Barnum sends Walsh to Europe

He has his ups and downs as

eventually she walks out on him.
The loyalty of his freaks restores
his shattered fortunes and the

Laid in the tiny town of
Thrums, Scotland, 184O, this
story of a young minister's love
for a supposed carefree gypsy is
contrasted with his fervent de-

the gypsy realizes she will prove
hinderance to the little min

putting him out of. her life.
However, due to the uncontroll.

Three Star Hit
At Palace

Clark Gables charms have here
tofore eluded one feminine movie
fan, but in "Forsaking All Others"
continuing this week at Loew's Pal
ace, it must be admitted Mr. Gable
just about walks away with the
show. That is a big and broad
statement because the entire cast
is uniformly perfect in this fasci-
mating and sophisticated triangular
love drama.
Joan Crawford is delightfully."-
alluring anG changeable and de-
sirable as the girl. Billie Burke,
as her mother, is adorable in her
efforts in getting through we'd
ding which never does materialize
properly. Robert Montgomery,
who is always a fond mixture of
exuberance and polite restraint,
after a little too much of the for
mer settles into an excellent would
be bridegroom. Frances Drake as
the other woman is vampish
enough to be a real menace but it's
Charles Butterworth who puts the
finishing touch to this thoroughly
diverting and amusing comedy.
Hearst Metrotone with Edwin c.
Hill newscasting, pictures the
opening scenes at the Hauptmann
murder trial and a wide array of
interesting events of the day.
Quaint and charming views Of the
people and the country of Ireland

COSTLY FIRE AT N0CALES THEATER
CONGRESS is
BEGINNING TO
OPPOSE F. D. r.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is (Autocast
c1)-The impression is growing that
Congress is inclined to take the bit
in its teeth and show a good deal
moro independence of the President
than it looked like a couple of weeks
ago. This is not alone because of
the order of the Supreme Court in
the "Hot Oil" case that Congress
must do its own legislating, but be-
cause there Is good deal of public
opposition to some of the Admins
tration's policies being voiced all
ever the country. And Congress, no
matter how much it loves the Pre-
sident, loves it's own chances of re-
election mora than anything else.
The first real slap from Congress
toward any Of the Presidents pro-
posals was the refusal to authorize
the entrance of the United States
into the World Court. Mr.. Roose-
welt, his Secretary Of State and his
chiefs III the Senate we're inSiStent
upon this but the pressure of public
opinion upon Senators from the
home states was more powerful than
the Presidential demand.
Divided Opinions
There is a decided difference Of
opinion inside the Administration as
to whether tho ultimate economic
salvation OF the United States is 60
.ng to come about through closer
international relations or by imitat-
ing the narrow nationalistic policies
which have led to relationships in
Europe. The decision against the
World Court indicates a strong
swing toward nationalisin.
The arguments Of the information
alists that we cannot sell our goods
abroad unless we take the other fell
lows goods in exchange have been
somewhat shaken by the reports
just issued by the Department of
Commerce that we sold $1,000, ,000,-
coo more goods to Europe last year
than we imported and that the for
eign countries paid us the difference
in gold.
Another blow to the bright dreams
of the internationaliSts is the fail
ure Of the negotiations with Soviet
Russia looking toward the payment

SOUND EQUIPMENT, CURTAIN,
DECORATIONS AT NOGALES
THEATER DAMAGED BY FIRE.
Blaze Breaks Out In Furnace ROom Performances
Cancelled Until Insurance Adjusters Can
Arrive And Make Survey

Fire, believed to have started from
an over-heated furnace, did consid-
erable damage at the Nogales Thea
ter shortly after o'clock yesterday
afternoon.
The sound equipment and curtain
appear to be entirely wrecked and is
is probable that smoke has done
much damage to the theater decor
ations. Rugs in the front end were
Water-Soaked.
The sound equipment and curtain
belonged to the Western Electric
Company and were valued at $12,-
900, according to Frank Diamos,
head of the theater. The decora-
tions cost several thousand dollars
and as result Of the smoke it may
be necessary to re-decorate a large
part of the playhouse.
Until insurance adjusters can ar
rive here and survey the situation
Mr.. Diamos last evening said he
would not be able to announce when
shows could be resumed. It may be
a week or longer before a new cur
tain and sound equipment can be
installed.
A matinee was in progress at the
time the fire broke out Someone in
the audience noticed smoke and
soon an alarm was turned in. All
theatergoers got out quickly and
safely, and the was no confusion.
Fire Chief Louis Escalada, Cap
tain Al Camerlin, and other fire
fighters got the blaze under con-
troll in less then Is minutes after
the alarm was turned in, and they
were assisted by George Feltman,
a Los Angeles fireman, who is visit
ing Pete Versus. Four or five lines of
hose played upon the blaze.
Mr.. Diamos, who was away from
the thaater at the time the fire
broke out, told a representative Of
