Moss and Fontana and that sort.
Understanding this, Moore and
Revel, who know enough about dance
teams to pick out their obvious flaws
and recognize comic potentiaities,
adopted burlesque for their routine.
They present today the approximate

attempting to emulate a pair OF stage

with the revival Of gay go costumes,

They used dress Of the period in one
of their numbers few years ago in
England, again in Germany. Shortly
thereafter Cochran's Bitter Sweet"
a period piece, appeared in Britain,
and on their next tour to Germany
the Moore and Revel team saw much
frills and fancy lace in chorus dances.
Whether they did or did not affect
the revival, they still think the era

$50 CONWCTS RIOT

ROSARIO. Argentina, September
S.-Three hundred and fifty des-
perate, shouting convicts mysteriously
equipped with rifles, pistols, hand
grenades and dynamite rioted madly
here yesterday in an unavailing break
for freedom.
A convict was killed and another
gravely wounded before flying squads
of military police and firemen man
aged to quell the disorders with tear
gas and fire hose.
The riot started early this morning
when inmates of the first cell block
marched into the patio for morning
exercises.
A revolver shot furnished the signal,
and Immediately bedlam broke loose
as the bowling rioters fired other
shots and set of hand grenades.
The din set prisoners in other cell
blocks to shouting but the guards
organized their defenses and confined
the would-be jail-breakers to the first
cell block and the patio.
An investigation was Immediately
launched to determine how the prison.

Wherever the members OF Cne
great Girard clan spread their en-
terprises in cotton and its al
lied industries success and usu-
ally a marriage or two greeted
them. They had branches in Ger
many, in England, in France and, of
course, in New Orleans, where the
mighty American initiative origi-
mated. Sworn always to serve the
family above all else. they proflted
mutually from matrimony with
sundry magnates of spinning, dyeing
and other businesses, and continued
a close knit group, if you will pardon
the danger Of a pun.
AS the world stood still back in
1918, the various national branches
were collected in New Orleans. Al
though they lived in daily contact
with the pappas who were making so
much money. and the females who
were spending it, for some reason
none of the master minds, their
spouses or offspring seemed to have
heard the happy news. For at these
cheerful and pleasantly stated gath
erings it was the custom for some one
to rise and say, in effect, I'VE are
very rich. We made much money
last year. You, Gustav, are a Ger
man and your factory makes dyes.
You, Henri, are French and you have
some kind of mill or the other, which
also makes much money. You, Twit-
tington, represent the English branch
of the family, etc, ETC."
While this no doubt was very di-
verting for the Girards and associ-
ates, it is stupid stuff to an audience
and as idle a form of exposition as
the films have invented in many
moons. When the same thing hap
pens a second time toward the end
of the film one wants to go out and
get the tycoons few newspapers, so
they will be able to read about the
things they have been doing since
the last meeting.
This is but one of the loQuacious
weaknesses in film which, supposed
ly concerned with the moving on of
the world, seems unable ever to get
moving itself. Franchot Tone, as the
American scion in love with the Eng
lsh heiress, and Miss Madeleine Car
roll, the heroine, have little oppor-
tunity to redeem themselves or the
picture from the midst of its wars,
shipwrecks, bombings, panics and
what not. If you dote on mass drown
ing, noisy battles, shrieking stock
brokers and other such raucous spec
tacles, it may be perfectly satisfactory
to you if Mr.. Tone and Miss Carroll
abandon their vehicle to the director,
the extras and the prop man. Should
it interest you more to see these two
competent young people at work In a
coherent and human story, 1.-THE
World Moves On" will never be your
dish.

Boyd and Wallin open the bill with
a group of difficult slack wire novel;

small talk into the pink and shell-like

The most beguiling of these sage
juveniles Is one Stephen Locke, a
