Lone Wolf

THE Lone Wolf Returns" a
Columbia picture starring Melvyn
Douglas, opens next Friday at
Warner Brothers Metropolitan
Theater. Roy William Neill di-
rected this new adventure of the
famous character created by Louis
Joseph Vance.
In the supporting cast, Gail
Patrick has the leading feminine
role of an heiress and jewel col.
lector, whose valuable gems are
first stolen and then returned and
protected against his own con-
federates by the suave Lone Wolf.
Melvyn Douglas is said to- be
ideally fitted to the role of the
Lone Wolf, a character introduced
to the screen some years back by
Bert Lytel.
Others in the cast of THE Lone
Wolf Returns" include Tala Birell,
Henry Mollison, Thurston Hall,
Raymond Walburn and Douglas

king. The kidnapping is done and
before you know it the soldier and
the boy king are closer friends
than two thieves. And if you don't
laugh land thrilD at the tall
yarns he spins for the little king,
then you have never really been a
boy.
Romance is introduced by Gloria
Stuart in the role of governess to
the little king, and Michael
Whalen, who does a swell char
acterization as the rich young
man in search Of adventure-and
does he get it?
For this excellent film we are
indebted to the direction of Tay
Garrett. It is a Twentieth Cen.
fury Fox production.
Subsidiary roles are played by
Constance Collier, C. Henry Cor
don, Pedro De Cordoba and Dixie
Dunbar.
Kazanova On Stage
Deservedly taking headline place
in the stage show is Kazanova
and her Tziganes. This is a re-
freshing change of pace in stage
music, after Ions stretches OF
hearing jazz bands. Kazanova, a
vivid brunette with a personality
that dominates the stag, gives us
an interlude of music that will
appeal to the classicist as well as
the modern.
Her band, constituted of IS
pieces, all strings, presents a pro.
gram that is rich in >erve and
fire. It smacks strongly. of
course, of the Russian school. The
selections mostly are in rapid
tempo and uniformly well rem
dered.
Kazanova herself is we'll worth
seeing-as a person and person

CRUSADE OVER INDIRECT TAX

Source of Revenue Will, However, Continue Into

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2l.-Public- ly there is veritable moral crusade against tha suddenly awful thing, the indirect tax. Privately, how ever. those tax eperts who for years have sweated to find new sources of revenue to pay for the ever increas- ing load of benefits foresee indirect taxes continuing into the long dis tant future.
 The question of direct or indirect taxation is not one which concerns only Congress. The states as well are brought persistenly face to face with the question of whether te clap on tax that every voter vii see and kick about or let him be- come acquainted with the tax in

by levying it upon some business or industry which in turn will levy it upon the public.
 CALLED ACADEMIC MATTER
 To many the matter of indirect taxes seems quite academic A cor porate income tax is a direct tax upon corporation, but few doubt that such a tax often is passed on to the consumer in the price of the corporations products.
 Even direct taxation develops queer quirks. Across Southern Ida ho lie the highly taxable rails of the Oregon Short Line Blaine County is far from the main line, but needs money for schools and highways. So, like a long arm, one strip of Blaine County reaches clear around the county that lies between it and the railroad. By that means it reaches 15-mile strip of main lien railroad upon which levy a direct tax.
 But does the New Yorker. nib bling at an Oregon apple hauled across that Is miles of railroad know that part of the freight on the apple went to taxes and that he is helping to pay for Blaine County schools and roads?
