More than 400 Young Democrats
jammed the smaller ball room OF the
Willard Hotel to hear Farley, who
referred to the President as "one of
the most distinguished Presidents that
has ever presided over the destines
Of this Nation-one who has more
than justified the confidence reposed
in him early in the game History
will class him with Washington and
Lincoln"
In urging the Young Democrats to
cement their organizations, Farley
said:
Despite the fact that 1882 was a
marvellous victory, it was not as well
organized as il might have been. I'm
satisfied that when We go to the polls

SOVIET HUMOR
in NOVEL AND.
MERRY PICTURE
'MOscOaU Laughs at the
BeIascO, Is Foreign
Siapstick at Its Height.

Back to the Slapstick era. with the
green light on anything for laugh
and everything for mad, mad comedy,
goes the first Russian musical firm.
MOSCOW Laughs" which started on
It's merry way of outdoing the Marx
Brothers and sending Laurel and
Hardy back 10 the bush leagues at the
Belasco yesterday.
Moyiegoers who are adverse TO crazy,
goofy, crack Drained cinemas are ad-
vised to seek their entertainment else
where, as this fanatic Soviet film fare
Is even q bit thick for the ordinary
comedy lover.
The novelty OF 1t all, however, is
that the usual American methods Of
slapstick are not employed. Not one
little custard pie Is tossed and nobody
gets slugged over the head with rub
ber nightstick.
Instead, q combined herd Of steers,
goats and sheep swarm into a Sum-
mer resort to transform 1t to q mad
house; goofy-goofy group of musi-
clans stage one Of the funniest free
for-all fights with their instruments
that any camera ever recorded; q
would-be opera singer breaks dozens
OF eggs over the bust Of former Rus
sian hero as she sits at piano trying
TO go from low q TO high c with the
aid Of the raw barnyard products
which she daintily swallows, and a
sheep herdsman who gets chased from
pillar to post by small army Of
police finally lands on an elevated
platform to conduct a symphony Or
chestra in most unusual musical
Interpretation by series OF idiotic
gestures.
Other redeeming features are the
excellent music which accompanies
the slap-stick antics, the singular
photography effects, some noteworthy
and others not so worthy, and the
blond comedienne, whose name you
couldn't pronounce IL we knew now TO
spell it. This young lady, cast as a
serving girl, rides u steer through the
Summer resort which gets wrecked,
sings in good voice and generally does
twice as good job as he who has the
male lead.
On the weak side, some OF the
photography is reminiscent OF the
early days OF Hollywood. most of the
makeup is especially bad. and the
use Of Russian language with English
dialogue titles detracts quite q bit
from what Hollywood has trained
preSent-Gay Americans to expect from
their movies.
For you who would like to expert
ence the novelty of a real foreign
cinema, who can stand ultra"ultra
slappy slap-stick comedy, Moscow
Laughs" is heartily indorsed as well
worth the effort, time and few skekels
its seeing requires.

news reel go with the admission price.

had gone cut after the Mouse. Some
thing had happened.
Peter drew long breath. "I don't
wish that Mouse any hard luck" said
Peter to himself, but 1 would rather
that he would be caught than that
Old Mr.. Toad should be, and if he is,
Mr.. Blacksnake Is not likely to come
back"
Peter hcpped over to the entrance
OF the porch, but when ne looked out
side he could see nothing of Mr.
Blacksnake or OF the Mouse. They had
wholly disappeared. Peter waited
while. He waited quite while. Then
he made up his mind that Mr.. Black
snake would not be back.
Thank goodness!" said Peter to
himself. Now I guess I will get out
OF here while the going is good. but
first 1 will signal Old Mr. Toad again"
So Peter thumped the ground with
his hind feet. but he thumped in
different way. This wasn't q danger
signal. 1t was a signal that danger
was over. He wasn't sure that Old
Mr.. Toad would understand it, but
hoped that he would. Then Peter
poked his head outside and finally
went wholly out. 1t was dusk He
sat up for hasty look in all direc-
tions. Then he scampered across
Farmer Browns doorysrd, lipperty-
lipperty-lip, and SO over into the Old
Orchard.
Meanwhile Old Mr.. Toad, buried in
thH Drni1nH lIndGr fna Ttnrrh had
ceived Peters signal and was acting
on 1t. Peter meant me 10 understand
that whatever the danger was, it had
passed now said Old Mr.. Toad to
himself. 1T must be dark by this
time, or pretty near it, and am be-
ginning to feel hungry"
So Old Mr.. Toad dug his way up.
Very cautiously he poked his head out
OF the ground and looked around.
Then he came out altogether and
hoped outside. He made straight for
one OF Mother Browns flower beds.
He knew OF certain worms and insects
over there that would make very
good meal fer hungry toad. What
he didn't know was that in catching
those worms and insects he was help
ing Mother Brown. Hop-hop- p-hipperty-
hop, went Old Mr.. Toad.
Meanwhile MIR. Blacksnake had
sought certain sheltered place he
knew OF where he was not likely to
be disturbed, for he had dinner to
digest and certain Mouse would no
longer steal grain in Farmer Browns
barn.

METROPOLITAN
HAS THRILLING
IAVIATION FILM
"Air HatUks" Plays With
the "Death Ray and
.,
Features Wiley Post.

Wiley Poskstill Is more OF an avia-
tor than he is an actor, but that does
not keep Air Hawks" which opened
yesterday at the Metropolitan, from
being a thrilling and entertaining
motion picture melodrama. Anyway,
Mr.. Post doesn't figure much.
You might think, at first glance,
that film which employed death
ray" as an important integral factor
Of the plot would stand a good chance
OF turning out ludicrously far-fetched,
but such Is not the case with this
thriller. The ray" is woven so dex-
terously and naturally into the story
that you accept it for its dramatic
possibilities and pay no attention to
the scientific side of the question, and
once having accepted it you are ready
to let the thrills pile up, which they
do in rapid-fire order. The death
ray" is respite from the old baby-save-
our-marriage tale anyway.
Air Hawks" is the saga Of q small
commercial airline, which has first
chance Of landing a mail contract
and It's battle with large line which
bankers after said contract. Use of
The death ray" to kill q couple OF
pilots and commit other damage to
give the small group Of mail-toters a
bad name Is the dastardly method
employed by the large line in its
night. Much excitement Is provided
throughout, and Director Albert Rogell
has very intelligently followed his
punch scenes with laugh to relieve
the tension.
The "dispatcher's ONCE" technique
so effective in the play Ceiling Zero"
is used with good effect in "Air
Hawks" and is improved upon some
what because the scope of the camera
permits the projection of both ends of
the plane-ground radio conversations.
Particularly telling is that scene where
the shouting voice of a pilot whose
plane is being destroyed by the death
ray Is heard via the loudSpeaker by
his wife and daughter Vainly awaiting
him. Mr.. Rogells direction Is backed
up by some very fine camera work, too.
The more important players, other
than Wiley Post. who as was said
before. has little to do other than con-
tribute his good name and some Incl
dental scenes. are Tala Birell, Ralph
Bellamy. Victor Kilian and Douglass
Dumbrille.
"Highlights Of Broadway" an ex-
ceedingly interesting Times Square

Moran are included among the Metro
