Street that had Harlem
in its soul and rhythm in its
blare and noise. Sweet singers
and hot. Harmonizers and en-
bryo TibbettS.
I watched 'em for more than
two hours. Washington has an
abundance Of youthful entertain
ers, most of them lacking the
polish of the professional but all
eager, ambitious and enthusiastic
to win a place.
You can't tell by watching
Gene Ford what he likes. Divi-
sion Manager Carter Barron is
also adept at concealing his emo
tions. This much they admit:
the talent which turned out last
night was some miles ahead of all
previous additions. There is an
abundance to make a crackerjack
show for the Fox stage the week
OF August 10, when properly
trained.
To-day more will get their oppor-
tunity for the end Of the eligible

tired judges called a halt around

acute, according to County Agent
Henry O. Putnam.
G. II. Griffin, assistant state lead
er in the grasshopper fight. was in
Bismarck Wednesday checking over
the distribution Of the poison bait
He said that in many counties
throughout North Dakota the pests
are moving into the fields from their
Matching places with greater rapidity
than formerly because Of the thin
stands Of grain.
Warning the farmers to be on the
alert. he pointed out that the time to
do the killing Is in the beds before
the 'hoppers get into the fields.
Spreading Of the bait has been held
up in this county because Of the cold
weather. The grasshoppers do not
feed until the temperature gets
around ninety. Putnam urged the
farmers to be careful to spread the
bait correctly in flakes over the areas
infected to prevent the killing OF game
birds.
The poison may be obtained at
Wing. Bismarck, Baldwin, Wilton,

Cars will be shipped later to Regain
