''Rhodes, The Empire Builder, :"
starring Walter Huston, given q
premiere at the Metropolitan The
alter last night, is the story OF o
man possessed Of a dream. 1t Is
O picture Of tremendous sweep.
Within the scope Of this British
Gaumont film Is the life history
of a man, condemned to death,
who nevertheless set out to achieve
an unselfish ambition.
The film is based on the book,
Cecil Rhodes" by Sarah Gertrude
Millin, and the film makers have
achieved q noteworthy success.
This film runs counter, in many
particulars, to accepted Holly
wood standards and gains much
thereby. A great story, well told,
needs no other establishment.
No Heart Interest
Yet the film Is spectacular In
many of its scenic effects. The
high white clouds over the South
African veldt, the tremendous
leagues of rolling country and the
great wind-swept hilltops are
shown and will linger in the mem
DRY as things Of ineffable beauty
The narrative moves directly
along its path. The rise Of Rhodes
into power Is pictured in success
sive and logical steps. No compro'
mise Is made with audience Senti
ment. The narrative goes straight
on to the end-to the resignation
of Rhodes from his posts Of power
and to his death.
There is no heart interest, SC
called, in the entire film. But
there is high adventure and many
thrilling scenes Of action.
Spectacular Effects
No, this is by no means an or
binary picture. It moves across
the screen with all the grip
ping power of a page Of history
brought to vivid and red-blooded
life.
And most notable Of all the
films many notable qualities
are the vivid characterizations
These are things that must be
seen. A good characterization il
good acting and good acting is 9
thing that the printed word fall
to convey.

STRONG DEFENSE
GIVEN GUFFEYA ACT
u. S. and Pennsylvania Meet
! Operators Challenge in
Supreme Court.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
A strongly worded challenge of the
eonstitutionality of the Guffey coal
act by &c mine operators yesterday
collided before the Supreme Court
with elaborate defense arguments pre-
sented by the Federal Government and
the State of Pennsylvania.
In the Governments brief, Solicitor
General Stanley Reed asserted that
unless the legislation intended to reg
ulate the soft-coal industry, through
''ittle N. r. A." was upheld. labor
instability and unrest" and "recurrent
industrial warfare" were likely to con-
tinue.
Whole Nation Faces Grave Peril.
Pennsylvania, through its attorney
general. Charles j. Magiotti. contended
the act was "the only way out of a
situation that is fraught with grave
peril not only to the % States con-
cerned, but to the whole Nation as
we'll"
On the other hand. the operators in
sisted the law was wholly void" and
arbitrary, unreasonable, and ca
PRECIOUS" Their brief was prepared
by John w. Davis, 1924 Democratic
presidential nominee, and 18 other
lawyers.
After the briefs had been presented,
the court held its usual Saturday
afternoon conference to dispose of
pending business preparatory to to-
morrows session when opinions will
be handed down. At that time, the
justices may announce their decision
on the Governments antitrust suit
against the Sugar Institute.
For two hours Tuesday, the nine
justices will hear arguments on con-
stitutionality of the New Deals 1898
act to regulate sale of stocks.
Seven Hours for Argument
On the next day seven hours of
argument will begin on the Guffey
act.
Former Federal Judge Charles I,
Dawson and Frederick H. Wood, New
York attorney, who successfully
argued for the Governments gold
clause legislation and against N. r. A.
in the Supreme Court, will represent
the mine owners.
<AooASeaiiV nItolLC oelleIdl JOHN
Dickinson will appear for the Govern
ment
In its brief yesterday. the Govern
ment asserted denial of the right to
organize and bargain collectively IS a
direct cause of repeated strikes"
IF Federal power extends to the
strikes themselves, as has been held"
1t added. Congress certainly may deal
with their melting cause"
Two Contentious Offered,
The operators presented two con-
tentions:
THE act is wholly void for the rea-
son that it is not confined in opera
tion and effect to transactions in or
directly affecting interstate commerce.
THE act, by its arbitrary, unreason-
able and capricious terms. deprives
producers of liberty and property with
out due process of law in violation of
the fifth amendment
The Guffey act was challenged by
James Walter Carter. West Virginia
and Virginia operator, and by the r.
c. Tway Coal Co. and other Kentucky
concerns.
In the Carter case, the District ST.
preme Court held the act constitu-
tional, but declared invalid sections
regulating wages and hours.
The Western Kentucky Federal Dis
trict Court upheld the act in its en-
tirety in deciding the Tway case.

COINCIDENCE?


THE facts in this case seem to H.
lustrate the tremendous power
Of suggestion, or. If not that. a
4 strange coincidence. In any
event, this actually happened last
week to a reporter and hotel man,
who. for obvious reasons. must remain
anonymous. The story, however, Is
given in good faith.
The two had persuaded themselves
to refrain from toll and were dis
cussing politics and highballs in a
cocktail room. They exhausted the
topic, but the liquor held out, and
the talk took a personal turn. The
reporter began to feel sorry for him.
self.
He even enumerated his misfor-
tunes, which included a mysterious
illness. He said the illness was some
thing new, went into great detail re-
garding symptoms and mentioned the
name of the doctor who was to dag
nose the ailment.
The hotel man had drunk enough
cocktails to feel sympathetic. As he
listened he himself began to feel a
twinge of pain in the region men,
toned by his companion.
