tins Of about 90 per cent OF these
water fatalities, most OF which will

boys, and about half OF them will be
between the ages OF 8 and rs years,
which shows that the most fertile
field for the saving OF lives from
this form OF accident Is among
school boys and young men, This
estimate Is made by the Statisti-
clans OF the Metropolitan Life In
surance company, who report that
deaths from accidental drowning
have remained ut approximately the
same rate since 1924.
During the entire year 1894, the
latest year for which such figures
are available, there were 1926 &c

Jaime did not show up ut the
Glenwood Inn. BY the time he had
his bags packed the detectives had
come TO his room In the big hotel

One OF the guests had seen a him

weakllng TO the core, he had

TO throw suspicion on him.
Ann heard this news from Bill.
After that she had gone TO her
room, thrown herself face down on
the bed, and lain there for almost
an hour.
When she arose she bathed her
eyes and went down TO meet Bill
again. They walked along the lake
shore, and took an old road leading
into the woods. Ann didn't want to
see anybody. She didn't even want
to think.
They talked OF trivial, meaningless
things such rs the color OF autumn
leaves and the new movies. But

Ann dressed quickly, and reiolned

swiftly, but her course was perfect.

Mae for her 10 20 before the people

that she had spent last night on

had steeied herself 10 do II, OF
course Bill couldn't have taken
the bonds, and II was her duty 10
shield him.
AS they walked up the lake shore

10 Bill Ware.
She didn't tell him what she
wns going TO do. But she looked
the hotel manager In the eye, and
said, II spent the entire night In

comparisons it has none. 1t is gay, 1t
is romantic, it is wise, witty and So
phisticated, but still it is quite hope
lessly impossible. Its sheer madness
is what carries it along at top speed
and there isn't a single second in
which it either drags, annoys or
otherwise misbehaves itself.
THE further virtue of ''The Ghost
Goes West" is that it kids the
life out of everything it touches.
From Ghosts, to Scotland, to Parlia-
ment, to Congress the path is strewn
with quips that strike home without
leaving a wound. And as it carries
its ghost from the haunted halls of
Glourie castle to the canal-swept
estate of a rich American Fine Foods
man in Florida. the air is rent with
quaint devises all of which are guar
anteed to give you better entertain
ment.
The ghost in this case is an eight
eenth century Scotch D'Artagnan who
has made the mistake of lingering in
a field with a fair maid on his way
to the wars. Having been warned by
his dying sire not to stop for min

and surrounded himself with some of
the handsomest gals in all these United
States, Mr.. Cantor may justly claim
that one should be marked up on the
board in his favor.
Among the more delirious moments
OF this farce are poker game between
La Cantor, Sidney Fields and two
ghosts; a gay little encounter between
MIR. Cantor and gunman who learned
his trade from mail-order house:
two or three chases that would make
Mack Sennett green with envy, and a
scene depicting with exceeding -artful-
ness the wiles of the carnival pitchman.

pugilism. In the process he gets his
sister married off to the dethroned
champ. finds tidy lass for himself,
and leaves his manager, MIR. Menjou,
bent upon directing the gladiatorial
destinies of a group of cows, while
his wife (Miss Teasdale) clucks con-
tentedly to generous covey of
chickens. All in all these pastoral
deeds are not to be missed. They
sparkle occasionally with an Attic wit
and their cleanliness is antiseptically
refreshing.
The beginning of the stage presen-
tation this week at the Fox introduces
some of the better known characters
born in various Februaries of the
past. They include George Washing
ton, Abraham Lincoln. Susan B.

Thereafter come assorted acts which

Veidt Seen

Tenseness
King of the Damned
Is Effective
Melodrama.

