HUDSON

Featured by lower, longer lines.
With more power AMI two Of the new
est mechanical developments OF the
year, the 1885 Hudsons are found on
three wheelbases and in two motor
types. The big six. with 93-horse-
power motor, Is mounted on 1l6-ncn
Wheelbase, while the five models OF
the standard eight on 117-inch Wheel
base features 1l3-horsepower motor.
Three additional models, with the
same motor and chassis, comprise the
de luxe eight, while there Is IN add
ton a big eight. produced only In
custom club sedan and brougham on
124-inch wheelbase.
= The Steel-roofed body, which IN
closes passengers in a silent. solid
steel compartment with perfect ven-
tilation, and the new electric gear
shift, which entirely clears the front
compartment. are OF special interest.
In addition Hudson is using the new
rotary equalizer, which gives an &C.
curately equahzed pull and uniform
movement on each of the brake
cables. There has been an improve
ment in the power-weight ratio IN
the new Hudsons, while holding the
brake drums to absolute concentricity,
and use of a more flexible type OF
brake shoe are further noteworthy
improvements.
Seventy per cent of the horsepower
increase in the new Hudson motors
results from improved combustion
chamber design, the remaining 80 per
cent being traced to improved tappet
design that provides longer period
of opening and a better filling OF the
cylinders. Hudson engineers have
adopted a special arrangement OF the
piston rings and now use six-blade
impeller for the water pump. Needle
bearings are used on the water pump
to reduce power wastage at this point.
The new-type gear shift operates
from a small H-plate, mounted on
the upper side of bracket extending
to the right on the steering column.
Actual shifting Is accomplished by
vacuum energy, which operates the
gear-shift mechanism itself. Selec-
ton of gears is electrical. It is in
teresting to note that the new shift
can be used with or without the au-
tomato clutch. Since the selector
lever may be moved in advance to
another gear, it is possible to pre-
select gears.

matte cruising gear as standard equip
ment, the Ambassador eight tops the
line. Each Of the three lines are Of
fered in two body types, prices rang
ing over the complete line from 1896
to $3.50. Bodies are Of all-steel, one
piece construction and are stream
lined not only for beauty, but so that
their curving form tends to dissipate
the force Of any blow or pressure ex-
erted at any point on its outward sur
face.
With the windshield sloping at
33-degree angle and the back sloping
down at an angle Of IS degrees. the
resultant effect is highly suggestive
Of airplane design. In spite Of the

LAFAYETTE

Getting away to its second year, the
Lafayette appears in 1885 form
featuring sealed water cooling,
noiseproofing, feather-touch control"
and other advanced developments.
The whole car has been redesigned to
bring it into the class of combined
beauty and aerodynamic style. While
it is powered by an 80-horsepower
motor and is long looking and roomy,
the new Lafayette Is built for econ
omy. Much Of this Is due to the use
of numerous engineering features
usually associated only with higher
priced cars.
The sealed cooling system, for in
stance. seals the water circulating sys-
tenn so as to make refllls with water
infrequent. This also saves anti
freeze and permits higher speeds in
mountainous country. The engine it
self carries q down-draft carburetion
system and full-pressure fabrication.
Counter weights, the use of q vibra-
tion dampener and seven-bearing
crankshaft are but or 40 mechan-
ical features used almost exclusively
by makers of large cars.
"Synchronized springing," a Nash
development, keeps the Lafayette to
an even-keeled ride. BY keeping fric-
ton constant through the USE Of
special inserts, Nash engineers have
been able to bring about closer
synchronization Of rate" and peri
odicity" between front and rear
springs. Spring squeaks ate elimi-
mated and it is possible to regulate
shock absorbers accurately, regardless
of temperature. Rubber spring COW
ers are supplied on all special models.
Noiseproofing is another point
stressed in the Lafayette line.
Special insulating materials have been
used to eliminate the possibility OF
squeaks, rattles and vibration at II
distinct places. The seaman bodies are
also soundproofed to shut out road
noises. The noiseproofing includes
steel flooring, hardwood body inserts,
an improved muffler and an asphalt
rubber composite body insulator over
al metal body parts.

cars. every model is q six-passenger
model, the front seat lacking only 4
inches of being S feet wide. The
spare tire, together with the tool kit,
is carried in the luggage compartment
under the rear deck.
Factory tests with the cruising gear
in operation show q saving Of ap-
proximately 5 miles to the gallon OF
fuel and a saving Of go per cent In
oil consumption at speeds Of 40 miles
per hour or better. At go miles per
hour the cruising gear cuts motor
revolutions per minute from 5000 to
1000. A % per cent increase in engine
power is claimed as q result Of the
use of two spark plugs for each
cylinder. Nash also continues its seven
main-bearing crankshaft for the six

BILL PROVIDES HOLIDAY
PAY FOR CHARW0MEN
Measure Is Favorably Reported
to Senate by Civil Service
Committee.

