RIP-SNORTIN' WESTERN

CATTLE rustlers are on the loose

hills, soaring the very daylights out

ing up the gents who own the steers,
but the brave and fearless hero comes
through and saves the day and NE
vada," which opened yesterday at the
Metropolitan Theater, comes to very
pleasant end.
The film reminds you Of Saturday
afternoon at the neighborhood movie
back home. It's just one Of those
rip-snortin' Westerns, with the usual
story and as much action as could be
packed into some 65 minutes worth
of celluloid. There's not much point
to the affair and the story is not one
Of Mr.. Zane Grey'S best sagas Of the
West, nor even one of his better
than-average ones. but it is sufficient
excuse for lot Of shooting and
enough excitement.
The tale moves along with a lot
of speed. This chap Nevada wins
himself ranch in poker game and
joins the other breeders in the vi
cinity in joint drive of their cattle
to the railroad. Then, believe it or
don't, the rustlers start their ne
farious Vaccinations dirty deeds, to

what with his being a stranger around
those parts.
This seems rather strange, because
the rustlers should know that Monte
Blue is the real villain of the piece.
He was cattle rustler in another
movie one time, and you can tell by
looking at him that he hasn't
changed his ways. Nevada, however,

the suspicious cattle owners. trails

THIS is a perfect set-up for Miss
Temple and she gives forth with
vim and vigor. She dances engagingly
(even doing stair number with Bill
Robinson); she sings in her usual
charming manner and she manages
to give an account of herself which
bellies her age In the moments which
call for a certain degree of acting.
But, above all, Shirley still Is the
completely captivating temptresS, who
has but to smile and show those dim
Piles to win every heart within range.
She has not yet gone beyond what is
commonly known, even If 1t should not
be, as the "cute" stage. She is the
ideal of what every little girl should
be and we could have found her on
the Christmas tree yesterday morning
and been very happy indeed.
Karen Morley. Bill Robinson and
Stepin Fetchit are the more effective
members of Miss Temples supporting
cast. Miss Morley, who appears as
Shirleys mother, is an extremely capa-
BILE actress with a sense of natural
emotions and one of the incest voices
ever put on a sound track. Mr. Rob-
inson dances several times and Stepin
Fetchit does the comedy. His best
line is the question, popped out of a
clear sky, why do they call shoe a

line in the whole show, some Of the
dialogue leaning toward terrible. John

DANGER WITHIN FAMILY

Even the most loyal Democrat, if he
wishes to be frank about it. will admit
that the way is becoming rather rocky
Tor the party as far as the election next
year Is concerned.
Democrats may iustifiably scott at
the weakness of the Republican position,
that party still being without an out
standing man who can make a race next
year, although the national convention
is only 10 months away.
The threat to Democratic success is
not caused so much by Republican op-
position as it is by dissension within the
Democratic ranks.
There is a long list of regular" DEM
ocrats, old party wheel-horses. who are
not at all hesitant about condemning the
administration and its new deal"
Among them may be listed Al Smith,
Lew Douglas former director of the bud
get; Jim Reed, ex-senator from Mis-
souri,; Garter Glass, Virginia senator
and member of the Wilson cabinet; Gov
ernor Talmadge of Georgia; George
Creel, another Wilson veteran; John Ras-
kob, former national chairman of the
Democratic party. Then there is Huey
Long, who can hardly be classed as
regular" for anyone but Huey Long,
and he promises plenty of opposition.
How far the regulars" will go is prob
lematical, but that they will make a
swell pre-convention fight is certain.
Another threat turks behind the bulky
form of that sterling Democrat, William
Randolph Hearst Originally Garner
man, Hearst accepted Roosevelt and for
time was an administration supporter
In recent months Hearst reverted to his
natural calling, dissemination of the
double-cross, and has been lambasting
the administration in all his papers worse
than any Republican publication ever
did.
Now the story comes from Chicago that
Hearst is planning a third party to be
known as the Independent Democrats,
with Bainbridge Colby, secretary of state
under Wilson, as its organizer and leader
under Hearst of course.
Here in California, regulars" and
"Epics" promise a fine bit of battling,
unless the acknowledged smoothness Of
Jim Farley can straighten things out.
The "Epics" are hoping to be able to
put an uninstructed delegation back at
the national convention to oppose an in
structed delegation pledged to Roose-
velt The California delegation is going
to be a large one, and capturing it will
be a matter of national interest to the
Democrats.
If Hearst, Huey Long Father Cough
lin and few more of them decide to put
tickets in the field, the chances for the
G. o. P. elephant will begin to look much
brighter. The Democratic party has a
record of family fights" and the recent
ly concluded session of congress, plus
the internal strife, indicate it is living up
to its reputation.

