Negro Singers
Give Spirituals
Fisk Jubilee Ensemble Is
Heard at Church.

Heirs to the tradition of fine
singing of "spirituals," the seven
young men of the Fisk Jubilee
Singers, with their director, Mrs
James A. Myers, appeared in con-
cert at Third Christian Church last
night. The recital, for the benefit
of the Second Christian Church,
drew an audience that filled the
large auditorium and received each
number with great enthusiasm.
Negro spirituals made up the
bulk of the program, contrasted by
group consisting of 81 Want to

Inc AmerlCanOS brought to
California, where the Mexicans titled
their soil in peace, all the greed, al,
the hatred, all the passion that
gold rush could produce. In these
mad times Murrieta and his beauti-
full, young wife Rosita (Margo)
found themselves, found too that
their destiny was no longer their
own.
Invaders Stay Wife
Murrieta was unfortunate in own
a farm rich with gold. The Amer
icanos" knew the gold was theirs,
proved it by killing Rosita when
Murrieta tried to defend his prop
erty. With sufficient reason to seek
revenge, peace-loving Murrieta went
to his one American friend, Bill
Warren Bruce Cabot, who told
him about the law that some day
would be enforced in California.
Not understanding Murrieta with
held his revenge, went to live with
his brother. But peace was not for
him. He was whipped numerically
for the hideous crime of being
Mexican" and his brother was
hanged for trying to keep his mule
from being stolen.
Desperate, Murrieta joined BAN
dit gang, and became its leader in
% fight to enforce the one law he
knew, that of self preservation. 1t
was, of course, his only American
friend, Bill Warren, who succeeded
finally in shooting him down.
Baxter Performs Well
While the picture is extremely
sad, there is gayety in the beautiful
scenes of Southern California noun
tains, in picturesque camps of the
Mexican bandits. Mr.. Baxter does
well with the story, an old one.
Ann Loring, as Juanita de la Cues
ia, the lovely daughter of wealthy
Mexican, who joins Murrieta in his
fight for justice, adds life to the pic
ture. Good also is j. Carol Naish
as Three Fingered" Jack, bandit
lieutenant, who kills for the love of
killing, but with much good humor.
The second picture at Loews, you

ern, Lloyd Nolan, Douglass Dunn

of crime in radio, in which an ex-
perimental sending set is used to in
terfere with program reception to
the extent it's operator collects vast
sums to quit broadcasting. Romance
and heroism play their part in a
picture far short of being first rate.

MIR. CrOnK1Je doesn't look at all
like Mars. He is middle-aged and
wears gold-rimmed glasses, is soft
spoken and mild-mannered.' Artil-
lery engagements are his livelihood,
but his real passion is collecting
stamps.
He has three kinds of battles in
stock-open field, siege-o fort, and
naval. The latter are the toughest
to stage, and often are done in
miniature.
All screen battles are fought with
special, non-commercial types of
explosives. For example, shells
which are detonated by hitting the
ground must give off bright flashes,
but the noise isn't important, be-
cause the explosions are dubbed in
later.
Uses Miniature Guns
Scenes showing big guns in &C
ton frequently are made in NINA
ture, with small cannon which boom
with all the fine, rich resonance of
a cap pistol. The heavy smoke
OVERLAPPING most battle scenes doesn'o
come from guns, but from smudge-
pots, concealed here and there.
Aerial fireworks serve as sky
flares, and bursting shrapnel are
initiated by special Cronkite shells
actually fired from mortars. They
contain chemicals which spray
down realistically enough to scare
the dayilghts out of any ex-infan-
tryman.
If you provide the locale and the
men, Cronkite will put on me-
diminished scrap for you for $4,000.
For this he will use about 500 pounds
of explosives. However, if you want
to hurl couple of whole armies
at each other, along with earth
shaking bombardments, advance
barrageS, and gas, the cost is like
ly to run to $4,000.
BattIefields Available
Pictures such as "Ali Quiet" and
What Price Glory?" require sew
eral tons of bang-up material.
Near Hollywood there are Is
battlfelds, ranging in area from two
to several hundred acres, which
may be rented for martial argu-
ments. They're all covered with
trenches and Shell-holes and barbed
wire. Only the shell-holes aren't
made by shells, but are excavated
by shell-hole diggers.
Before battle these are covered
with flimsy wooden platforms, which
in turn are covered with dust and
sand. Explosives send up showers
of earth and debris, and the gaping
holes remain. Very effective.
Cronkite, who hates war, congrat-
ulates himself that so far his battles
have been practically bloodless, al

