ANN DvORAK IS ROMANTIC LEAD
 IN LAUCH RIOT
Friends of MT. Sweeney Opening at Coliseum
 Proves Hilarious

Friends of MT. Sweeney the Warner Bros. picture which is based on the hilarious comedy by Elmer Davis, opens at the Coli scum theatre tonight.
 The picture is said to be sone of the mort riotously funny films to come to the screen in many day. Certainly the situation Of a meek nopse of a man turning in a night 'aso ferocious h9n, devil with sSe ladies. and the terror of the own, is unique enough to lead to my number of laughable sequence Ns.
 The mouse's miraculous change is inaoircd to a large extent by oye, although liquor and the goad- ings Of an old pal contribute their eharc. Thrills are supplied in a vhiflwind climax in witch the mouse, now become lion, rounds up a band of crooks and compels his domineering and hypocritieal boss to buckle to his will
 Charlie Ruggles has the leading role with Ann Dvorak furnishing the romantic part of the story Others in the cast include Eugene Palette, Dorothy Burgess. Dorothy Tree, Robert Barrat, Harry Tyler, Berton Churchill, Harry Beresford and William Davidson.
 Edward Ludwig directed the pie ,uie which was dramatized for the screen by Warren Duff and Sid ney Sutherland. Sparkling dialogue was added by F. Hugh Heroert and Erwin Gel5ey.

LESLIE HOWARD |. I AXES STRONG ROLE IN FILM
Of Human Bondage by Somerset Maughan Gives
 Star Dramatic Part

With Leslie Howard starring in the picturization of w. Somerset Maugham's "Of Human Bondage" the talents of England's greatest film actor and England's greatest writer merge for what has been hailed a. one of the finest pie lures to face the screen this year It opens at the Capitol tomor- row.
 When RKO-Radio acquired MT Maugham's eminent literary prop erty, it scouped the stellar ranks of filmdom and considered How ard the likely player to project the dramatic romance of the hero. "Of Human Bondage" is Towards first picture for this com pany since he co-starred with Ann Harding in "The Animal Kingdom"
 Howard claaracterizes the crip- pied medical student in 'Of Hu- 1 man Bondage" Sensitive and idealistic. Philip Carey blindly pur- sues Mildred, promiscuous wait ress, in quest for love. His ador- ation unrequitted, he tears him. self away from her thrall and takes up with Nora. and subse- quently Sally.
 Philips slavery to Mildred seems un-everable. She leaves him for trysts with other men, but he takes her back. Nora's love dies as he deserts her to resume with Mildred, who weaves an eerie spell so cunningly that only after in- tense struggle Philip finds re- lease. Howard is surrounded by an exceptionally able cast in 'Of Hu man Bondage Bette Davis heads the feminine contingent, portray ing Mildred in what she believes the strongest role of her career. Frances Dee as Sally; Kay John son as Nora; Reginald Denny, Reg inald Owen, Alan Hale, Reginald Sheffield and Desmond Roberts play other prominent supporting roles.

had than on the stage Fifty per cent of Hollywood's silent stars are out of the picture now, because they cannot talk"
 And today, he says, production costs and responsibilities are too great, shooting schedules necessar- fly too limited, to justify the train ing on the set of neophytes who cannot speak properly. A director with a definite budget must know in advance that his players will come through, fully prepared and trained. In protection he can not take chances.
 Stage Is Better Off
 The stage, however, is better off than the screen in casting matters. Brown tells of testing a stage "ju- venile" for the same role he had done in play.
 He gave a great performance in the play" he says. On the screen, his characterization vanished. He was obviously man of thirty, not the boy in his teens he had seemed to be behind the footlights, aided by distance from the audience"
 The stage can draw on experience to create the illusion of youth. The camera demands youth and yet wants experience also.

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Feb. I9.- For a long time Hollywood has gone to the stage .c cast it's pie lures.
 Now more and more the stage is coming to Hollywood to cast it's plays.
 And the time is here, says Di- rector Clarence Brown, when some thing must be done about the dim finishing supply of trained actors. Between Hollywood and Broadway, ln other words. the candle of talent is being burned at both ends, and pretty soon. the candle is going to be too short.

