To Investigate
AUiator's Death

ALTOONA, Pa, April g. W.P)-
Army officers from Langley field,
Va, were enroute here today for
a formal inquiry into the death of
1t. John Leland McAllister, 26,
killed on the second anniversary of
his solo flight when he attempted
10 bail out" of his plane.
Lit. McAllister, flying from Lang
ley to Cleveland to take up his air
mail flying duties, was attempting
to gain altitude over the Allegheny
mountains late yesterday. Mists
hampered flying and made landing
difficult. The young officer jumped,
apparently when he realized the
plane would not rise sufficiently,
but he was too near the ground
and his parachute failed to open.

can imagine how delighted and
surprised they were to see live
fish swimming in a bowl of water
"But wait until you see some
thing else" said Nurse Jane. She
winked one eye at Uncle Wiggily
and he whispered:
ely, fish"
Up rose the fish out of the bowl
and around the room it went fly
ing just like a bird.
"Oh, Unkie Wig!" shouted Baby
Bunty. And all the other rabbit
boys and girls were so surprised to
see a flying fish that they didn U

STATE

A pleasant treat is in store for patrons of Warner Brothers State theater all next week, starting Saturday, for Collin Driggs, Wiz ard Of The Organ. and radio star of WTIC has been engaged to make a personal appearance. Col lin is one of the most popular or ganists on the air today and is heard weekly in programs sent over WTIC from the Warner the- ater in Manchester, Conn. He will present three concerts daily at the console of the golden-tone Wurlit- ger which is reputed to be the finest theater organ in New Eng land.
 The current feature picture at the State is Little Man, What Now, starring Margaret Sulla- van who scared to stardom in "Only Yesterday. It is the story of the improvidence of youth and the struggle of a young married couple against dire poverty. The story was one of the most popular of the year. Douglas Montgomery plays opposite Miss Sullavan. The surrounding program in- cludes Abe Lyman and band in Tin Hat Harmony, Popeye The Sailor cartoon "The Man On The Flying TrapeZe", Grantland Rice Spotlight Animal Antics, Screen Souvenirs" and latest world news events.

GARDEN

"All Men Are Enemies. which opened yesterday at the Garden theater, has been fashioned into a tender, moving and sensitive pie ture by Director George Fitzmau- rice. Helen Twelvetrees and Hugh Williams bring the lovers of the novel to the screen as living, breathing beings. It is an exquisite romance that captures the spirit of Richard Aldington's best seller.
 Completing the triangle is Mona Barrie, who gives a splendid per- formance as the villainness. Her bert Mundin anl Una O'Connor supply the comedy. Henry Steph- enson, Walter Byron, Matt Moore, Hailiwell Hobbes, Rafaela Ottiano and Mathilde Comina are excellent in supporting character roles.
 'All Men Are Enemies" is the idyllic love story of an English boy and a Viennese girl, seeking the fulfillment of their romance amid the languorous beauties Of the war, which intervenes in a brief episide, the two search for

PALACE

The throngs at Polls Saturday and Sunday attested to the popu- larity of this playhouse and rapidly all this territory is awakening to the fact that always you will get the biggest amusement value any where around at this popular the ater.
 The current program is made up af a great stage attraction, Johnny Marvin "The Lonesome Singer Of The Air, in person with his brother Frankie and Gloria Price and thunderous waves of applause greet the efforts of this favorite and it can be readily seen how he was the recipient of the greatest amount of fan-mail of any per former of the NEG Broadcasting company. Waterbury is taking him to their heart as they have never before taken any stage performer. You will be able to see this great attraction today at $40, 6:30 and 9:25 and at the same times tomor- row which will be the last day of their engagement.
 The screen part of the program has not been forgotten, Shirley Temple, the biggest little star Of the talkies is seen in her latest triumph wBaby Take a Bow" and with her in the cast are Americas Sweethearts, the couple that best represent the youngsters of this country in love, scrapping, fight ing and loving, James Dunn and Claire Trevor.
 Selected short subjects the pick of the entire picture field are also part of this gigantic program.
 Starting Wednesday and con tinuing through until Friday an- other massive show will be pre- sented consisting of a double fea- ture program on the screen, w. c. Fields and Baby Le Roy, in the most hilarious comedy ever filmed and Charlie Chan in the person of Warner Gland will be the second feature, another thriller of the usual Chan kind only more mysteriols, chilly and thrilly. As special attraction, on the stage, there will be presented the largest cast of Waterbury juveniles ever, in a musical melange of sing ing, dancing and music. The fu- ture stars of tomorrow, maybe the children of your next door neigh bor, will be the feature players in this the Universal Juvenile Revue, entertainment awaits you in this attraction and we defy any theater anywhere to present greater show than this mid-week change of pro- gram, and if it were possible a much higher admission would be chargd.

 Hollywood. July 9--Many of the pictures on the theme of un- love and multiple mat rimony might we'll be justified on the ground that these are real problems of life, and that the movies as vital art must deal with them.
 But it is harder to find de- fense for the class of picture which offers nothing but parade of semi nudity, or a stream of off-color wisecracks. And the in- crease in the dirt-for- -dirt's-sake type of movie of late was one Of the reasons for the avalanche of public disapprovaI which fell on the movies recently.
 Mae Vests excursion into the movie realm from Broadway of- fers a pretty good example of the progression. Famed for her New York characterization of "Dia- mond Lil,' Mae West came to the movies. The result was "She Done Him Wrong" picture which, though low in tone, was so we'll done and contained such excellent characterization that 1t not only drew few objections, but created a sort of vogue.
 MORE AND MORE LIBERTY
 But what followed? I'm No Angel' was a picture of far less artistic merit, and one designed obviously to cash in' on the Mae West vogue. It was rougher, cruder, and with far less real merit.
 Then came the announcement of "It Amt No Sin," not yet re-
