Negro lynch sentiment worked w
by the newspapers over the brutal
murder of Mary Harriet Case. !,
Among several passers-by ques-

the opinion that he was guilty. Their,
comment follows: 49, = 800
MRS. MATTE CASE, 308 West

TENANT FAR ssatfs5 IS JgGlE


DALLAS, Tex, Jan. 80 [ By. Elaint
Ellis for CHA Government action
to aid tenants without delay wa:
urged by j. r. Butler, president Of
the Southern Tenant Farmers Union,
at a farm tenancy hearing held here
in Connection with President Roose
Helt's committee on fafln tenancy
Butler, and other members of.tl1e
union pointed out The large proper
ton OF tenants in Oklahoma, Arlkan-
sas and other states. He suggested
that land be purchased by the govern
ment and sold to the tenants without
profit.
A graduated land tax, federal loans,
and exemptions of homesteads from
taxation was suggested by Tom. w.
Cheek, president of the Farmers
Union Of Oklahoma.
Less liberal suggestions to relieve
the tenant situation included tax re-
lief, crop rotation, and provision OF
money at low interest rates.

Second Week

Stage Door
Film Is Brilliantly
Written, Played
And Directed.

'ROM the heartaches and the
E hopes that live with a girl on
the threshold of stage career
Edna Ferber and George Kauf-
man wrought a rather brilliant stage
play. Stage Door" was full of COM
passion for striving young actresses
on one hand, full of savagery aimed
at Hollywood on the other. 1t was
bright entertainment, if it didn't get
around to proving much. Then Hol-
lywood took Stage Door," cast aside
the jibes at Hollywood, kept only the
story of the stage, nurturing it tender
ly. bringing to fullness all its warmth,
its humor and its pathos. If you
would see fine example of the screen
beating the stage at the stages own
game, as 1t were, you may do so at
Keith's, where Hollywoods Stage
Door" is now in its second week
Stage Door" is distinguished
screen entertainment in every phase
of its makeup. The script writer's, to
make it fame far more brilliantly on
the screen than it did on the stage,
retained only the setting and char
acters-a group of young hopefuls liv-
ing in a theatrical boarding club while
grasping for careers on the stage
and for the purposes Of the cinema
idiom told new story Of fun and
heartaches and good times and bad.
Stage Door" is acted with supreme
brilliance, too However much truth
there was to the rumors Of rift be-
tween Miss Ginger Rogers and Miss
Katharine Hepburn during the film
leading roles was an inspiration. The
result of the competition is that both
have outdone anything in their past
cinema careers. Miss Hepburn shows
her tormentors that she knows a
whole lot more about acting than they
have given her credit for not knowing
and she plays Terry Randall instead
| Of Katharine Hepburn. And what's
more she plays Terry with deep feel
ing bringing into play a wealth of
| emotion. No less excellent is Ginger
Rogers intelligent playing, ever in
the proper mood, of the girl who hides
warm heart and considerable COM
mon sense beneath tough skin and
a veneer Of biting. sardonic humor.
Gregory La Cava's direction, super
lative throughout, reaches its apex
and gives Stage Door" its greatest
force in the powerful sequence where
one young actress, losing a role she
has her heart set on. gives some last
minute coaching to the rich girl who
takes the part away from her, then
goes to death Of heartbreak. while
the other girl, with the knowledge of
the tragedy on her soul, steps on the
stage for her first night. Andrea
Leeds forceful and completely believ-
able performance as the girl who loses
the game Of life adds to these scenes
q punch the cinema seldom holds and
Mr.. La Cava and his players have dis
titled into them all the pathos there Is
in the struggle of the theater.
Stage Door," as you may have
gathered, Is q great picture. See it.

Conquest" Returns

CONQUEST" which returned yes.
terday to the Columbia for a
third week on F street, provides Greta
Carlo not only with her usual story
OF beautiful, futile love but with the
most lavish background in her vivid
career as the screens most seductive
lady 1t is Napoleon she loves this
time as the Countess Walewska and
M-G-M spent fortune setting their
romance against glitter entirely
fitting for world (almost) conouerer.
The background, however, is not
allowed to intrude upon the drama
OF the story Of this great love, sup
posed to be the one true romance
in Napoleon's life. The reason it is
not allowed to do so is to be found
in the Interpretation of the major roles
by Miss Garbo and Charles Boyer
The latter, as Napoleon, not only gives
the finest performance of his career,
but actually eclipses the playing Of the
lady who made unrequited love he,
exclusive domain in fiImdom.
Boyer's Napoleon not only is one
who conquers Europe, but also one
who is the victim Of his dreams Of
conquest, a victor nearly always on
the battlefield. the vanquished In his
desire to win the lovely Polish Count

spectacular terms. But terms not too
spectacular to make you oblivious Of
the fact that a great story is being
