and it only remains for the action
to show how that solution may be
acquired.
Illusions Stand Out
Although Mr.. and Mrs. Huston's
portrayals stand far above those
of the rest of the cast, comedy roles
are skilfully drawn by Harlan Briggs
as Dodworth's former classmate,
"Tubby," and Paul Porter as A. B.
Hurd, the back-slapping London
salesman for Dodsworth's company.
1t is Lucille Fentons playing of Mrs.
Dodsworth which seems to be most
out of line. 1t doesn't seem that
Dodsworth could have made the
mistake of marrying her, if she
was as impossible as Miss Fenton
paints her.
Mr.. Huston said yesterday that
the stage hands are the real stars
of our show" and after seeing the
rapidity with which the complicated
production is run off, one is inclined
to agree in part.
1t is Mr.. Huston's show from the
first scene, which he plays almost
entirely with his back to the au-
dience. This veteran actor, proud of
his vaudeville days when he used to
play Keith's Theater with a comedy
skit, has won his way into the hearts
of most of us. And in "Dodsworth, :"
as in Gabriel Over the White
House." one of his best pictures, he
seems to inject his own philosophy
into the role he plays.

Wnen Mr.. Reuter- heard that a

his services to Conductor Ferdinand

Rubinstein D Minor Concerto with

season.

confidence in the orchestra for in a

The act begins with considerable
billing and cooling. on the part of
"Hollywood's happiest couple" but
the cooling disappears when sign
on the stage reveals that Miss Dan
iel's billing" is above her husbands,
and in much larger letters.
The act is brief but entertaining.
Ben does an amusing job of self
effacement, and Miss Daniels, as
we already have remarked, is even
more attractive than on the screen.
She sings some popular songs and a
medley from Rio Rita" in which
she starred.
The rest of the bill offers some
old favorites in a welcome return.
Professor LAMBERT, mad genius" of
the xylophone, is back with his red
undershirt, tail coat and hilarious

Althoff does his old time fiddling act,
including "trills, piZzicato and feel

Candles toGive
Film Tomb Light
Director to Use Tapers for
Romeo and Juliet

Times Specif5
HOLLYWOOD, March 14-Only
the light of the four ordinary candles
is to be used for filming the tomb
scene of Romeo and Juliet" in
which Leslie Howard and Norma
Shearer play the leading roles.
For a month, William Daniels,
chief cameraman, studied lighting
effects and found that four tapers
produced the ethereal beauty which
he was seeking.
"Only by candlelight,' says Mr..
Daniels, can this scene be filmed
with full dramatic power. A scene
is painted with lights, just as an
artist uses colors to capture sun
set or sunrise on canvas. BY lights,
a setting can be made gay or sad"
The tomb itself is reproduction
of an underground burial crypt in
Verona, which dates back to the
Eighth century
In the supporting cast are John
Barrymore, Edna May Oliver, Basil
Rathbone, Reginald Denny, c..
Aubrey Smith, Andy Devine and
many others.

millionaire, as the lover. And about

Berlin with a handsome fop named
Kurt Won Obersdorf, who fails to get
his mothers permission TO marry
Mrs. Dodsworth.
Sam, occupied boyishly in drink

Takoma Park Citizens Against
Abandonment for Bus
Service.

Opposition to the abandonment OF
the Third and Kennedy streets rail
service of the Capital Transit Co. in
favor of buses was voiced last night
at a meeting of the Takoma Park
Citizens Association. held in the Ia
koma Public Library.
A resolution of Chester c. Waters,
chairman of the Public Utilities Com
mittee of the association, which was
unanimously adopted, set forth in
part that the organization has con-
sistently opposed any proposal to
eliminate or reduce street car service
between Laurel and Eastern avenues,

