Arliss' Portrayal Of

high Office with the affairs of state.
He is crafty, sly, and powerful when
he forces King Louis XIII edward

church and save his throne.
Mr. ArliSS makes the cardinal a
mentally devout man, but not an
emotional one. Mr.. Mantel's Rich
elieu was an emotional fatherly
Characterization, a man who used
his high Office and the power Of
Rome only in emergency.
Mr.. Hampden's Cardinal does not
differ so greatly from that of Mr..
Arliss, but the latter gives the
cardinal the characteristic Of rapid
speech and decision which is found
In most Of Mr. ArliSs' work.
TN this role. Mr.. Ariiss shows the
i fruit of his many years of labor
upon the stage and screen. Here is
a master craftsman working upon a
great historical character and he is
able to bring to life again this man
of great power.
1t is evident that the star has
spent years studying Richelieu, just
as he would have done if he were
bringing the play to a Broadway
theater Or even the London stage.
An outstanding performance Of
King Louis is given by Mr.. Arnold.
His Louis is an egotistical, but
rather cautious, fop, who fights for
time the treacherouS advice of his
queen and her scheming advisors.
The romantic interest in the film
is furnished pleasingly by LenOre
(AIaureen O'Sullivan) and Andre
DePonS Cesar ROmero). Their act
ing is along movie lines, not great
but pleasing.
The figures Of court and in diplo-
matte circles have been splendidly
assigned. Fine work is contributed
by Violet Cooper, Kathryn AleXan-
der, Robert Dumbriile, Francis Lis
ter, Guy Bells, Boyd Irwin, Lums-
den Hare, Herbert Bunston and
many others.
The production, both as to cos
tunes and scenic background, is one
of great beauty and dignity. Splen-
did lighting effects are provided and
the recording is excellent.
Here is another fine accomplish
ment of the talking screen and a
masterpiece in the hands of Mr..
ArliSS.

DENMARK REVIEWS EVER-FULL CASKS
 IN KINGS CELLAR

COPENHAGEN, Dec. 23. = Three hundred bottles of Rhine wine from this years harvest have been pur- chased by the Royal Danish Court, in keeping with a custom which has been followed for $40 consecutive years
 The new wine will be used, as in former years, to replace what is drawn and what evaporates from four large casks which were filled in 1895 by King Christian ".
 The four casks, which have never been empty, are in the cellar of "Ro- aenborg' castle. Each cask holds l. 500 bottles and every sixth week the wine keeper must descend into the cellar and empty six bottles of new wine into each cask.
 The wine is served only at the Kings gala New Years dinner for his household and cabinet members.
 Contrary to popular reputation, it is reported, the wine has acquired a taste resembling vinegar. For this reason, it is reported, King Christian has in late years ordered that sugar be served with the wine.

oHIo,s PLANS?

T. has teen rum5red for some time that Ohio Republicans pan to put up q favorite sen in the state pref e.anAal primary next spring The move is said to have the support or flo. ner Postmaster General and po- it.cal lieutenant of Hoover-Walter Brown, Republican National Com m.tteeman from Ohio.
 T2e strategy is to make it impos- -ie,e for an outsider unacceptable to them to come in and grab off an in srructed Ohio delegation to the Re- publican national convention.
 Some believe those in control of Republican machinery in Ohio de- vlsed such a plan for the express purpo-e of heading off Senator Bor- ah. The Idaho Senator is said to plan entering a number Of state pri- maries, although he has made no def mite commitments as yet.
 In Ohio, for a candidate to enter the preferential primary he must de- clare himself a candidate and give written permission to enter his name. Whether Senator Borah will do so, only he knows right now.

By HERBERT HUMMER

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23-While his advice may not be taken Republican politicians realize the warning of former Senator Fess of Ohio that if the G. o P. is to compromise with the New Deal' the party might as well endorse Roosevelt for reelection and let it go at that, has some merit.
 There is a real difference of opin- icn among Republicans on the ques- ton of how far they should go in their assaults on the New Deal" in the coming campaign.
 Many feel as Fess does-that there should be no pulling of punches in '26. Others are of the belief that 1t will be a mistake to clamp down to ss7ere,y on agencies such as the .hAA with it's benefit checks to the earners.

WOULD ELIMINATE SOME

Another of Fess' observations, com ing as it does from a member of the Republican Old Guard in a pivotal
 tate like Ohio. attracted the atten- ion of politicians here.
 Candidates are mere incidents of importance, he said, 'only meas uved by the philosophy advocated. To talk about the Republicans considered as candidates men who voted for the AAA or MIRA, or the
 ther soeialistic nostroms,. including the financial masquerading, infla- ton, the silver debauch and the wild

 Were this advice adhered to, the names of several men in the Senate prominently mentioned as candidates for the Republican nomination au- tomatically would be eliminated from the picture by Foss' stricsurcs.

Gradually he was changed from a boy into a jovial old man, while the sledge and reindeer are modern additions. Actually Santa Claus was unknown in England hundred years ago.
