JOAN CRAWFORD STAR OF RAIN"
 AT THE CAPITOL
Lovely Actress Has Great Emotional Role in Class
 ic of Stage and Screen

Rain" the Joan Crawford pie ture, which opened Sunday at the Capitol Theatre, marks what is claimed to be the greatest single advance in sound perfection since the advent of the talkies, this be- ing the first picture to be produced in Hollywood with the newly de- veloped wide-range recording sys- tenn, which insures a naturalness heretofore impossible of attain ment.
 The new system is the latest perfection to come from the lab oratories of Western Electric. In non-technical terms, it extends the frequency range of sounds that can be recorded upon film-the increase being from 5000 cycles to 8,000-and this results in an enor nous improvement in articulation and sound effects.
 In other words, the effect is much the same as that which would result if the musical scale were increased one octave.
 Chief advantages of the new system is in recording sound ef- fleets out of doors. Rain which Lewis Milestone made almost en- tirely on Catalina Isuand, wa. 
 therefore an ideal selection for it's debut Experts point out that the recording of falling rain, which is composed of many high frequen- cies, has in the past sounded toc much like escaping steam. Now they say, it will seem as natural tC audiences as if they were listening to it in real life.
 AS matter of fact, the improved recording extends over the entire picture. There is much finer production of voices, especially those of women, and the articu. lation of the entire cast is tho best yet produced in the talkies. Rain" a United Artists pic. ture, stars Joan Crawford, and has in it's principal supporting role! Walter Huston, William Gargan Matt Moore, Walter Caatlett, Guy Kibbee, Beulah Bondi, Kendall Let and several others.

4-STAR PLAY IS PLAYING AT
 THE COLISEUM
loan Blondell, Bette Davis, Ann Dvorak, Warren Will
 jam in Three on Match

It's a gala event in the enter tainment world when four stars of the calibre of Joan Blondell, War ren William, Ann Dvorak and Bette Davis can be seen in one picture, as is the case with Three on a Match" the First National pro- duction which opened at the Coli senm Theatre yesterday
 The story is distinctly off the beaten track; you may see score of motion pictures and not en- counter one that even remotely suggests Three On A Match. ' Developed with dramatic vigor and picturesque sidelights, the picture tells the story of three girls who started as classmates in the same public school and follows them through the varying events of their lives for ten years, as their paths cross and re-cross.
 Consider it as a study in the comparative power of heredity and environment, Ann Dvorak's delin- cation of Vivian Revere, the school beauty, daughter of well-to-do and cultured parents, seems to demon strate that there is as much to be said for inborn tendencies as for acquired modes of behavior.
 Joan Blondell, as Mary Keaton, the truant and terror of the pub lie school, whose only alma mater in the realm of higher education was the State Reformatory and who, nevertheless, wins on merit the distinguished attorney her school chum, Vivian, had cast dis dainfully aside, and marries him hard d-boiled, smart-cracking, Mary holds her environment at arms length with the utmos tease.
 Together with Bette Davis-in the role of the class valedictorian and honor pupil, who spends her life being conscientious, hard working Secretary-the three glrlS are as vivid and interesting char acters, strictly in the modern vein, as the motion picture screen has offered for many long day. Un- derlying the whole drama, is the human note of dissatisfaction on the part of each girl with her own position, that gives the story an added sense of reality. Vivian would gladly barter her life of lux ury and wealth for the bohemian freedom of Mary KeatonS' exis- tence; Mary thinks nothing would be more perfect than doting husband, town car and an open bank account, such as Vivian has. And Ruth, the stenographer, im- partially envies both of them.
 What happens to the lives of all three when Vivian's restlessness leads her to abandon both her hus- band and her home in an effort to find the freedom she longs for, constitutes the main burden of the picture.