"The answer? No. I, don't see it in the dramatic schools. Most of them teach elocution, and the av- craze product of such school causes a director to throw up his hands" says Brown, whose casting problems now are centered on play CTS for the stage success, "Ah Wild erneSs!"
 Silent Talent Plentiful
 "The Little theatres, perhaps?" it was suggested.
 "A few of the Little theatres, yes.'
 If silent films lad continued, Brown reasons, there would be no talent shortage. A director could go to dime store, select a pretty girl from behind the counter, and by endless work on the set secure pie lures of her in this pose and that, registering one emotion or another, and the result might be a new find"
 But as soon as such girl open ed her mouth to speak, the illusion would be gone" he says. Tt is the question of trained speaking voices ncw-and learning to use the voice is not matter of months or a year. It takes years of training, and nowhere is that training better

CCC ESCAPES CRITICISM
 The story is quite different down the street where Robert Fechner presides over the Civilian Conser- vation Corps.
 That was one new deal' agency which made no appeal to private capital, and was in no wise de- pendent on popular support. Some sneering accompanied it's inauguration, and there have been a few troubles with local authori- ties here and there, but in the main it would be hard to think of any of the Roosevelt projects which has escaped with less open criticism.
 The size of the corps shortly is to, be doubled Even then it will remain one of the modest of the thew deal" measures.
 In the degree of pride which it engenders in the hearts of the Roosevelt followers, however, it is conceded a rank near the top.

REMARKS

The above draft of ordinance has been
received by radiogram from the Treas.
ury Department through the Department
of the Interior with certain observations.
which are quoted here with:
las result of counter proposal made
on behalf of the National Bank of ehe
Danish w Indies for the retirement of its
circulating notes. such Bank and officials
of the treasury Department have pre-
pared a draft of ordinance which the
Bank has officially advised meets with
its full approval and to which the Treas
ury States it has no objection. The pro-
visions of the draft of ordinance are self
explanatory.
The time for the retirement of the cir
culating notes was fixed at approximate
~ one year and six weeks in view of re-
presentations on behalf of the Bank that
that has been the customary period for
such an operation under Danish Law.
The Bank advises that of the nine hun
dred fifty thousand francs circulating
notes outstanding on February % 1884,
ever eight hundred thousand francs have
been r deemed leaving less than one

large number of Congressman.
About thirty-fve million voters
have already signed petitions, fav-
oring this bill but more are need
ed. All voters are invited to sign
petitions. Opportunity will be af-
forded without charge to all who
wish to sign.
The Townsend Bill provides that
the Government pay to all citizens
of the United States, man or wo-
man over the age of sixty years,
$4,000 per month the rest of their
lives upon two conditions: viz:
job, if any, to be given up to the
unemployed and to spend the en-
tire amount of the $4,000 every
thirty days into the channels of
trade. The bill allows you to pay
10 per cent to your church and
charitable institutions and five per
cent to your fraternal organiza-
lions.
Mr.. Fisher will thoroughly ex-
plain this proposition and everyone
who is interested in any way should
hear him.

Notes On The Bible Lesson For Mar. "a
By Gibreth L. Kerr, Pastor of
The Salisbury Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church.

a new outbreak of heresy furnished
the occasion for the letter. There
were those who were denying the
deity of Christ, who were doubling
the promise of His second coming,
they denied the majesty of His
person. 1t is no wonder, then, that
they had disgraeed the profession
of Christian liberty which brought
them to living licensed and degrad-
ed lives. Some were seducing those
who were unstable and were there
fore ripe for destruction. AS "hope''
was the keynote of the first epistle,
was the keynote of
this. Peter warned them against
these false teachers and exhorted
them to growth in holiness of life.
The Golden Text
The words of our golden text
give not only a good summary
of the Apostles exhortation, but
they give a good index to his own
life. As Jacob in the Old Tesla
ment so does Peter in the New give
a striking illustration of the trans
forming power of. grace. Beginning
with the knowledge of Jesus Christ
as the one in whom prophecy was
fulfilled he went on to know Him
as the Shepherd of his soul. Growth
in grace and knowledge of Christ
will bring into the likeness of
Christ. Is it any wonder that he
of precious faith?
