DIR. CHAN GIVES
SPLENDID TALK
FOR CLUB GROUP

DR.. Y. W. Chan, Chinese consul
at Mexicali, was speaker of the day
at what members and guests of the
/ Ten Thousand clubs History sec
ton declared TO be one of the most
interesting meetings Of the year.
The meeting was held yesterday in
. the tea room of the club house,
Interest of the world today, the
speaker declared, centers in the
Pacific ocean, the center of inter
est changing with changing world
conditions.
Toda.< the Pacific shares inter-
est with the Atlantic, and the re-
cent flight of Amelia Earhart is but
a forerunner Of the air lines which
will be established in the future,
linking the western half of the
United States with the Occident.
The United States is particular
ly interested in the Pacific. with its
great naval base at Pearl Harbor,
Hawaii, and with the Philippines,
less well fortified. but Of strategic
Importance
DR.. Chan described a trip from
California to the Orient, to Ha-
waii, to Japan. naming and describ-
ing briefly the principal cities; to
China describing the old capital
Peiping, the center of China IS cul-
ture, and the Great Wall of China
near by.
Problems of the Pacific today in
clude: that of China whose rich
natural resources and unprotected
sea coast make her the aim of any
aggressive nation; the problem of
the future of the Philippines, when
the time arrives to turn the gov
ernment over to them.
Russia Checks Japan
Russia and Japan serve as
mutual check at present upon one
another's aggressive purposes in
the East, said DR.. Chan.
The United States today may
maintain a certain degree of isola-
ton provided that she also shows
the rest of the world that she is
able to take her place as guild
ing power should occasion arise.
Such suggestive actions as
the naval manoeuvreS in the Paci-
fic do much to show her strength
should she choose to exercise it.
With mass production this coun-
try, declared the speaker, needs a
market for her goods which can
not be consumed at home and for
this season can not remain isolated
from the rest of the world.
At the conclusion of his talk the
speaker was asked many questions
by the interested members and
guests
Mrs. A. c. Finney and Mrs. Amy
Miller, hostesses for the afternoon,
served delicious refreshments, Mrs.
w. w Apple and Mrs. P E. Ryer-
son pouring. Mrs. Dan Scott pre-
sided at the meeting.
In view Of the general interest in
the program the members had in
vited a large number of guests to
enjoy the program with them.

LYRIC

Babes In Toyland," a new fea- ture-length comedy starring Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, heads the double feature program at Lyric theater Sunday and Monday. "The combination of Laurel and Hardy's rollicking comedy with Victor Her bert's pulsating music, added to gorgeously fantastic sets and su- perb singing, makes q picture that can be enjoyed by anybody, young or old, rich or poor, Indian chief or candlestick maker.
 In this feature, Laurel and Hardy again don costumes that differ from their orthodox baggy suits and derbies. They arc two apprentice toymakers, who in their sincere but wild attempts to get the Widow Peep. who lived in "The Shoe," and her daughter, Bo-Peep, out of the clutches of Toyland's s villain, Barnaby, involve them- selves in series of hilarious events that at times turns the 0p- eretta into a screandingly funny comedy.
 Adroit direction, beAutiful sing ing, clever acting and stirring music, in additionr to the comedy, makes this one of the outstanding films of the year.
 The co-feature is "Helldorado" with Richard Arlen, Madge Evans and Ralph Bellmay. "Helldorado" is the story of q group of eleven stranded strangers, cut of from the world by cloudburst and flood, who find adventure and romance In en abandoned Calofornia ghost town.

 The locale is socialite Park Ave- 1iue, which has given the art direc- tors an opportunity to create some of the most beautiful settings ever seen on the motion picture screen. These settings seem likely to have the same effect on interior decorat- ing that the picture When Ladies Meet" had several years ago.
 As a light comedienne, left standing at the altar one minute and pursued by two handsome mon the next, Joan Crawford is at her best. This is the first time Joan has attempted pure comedy and she turns in brilliant job.
 Gable and Montgomery are both we'll known as masters of light comedy and they vie to outdo one another with the many hilarious situations of the story.
 The triumvirate of Crawford Cable Montgomery is perfectly cast in the new comedy which has