LONGS ENEMIES RALLY

Is the "kingfish' on the way out?
The Louisiana senator, whose attacks
on the administration throughout the re-
cent session of congress were climaxed
by his last minute filibuster Monday
night, has brought down on his head the
wrath of his party, headed by the Pres
ident himself.
By his filibuSter the "kingfish' tied
up the governments social security pro-
gram by preventing passage of the third
deficiency bill which would have furnish
ed funds to set the program in opera
ton. Now even the President admits
that hope of getting any funds is dis
couraging.
Today's dispatches indicate that hopes
of the "kingfish' to spread his domain
into the neighboring state of Mississippi,
met with a setback when the candidate
he backed trailed behind the opposition
candidate in primary run-off.
The same source also tells of a house
Investigating committee believed to be
composed of sworn enemies of Long,
who plan to do considerable probing into
the Louisiana mess which Long rules as
a real czar.
Long comes up for reelection in Jan
the Democratic party and indeed will be
lucky if the powers that be do not throw
active aid to his opponents.
Huey is ambitious and he is clever.
He would like to be President, for that
is the zenith of the power which he
Graves and he is politician enough to
make showing, which while it would
not elect him, would play havoc with
Democratic votes.
If the combination of circumstances
should be fortunate enough to ride him
out of public office, the nation can we'll

Long has more than had his day. Ma
tional respect for congress, always at
low ebb, has little chance to improve
while such men as he are elected to its

He can expect tough battle next jan
uary and it will not be surprising if he
gets the fall for which he has long been
riding.

fine bath from your splashes and
I was in no danger of drowning" "
Away flew this wren, but soon
along came another and this one,
also, the robin gave splashing
bath. Then came a third wren,
and two humming birds, even more
tiny. Mr. Robin took about seven
baths to splash the little birds,
while Uncle Wiggily watched from
the bushes, and soon the bird bath
was empty again.
You are very kind, Mr.. Robin,
to help the tiny birds get washed
in the big bath" said Uncle Wig
gily as he filled it again. But it
must tire you to splash in the wat
er so much. So I'm going to make
a little bath for the little birds and
this large one will be yours and al
so for the larger birds. Then l
won't have to fill it so often"
That's a good idea said Mr..
Robin. Il was getting a bit tired"
When the smaller bath was made
all the birds had fine times getting
wet and cool on hot days. They

NO" said Nurse Jane, its the
robin bird who splashes so hard in
the bath that he scatters out lot
of water The robin splashes in
the bath five or six times a day.
He's the one who spills the Water?"
Doesn't Seem Right
That's queer said Uncle Wig
gily. I've known robins to take
"a bath twice a day in hot weather
But five o. six times is too much.
II doesn't seem right"
Well, you watch and you'll see
what the robin does" said Nurse
Jane. Uncle Wiggily said he would,
SO he took the can of water out to
the bird bath and filled it again.
Then he hid in the bushes to watch
and see what would happen.
Soon a little wren, which is one
of the smallest birds. came flying
through the air and perched on the
edge of the large concrete saucer
which, standing on a pedestal, was
the bird bath at Uncle Wiggily's
lakeside summer cottage. The bath
was a little too deep for such a tiny
bird as the wren, SO he perched on
the edge and took tiny sips of water
for a drink.
oh, dear! How 1 wish l could
take bathl" chartered the wren.
But Uncle Wiggily's bath is too
deep for such a little bird as l."
The rabbit gentleman was going
to say he would make a smaller
bath when, all Of a sudden, along
came flying the robin.

Senate Democratic Leader Joseph
T. Robinson today proposed a far
reaching change of senate rules
intended to prevent filibusters

Huey P. Long at the close of con-

his amendment to senate rules at
the opening of the 1896 session of
congress in an effort to end eX-
hibitions ssch as Longs, which he
said had "disgusted the senate
and the country"
Such a limitation of a senator's
