COLD RETURN
Continued from page II

work out of the 100000 who still
remain unemployed than any other
single action. Unemployment rests
today largely in the capital goods
or construction industries. These
Industries are dependent largely up
on long term capital. The people
are heSitant to invest their savings
and take long term risks because
there is uncertainty in what value
they will be repaid.
"2. The governments program of
stimulating the capital goods and
giving employment through public
works can never result in 25 per
cent of the jobs which can be pro-
yided by recovery of normal private
capital-oods activities. The other
wise inevitable budget deficits i'm
ply either impoverishing taxation or
more devaluation or initiation. A
convertible gold currency now would
help avoid all these by aiding to re-
store employment and decrease the
need for relief.
Living Costs Higher
"3. The devaluation which has
already taken place has shown and
will show in still higher costs of liv-
ing. 1t affects every wage and sal
ary Garner; surely, a 60 per cent
cost of living increase, already now
in prospect, should be enough
without further increase beyond
that level.
"a. One of the declared purposes
of devaluation was to in effect write
down debts by increasing prices.
Surely the debtors, who include
most holders of common stock and
equities in real property, have Sc
cured enough If they get 4l per
cent reduction. The creditors who in
the modern world include every
holder of a life insurance policy, of
saving bank deposit, a veterans
certificate, and every holder of a
bond or mortgage, deserve some
consideration. 1t would be boon to
these if they were assured through
immediate convertibility that they
would not suffer any further 1t
would be a boon to our great en-
doWed universities and hospitals If
they knew that this is the end OF
their deprival.
rs. We can get in appearance a
false prosperity out OF initiation.
There is much initiation poison in
the national blood through the COM
bined effect of devaluation, ex-
panded bank deposits through gov
ernment borrowing, and the federal
reserve credit policies. The fever
may grow at any time. There is no
real recovery on initiation medicine.
If the currency were made convert
iDle it would tend to check infla-
ton, to replace relief with real en-
ployment and contribute materially
TO a general recovery"

Another Face
At Keith's

Another variation on the ever
popular gangSter theme is offered
for the next five days at Keith's.
The current feature brings the
underworld into the Hollywood
picture making industry, and the
story of crook turning movie

forms the basis of Another Face. !"
The cast, consisting Of Wallace
Ford, Brian Donlevy, Alan Hale.
and attractive Phyllis Brooks. do
all in their power towards putting
across this effort.
Just about the last place for the
police to look for dangerous
killer would be a motion picture
studio. Knowing this, Broken
Nose" Dawson, fresh from the
clever hands of a plastic surgeon,
reaches Hollywood and Zenith
Studios. Mistaken for a wealthy
playboy Dawson eventually is given
chance to act before the
cameras. However, a tip-off from
a forgotten witness and DawSon'S
own insufferable conceit lead him
unsuspectingly to his capture.
This trap is to be the gag supreme
of Joe Haynes. publicity director
of the lot. A mixup with the gang
ster holding the studio at bay
finally brings the picture to a
thrilling and teary ending.
Brian Donlevy. remembered
from "Barbary Coast" makes
Dawson an interesting study, i'll
asmuch as he shows a totally new
side of a public enemy. His innate
love of flattery and his sincerity
in thinking he might go far as an
actor prove the weakness that is
his undoing. AS Joe Haynes, studio

Lederer Tops
AtCoIumbia

Looking for light, amusing en-
tertainment these busy days?
Then Loew's Columbia Theater is
the place to go. THE Gay Decep-
ton" with Frances Dee and Fran.
els Lederer is one of those clever
farceS built around a couple Of
false identities, which are some
times worked into thoroughly di-
verting film fare.
An expert typiSt (Frances Dee)
decides to get away from the
humdrum of tipping and when a
sweepstake ticket for five thou
sand is dropped right into her lap,
the Waldorf in the big city sees
her enthroned in the finest suite.
supposedly Miss Miller, Of the
CaSaba millions.
Along comes a Prince Oederer)
determined to learn the ways Of
America, and so he engages as a
bell hop at the famous hostelry.
From there on things move more
than rapidly, they simply gallop,
with merriment and hilarity in
plenty but without any STOPPING
to the maudlin, to which such a
far.fetched story might so easily
descend.
The Prince in the varying po-
sitionS of bell boy, waiter, errand
boy, finally steps into his real role
of a Prince and the girl who ad-
mitS that she is merely having a
good time as long as her money
lasts fall truly in love as all good
stories end, but not until an hour
or so of the most engaging and
delightful nonsense has unreeled.
Francis Lederer adaptS himself
to this lighter role with uncanny
ease, he is just engaging enough
to give the feminine hearts an
extra flutter but convincing in
that he makes his part real. Miss
Dee is always favorite in the
lighter, fluffier parts which she
often essays. An exceptionally
adequate supporting cast includes
such capable artists as Bonita
Hume, Alberni, and a long list Of
well-known actors.
Hearst Metrotone is replete with
interesting news pictures of the
day, which, combined with an
Our Gang" comedy and short
novelties, completes an
excellent holiday program.

