FAST RACING STORY
Anthony Adverse" in novel
form filled 1924 crowded pages.
The task of COMPRISING it into
a feature length movie was gar
gantuan but Sheridan Gibney

translating it into series of fast
flashing episodes, contrived to get
the marrow of the book into a

army of extras, the most pre-
tentious production that has ever
issued from the Warner Bros.
studio, and that includes the
magnificent and imaginative
Dream"
In the task of nuggeting such
a gigantic story some liberties
have been taken with the book
and you will find that Anthony's
adventures stop when he lands
on American shores. Perhaps it
indicates a sequel in 1887.
Anthony" opens with the IA
miliar duel scene between Don
Luis (magnificently played by
Claude Rains) and Angela's lover.
Then with kaleidoscope swift
ness come the turbulent and
tempestuous chapters in the life
of the adventurous Anthony.
The story shows us his life In
the convent which was to have
such a marked effect on his later
years, shows his apprenticeship
to the merchant John Bonney

with Angela which gave him ar
heir, his long search for her after
he became an African slave trader
his tragic discovery that she hac
become Napoleon'S mistress.

ELEANOR HOLM
MAKES CHARGES
OF MISCONDUCT
Officials Presented Show on
Shipboard Unsuitable
for Young Ears

BERLIN, July Is. = Definitely
stricken from the United States
Olympic team roster, Eleanor Holm
Jarrett, % year old swimming star,
charged American athletic officials
with misconduct aboard the liner
Manhattan enroute to the Olympic
Games, and she also said that 100
athletes had viola ed training
rules. However, the Olympic Com
mittee declined to reverse its de-
cision of dismissing her for drink
ing and other training attractions.
The swimming champion admit
ted training on champagne, but
pointed out that she won races
anyway. She promised not to take
another drink if she was reinstated,
but her request was refused.
Mrs. Jarrett stated; Cocktail
parties were nightly occurrences all
over the boat and not confined to
the upper decks. The athletes as
a whole received scant attention
from the committeeman, but the
officer members of the Olympic
party disgraced themselves during
a performance given for the bene-
fit of the athletes"
Specifically the swimmer referred
to a mock marriage and a mock
trial "ostensibly given as an en-
tertainment feature, but which were
SO shocking that many athletes
walked out of the hall"
She said that Gustavus T. Kirby,
New York Treasurer of the Com
mittee, presided over the trial and
80 handled the dialogue having
to do with marital situations that
it was open to questionable inter-
pretations and altogether insult
able for youthful ears. The reac-
ton to the whole show was such
that it was the talk of the boat for
several days afterwards"
