Zerbe, who has taken a profession

of fine art, has become a dictator in
Manhattan. Invitations to every So

PHIL BAKER FATHER
Stage and Radio Star Has New
Son.

NEW YORK, January l R.-Phil
Baker of the stage and radio has re-
ceived word that he had become the
father of an eight pound boy.
The event occurred at the Good
Samaritan Hospital in West Palm
Beach, Fla, where both the baby and
Mrs. Baker were reported doing we'll.
Mrs. Baker is the former Peggy
Cartwright, musical comedy star. They
have a 14-month old girl, Margot

Mr.. Gwenn's sugary example Of
acting helps the play over its weaker
moments and gives it genuine -four
jsh toward the end. The author has
kept the best for the last too. and the
audience goes home feeling that it has
had a mutton-chop evening In the
theater and that England has sent us
a nice conventional comedy with
which to exploit the talents OF one OF
its favorite sons.
Mr.. Gwenn is not. however. alone
in his excellence. There is Melville
Cooper to unravel all those banana
peels and Margery Pickard, Molly
Pearson. Marjorie Wood to carry
along the femme" interest. All Of
them are extremely good. Then again
Leslie Denison does stout service as
the anxious young man and George
Anderson and Reynold DeniSton to
give the "law" boost. All in all, a
clever cast and one which does all it
can with the play.
Not an exciting evening at the Ma
tional-but q pleasant one-if you
are interested in that sort of people.
Evening star., 1935-01-01

The sum of the story is that things
are seldom as they seem and that
even such a conventional corner as
Laburnum Grove in England may
have its crooks and funsters. This
is made evident when George Rad
fern, a gentle little man edmund
Gwenn) with a round face and a
Clifford Brooke manner of speech, in
dicates that he is mixed up in phoney
businesses and that even his home
Is not free from nefarious trades.
The third act gives Mr.. Gwenn
what he has been looking for. Here
he exhibits that talent for coony
minnickry which will undoubtedly land
him in Hollywood. Set in on by a
sergeant at arms. he plays his little
game of know nothing with splendid
nonchalance, and emerges from the
battle, fresh with victory and the
prospect of a nice. long vacation.
When he is accused of trafficking in
paper" which has to do with banks
and suchlike, he plays rings around
his accusers and shows why it is that
he has been able to keep up with
such things for so long.

camera, with its synchronized flash

Crash Changed Career.
Before he took to the camera, Zerbe
was a portrait artist in Paris. He
painted some of the most interesting
faces of the Continent, and only took
to the clicking lens when the American
stock market turned on him.
One year ago, when he returned
from Paris, the publisher of an inter-
nationally popular magazine, famed
for its chic, turned him down on the
ground that he didn't know people"

COUNTY ACTION

ent Need to Accept
u. S. Fund

ROCKVIrGE, Md, Nov. l.
Montgomery county school off.
cials will petition the Board of
Montgomery County Commission
ers to take immediate steps to &C
cept the $794,000 allotment, made
to the county short time ago by
the Public Works Administration
for the construction of additional
schools, DR.. Edwin w. Broome,
superintendent of county schools,
said here today.
The announcement followed a
conference of members Of the
county school board here yester-
day, during which several mem
bers declared that if action to &C.
cept this appropriation was not
taken Immediately, the PWA
would cancel it and allot the funds
to some other locality.
Follows Experts Survey
The appropriation. DR.. Broome
said, was made to the county on
the 30-70 per cent basis. $234,000
to be an outright grant and $780,
900 to be paid back by the county
over a period Of years.
Application for these funds was
made following a survey Of
county school needs for the fu-
ture," made by DR.. N. L. Engle-
hardt, of Columbia University,
several months ago.
In his report to county author
tiles, DR.. Englehardt declared,
many of the present county
schools were overcrowded, several
additional schools were needed in
various sections Of the county to
alleviate the transportation prob
lem, and that the new buildings
then being completed under for
mer construction program would
be insufficient to care for the
pupils for longer than a very short
time.
Several commissioners, reluct-
ant to discuss the question, said
today that while they favored good
schools and realized the need Of
some additional school facilities,
they would consider the queS-
tion very carefully before they
would agree to place an addi-
tional bonded indebtedness on
the county.
Such action would be in direct
violation of the campaign plat
form of the Fusionist members
of the board.
Under the new contemplated
program, several school sites
would be purchased for future
use, new buildings would be
erected in various sections Of the
county, and additions would be
made to many of the present
buildings to relieve oVercroWding.

indicted by the District Grand
Jury today on conspiracy and
mail fraud charges in connection
with the operation of the United
States Royalties Exchange, which
the Government claims mulcted
Eastern investors Of more than q
half million dollars in three years.
The exchange, which dealt in
oil royalties in Oklahoma and
eastern Texas, is said to have de-
frauded Washington investors Of
approximately 100000 by mis-
representing the value Of proper
ties in which they dealt through
made-to-order appraisals of a sub
Sidiary company in New York.
Also known as L. c. Van Ripper.
the elder Weightman has been in.
volved in numerous encounters
with Federal and State authori-
ties for more than 80 years in

He was convicted Of mail fraud
in New York in 1925 in connec-
ton with the operations Of the
Parco Oil Corporation, according
to official identification records,

The indictment is in 19 counts.
the first of which accuses the
IA defendants Of conspiracy to
use the mails to defraud and the
other 18 counts allege that the
IA. in as many instances, COM
mitted the substantive offense Of
mail fraud.
Promised Too Much
Operations Of the alleged ring
involved many technicalitieS Of
royalty trading, but in most in
stances, according to records in
the case, the alleged frauds were
perpetrated by representing to
prospective purchasers that the
producing royalty offered for sale
was far in excess of the actual
production. An oil royalty is
ordinarily represented in one
eighth Of the production of a
given tract. but in several in
stances the defendants are al
legged to have told purchasers
that the royalty from a certain
tract would amount to q given
figure which was actually more
than the entire production.
Rosy pictures of wild guShers," "
which, in fact. were "dry holes"
were painted by the accused for
their investors, the indictment
alleges.