The actor is searching for his
mother.
She may not even be alive. At
the founding home where Ford was
received as an infant, it was under

days after his birth.
But he feels that she is alive. It's
one of those lunches that optimists
and Sentimentalists have.
Letter Began Search
Her name may be Catherine
Jones, or Grundy, or anything else
if she Happens to have married
again. She may live in the Lime
house district of London, where Ford
presumably was born on Feb. II,
1889, or she may live in your block.
An unsolicited letter from wom-
an in London started him on this
search. She claimed to be his aunt,
and declared that Catherine Jones
is still living. So far, Ford has con-
fined his quest to advertisements in
London newspapers and inquiries to
the English police.
He has received lot of letters,
most of them obviously from people
whose imaginations have been slim
ulated by the knowledge that WAL
lace Ford, orphan, is making a lot
of money in Hollywood.

His real name isn't Ford at all.
He was received at the Bernardo

boys, he was sent to Canada and
there bound out to farmers.

While leading a semi hoboish
existence, going from one job to an

itinerant named Wallace Ford. They
were close pals. While beating their
way across Iowa, Ford was crushed
when load shifted in a freight car.
He died in his friends arms.
The friend, who even then sus-
pected that he was destined for an
acting career, took the name of

Suitor Wins
Merry Race
After Lady
Dashing CaroIe Lombard Is
Pleasing in Film With
Preston Foster.
BY JOHN w. THOMPSON

Although there is very little love
and much less breakfast, Love Be-
fore Breakfast" at the Indiana,
lacks little else.
In this one we have Miss Lombard
Jlst about where every one wants
her, dashing about in bathrobe or
fancy dress and part of the time
with gorgeous black eye.
The black eye, which Preston Fos-
ter delivers, bothers us. The adj
VertisementS play it up, so we ex-
pected something real. 1t does look
real, but when she first displays it,
It's her right eye. The next morn
ing the camera momentarily reveals
1t as her left eye. Then the next
scene finally decides that it shall
be her right eye, and there it stays.
Clears Out Competition
Kay Colby miss Lombard, a gay
young thing with mind of her
own, has a hard time lodging Scott
Miller (Mr. FOSTER, a rich young
man. She thinks she loves one of
his employees, Bill Wadsworth Cesar
Romero), so Scott sends Bill to ia
pan, leaving the field open for him
self. Unwittingly. he tells Kay his
plans and she walks out on him.
The picture is occupied with
clever, little tricks the principals
play on each other. Extremely
amusing, too many details here
might spoil your fun. One of the
funniest goes like this:
Forcing himself upon her, Scott
takes Kay to a fancy dress ball.
There Kay meets a boy friend of
hers who has been anchored to a
chattering Southern miss for the
evening. Kay paWns the girl off on
Scott. First she tells each of them
that the other is deaf. The subse-
quent shouting between the two is
good for barrel of outlaws.
One of Seasons Best
Scott, after taking it on the chin,
finally gets his girl. Bill, back from
Japan, gets bad cold, a hangover
and countess with yen for Pek-
ingese pups. The audience gets one
of the best comedies of the season.
Preston Foster, away from things
like Last Days of Pompeii," shows
he is good for better parts. Cesar
Romero is seen briefly, but effective
ly, as Is Janet Beecher, whose movie
stock has gone up since her role in
THE Dark Angel"
A lively and entertaining Eng
lish-made musical, First A Girl"

that Britons and Americans never
have been able to agree on what
