Edward Robinson
Star Of Mystery
Film at Earle

In "The Dark Tower" George S.
Kaufman and Alexander Woollcott
wrote a mystery play with much
higher average of entertainment,
and intelligence than you usually
find in thriller tales. The pro-
ducers of the drama on the screen
| MessrS. Warner, have not tamper-
ed flagrantly with the plot, other
than changing the name to THE
Man With Two Faces"
AS unreeled at the Earle yester.
day. the picture demonstrated two
things: One, say all you like
about Edward G. Robinson'S looks,
he still remains one Of the most
versatile of screen players. Sec
ond, producers are at last realiz.
ing that expert acting is necessary
in even the smallest roles to lend
finish to a movie.
Murder Mystery
The plot concerns an actress
making a comeback" on the stage,
when her supposedly dead hus'
band returns. He Yields an un'
healthy influence over her, makes
her yield to his every wish. At the
height of his obnoxious reign, he is
murdered. The crime is a perfect
one except for one small item. AT
the end, the murderer is waiting
trial with hopes of penance.
To tell any more of the theme
would spoil the cleverness with
which it has been concocted.
However, the events leading up to
the crime are far more important
than it's solution, for it is in the
beginning that the Woollcott-Kauf'
man ingenuity is fully demon
Strated.
Edward G. Robinson carries a
major part of the honors, al
though you don't realize it till the
end. Mary Aston, who has always
been dependable, proves to be bet
ter than that in her characterize
ton of the unfortunate heroine
Ricardo Cortez plays her lover
and Louis Calhern makes a won,
derfully despicable husband.
"The Man With Two Faces
can be recommended not only as
satisfying fare for the muir ler-
story clientele, but also for unusu-
ally good acting Well-told story
and tight-knit action.
COllegians on Stage
On the stage this week, the Cali
fornia Collegians are the head
liners. These seven goofy guys

ditions of "Tattooed Lady, and
athletes of the Nineties." Going

most winning out on the applause

CHILD LABOR LAW
ASSAILED BY REED
Tells Radio Audience Proposal Is
Designed to Usurp Rights
of Parents.
BY the Associated Press.

Charging the proposed child labor
amendment TO the Constitution is
designed to substitute for the author
ity of the parent the authority of Con-
gress" former Senator James A. Reed
of Missouri said in radio address
last night the proposition comes to
us under false title"
THE ordinary and casual reader
the Missourian said, would under
stand that it is proposition intended
to protect children of tender years
against being thrust into Sweat-Shops
and into unhealthful places to work
for a livelihood, but that is far from
the real purpose and the real language
of the amendment.
Let me read it to you: Section /
Congress shall have power to limit,
regulate and prohibit the labor of per-
sons under 18 years of age
Adopt that amendment and the
Congress of the United States will
have power not only to regulate the
labor of children, but the labor of
young men and young women up to
the very day when they become l8
years of age 1t is revolutionary; 1t
strikes at the home, is inimical
to the discipline of the family;
1t substitutes for the discipline of
the home and for the rights Of par
ents the ipse dixit' of a congress. y .
Moreover the language is so broad
that Congress would have the power
to regulate and to control the educa-
ton of children, for the education Of
children comes within the language Of
limiting and regulating the labor of
the child"

Brittin had elected to serve his
sentence against the advice of his
attorney because, as he said. he was
too broke" to undertake the court
fight. He has resigned all of his air
line connections and is now looking
for a job. He said today that he
did not know whether he would stay
in Washington or leave. He appeared
quite calm and undisturbed at the
prospect of having to start his life
over at 81.
Technically, he was a free man at
midnight last night, but the routine
followed In his case required that he
leave with one of the groups Of dis
charged prisoners, the first Of which
normally gets out at about $50 in
the morning.
Mr.. Rives explained that the only
departure from routine in the han
ding Of Brittin's stay in Jail was
that the Senate sergeant at arms,
Chesley w. Jurney, brought the
prisoner in the front door, while other
prisoners come in the back door.
i certainly wasn't going to say to
Mr.. Jurney Go away and come in
the back door" said Rives. "Other-

has received no preferential treat

Like Condemned"
Although Expelled From
u. S. She Declares
Lore for Country.

Emma Goldman came to Washing
ton last night, still stoutly maintain
ing the anarchism and paciflsm which
caused her expulsion from this coun-
try Is years ago. and just as proudly
and steadfastly asserting her love Tor
America, the land of her adoption.
Shortly after her arrival she called
in the press to help advertise her
lecture tomorrow afternoon at the
National T'heater.
She sat in parlor OF the La
Fayette Hotel, peering out through
heavy lenses at the circle OF reporters
about her, answering a rapid-flre
barrage Of questions.
Twenty.three Of the ninty days
allowed her in the United States
under President Roosevelt's amnesty
had passed. The committee which
sponsored her lecture tour Is trying
to get her an extension.
Feels Condemned.
IT feel like condemned man
awaiting execution and hoping for
reprieve," she said.
She finds America little changed.
although she admits the condition OF
the workers is slightly better. She
still would abolish all government.
Il believe the old saying that the
only good Indian is dead Indian
applies to governments, this Govern
ment equally with those in other
lands"
A questioner asked why she re-
turned to America if she felt that
way about it.
Her figure, little bent under the
weight of her GA years, Strengthened
proudly as she retorted: Why did l
return here? I came back because l
belong here; I have right here; l
am an American. The accident OF
birth has nothing to do with national

YOU have contributed to its culture

she says, will come liberty for the
masses.
Il know of no fundamental change"
she asserted, which can be accom-
plished with kid gloves"
War is wrong. she said, because it
accomplishes nothing constructive, but
revolution, even violent revolution. is
another matter.
Rather reluctantly, she admitted
President Roosevelt has done more for
the workers than any other President.
He is the first President who has rec
ognized the right Of the masses to
organize, bargain collectively and
strike she declared.
Asked If she would try to see Presi-
dent Roosevelt and thank him for
permitting her to enter the United
States, she flared: Why should 1
thank him? He ought to have made
this gesture of undoing wrong"
Neither will she 60 to the Capitol
