Jones Dead Set Upon Triumph;
Great Battle Seen When His
Aces Play Ryder Cuppers

CHICAGO, Aug. 2.-ThereT be
plenty of bearing down by both
sides when the Ryder Cup profess
sionals battle BOBBY Jones' chal-
lengers at Detroit August 1924 in
their United Service Organizations
benefit match.
Forecasting COLTS most hotly
contested series in years, President
Tom Walsh of the Professional
Golfers Association said Jones
wanted to win this one as much or
more than he ever wanted to win
any of his National Open titles.
"I heard from him the other day."
Walsh said, "and from the tone of
his message I'd say he'll be really
cunning for points. I know that
before Jones accepted the cap
taincy OF the challenge team he
made certain every player he
wanted on his side would be on
hand"
Favor Emperor's Team.
There was much speculation on
the matches at the recent st. Paul
Open. Several star professionals
who won't be playing favored Jones
team, which will be made up of
Jones, Craig Wood, Ben Hogan,
Gene Sarazen. Johnny Bulls, Law
son Little, Ed Dudley, Clayton
Heafner. Jimmy Demaret and
Denny Shute. The Ryder Cuppers,
under non-playing Walter Hagen,
are Henry Picard, Byron Nelson,
Paul Runyan, Sam Snead. Horton
Smith, Dick Metz. Jimmy Hines.

Boys Town
Sequel Held
At Palace
Tracy.Rooney Film
Follows Lines
OF Predecessor

As in the case of its predecessor,
Men of Boys Town" shows what
a shabby world, even a nom warning
one can be for children. Also, as
in the case of its predecessor, the
picture held over at the Palace this
week has Spencer Tracy and Mickey
Rooney to deliver the message.
They are the pictures brightest
assets, which undoubtedly will come
as no surprise to any one.
Men of Boys Town" is picture
devised to wiring the heart, the
wringing being the more successful
in the case of those who did not see
Boys Town" Others are likely to
find the situations pretty much the
same as in the initial venture.
The high point of the drama is
the portrait by Tracy of the ideal
istic, gh-principled Father Ed
ward Flanagan. 1t is a part that
Tracy obviously relishes, as what
actor would not? He puts into it
a muscularity that is one of the
most engaging facets of his per-
formance, a quality that is of such
excellence that it actually draws
applause from the audience at one
point in the action.
Rooney'S performance is another
fine feature of the film, the finer
than many of his other ones. in
that Mickey is much more subdued
than usual.
Next to these two it is most worth
your time to keep an eye on young
Daryl Hickman. who plays an in
FAINT Cagney with brilliance that
is downright startling. 1t is some
thing to behold. j. c.

ends with the p. p. S. Don't sue"
until the double romance jells sweet
" at the fadeout. The Devil and
Miss Jones" is fast, clean fun. 1t
gives Mr.. Coburn one of his finest
screen roles to date, that OF an
irascible old Croesus whose employees
attract his attention by hanging
him in effigy. Moreover, it returns
pretty, spirited Miss Arthur to one
of those comedy dishes which she
contrives with such neatnesS. The
story even has a moral in it for
capital and labor, a moral which is
so incidental it almost seems un-
whiting. That's what morals should
be, no doubt.
Central figure of The Devil and
Miss Jones" is a rich old man. He
is exaSperated with the poor, es-
pecially those who get that way
working for him, because he is con-
vinced it is their own ineptness
which makes them that way After
they have hanged him in effigy, he
decides to get a job in his own de-
partment store, where he is entirely
unknown. The idea is to study the
poor at first hand, to mingle with
them and find out what's wrong
with them.
An almost endless succession of
comic incident develops. Scoundrel-
" straw bosses make him sort Of
whipping boy. he becomes the pet
of the left-Wing element which is
trying to organize the employees, the
customers abuse him. Life is just
one jam after another, all of them
very funny.
High moments are never far apart
in THE Devil and Miss Jones"
They begin when the vain sour puSs
of a floor boss assigns Coburn to
bedroom slippers, which apparently
are the lowest rung of the shoe
department. They continue through
an employees meeting in which the
old man is held up as the horrible
example of the ruthlessness of the
exploiting employer, through mad
session at Coney Island, and a
madder one in a police station
where he is taken as a suspected
thief after trying to sell his luxuri-
Gus rich watch for 81. The latter
sequence is one of the funniest in
the picture, the old man almost
apoplectic with dudgeon yet cor
nered like a rat because he cannot
afford to reveal his identity.
Miss Arthur'S big moment in the
film is that in which she, having
discovered the identity of the old
man and concluded he is a stool
pigeon for himself, decides she must
knock HIM out to recover the list
of employees who want to organize.
Sam Wood who directed Mr.
Chips" is a fellow to relish a scene
like this and what he. Miss Arthur
and Coburn make of this one is
something to put down as perfect
in every aspect of its timing.
The cast of THE Devil and Miss
Jones" is uniformly excellent. with
the possible exception that Robert
Cummings vehement young hero is
a bit on the overdone side. Mr..
Coburn is splendid as the vociferous
old magnate in disguise, a stormy
old hater of the poor on his way to
disillusionment and complete
change of social philosophy. He
never misses a trick and neither
does Miss Arthur, who really has a
way with comedy that is endlessly
pleasant,
You simply must make a note Of
THE Devil and Miss Jones" as
something you owe to yourself and
to the spirit of spring. J. &C.
