'BABOONA' AND FIGHT FILM, DOUBLE BILL
 AT CAPITOL TONIGHT

Martin Johnson, co-producer with Mrs. Johnson of the new African epic, Baboona,s which opens to- night at the Capitol Theatre. made an Illuminating discovery while ex- ploring Africa by plane. To their surprise they found that many of the most dangerous beasts were un- disturbed by the arrival of airplanes in their midst, and were able to secure remarkable shots at close range
 We found,' said Johnson, that the sight of the ships nor the sound of the motor could stir any emotion in the elephants. The man-scent doesn't affect the elephant anyway and the big beasts were absolutely Indifferent to the approaching air plane.

STATE POLICE SEEN
 "CAR 99" COLISEUM

How modern police forces use ra- dio in trailing and tracking down criminals is illustrated in Para mounts Car 99," which opens at the Coliseum Theatre tonight. Fred McMurray, Sir Guy Standing and Ann Sheridan head the cast.
 The picture, based on the popular short stories by Karl Detzer, which recently appeared in the Saturday Evening Post, goes behind the scene of activities with the Michigan State Police, most famous of the motor izad anti-crime forces. It shows how a small body of trained men can efficiently patrol an entire state with the help of radio communi- cation.

er, 1t was presented to the White
House by the French government.
Chartran was born at Basacon,
France, in 1849. He was information
ally known as portrait and histor-
ical painter. He studied under Cab
anel and was the winner Of several
coveted prizes at exhibitions In Rome
One Of his most famous paintings is
1.-The Vision of st. Assise." Upon his
visit to America many social and
political celebrities sat for him, among
them being Alice Roosevelt. now Mrs.
Nicholas Longworth; Admiral Dewey,
| President Mckinley. Secretaries Root
and Knox and Cardinal Gibbons.
Besides the recently placed portrait
| Of Mary Todd Lincoln Is the charming
portrait Of Mrs. James Monroe, also
a new addition, which was painted by
Eben F. Comins, who spends his Sum-
mers at Gloucester, Mass, and is a
resident Of Washington, D. C.. Mr..
Comins was born in Boston, Mass,
and he studied with Denman Ross
i dAlu az Vic fAlI R1uoCu1Il oOoIOll.
He also was pupil, in Paris, at
Beaux-ArtS. He Is a member Of Bos-
ton Society Independent Artists, Bos-
ton Art Club, Arts Club of Washing
ton and several other very prominent
art clubs. At the Hartford exhibit in
1921 he was awarded first prize, and
the Society Of Washington Artists in
1891 awarded him the prize in land
scape.
His portrait Of Mrs. Munroe Is a
reproduction of the. original painting
by Benjamin West, and it is the exact
size Of Vests picture. The original,
owned by Mr.. Hoes Of Washington, is
in rather poor condition, and Mr..
Comins' picture has brought out all
the details, making an excellent like
ness.
One Of the portraits painted by Mr..
Comins is a study Of the late Calvin
Coolidge, jr. The natural pose is
very lifelike, and the background of
the green hills and meadows is an
added touch of realism.

Curbing the Chinch Bug.
PLANT pathologists and entomo

PLANT pathologists and entomol-
ogists sometimes baff1ed in their
efforts to curb certain diseases or pests
OF plants because of the expense in
volved. turn to other methods of
affecting the same end.
In the case Of the chinch bug,
which plays havoc with the corn crop
when the insects are present in large
quantity, new type Of corn has been
developed which is particularly i'm
mune to the damaging effects Of the
bug.
Although well constructed ana
maintained barriers stop the first
brood Of bugs from advancing out of
small grain into corn, there are no
known measures for preventing adult
bugs Of the first brood from flying into
corn fields and depositing the eggs
from which hatch the second brood
that feeds on the corn until it ma
lures or Is killed.
The development and use Of corn
highly resistant to second brood bugs
along with the use of barriers is ac-
cepted as the most practical and effec-
tive way to guard against tremendous
losses to individual growers. Although
the exact factors that make for re-
sistance to chinch bugs are unknown,
the resistant hybrids seem to have
stronger stalks and thus do not come
down" so readily. Some open polli-
mated strains have proved resistant to
chinch bug damage and are planted
profitably, but only where they are
locally adapted.

