there is a properly scary cemetery.
The weather probably is of minor in

they're interested in is that Boris is
back to scare the very daylights out Of
them-in rain, snow, wind or on q
sunshiny day. This he does, with q
right good will, in The Walking

Mr.. Karloff is a fellow named John
Gilman, who is framed into the elec-
trio chair by political gang led by a
villain portrayed by Ricardo Cortez
He is electrocuted and then brought
back to life by a famous doctor cd

So John sets out on his career Of re-
venge, plodding about through the
rain, confronting his enemies one by
one. The first he stares at until the
chap backs into a table, falls down
and shoots himself; the second he
stares at until the poor fellow runs in
front of a train, and the third he
stares at until the frightened citizen
backs out q window on the umpty-
seventh floor to land-kerplunk-on
the sidewalk. This leaves two, who
corner John in a cemetery and shoot
him. The doctor rushes over to try to
find out what John saw while he was
dead, but John stymies him.

DR.. MUDD ROLE DOES
WARNER BAXTER CREDIT
"The Prisoner of Shark Island"
Stirring Story of Prosecuted
MARYLAND Doctor.

A MERICA'S parallel to the Dreyfus
case is the subject of The Pris-
oner of Shark Island" which is play
ing downtown second week.-Mrs.
time at Loew's Columbia.
Warner Baxter, in the role of DR..
Samuel A. Mudd, gives one Of his best
performances, and, as one of this re-
viewers colleagues said, plays with
self-pity."
Because he gave medical treatment
to John Wilkes Booth, who was in
jured in fleeing the Ford Theater,
Mudd was accused of being an ac-
complice in the assassination of Presi-
dent Lincoln.
The Maryland doctors sectional
viewpoints did little to help him in
the Federal Court. Before presenta-
tion of the evidence, the court was
warned not to let reasonable doubt
in any way affect the decision. The
court was urged to heed the voice
of the people" And the voice of the
people cried vengeance.
So DR.. Mudd was found guilty and
sent to prison on Gulf island below
Key West. There, among criminals
he was tortured, Inundated and
ignored.
Finally. during a yellow fever epi-
demic. Mudd's assistance was needed
in treating the prisoners. Remember
ing his professional duty, he courage
ously helped tend the i'll and comfort
the dying. Because he fulfilled his
duty, Mudd was oxonerated and went
back to his family in Maryland.
Gloria Stuart, as Mrs. Mudd, adds
a leaf or two to her rather scant
wreath of laurel.

to an accurate and thoroughly en-
crossing picture are o. P. Heggie

profession, will concede that sitting
about a fire and following hunt
solely by listening to the hounds
voices-which, according to an an
nouncement at the beginning of the
picture. is an old Missouri custom
is not the fox hunting which is done
in the near-Washington country. But,
tally no! And as Spring Davis says:

A PARROT, June knight and the
n Weir brothers share chief stage
honors this week at the Earle. The
parro. can initiate Bing Crosby. Miss
Knight does a number from Jubilee"
and the Weir brothers have an act
that makes no sense whatsoever. The
combination, plus an opening act that
also deserves mention, Is completely
satisfying.
Miss Knight, who last week was
doing Jubilee" favor by being one
of its stars, comes down here with an
act that seems a little short, but one
that is also indicative of what some
one has called her "elfin spirit" While
the spirit" seems slightly too ryth-
mically warm to be completely "elfin"
she charms her audience by her voice
and her dancing and it is, of course,
a foregone conclusion that the entire
student body Of all local colleges will
be waiting all week at the stage door.
The Weir brothers dancing, singing,
clowning and fiddling goes on midst
enthusiastic shouts from the audience.
They come from France-and as We
said before they make no sense-and
they are frankly riot.
The parrot, however, does make
sense. He is 10 years old. His name is
John Tio. He was trained to mimic
people when his Philippine owner,
who had bought him merely for
pet, discovered he spent his odd mo-
ments initiating other birds. Parrot
Tio can out-schnozzle Durante and
cackle like rooster. He'd be terror

"WIFE VS.. SECRETARY"

Clark Gable, Myrna 10y and Jean

of Marriage Triangles.


WIFE VS.. SECRETARY" latest
w Hollywood discourse on the
matrimonial triangle theme, remains
for a second week at Loew's Palace,
as any one might expect with Clark
Gable, Myrna 10y and Jean Harlow
on hand to tell of the silken woes OF
expensive matrimony and investigate
the sad lot of an office wife"
- The cinema, for all its elegance,
has a tinge of triteneSs, and for all
its dabbling rather quantity with a
rather unimportant problem, is done
with humor and f1nesse. Miss 10y,
Miss Harlow and Mr.. Gable seem to
have no end of fun in their playing
and much of the time make the story
appear relevant. Their fun produces
a lot Of laughs and their sincerity
produces a goodly portion of the
gentle agony there is in Hollywood's
opinions on matrimonial problems.
The best of the moments in the
piece Is the one wherein Miss Harlow
tells Miss 10y she had better hang
onto her husband before somebody
who has an eye on that same hus-
band grabs him. This Miss Harlow
does in a clean and quiet manner
which is all the more effective for her
refusing to shout.
The producers of wife VS.. Secre-