Charwomen in the Government
service. would be paid for holidays
under one of five bills just reported
favorably to the Senate by the Civil
Service Committee. The measure re-
lating to charwomen has already
passed the House.
The other four bills, which still re-
quire House action, are the Gibson
bill to give employees in Congress the
option of joining the civil service
retirement system, the Copeland bill
providing for automatic promotions in
the customs service and bill restor-
ing to the civil service law the re-
quirement that a person must reside
for one year at the place claimed as
residence in civil service applica-
ton.
The committee also reported the
O'Mahoney bill to equalize the hours
and compensation of employees in the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing
who come under the classification
act. Congress some time ago applied
a 40-hour-week law to workers in the
bureau whose hours and wages are
fixed by a wage board, but this did not
apply to the classified employees.

Farce With
H a S
Mild Quality
Mary Ellis Succeeds
at Metropolitan in
Her limitations.

MARY ELLIS impersonates the
dors in Paris in Spring" In the
picture at the Metropolitan this week
she also mimics a grisette, lady
chemist, a torch singer and her own
handsome, tuneful and mildly robust
self. Even this impressive lot of
limitations does not make much, how
ever, of a slight and frothy cinema
which may be best described as a
bed room farce set to music.
Aided and abetted by Lynn Over
man, Tullio Carminati, Jessie Ralph
and an obscure gentleman who re-
veals untold genius as an namely
bored restaurateur. the farce is by
far the most satisfactory quantity in
this affair. The rest consists of few
mediocre ditties by Gordon and Revel,
some clever photography and a few
piquant touches from the directorial
wand of Lewis Milestone. All are
strewn loosely through an elaborate
mix-up between Miss Ellis and Mr..
Carminati, who are in love but bicker-
ing, and far younger couple, ditto.
Mr.. Carminati finds young Mignon
about to leap from Eiffel Tower,
whence he had planned to bounce his
own sorrows into oblivion, and the
other lad finds Miss Ellis singing songs
in a night club.
All four show up at country es-
tate, where old Grandma Jessie Ralph
lives. She thinks Tullio and Mignon
and Miss Ellis and NIlgnons Albert

the gendarmes, the French equivalent
of Jack Dalton and the u S. Marines,
arrive in time to get everybody
Strengthened out before matters get
beyond the bounds of gooo, clean fun.
Eventually Grandma Ralph delivers
speech paraphrased from Elinor
GYMS Gettysburg Address," the
quarreling lovers forgive one another
and the curtain descends upon pref
ty duet between Miss Ellis and, Mr..
Carminati.

THE film at the Fox this week Is
The Man on the Flying Trapeze."
1t is enthusiastically recommended to
all w. c. Fields admirers, in spite OF
the fact that it hasn't any story and
the ending is weak.
THE FARMER TAKES A WIFE"
is an attractive pnotoplay, we'll
acted, skillfully directed, and, while
long and rambling, nevertheless in
teresting throughout. 1t is currently
playing at Loew's Palace.
The Fox Co. has seen to it that
good deal of the nostalgia Erie
Canal background has beer retained,
and many of the simple virtues of
the Broadway play. While the lat
ter was never a dramatic thunder
bolt, it always seemed TO us struc-
turally better play than most peo-
pie would have it-and the acting
above reproach. This was due to
June Walker and Henry Fonda, two
principals who carried the drama to
its final resting place with the punch
that 1t deserved.
Mr. Fonda plays the same role in
the film and plays it with that same
slow and sly charm which carried
him to the heights in the first place.
An actor of considerable magnetism.
he is being groomed already by the
Fox studios as the Gable of their
lot, and Judging from feminine re-
actions already encountered. it would
seem as if Fox has hit upon a young
gold mine.
Janet Gaynor plays Miss Walkers
role and since she had the wisdom of
going to see the play good many
times and learning. certain Walkerian
mannerisms. she comes out better
than you might expect. She isn't as
good as Miss Walker-but she's next
best.
The omission of the word "canawl"
is somehow missed also some of the
more pungent scenes-and the fight
scene isn't any more exciting when
it is shown than when it wasn't (as
in the play.
The film is very long and slightly
uneventful. But the virtue of the
picture is in these things-the slow
living of those days having been mir
rored with good taste and tact.