A young woman of considerable charm as well as beauty, Miss Car roll impressed studio workers-who might have been expected some thing differently appearing on the set at 6:30 her first morning of work, just to be sure she would be ready, in costume and makeup, in time. In Hollywood they never start shooting" until nine.
 Hollywood represents anoth r step in career already securely established. It began several years ago when Madeleine, holding a Bachelor of Arts degree from Birmingham University (England decided on a stage career.

of flowers. The front of the salon
opened onto the park and on one side
of the room was q huge window
through which the Spanish girls would
invariably enter, their mantillas on
their heads. The orchestra always
arrived with their hats on and no
shoes. The hats remained on through
the evening. This it seems was in
respect to the hostess. They would
play their guitars until it was neces-
sary to send them away. Then they
would go to the back regions and play
for the maids to dance.
"I never dared leave the room dur
ing a dance" laughs Mrs. Sultan, ''be-
cause of the promises I made to the
girls mothers. And when it came
time for them to leave had to per-
sonally see that they got into cars
with their brothers, for no girl was
allowed to come unless attended by
her brother. Indeed in order that
Col. Sultan and did not have to
trail around with Devon to everything

plain to the mothers that we con-
sidered the young officers chaperons

back to st. Paul in an effort to save
his leg. There is q picture in Mrs.
Sultan's house which shows the lit
ter upon which he was carried for
40 days, through dry cactus land and
swampy marshes. That was in Au-
gust. The next June his whole troop
was wiped out in the horrible mas
sacre when Custer made his famous
last stand.
Those men were born for their
age" remarked Mrs. Sultan. Strong,
huge giants near enough to pioneer
blood to endure" Retired because
of his disabled leg, Lieut.. Braden re-
fused to be idle. Knowing that boys
were being sent to West Point who
were UNFIT in educational training to
enter, he started preparatory school,
beginning with seven boys in the
cadet barracks. This was the first
school of its kind in this country.
Mrs. Sultan's mother, Mrs. Braden,
who belonged to an old New York
family, possessed lovely voice, but
because of the conservatism of the
age she never was permitted to sing
professionally. She studied in Paris,
however, and had the great honor
of singing before the famous Jennie
Lind. Her voice was lost when one
cold, damp day she insisted in going
across the city to sing at the funeral
of one of the soldiers children.

ARMS EMBARGO
PROBE SHOWS
j. 8. DUPED
BY KINGSBURY SMITH
Copyright, 1884, by International
Neyya Service

Disclosure that European ma
tons left the United States vir-
tually holding the bag in the
Chaco arms embargo is contained
in confidential information gath
cred by investigators for the Sen
ate committee which is to open its
probe of the munitions industry
next week.
This was learned today as Sen
ate investigators completed plans
for what promises to be the great
est probe of the activities of NUM-
tons makers in this nations his
tory.
Shipments Continued
The information gathered by
the investigators shows European
nations, after using the League Of
Nations to urge this Government
to declare an embargo on ship
ment of arms and munitions to
Paraguay and Bolivia, continued
to ship war supplies to those ma
tons for more than a month after
the American embargo was pro-
claimed.
Italy is shown to have shipped
q large number of airplanes to
Paraguay after the United States
accepted the Leagues request to
cooperate by declaring an en-
barge.
Furthermore, France, Belgium,
Poland and other members of the
League of Nations included so
many reservations in their willing
ness to declare an embargo that
it made the latter practically
worthless as far as they were con.
Cerned.
Note From League
This Government received a
note from the League of Nations
on May 81 asking whether the
United States would be prepared
to cooperate in an international
move to cut off the flow of arms
to the belligerents.
This note from the League fol-
lowed assertions in the British
House Of Commons that American
refusal to cooperate was holding
up an international embargo.
The State Department replied in
the affirmative to the League note
and one week later President
Roosevelt proclaimed the embargo.
Then the European nations
showed an inclination to let the
matter drag. Britain, which had
sponsored the international en-
barge, was the only one to make
it effective. Although it did not
act until July 26, Britain made its
embargo retroactive to May 8.
