Mr.. Walgreen read to the commit
tee carefully prepared summary of
evidence on which he based his
charges that Communism is being
taught at the University of Chicago,
long famous as a seat of liberal
thinking and from the faculty Of
which the New Deal has drawn
members of the brain trust"
He based his charges upon stories
brought home to him by his niece,
Lucille Norton. who came to Chi
cago from Seattle Wash, to live
with her wealthy uncle and attend
the University of Chicago. Mr.. Wal

Two Reasons He Says
Mr.. Walgreen testified that his
niece admitted learning more about
Communism and MARKHAM theories
than about the foundations Of
American government.
Senator James J. Barbour asked
what prompted Mr. Walgreen to re-
move Miss Norton from the univer-
sity.
There wefr two reasons" the
druggist said. Il knew that neither
her early training nor education nor
contacts outside the university could
be responsible for her dangerous
views. Also, had become aware of
the fact that the university had
established subtle and insidious
methods OF insulling Communistic
views in the minds of-young people.

adventuresome women packs both
barrels full of excitement. while put

offers Jean Harlow her best bets as
a fast-cracking adventurist, Mr.. Ga

Above all, the film is fast and fu-

well to a hectic climax, in which
Malay bandits terrorize the passengers
of Capt. Cables Hongkong- to- Singa-

attempt to locate the gold, secretly
stored in several steam rollers which
break loose in a storm to flatten sew

1t is but incidental that tons Of
water pour in and over the vessel

washed overheard, that Mr.. Gable as
captain finds time to do everything
but what sea skipper would, that
the storm scenes are badly faxed, and
that Miss Harlow, as a low-brow en-
tertainer, has more of a wardrobe than
a dozen 1929 debutantes.

old Darrow," said one, "a-sitting n
the chimney of his house, singing
something unholy."
The group gathered closer for mu-
tual protection-all but spinster Het-
tie, who merely smiled and went on,
stitch, stitch.
Il opine you was dreamin'," she
said, not looking up.
Quite naturally the other was net
tied.
EFF you don't believe in ghosts" she
countered, maybe you'd have nerve
to walk over to Darrow's old place
night now?"
IT WAS 10 O'Clock then, and dark.
Darrow's tumbled mansion was a
good mile away. and there are no
street lights IN Mason. But at least
Hettie had the courage of her con-
victions-and probably liked to show
off, too.
I'll do that" she agreed. Although
land knows It's foolish for any one to
take dare"
And how'll you prove you been
there?" asked the other.
1t was agreed that Hettie should
take table fork from the Widow Mel
sons cupboard and stick it into the
ground by Darrow's front porch. The
women would wait till she returned
and at daylight see if the fork were
there.
Hettie left, and the women waited.
She should have returned in half an
hour; an hour passed. They all
screwed up their courage and set out
to find her. Something more ominous
than a ghost might have Hettie in
thrall, they feared
They saw her body from the road.
The moon, through the swayiug
branches of q long-leafed pine, di-
rected single broad shaft upon her
where she lay, lifeless, as they dis
covered, her face twisted in terror.
Cynics talk about Hettie now, too.
They will tell you she had heart fail
ure when the fork, which she hurried
ly stuck into the ground, went through
the hem of her long skirt and i'm
paled 1t. They will tell you that her
fright at the pun On her dress when
she turned to leave was too much for
her overwrought imagination.
But the townsfolk merely wink an
eye and cast fearful glances at the
ramshackle old building, with its door
which still bears mute testimony of
the DEVILS call
They will tell how, on dark nights,
old Darrow's maniac laughter out
howls the wind that swoops down from
the hogback where the valley ends.
And on stormy midnights, when light
ming traces jagged fingers of fire
across the sky, they say, the Old Boy
himself sometimes returns to see how
his pupil is faring.

Phillip Reed is quite satisfactory as
the young man with the Princeton
past and the bounce in his soul.
Ted Weems and his"orchestra head
line the Earle stage bill this week.
The Weems' Band needs no intro
duction to radio listeners, victrola
addicts or habitues of the better
night spots during the past decade,
but for some odd reason he has de-
cided not to do much straight playing
when inhabiting the vaudeville stage.
Instead, there insue innumerable vo-
calizations of various pieces with
the exceedingly competent musicians
showed into the background. In the
name of sweet charity it Is best to
let these singers pass unidentified.
To do otherwise would be telling on
them. A hefty chap, named Red
Engle, is the only one to distinguish
himself, his Solo on the E String"
and the Wreck Of Old 81" accom-
paniment being first-rate comedy. The
audience also seemed to like Harlem
style dance number. Weems' Band
is delight to hear, but it gets small
chance to prove it on this program.
The Earle bill includes a splendid
rendition of "Auf Wiedersehen" by
Bert Granoff and Freddie Clark's Or
chestra, and Indian Love Call" by
the same combination.
Anna Karenina" began a second
week at Loew's Palace yesterday. In
this version of the Tolstoi move. every
thing has been sheared away but the
love story and its attendant implica-
tions of social criticism. The job is
performed, however, with skill and
discretion, and the cinema emerges
still faithful in spirit to the original.
Tragedy growing out of situation
that could have been solved salts
factorily by divorce loses some of its
impact before modern audiences, but
Greta Garbos undeniable powers as

beauty of its setting in Czarist Russia

the must" class for thoughtful film

"TOP HAT" BUILDS HIGH
ON FRAILEST OF PLOTS
Astaire and Rogers Continue to
Give Dance Luster to
Screen at Keiths.