"ORCHIDS TO YOU" BUILT
ON MIXTURE OF COUPLES
Some Important Actors Are
Placed in Various Artificial
Situations.

John BOLES, Jean Muir. Arthur
Treacher, Charles Butterworth and
numerous other rather important Gin
ema people parade about In some very
artificial settings in orchids to YOU
which this week is available for public
inspection at the Columbia, but for all
their talented presence, the film is
neither good nor bad. If you're in a
good humor and don't care what hap
pens to you, you may enjoy 1t, but
If you are looking for adeptly blended
hokum you are in the wrong depart
ment.
Mr.. Preacher, who has just sprung
to a position of eminence as a highly
important subordinate in any film in
which he appears, buttles again in
this, but he has too little buttling to
do. He'll awake you from your leth-
argy whenever he appears on the
screen, but he always leaves too soon.
Mr.. Butterworth, an amiable and
unassuming funster, does his portion
of the piece, which also is not enough
in true Butterworth style. which is
just about tops. He pulls a gag early
in the proceedings which should go
down as one of the major wise cracks
of the season.
The film Is not built around Mr..
Butterworth and Mr.. Treacher. 1t is
about a laSsie who sells orchids and
other flowers, Miss Camellia Rand
(Jean Muir. She peddles some of
these rare, delicate and famous poSies
to one Mr.. Draper Harvey Stephens)
to be delivered to q Mrs. Bentley
Ruthelma Stevens). Mrs. Draper
(Spring Byington) decides to have a
divorce and hires as counsel Mr..
Bentley (John Boles), who is in love
with Miss Rand. Now Miss Rand
turns out to be highly righteous per-
son and refuses to tell to whom she
delivered Mr.. Draper's sly love tokens,
which is. of course, very commendable
but hard on the movie. because it looks
as though everybody is going to have
to go on and on, living with the
wrong person.
In the end, however, It Is to be
assumed that every one in the case
gets tied up with the mate he wants,
for Miss Rand and Mr.. Bentley clinch
for the fadeout. You can 60 in very
late in the film and in five minutes
will know what has gone before and
probably will not care what happens
| from then on. Miss Muir and Mr.
Foles could have saved lot of time
and celluloid if they had confessed
their true and undying love to the
world and to each other as soon as
| they discovered it.
The rest Of the Columbia program
has a Terry Toon Cartoon which is
grand, highly interesting piece about
wire haired fox terriers, which will
make you want Immediately to own
one; comedy which is funny some
of the time and the news reel.

InWardly she was convinced that most
of Jim'S grousing about her food was

sion about Jim's mouth.
And after an hour of bridge Sal

the night of the fight and starts pre-
ring battle with the champ, the champ
cools him. Then Mr.. Cagney steps
into the ring and hattens the champ.
Thereupon Brother Pat O'Brien-
O'Hara, who had been sulking over
losing his girl to Mr.. Cagney-O o 'Hara,
picks up the conquering hero and gen.
erously tosses him into the girls lap.
At least, that's what the synopsis says.
Actually, he does no such thing, but
1t might have been a swell idea.
Whether Mr.. O'Brien-O'Hara does
or does not fling Mr.. Cagney-O -O'Hara
inUo the lap of the future Mrs. Gag
ney-O'Hara, you may have gathered
that THE Irish In U.s. is no classic of
modern inventiveness. 1t is, however,
sharply directed cinema, with every
possible ounce of action, humor and
pathos squeezed into the situations
it presents. Given a competent cast
and a stale plot, Director Lloyd Bacon
handled his assets so skillfully that
the weaknesses are forgotten.
HIS actors seem to cherish an espe-
cially warm feeling for the work
cut out for them in this production.
Cagney is less bumptious, but more
beguiling than in his recent pictures,
Pat O'Brien takes no liberties with
his straight Characterization of
serious minded cop, and Allen Jen-
kins' thinning of a lazy, slug-nutty
palooka is approximately perfect. Be
tween them, Mary Gordon, as the
mother of all the O'Haras, and Frank
McHugh, the nutty one of the three
O'Hara brothers, manage to lift al
most every scene in which they ap-
pear, no mean feat with the Cagney
competition around. The heart in
tereAt is supplied by Olivia DeHavi-
land, a gentle. shy and unseasoned
newcomer to the screen.