his name and made him his sole heir,
and it was this sons wife who graced
the White House during Jackson's
term of Office.
The portrait is a seated figure
gowned in red velvet with a gray
scarf thrown about the shoulders.
This gentlewoman was said to be a
favorite with all who knew her, and
especially with jackson. The Her
mitage, Gen. Jackson's home near
Nashville, Tenn, was purchased by
the State of Tennessee after his death
and given to the sons wife for a
home during her lifetime. The por-
trait Is unsigned.
The quaint portrait Of Mrs. Martin
Van Buren, which is hung near the
portrait of Dolly Madison. is that of
another Presidents daughter-in-law
The beautiful Angelica Singleton
married Col. Abraham Van Buren,
oldest son of the President. When her
widowed father-in-law was elected
President she came to the White
House with her husband and pre-
sided as mistress. The portrait Is by
Inman and was painted about 1912.
The dress is Of white orocade trimmed
in lace, tight-fltting pointed waist
with deep bertha. A iace-edged hand
kercheif is held in the left hand and
the right hand is gloved. A coronet
of ostrich tips encircles the head and
a gold chain with a pendant orna-
ment is drawn across the parting of
the hair, which is dressed high with
many curlS
Henry Inman, the artist, was born
in Utica, N. Y, october 20, 1901. At
the age of IA he was an apprenticed
pupil Of John Wesley Jarvis. He
worked with him for IS years, then
set up his own studio, painting land
ScapeS, genre subjects and portrai~
and meeting with marked success.
Some of his best-known pictures are
RIP Van Wrinkle" The Newsboy" and
''The Boyhood of Washington" Among
prominent people of the day who sat
for him were Bishop White, Chief
Justice Marshall and President Van

of the National Academy of Design,
in New York, and was its first presi-
dent. In 1874 he went to Europe and

America in failing health and at the
time of his death vas engaged in

administration. His talent was quickly
recognized In this country and he made
many friends. He also painted the
portraits of several celebrities Of that
time.
The portrait of Mrs. Polk, wife Of
President James K. Polk, was for
many years given space on the walls
in the library of the living rooms on
the second floor Of the White House,
but it now hangs in the lower cor
ridor. 1t was presented by the women
of Tennessee during the administra-
tion of President Arthur. 1t is an
original and unsigned. Mrs. Polk was
Sarah ChildreSS before her marriage.
In this pose Mrs. Polk wears a dress
of red velvet, with short sleeves of
black lace and her jewels consist of
necklace and bracelets.
One of the loveliest pictures Of the
Presidents wives is the full-length
portrait of Mrs. Rutherford B. Hayes.
This was presented by the National
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
and unveiled by delegation of that
organization March 9, 1881, the ad-
dress being made by Frances E. VIII
lard. Mrs. Hayes was as handsome
as her portrait. She had dark hair
and dark-brown eyes, which the artist
has visualiZed into an excellent like
ness. She wears a dark red velvet
gown with graceful train, the bodice
has a square neck with soft finish
of real lace. the left hand lifts the
train, while the right holds a rose
and two buds Of deep cream color.
Daniel Huntington, the artist, was

under S. F. B. Morse in 1885, and
later studied with Henry Inman.

worked under Ferrers IN Rome.

