If the Boys in Blue have a lot of
explaining to do back home next
week about those ladies they took
around at the G. A. r. encampment,
they can blame the Daughters Of the
Union Veterans Of the Civil War
maybe.
1t seems that there weren't nearly
enough fathers with daughters at
the encampment here for last night S
father and daughter banquet at the
Washington Hotel, so the veterans
and members of the Daughters of
Union Veterans solved the problem by
borrowing" each other. And not .

Altogether the Daughters party was
a gay evening for the bearded vete-
rams, who scoffed at the hovering
care of their feminine companions
and said again and again they could
look out for themselves.

There was Charles L. Chappell, who

Texas-John Shearer of Houston
who had not one daughter, but two.

And there was the fellow with the

pleaded for the child's life regardless
Of consequences.
After comforting with friends and
his spiritual adviser, Tafel changed his
decision. The appearance at the hos
pital OF Richard Letter. healthy A.
year-old boy who had successfully
undergone an identical operation, was
the clinching argument.
An incision was made in the in
fants side, about an inch above the
hip, through which was inserted a
drain into the loop of the intestine to
provide an artificial outlet. Further
surgery several weeks hence will be
necessary to connect the end of the
colon with the natural outlet, physi-
clans said.
Agreed to Surgery.
Taffel said he agreed to the surgery

said the operation must restore the
child to health, not merely save his
life, to be proven justifiable.

chance which might make the boy

The Civil War was a boys war"

Easterly should know. He was only

ended and he was discharged with
four years Of service to his credit.

Easterly said that. although he had

"SOn Comes

At Columbia
Mary Boland Is Star
in Film Opening
Yesterday.

TT IS rather shame that the
Columbia does not operate under
/ a double-feature policy, for "A
L Son Comes Home" which opened
there yesterday, would be just ducky
as half of a double bill
The first reels of the film show
Mary Boland representing the Angel
of the Fish -Wharves" in San Fran
cisco. all got up in a manner that
indicated the Paramount people still
are looking for successor to M-G-M's
Marie Dressler. MARY Boland is got
up this way, not the fish-wharves.)
Wallace Ford also is present, repre-
senting a reporter by chewing on
cigar and wearing the same shirt for
the first four reels. Donald Woods
represents a fellow with a beard, and
a chap named Anthony Mace repre-
sents a murderer by shooting man.
1t seems Mary had son who ran
away Is years ago, and after the
murder committed by Mr.. Mace, Mr..
Woods tells Mary he's the son. so
he can get some one to help prove
his innocence. Mary knows right away
he is not her son, but she likes the
lad and since she is the Angel of
the Fish -Wharves" she tries to find
"the other man" OF course, you'd
never guess that the "other man."
when he is found, is Mary's real son,
nor would you believe without seeing
it that Mary stands by the lad who
is innocent. You'd never guess all
this if you hadn't been to at least
six photoplays and thereby learned
the ways of scenario writers.
In its favor "a Son Comes Home"

Boland, whose fine Interpretation of
the reactions of mother to all these

Radio gives more to film folk than
money-it gives them a chance to
prove to their studios they can act
different roles from those they are
assigned in pictures.
Jack Oakie, for example, has been
telling Paramount for years that he Is
a dramatic as well as comic actor.
He proved it a few Mondays ago in
the airing of "One Sunday Afternoon"
originally bought for him three years
ago, but given by Paramount to Gary
Cooper. r. K. O.-Radio, to which
Oakie Is now under contract, has
promised. as a result of the broadcast,
to give him more serious roles.

years to appear on the screen in THE

bought the script and is considering
him for the star. Grace Moore's
secret passion is to play "Trilby'' in

them himself.
Now he is in Hollywood to stay. He
has signed a long-term contract with
R-K-O Radio. His two children Ora
and Robert, are in the film colony with
him and he has established what he
expects to be a permanent home.
Is he homesick for Broadway? Yes,
he is sometimes, but let him tell the

TRUE, it is too long. No film should
be that long. But then it had to
be. After all, nobody ever quite dared
to suggest that Anthony Adverse" be
made into a short"
The actors are better in the briefer
roles than in the larger. Edmund
Gwen as Bonney Feather, young Billy
Mauch as the 10-year-old Anthony,
Claude Rains as Don Luis, Anita
Louise, who had to die too early In
the film, and Louis Hayward as her
lover "a young English actor who has
never gotten what he deserved in
Hollywood)-all of these are splen-
didly cast, and perform splendidly at
all times.
To us Mr.. March seems slightly
calm about it all, but then we may be
wrong-probably are. And Miss De
Haviland is young and slim and beau
tiful without sometimes having the
force that we somehow imagined
Angela always had. Napoleon is good,
and so is Donald Woods as Vincente
Nolte.
In fact, most every one is good. So
go and see it. But take your break
fast, lunch and supper. Dig in for
the day-only in that way can you
enjoy it in the manner in which it
should be enjoyed.

Just why all the enthusiasm, it is
not very easy to decide, on due refiec-
tion. (Overdue. mebbe) The tale Is
full of trite situations, merely dis
guised in war bonnets, coonskin caps
and the pretty red coats the British
soldiers used to wear when they came
to do battle against the French and
Indians in America. The disguise
isn't very thick. yet it lends certain
zest to love affairs, scenes in which
white squaw plunges over cliff rather
than face worse than death consist
ing this time of a brave from the
wrong tribe of Indians-she's in love
with Mohican warrior, but Huron?
NeverD and the scalping parties
which were so much cozier and per-
sonal than our mass warfare.
One of the principal theories of the
drama Is that one good American
pioneer could lick any 10 redcoat
Johnny Bulls in the world, and that
the British looked very sappy when
they went in for Injun fighting. A
sound idea, doubtless. Just as the
pioneers would have struck a sour
note trying to pull of the change of
guard at Buckingham Palace.

THE especial pioneer who can and
does lick the Injuns, make mon
keys of the British high command and
offer himself up as a human sacrifice
in place of his beloved when she has

straight-shooting lad full up to the

sonating the daughter of the colonel
Of the British forces. The other men,
bers of the cast have not quite so
much fun, being compelled to go
about muttering ugh, me big chief"
or pretending to be very obtuse Brit
ishers. Bruce Cabot shows up with
all his hair shaved of and acts
exceedingly unpleasant in this slip
perry guise, while Robert Barrat and
Philip Reed have donned big, black
wigs to represent the last of the
Mohicans and the next to last,
respectively.
Perhaps it doesn't sound as if we
meant to imply as much, but THE
Last of the Mohicans" is really good
fun in its primitive way. Fine for
children and those to whom the
sound of tomahawk chopping into
human meat is sweet music.
THE Capitol stage show gets off to
such roaring start this week that
the rest of the acts have tough time
catching up. Carl Emmy and his
phenomenal dog act raise the curtain

Film at Metropolitan Is Fourth
Revival Of Late Comedians
Work to Be Seen Here.

The current screening of "State
Fair" adapted from Phil Stong's
novel, marks the fourth time this
year that Will Rogers films have been
revived at downtown theaters. The
large audience at the Metropolitan hast
night would indicate that exhibitors
are wrong in thinking the public
might reject the posthumous work of
such favorite as morbid.
The film is full of Rogers simple
humor, Janet Gaynors Alice Ben Bolt
sweetness, puppy love, and Norman
Foster.
Louise Dresser and Rogers act rings
around the younger generation-in-
cluding Lew Ayres, who looks younger
than he did in the distant days OF