Full of Gags
Some Of this sure fire" comedy
rolls 'em in the aisles and some
falls as flat as a busted balloon.
Fortunately the gag writer's had
in Hugh Herbert and Allen Jen-
kins a pair of ace comedians to
work with.
Mr.. Herbert is cast as August
Freytag, the promoter of the Miss
Pacific Fleet popularity contest
and Mr.. Jenkins is the middle
weight boxing champion of the
fleet and the champion Hoopla
player to boot. Mr.. Freytag has
a weakness for little bottles of
strong medicine and blondes and
is handicapped somewhat by an
exceedingly jealous wife. Their
paths cross those of Joan Blon-
dell and Glenda Farrell, couple
of wise-cracking chorus girls who
are trying to raise enough cash to
get back to Broadway by running
a Hoopla game at a carnival in
San Francisco. The girls are get
ting along swell until the fleet
champion appears on the scene
and cleans them out with his un-
canny ringers.
The only hope of the girls is
to have Joan Blondell win the
$2,500 prize in the popularity con-
test and most of the story is
taken up with their efforts to COL
lect votes.
Good Stage Show
A handsome Marine, Warren
Hull, enters the story to provide
the romance, but the gag writer's
couldn't even resist the tempta-
ton to tamper with the love inter
est by getting some laughs out OF
the lovers canoeing meath the sill
yer moon.
Headlining the stage program
this week is Jane Froman, who
was one of the highlights in stars
Over Broadway" which was
shown at the Earle last week.
Miss Froman, besides having an
engaging personality and a mil
lion-dollar smile, has the knack of
putting over a song. She does a
torch number from her picture
and several other popular tunes.
You'll like her.
Earle Lavere gets off some new
Scotch jokes with the assistance of
Helen Ware. Jane Moore and
Billy Revel do a burlesque of a
ballroom dance team. and Carlton
Emmy puts his well-trained dogs
through their tricks.
Bert Granoff, with all the songs
in the world to choose from, sings

ment and after the stage program
patrons are privileged to browse
in the lobby, inspect the minia-
ture menagerie and MUNICH pea
nuts on the house. Today you
may even buy pink lemonade.
Chan on Screen
The screen presents Charlie
Chan's Secret" another in the
series of features in which the
THANK You Too Much" Oriental
detective again solves a battling
mystery.
Chan addresses himself to find
ing the missing heir to the Lowell
family fortune. In his investiga.
ton he runs into fake seances,
violet rays and other kinds Of
sinister menace but in the end he
proves the guilty cannot escape
his deductive processes.
Warner GLAND gives his usual
calm and studied characterization
with the usual epigrarnmatic wis
dom and clipped speeches. He Is
assisted by a cast which includes
Henrietta Crossman, Charl e S
Quigley, Edward Trevor, Astrid
AllWyn, Herbert Mundin, Francis
Ford and Rosina Lawrence.
On the supplementary screen
program is an animated Christ
mas cartoon, "Ye Old Toyshop"
and the Fox Movietone news reel.

Man Of Iron
Is Feature
At Met

"The Man of Iron," current at
the Metropolitan Theater, is pretty
terrible stuff. So terrible, in fact,
that am still undecided as to
whether the title is meant to ap-
ply to the hero of this flicker or
to the brave soul in the audience
who can sit through the entire
performance.
The thing, from start to finish,
is so overacted, so filled with
gaucheries, that it resembles more
than anything else clumsily han
died burlesque.
Barton MacLane, who did ex-
cellent work as a thug in DIR.
Socrates" is cast in the star role
of the present opus. 1t is doubt
full if his professional career can
survive the experience.
He roarS through a he-man
part attempting to make up by
raucous conversation what the
film lacks in subtlety and well
done action. The character he
portrays, that of dumb but blat-
ant workman, divorces early in
the picture whatever audience ap-
peal 1t may have started out with
You can't make character
as dumb as an OK and stubborn
as mule popular with an audience,
although this flaw cannot properly
be laid at MacLane'S door.
Dorothy Peterson. cast in the
role Of his wife, does convincing
and beautiful Characterization, but
even Miss Peterson's excellent act
ing is not enough to save this
debacle.
John Eldredge, cast in a clumsy
role with atrocious dialogue Gall
the dialogue, in fact, is atrocious) +,
does as good a job as the part al
lows. So with Mary Astor, cast
into a very uncongenial part.
We have heard much lately, as
the year draws to a close, of the
10 best pictures of 1885. I nom
mate The Man of Iron" to head
the list of the 10 worst.
A wonderful scenic film Is
shown, being a sort of hurried
survey of the natural wonders Of
America. Really one of the most
beautiful short subjects 1 have
ever seen.
A Fiji D'OrSay short subject. in
which she displays a beautiful
pair of legs and sings, leaves me

Fast Show at
The Howard

"a Christmas Holiday Treat" is
the best title that can be given to
a fast and delightfully."- entertain
ing all-star musical revue that
opened at the Howard Theater
for a weeks stand yesterday.
The show is different in many
ways from the usual musical con-
coctions seen weekly at the up
town house. The Sunset Royal
Serenaders. an all-star orchestra
of musical entertainers direct
from Palm Beach, Fla. are novel
in many ways. The boys sing. use
two pianos which the accompan-
lists play backwards, and do other
little tricks with their instru-
ments. The boys are just differ
ent-that's all.
Next for a bit Of boosting are
the three RoccoS, brother and
two sisters from Pittsburgh. The
girls sing while their brother beats
out some unusual music on the
piano. He is the first man to do
the "Truckin' on the keys. The
three Bits of Rhythm tap dancers
also come in for honors. The boys
know just what to do with their
feet. Some clean and very delight
full comedy bits are presented by
John Mason and Pete Markham,
blackface, and Jimmy Baskette,
straight man. AS for Markham, he
was a riot in the finale when
dressed as Santa Claus, he got
off some clever truckin! The
chorus is lively and also good to
look at.
