STARS ACCLAIM
 ROLES IN FILM NOW AT CAPITOL.
One of Two in a Crowd Tells Tale of Frac-
 tional Horse

The completion of the Road to Glory" Twentieth Century Fox picture now at the Capitol Theatre, was marked by an unusual discus sion in which each of the stars, Frederic March, Warner Baxter and Lionel Barrymore, all agreed that it was one of the most interesting films in which they had ever ap- peared.
 ! An actors field day" was the way March described the production. Every emotion, including love, hate fear and heroism, is portrayed and affords the leading players the op- portunity to really perform 1 T think my part is the outstand- | ing characterization I have had since A Free Soul" said Lionel Barrymore. The role will always be one of the highlights of my screen career"
 Warner Baxter stated that hence forth he definitely would seek only
  man has only so many years to be starred, he said, and I think that my career will be longer and more varied if I continue to play roles like the one I portray in The Road to Glory"
 k A noteworthy cast supports the three stars in the film including June Lang and Gregory Ratoff Howard Hawkes. directed with Nu- nally Johnson associate producer l Joel McCrea started the yarn of the fractional horse. He told it first to an interviewer while he was completing the filming of his role in Uniyersals "Two's in a Crowd g now at the Coliseum Theatre. Re- plying to his interviewer's question about the sort of character he DOT traays in the picture, McCrea said
 Well, he's this kind of a fellow He believes the world is half an oyster. Then he orders it served to him on the half shell. But he gets the wrong half.
 He gets halves of quite a few things, including half of a thousand dollar bill. The other part is owned by the girl he admires. That makes him pawn of love, or fate, or some- thing. The comedy of the picture springs from natural human errors made by a young man up to his ears in love.
 But the funniest situations arise from the fact that he owns a frac- tional horse. No, I don't mean a fractious horse, or the one that runs distances in fast fractional time I mean a fractional horse. His name? Oh, call him '67s'
 At the beginning of the story he owns half of this animal, the re- maining portion belonging to the man he owes a gill for feeding the horse. Since the galloping gee-gee cannot be separated into sections, the fellow who feeds him owns more and more of the old hayburner, and the original owner possesses less. Ev- cry time the nag eats, the percent age changes; sort of an inconstant fraction on a sliding scale. Yes, sir, that is what the experts call a i fractional horse. He becomes a whole horse again as soon as he eats up his own value in hay and oats.
 The motto on the horsemans crest is, Half grand, half horse, half a feed onward"

Only $40 in fines and court

cases tried in county police court
for the first full month since
States Attorney General Herbert

O'Conor's ruling deprived the

cases and gave that right to the
justices of the peace. The court
now tries only cases involving
violations other than traffic. Fines

totaled $926.60.
