Transportation problems affecting

discussed last night by E. D. Merrill,
vice-president of the Capital Transit
Co., at a meeting of the Southwest
Citizens Association in No. precinct
station.
Citing the progress of the present
company, little over three years old,
he said, 1,060 vehicles are now oper-
eted during rush hours, whereas, be-
fore the merger of the two older
transit companies, only 760 units were
operated.
Organized in 1888. the company
started with capital of more than
$4,500,00o, all of which has been in
vested in improving service, Merrill
declared, adding that $2,700,000 has
been approved for Improvements dur
ing the coming year.
He said the earnings Of the new
company have been put back to pur-
chase new equipment and make i'm

Gorbo Superb In conquest
Boyer Shines As Napoleon,
In a Great Picture

Woven into the vigorous
fabric Of historical romance,
the love story Of Napoleon Bona
parte and the Countess Walew-
ska reaches the screen as Con
quest"
The little corporal who started
life with nothing, touched glory
and knew defeat, has long been
a favorite subject for novelists,
dramatiStS and players, since so
brilliant a career must hold all
the elements Of drama.
Conquest" is the story of a
generous love, having its begin
ming in worship and know
ing fulfillment; the devotion OF
Marie Walewska is an exquisite
chapter from the life of the am
bilious CorSican.
HANDSOMELY MOUNTED
The wife of an honored
Polish nobleman, Marie Walew
ska, who had heard stories Of
the greatness of Bonaparte and
learning that he, with his
retinue. would change horses in
the vicinity of her home,
slipped out into the night, shell
tered by a wayside shrine, to
gaze upon the man who made
Europe tremble.
Later, properly presented to
Napoleon, she caught his fancy,
and love for him was the out
growth of patriotic sacrifice.
Her marriage was annulled
while Napoleon divorced jose
phine, but in order that the
throne might have an heir Of
royal blood, Napoleon married
Marie Louise OF Austria, eligible
daughter of the house Of HapS-
burg.
BOYER IS MAGNIFICENT
Luck seemed to turn against
him; defeated, he was held a
prisoner at Elba, where the
faithful Marie Walewska came
to him with the child she had
borne him; he used her as
means Of communication to his
aides in France; he returned to
France and Waterloo. Then
came st. Helena and utter lone
illness, for he said good-by to his
love and the child of that love
before going into exile.
Garbo as Walewska is mag
nificent; the moods and color
ingS of her acting are exquisite
to see and know; never has she
been so breathleSsly dramatic,
nor so powerfully convincing as

OF all her pictures, Shirley

Deanna Durbin conscious.
For her second picture the
eminent Leopold StokowSki was
enlisted for prestige purposes.
100 Men and a Girl" proved to
be the happieSt kind of a blend
of symphonic music with a story
of universal appeal. With its
release Deanna Durbin took her
place in the ranks of the Holly
wood leaders, her beginner
salary of $3.50 a week was quickly
revised to $1,250 per week, plus
a $4,000 bonus for each picture
she makes. Deanna has arrived.
Both of the new stars are diff
ferent types from the mould in
which Hollywood usually finds
star dust. Their be- uty is
natural and fresh, they are
without artificial allure, and
they radiate charm and appeal.
The movie screen makes an IDEAL
vehicle for their specialized
talents.
POWER is FAVORITE
Paramount has Martha Ray
and Bob Burns as its biggest new
discoveries. Martha of the cav
ernous mouth was a $500 a week
comedienne Is months ago. To
day she is rated one of the best
box office draws on the zukor
roster and her income has ad-
vanced with her popularity.
Burns, with his quiet drawl and
laconic humor is the nearest to
Will Rogers type to come up
since the death of the humorist.
Tyrone Power proved to be the
most valuable new player IN
the Romeo class, followed closely
by Don Ameche, the latter hop
ping even faster as a redo IA
Vorite.
APPROVED BY AUDIENCES
Metro Goldwyn-Mayer elevated
Rosalind Russell to star stature,
is booming Judy Garland and
Lynne Carver. Warner Bros.
has Wayne Morris as its top
male discovery Of 1897; has quite
a few ingenues that may bud
into full flower in 1888. In this
latter class are Olivia de Havil-
land, Jane Bryant and Ann
Sheridan.
The significant feature about
the tremendous success of the
two principal screen finds Of
1887 is that neither was tabled
by the studios as a potential
skyrocket. They were actually
audience discoveries" which
makes their success an even
greater cause for Thanksgiving,
for 100000 people can't be
wrong.

This critic came to be disap-
pointed, and went away from
"Merry-Go-Round of 1888" at
Keith'S feeling very much re-
freshed, after having seen an
hilariouSly nonsensical picture.
"Merry-Go Rounds" story is
based on a most flimSy struc-

comedians of stage and screen,
makes up for that lack.

orphaned baby, who grows up to

trive to give a performance that
makes hilarity a woefully insult
ficient word for description.
FOUR COMICS FROLIC
The four fathers are song and
dance comedians from Grand
Street when the story opens in
1918. They continue to be down
and out until 1887, when their
grownup adopted daughter
meets q wealthy young man.
She has refused his offer Of
marriage 483 times on the
ground that her four fathers
need her.
How they contrive to convince
her that they are now in the
big dough, with the result that
she accepts, and what they do to
convince the boy friends Aunt
HortenSe that the girl, Sally, is
a lady Of noble ancestry, is as
funny as the four funsters.