and Colorado avenue. 1T has been
consistently supported in this posi-

doubtedly it will continue during the
remaining two weeks. One reason
is that returns from large cities do not
vet appear as fully as returns from
rural districts. Chicago has not yet
appeared. Only q small portion OF
the returns from New York and Phila-
delphia have appeared. Everybody
agrees that returns from the large
cities will, speaking generally, favor
Mr.. Roosevelt.
At the same time, most OF the
Digest returns must be already In.
They sent out 10 ,OOO, 900 ballots. Over
IT Der cent have already been re-
turned. The total returned. according
to past experiences, Is likely to be
somewhat over 20 per cent, but less
than rs per cent.
Giving weight to all the factors.
it seems q tenable guess that the Dr.
gest poll, when complete. will give
Landon something like 52.8 per cent
of the total vote, Mr.. Roosevelt some
thing like 42.5 per cent. This would
forecast q strong Republican victory.
Objection Discounted.
Various objections have been made
to the Digest poll. One, frequently
heard, is that the Digest gets the
bulk of its names from telephone and
automobile registration lists. Hence,
1t is argued, the Digest does not get
q due proportion Of its names from
the lower economic stratum. those on
relief or others who do not have
automobiles or telephone. 1t is argued
further that in the latter stratum Mr..
Roosevelt is especially strong.
To this, one answer is that the
premise is not correct. The Digest
does not rely wholly on telephone
and automobile lists. In the large
cities, where such lists might not be
q fair cross-section of the population,
the Digest follows a different method.
In the present poll they have polled
every third voter in Chicago, Phila-
delphia and other large cities. In
some smaller cities, they have polled
every voter.
To all objections TO the Digest poll,
the broad answer is that it has been
right before, again and again. The
answer is that the conditions thought
to be new this year were duplicated in
some of the previous years in which
Digest polls turned out correct. For
example, the conditions about relief
voters today were already in existence
in 1884 And in that year Digest
poll OF California was correct in pre-
dieting that Democratic candidate for
Governor, Upton Sinclair, would be
beaten, although California had an
especially large number of persons on
relief and consequently many observ-
ers thought Sinclair would win.
Has Many Believers.
In short, believers in the Digest poll
believe in it strongly. They regard the
managers of the Digest poll as having
acquired by long experience the proper

petition with BUSES. Any improve
ment whatever in the rail service
would increase the proportion Of street
car riders" it stated
In the course Of discussion several
speakers told of the unsatisfactory
service and of the uncertainty Of bus
service and schedules. 1t was pointed
out that owing to the present crowded
condition Of the buses residents south
of Takoma Park were unable to Sc
cure passage the mornings for this
reason.
The association adopted resolu-
ton expressing regret at the resig-
nation of Peoples Counsel William A.
Roberts, and comending him for the
enthusiastic and unfiagging zeal he
had shown in promoting the con-
sumers' welfare.

ISSUE IN CAMPAIGN
New Deal is "Red Herring''
Administration, Says Col.
Breckenridge.

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa, October IT,
Col. Henry Breckenridge of New York
said last night the issue Of the present
campaign was i"the maintenance of
the Constitution and the integrity Of
the Supreme Court in its great role OF
shield and buckler Of our liberties"
Breckenridge, in q speech prepared
for q meeting Of the independent
coalition of American women, said
Gov. ALI M. Landon will strike down
the striped w. P. A.-U. s. A. signs
>; will free the unemployed from
their political chains and strive .
to restore them to self-respecting en-
ployment.'
Red Herring Administration.
He called the New Deal administra-
ton the red herring administration
of American political history"
He cited former Gov. Alfred E.
Smiths stand against the New Deal.
Forty years in the public life Of
the Empire State and none can lay a
finger on one single act OF doubtful
honor while the record Of his service
Is blazoned on the recent political
history Of New York." Breckenridge
said.
Gov. Smith has made very good
job Of showing up all the red herrings
the New Deal spread on the trail" he
added. He charged the New Deal
turned loose the Washington propa-
ganda machine to smear him with
every sort Of epithet and insinuation''
as an answer to Smiths arguments.
Landon Has Been ToiIer.
"Gov. Landon knows and sympa-
thizes with the problems Of the toiler
at first hand because he has been q
toiler." Breckenridge said.
What the New Deal does not tell
you Is that he will restore the in
tegrity Of the Civil Service which the
New Deal has destroyed He will keep
his hands free from being soiled by
the political exploitation of the ca
lamity Of the unemployed. He will
bring economy, common sense, de-
cency and orderliness into the admin
istration Of the affairs Of Government.
He will preserve, protect and defend
the Constitution in accordance with
his oath of Office"
