Heralded as an entirely different

Those High Grey Walls" comes

re tonight with Walter Connolly
heading the cast. Onslow Stevens
and Iris Meredith are also featured
in the thrilling drama of medicine.
murder and mystery within the
gates of large penitentiary. Di-
rected by Charles Vidor, whose
handling of Blind Alley" evoked
nation wide acclaim, the unusual
aspects of the plot are said to make
his latest effort an equally fine
film.
Connolly portrays a humane old
country doctor who is serving a
sentence for commission of an act
which while legally a crime, was
morally a fulfillment of the medi-
cal creed A faithful servant of So
ciety. he determinedly pursues his
idealistic way within a community
whose very makeup is anti-social
in character. An exciting conflict
results when he clashes with On
slow Stevens, the young prison
doctor, who rules the penitentiary
hospital with an iron hand.
An attempted prison break, a
hunger strike by the convicts and
an operation while under the muz-
zles of hostile guns are the tense
and thrill crammed elements which
have caused the storm of praise
with which Those High Grey
Walls" has been greeted. Contribut-
ing to the interest of the film is
an incipient romance between Stew
ems and Iris Meredith, the country
doctors daughter.

AP Feature Service Writer

NEW YORK, April 24-Herbert
Hoover extended warm heand,
pushed his swivel chair back from
his letter Uttered desk and relaxed.
He was sitting in his fourth-floor
office in a downtown skyscraper He
had been working hard all day on
Finnish and Polish relief matters
just as he worked once on Belgian
and Russian relief.
But, although he was busy, his
greeting was cordial and his smile
friendly.
This was Hoover, the man. Not
Mr. Hoover, the former President of
the United States.
His cheeks were glowing and his
eyes sparkling. He is S. He looked
10 years younger. He spoke softly,
but the words poured out in a steady
stream. He was as easy to talk to
as Joe, down at the barber shop.
He works 10 to IS hours day,
seven days a week, but he didn't show
any signs of strain.
MY complaints he said, are
economic, political and moral. They
take too long to tell have no phys
ical complaints because I received
physical discipline when was boy.
Like every other boy, I couldn't see
then why I should eat certain foods,
get SO much sleep every night and
abstain from things that weren't
good for me- But family discipline
was in force, and I have benefited
ever since
Father A Blacksmith
Hoover came from sturdy stock,
and that has stood him in good stead
His father was village blacksmith
He was orphaned when years old
While in his teens, he toiled in truck
gardens and as an office boy. He
knows what hard work means and
he is not afraid of it.
This is the way he outlines his
work day:
He arises promptly at am, has
breakfast. reads morning paper
and shows up precisely an hour later
at one of his three offices in the
same building here they care offices
connected with the relief work and
certain educational foundations, the
American Children's fund and the
Boys Clubs of America He works
steadily until noon, takes a little
time off for lunch, works until $50
or pm, then returns to his apart
ment. He eats dinner, summons a
stenographer and his secretary,
Lawrence Richey, who has been with
him many years. They pitch into the
mail until IL pm, or sometimes until
after midnight. At he is up again.
That goes on seven days week.
All his work has to do with charit-
able activities, or his trusteeships in
several educational and scientific
institutions.
Il have no business office he ex-
planned

But unless peace comes in the

There is still Tie possibility of

Much To Do
But modern war quickly flashes
