in his glory, being the Peter Pan OF
middle aged London suburbanites, a
figure-head of modesty. rogue in

WALLACE BERRY is still a little
w lost without Marie Dressler, but
he should be extolled for his playing
of Barnum in the current Mighty
Barnum." While he always seems a
little like an old-faced young boy in
rompers, his emotions being punctured
by a kind of youthful lollipopism, he
is the big bad boy of the screen who
always turns out for the better and
who invariably does at least one good
deed for every three wrong ones.
Berry, however, needs partner like
the great motherly Miss Dressler
Janet Beecher, in "Barnum," gives a
nice performance, but she's too stiff
too unyielding, too straight of mouth
to set Berry off to best advantage
He needs somebody with more Of q
punch. Why, for instance, wouldn't
somebody come along and put Edna
May Oliver in a role opposite him?
The tent" racket should be grateful
to Berry for creating its Mr.. Barnum
with such visionary gusto. He shakes
the very sails out of old Phineas and
puts Jenny Lind to flight with enor-
nous success. The only fault, we sus-
pect, is that the producers were set
on too much hokum-that playing OF
the Swedish national anthem when
ever Barnums right hand goes up
being a gag as old as Moses.
All in all, however, Berry takes
Massa Barnum for very sweet ride
! and in the end has built him up as
the sort of legendary person you like
to remember. When he leads Jumbo
the elephant, to his first circus tent
and the name "Barnum G. Bailey" is
zoomed across the screen you have a
genuine affection for this amazing
fellow and recall with pleasure that

days spent idolizing the fat lady, the

CANADA HAVING
 WARM ELECTION

Ottawa, Ont, Oct. 14.-(UP.- The greatest bid for power by rad- ical minority parties in Canada's history threatened today, as polls opened for the dominion's 18th gen. eral parliamentary election, to cause 8 governmental stalemate. Voters hal a choice among 894 candidates for 245 house of commons seats. The number of candidates and the num- Der of parties backing them was the largest in Canadian history. Parties represented were the con- servative, liberal, reconstruction, CO., operative commonwealth federation, social-credit, progressive, labor, com munist, united farmers of Alberta, united farmers of Ontario and tn- dependent.
 Premier R. B. Bennett, whose con- seryative party has held a majority of 31 parliamentary seats over all other parties for the last five years, fought brilliantly to the eve of the elections to retain power. Under Bennett's leadership the conserva- tives have taken a definitely pro- gressive trend, embarrassing to some of the party's adherents but prob- ably a popular development among industrial workers. Some opponents have accused, Bennett of aping the United States new deal"