later he devoted his time to portrait
work. He was elected q member Of

largest canvases are Lady Wash
ington's Reception Day" and Queen
Mary Signing the Death Warrant Of
Lady Jane Grey" His portraits of
prominent men of that day include
the painting Of Abraham Lincoln
which now hangs in the Union League
Club in New York City; Martin Van
Buren, in the State Library at Al
bany; William Cullen Bryant and
John Sherman. His style Is excellent
and he used color in subdued tones.
MRS. BENJAMIN HARRISON's
portrait was also the work Of
Huntington and was presented by the
Daughters Of the American Revolu-
ton, of which she was its first presi-
dent general. The figure is shown
full length and is gowned in pale
blue brocade trimmed in white lace.
The sleeves are short, with a deep
flounce of the lace, and she carries an
exquisite hand-painted fan. Her
jewels are diamond necklace and ear
rings. Art critics have said that this
picture is not only a poor likeness,
but also poor picture, yet to the
average beholder it is pleasing.
Charming is the portrait of Mrs.
Theodore Roosevelt which was painted
by Theobald Chartran, who came to
this country to paint a picture of
Col. Roosevelt. The artist was, how
ever, delayed. and when he arrived,
some time after the date set for pos
ing, President Roosevelt was too much
engaged to spare the time necessary,
so Mrs. Roosevelt consented to sit for
the artist. This picture is sketched
out of doors, the figure seated on a
bench, with the south portico of the
White House forming part of the
background. She wears a black silk
coat edged at the neck with a soft
white ruff, and her large Gains
borough hat with black ostrich plumes
is picturesque. In her right hand are
gloves and in the left she holds a
parasol. The pose is a natural one,
and the entire picture is considered a
splendid likeness. Chartran could not
finish the portrait while here, so took

The dress, Of exquisite softneSs, blends
with Amelh's real Florentine style,
which has a remarkable deicacy of
finish. The subject holds fan across
her lap and wears bracelets, necklace
and earrings of precious stones. There
Is a tilt to the head which gives the
impression that the subject is in a
reflective mood, but it is claimed that
this was an afflicton caused by some
muscular contraction. This was the
first portrait of a Presidents wife to
be admitted to the White House.

THE portrait of Mrs Calvin Coolidge
was painted at the White House
by Howard Chandler Christy during
Mr.. Coolidge'S administration. This
painting hangs in the lower corridor
and was presented by Pi Beta Phi So
rority. of which Mrs Coolidge is q
member. The picture Is full length
and was painted from a position in
the south grounds of the White House
with the pillars of the south portico
visible in the background. Just at
the back Of the figure fountain plays
and the spray mingles with the scarf
that drapes the upper figure. The
simple lines of the red velvet gown
are very effective, together with the
white collie dog in the foreground and

The portrait Of Mary Todd Lincoln,
recently added to this collection, was
painted by her niece, Katherine Helm,
daughter Of Emile Todd Helm ana
Ben Hardin Helm. The artist was
born in 1856 and is the author of sew
eral books, the best known being The
True Story of Mary Todd Lincoln,
Wife of Lincoln which was published
in 1928.
This portrait is a real study in
character and one Is Immediately
drawn by the winning smile, together
with the pose of dignity. The dress is
evidently of soft taffeta, in pale ecru
with tiny flowers and the old-fash-
ioned bodice falls off the shoulders,
outlined in exquisite rose point lace.
The painting is appropriately placed
over what remains of the Lincoln
china, which was purchased during
the Lincoln administration. It is white
with dark crimson border, and the
center insignia is much like the N. R.
A. eagle.
The portrait of Mrs. Andrew Jack

Of President Tyler, was painted by
Amelli in 1848. This painting had a

House and when discovered was put

reputation, receiving treatment that
restored it to its original beauty be-

IT remained for lawyer to dis
Il cuss the trial Of Jesus from the
standpoint Of lawyer.
That happened some years ago
and those opinions resulted in
lot of new thinking on the part Of
millions.
Also it is a lawyer who is first to
interpret the Sermon on the Mount
in a concrete and practical way.
The lawyer is John r. Browne Of
the firm of Browne e. Campbell,
Marion. Ind. His book is The
Great Sermon" The Stratford Co..
$3.50.
My critical opinion of The Great
Sermon" is that 1t will live in the
memory of every reader as long as
they are mentally conscious.
It is one of the mightiest little
books I have ever read. Mr.. Browne
has made the philosophy contained
in the Sermon on the Mount a liv-
able and workable religious philos-
ophy.
TINE Sermon on the Mount had
Il a great purpose, a carrying on
purpose that would extend from the
time of its utterance up to this very
hour and into every hour to come.
1t is a tremendous task we'll done
when any man can trace in IA pages
something that has lived forever,
but which so few have completely
rubbed mental elbows with.
The author takes each Beatitude
but his most masterful
Interpretation is found in his dis
cussion of the first which is:
Blessed are the poor in spirit; for
theirs is the kingdom of heaven"
He plunges into his subject in the
first seven lines when he defines the
poor in spirit" as those who are
spiritually poor"