CHAKESPEARE was wrong. TOP
- Hat" which tomorrow starts its
second week at R-K-O Keith's, proves
it. For did not Mr.. Shakespeare say
"the plays the thing?" Is not TOP
Hat" hung upon the frailest Of plots
a tale which no doubt became tired
and worn not long after Mr. Edison
discovered snapshots would gallop II
they were taught? And is not TOP
Hat" just about the best musical film
which ever hit this town? He did, it
is and it is.
The plot Of the latest Fred Astaire
vehicle Is devised upon that old mis-
taken identity gag. but, believe it or
not, the cliche is so attractively
mounted and so expertiy directed by
Mark Sandrich that you will actually
become interested in the story. 1t
doesn't matter whether you become in
terested in it or not, however. because
the only important feature in an
Astaire film is Mr.. Fred Astaire.
He is the first reason for the gen.
eral excellence Of Top Hat" The
other reasons. in order of their i'm
portance, being the Irving Berlin
musical score, the sprightly manner
in which the light comedy which car
ries from dance to dance is directed
and played and Ginger Rogers.
Until some one thinks up some
brand-new superlatives to use in place
of the handy colloquial swell" 1t
will be hard to say anything new
about the unbeatable rhythmic tip
tappings performed by Fred Astaire
Until then the best thing to do is say
Astaire's dancing is swell" and then
merely catalogue it. First. he does q
solo to mo Strings" which is mighty
clever; next Miss Rogers joins the
master Of the tap shoes for a dance
to Isn't 1t a Lovely Day" which is
one Of the best things these two peo-
pie have done together; then Astaire
does his TOP Hat, White Tie and
Tails" number before a chorus OF
some 80 men, and this. me lads, Is a
bit of dancing worth the price of ad-
mission a couple of times. The other

Cheek" and the "Piccolino" They're
plenty good enough, though "Picco-
limo" may disappoint If you are ex-
pecting something to top the Carioca
and the Continental. Fred Astaire
has also a superb sense of comedy. a
droll manner which is tops for putting
the comedy over, and voice which
does no harm to a song.
Each Of the Berlin tunes is one of
those things people hum and whistle
as they leave theaters, so it's up to
you to take your choice. Our money
is on Cheek to Cheek"
The chorus dance routines, di-
rected by Hermes Pan, are novel, be-
cause there are no animated pin
wheels and they are highly attractive.
The acting of the mild story is done
superbly by Helen Broderick, Edward
Everett Horton, Eric Rhodes and Eric
Blore, all masterful comedy perform
ers. Ginger Rogers is Ginger Rogers,
which Is enough. She is attractively
clad throughout, keeps up with the
Astaire rat-tat-tat, and is exceedingly
delectable in the Cheek to Cheek"
sequence. H. M.

quiet appeal will last him until he is
past his threescore and ten, and conse-
quently it seems highly plausible
when his young secretary. Linda

with him.
After three years Of jotting down
his vagrant, witty thoughts and OBJ
serving his general department she
decides that all other men, particu-
larry athletic college graduates, are
uncouth animals. When Gaye dis
charges her, she can't help blurting
out how she feels about him, and
their relationship quickly takes on a
new aspect.
Nevertheless things go awry because
q persistent and muscle-bound youth
pursues pretty Linda and, catching
her in weak moment, delivers

dropped in the Ozarks and then for
gotten. But the first glance is the
wrong way to judge Mason, for the
town is under a mesmeric spell and
the inhabitants, for all their peaceful
appearance, sometimes see visions.
The history of the enchantment
dates from the time that Darrow Wat
kins was visited by the devil.
NARROW WATKINS lived out at
the west end of town. He had
come to Mason as a blacksmith,
pinched his pennies carefully and
amaSsed enough money to go into the
farm mortgage business. BY foreclos-
ing on property at every possible op-
portunity he eventually became the
richest man IN the county and Mason's
leading citizen.
But greed made him arrogant, and
when the minister came to him for a
donation Of a plot of ground to build
q new church Darrow def1ed the man
OF the cloth. He said that churches
were for fools and towards. He, Dar-
row Dragged, was no coward; he'd be
glad to meet the old boy himself,
face to face.
That very night there blew up a
fierce mountain thunderstorm. The
skies briStled with lightning, and at
the height of the storm, neighbors say,
a tall figure strobe up to Darrow's
front door and knocked loudly. He
was dressed in a scarlet cloak, they
will tell you, and beneath the cloak
were revealed, instead of the customary
mountain hip boots, two hairy legs,
ending IN cloven hoofs.
Darrow opened the door, stepped
back in amazement-this much they
saw; then q fierce streak Of lightning
concealed the scene.
That was the last time any one saw
Darrow alive. He was found weeks
later, drowned, at the bottom of the
mill pond. How he got there Is uo-
explained. But the next day, the day
after the storm, when neighbors in
vestigated, they found the imprint Of
q human hand burned into the var
niSh of his front door.
y X y X
CYNICS might say the apparition
was a strayiag wanderer; they
might even tell you that the prints
found in the mud in front Of the door
were those of horse, not OF satanic
hoof-but no cynic has yet explained
away that scorched imprint on the
door.
Scarce wonder, then, that the old
house of Darrow Watkins has been
allowed to tumble down untenanted; |;
it Is, Of course, haunted by the un-
happy Darrow himself, who Is spend
ing an enforced period of atonement
for his insult to the man Of God.
The people of Mason scrupulously
avoided visiting the old house after
that, until the Hentys came to town.

SHORT STORY----
MASON'S GHOST

Dame Henty had a
spinster daughter,
Hettie, a Shrew, the
townsmen agreed,
and something of
a braggsrt. She
alone of the entire
town pooh-poohed
the idea of a ghost.
On a particular
night in early Sep
tember the ladies
of the village had
congregated for a
quilting bee at old
w dow Nelson's
house. AS women
will. and especially
women who have
lived for years. as
you might say, as
the very neighbors
of a ghost, these
good ladies found
their conversation
shifting to the su-
pernatural.