CONRAD VEIDT, in the last scene in
Power" portrayed a man meeting
death with an infinite belief in his
race, his God, and his fellowmen
The last scene in king of the
Damned" is reminiscent of the Lion
Feuchtwanger story. but is not so
dramatic.
The Gaumont- British film currently
playing at the Metropolitan is very
effective melodrama. but because it is
melodrama, has an Intellectual ending.
The tale is about penal colony on
the island of Santa Maria" where the
convicts go about with glints in their
eyes and sleep with daggers hidden in
their hunks. Their plan of escape has
been formed for long, long while, and
by the time the first reel has flickered,
the audience knows that all over the
island things are at SKIES and sevens.
veidt, who should not have been
wasted in an ordinary photoplay of
this type, becomes secretary, butler
and handy man to the commandant,
thus ingratiating himself with the COL
ony's officials. He is. of course, the
leader of the rebellion against the
cruelties and injustices of the prison
guards and officials.
Helen Vinson wanders in and out
frowning at her fiance and falling
in love with Veidt.
There is much shooting, of course
and Noah Beery, who plays a dipso-
maniac, dies sober and a hero.
The last scene finds Veidt announc-
ing his belief in his actions, himself,
and his fellow convicts.
There you have king Of the
Damned" Many people will find ii
appealing because of Veidt's seeming
humility and intelligent acting.
Exceptig the mob scenes, the pic
lures effectiveness Is due to the mood
OF quiet tenseness which pervades it
and contrasts unbelievably we'll with
the hysterical intensity of several
scenes.
The "Merrie Melodies" which the
Metropolitan screens far too seldom.
will soon have Mickey Mouse in the
cheese line, If he doesn't warn his
Disney dad.
The Melody" playing this week is
about family of cunning kittens and

are definite improvement over the

Rose Marie
Continuing
Palace Stay
One of Best Cinema
Operettas Has Two
Brilliant Stars.

JEANETTE MACDONALD and Mel
son Eddy. the Gold Dust Twins
Of cinema operetta, began their second
week at the Palace in Rose Marie"
yesterday, with that comely musical
still packing the house at every show
and sending its audiences away with
hearts full of elegant jubliation.
Emotionally, dramatically and mu-
sically one of the soundest entertain
ments of its type in recent American
history, Rose Marie" is radiantly
played and sung by the two erstwhile
stars of Naughty Marietta" Miss
Macdonald shining forth with espe-
cial brilliance and Mr.. Eddy continu-
ing to be one of the more sensible
and credible songsters of the age.
Unhappily, it is necessary to men,
ton here again that w. s. Van Dyke,
whose direction is otherwise both flaw
less and inspired, fell for the idea
of having Mr.. Eddy wear his Royal
Mounted Police hat on too many
occasions. thereby giving the boy BARI
tone moments when he appears wooden
and inexpensive. That sin may be
easily forgiven, however, in view of
the endless virtues which offset 1t.
These compensations take the form
Of two splendid operate duets sung
by Miss Macdonald and Allan Jones
(of alone" fame), several solos by
the stars, sundry renditions of I'm
dian Love Call" that would soften
pawnbroker's heart, and two minor
incidents well handled by James Stew

to do with each other in the story.

laughter. Major credit for that phe-'
nomenon must be accorded a daft,
ably designed script and several par
ticularly skillful supporting perform
ances.
Mr.. Lloyd himself is still the grand
mas boy Of film comedians. His
technique Is simple almost to the
point Of childishness, pasteurized for
juvenile consumption and yet amaz-
ingly effective when applied to the
superior gags invented by his seem
artists. In 1.-THE Milky Way" he works
frenetically at being funny, and, un-
less was mistaken, the whoops, howls,
screams and bellows of joy that rent
the Fox air yesterday signified that
he was. The same racuous noises
were also in part tribute to Verree
Teasdale, Adolph Menjou and bear
ish gent named Lionel Stander, all
zanies Of the first order in this pic
ture.
1t would be unfair not to mention
likewise the jocular antics of a horse
named Agnes, for love of whom Mr..
Lloyd is inspired to abandon his career
as a milk-wagon driver and become
the most facetious and phony mid
