SENATE BAN ON
! M'CORMIGK AND
DAVIS JFORECAST
Huge Campaign Expense Is
Expected to Keep Pair
i From Seats.
Bv Rcrippt-TJaward Xewtpaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Sept. I.—Charges
of excessive senate primary expen
ditures had become so general be
fore the Nye investigating commit
tee today that it was reported the
Progressives and Democrats will
make definite moves to bar Secre
tary Davis and Mrs. Ruth McCor
mick from their seats if they are
elected in November.
Though most members of the sen
ate are withholding comment on the
expenditures of the cabinet member
and the first woman to stand a
chance of being elected to the sen
ate. Senator Harris of Georgia, al
ready has pointed out publicly that
Mrs. McCormick's outlay exceeded
the $195,000 spent by Truman H.
Newberry of Michigan, who was
condemned in a formal resolution.
Both Mrs. McCormick and Davis
spent almost $300,000.
Borah Action Awaited
Senator Borah of Idaho, who
usually has made the first move for
investigation of primary funds, Is
expected here in a few days, and
some word on the subject may come
from him.
Should he take the lead, it is al
most certain that the progressives
and Democrats will follow him, and
in cases of this kind friends and
supporters of the candidates con
cerned are loath to oppose such at
tempt.
Definite action may wait upon
the outcome of the elections in
Illinois and Pennsylvania, although
both Davis and Mrs. McCormick are
said to be sure of victory. It then
will be a question of holding to
the precedent set in the Newberry
fight, or of waving this because of
the fact that the cost of votes, as
well as everything else, has gone up.
Ban Deemed Certain
Incidentally, the senate which will
pass on any attempt to keep the two
prospective members from their
seats will be controlled by Demo
crats and progressives, unless all
political signs fail.
Since William S. Vare of Pennsyl
vania and Frank L. Smith of Illi
nois were kept out by a senate ac
tually in control of the Republicans,
the chances for Davis and Mrs. Mc-
Cormick are no brighter, once the
movement gains momentum.
Senators discussing the Illinois
and Pennsylvania situations seem to
hold Davis less blamable than Mrs.
McCormick. The latter, according
to this view, admitted that she spent
her owm money, and therefore ex
ceeded the Newberry figure deliber
ately.
Davis, it is pointed out, did not
use his own money, depending upon
customary contributions.

HOLLYWOOD SLOWING UP
Movie Players Make Fewer
Pictures Now to Retain Stardom
BY DAN THOMAS
NBA Service Writer
HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Sept. I.—Can the popularity of a motion
picture player be determined by the number of pictures in
which he or she appears?
Strange as it may seem to some persona, the answer to that
question is a very decided “No.”
Proof of that statement is that we know extras and bit players
who have appeared in scores of films and yet they don't know
what a fan letter Icofcs like. Yet Maurice Chevalier, who un
questionably ranks among the five most popular screen stars today,
has only four pictures to his credit.
Then, too, there are certain stars in the business who used to
make anywhere from twelve to twenty pictures a year. That
was back in the days vhen the film racket really could be spoken
of as an infant industry. Today, when turning out anywhere
from two a year to one in two years, they are just as popular and
perhaps more so than they were some years ago.
Chaplin Makes One in Two Years
Charlie Chaplin comes under that heading. Charlie used to
grind out two-reelers like sausages. Now he is making one
picture every two years. And the public still swarms to see his
pictures.
Harold Lloyd is another in that same class. Harold used
Maurice Chevalier . . . he's popu
lar, but has only four United
States pictures to his credit.
RESENER GOES VERY
MODERN THESE DAYS
John McCormack Saves a Weak Story in ‘Song o’ My
Heart’ by a Great Voice in His First Talker.
BY WALTER D. HICKMAN
THE overture has gone ultra modem this week at the Indiana,
where Ed Resener is directing a modernized version of "Orpheus.”
Before Resener takes the conducting stand. Charlie Davis explains
that the orchestra will play "Orpheus” as the composer might have
composed it in the future, say 1960.
We were introduced to some new
notes and noises in "Rhapsody in
Blue,” when Paul Whiteman first
gave us an ear full of that, but we
run up against a
gang of new
sounds and ef
fects in the way
they have done
over "Orpheus.”
The composer in
his overture gives
you the idea that
Orpheus is in
Hades and the
modern arranger
right at the end
of the overture
gives you by the
aid of a screen
and effects such
as shots, sirens
Charlie Davis
and like the noise of a city in
flames. My idea may be all wet. It
may be that just some good woman
was baking a cake and burnt it all
up in the range. Anyway, you do
experience something as Charlie
Davis states, “probably has never
been done by any orchestra before
in the country.” It might make you
want to hear "Home Sweet Home”
cr such a "modern” as “St. Louis
Blues,” but you must admit that
Resener and his men put it over in
good shape.
Now we have the talking version
of "Manslaughter.” with Fredric
March as the young prosecuting at
torney, who sends his own high so
ciety sweetie to prison for many
years because she killed an officer
with her auto. The haughy heroine,
who finally gets a heart and begins
to act like a human being, is plkyed
by Claudette Colbert.
Here is good acting, wise direction
and good photography. March gets
all the sympathy. Miss Colbert
makes the "heroine” the cheap
skate that she is, plays it honestly
and well.
You know the story and I will not
repeat.
The only feature of outstanding
quality in the stage show is the
great toe tap dancing of Dick and
Edith Barstow. They are wonder
ful. The rest is only so so.
Now at the Indiana.
a a a
CONCERNING GREAT
SINGER ON THE SCREEN
John McCormack on the concert
stage has one of the great voices of
all times and his personality has
made him beloved and wealthy.
John would never have gone in
the movies if he could not have
been heard in song.
The modern sound
movie makes it
possible for John
McCormack to sing
and talk in “Song
O’ My Heart.”
They tell me that
McCormack re
ceived the nice
sum of $400,000 for
his part alone in
this one. Probably
such a great ex
pense for one item
alone accounts for
the cheapness of
some of the sets,
the poor comedy
John
McCormack
and a mighty weak story but it in
no way excuses the carelessness on
the part of the man who directed
the picture. “Song O’ My Hearth”
is only all right when McCormack is
singing. His voice has been finely
recorded. You feel that soul of his
personality in song, just as you do
chi the* concert stage. He sings a
Biinibw* ftf Qi finfi In&h
to turn out those short comedies so fast that he doesn’t know
how many he did make. During the past few years he has been
making pictures at the rate of ore each year. This list also could
be stretched to include Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, Gloria
Swanson, Norma Talmadge and Richard Barthelmess.
However, despite the reduction in the number of pictures per
annum they now are making, many of our present day favorites
have surprisingly long lists of films to their credit. Foremost
among them is Tom Mix, who has not been in front of a camera
for the last eighteen months. Yet Tom is said to have played in
more than 400 pictures during his brilliant career. Next in line is
Jack Mulhall, who has 300 films to his credit and still is going strong.
Bebe Daniels easily wins first place among our feminine popu
lation with 288 productions, many of them, of course, being the
one and two-reelers which were so popular some years ago. Betty
Compson can count up to 219 when she starts to name over her
films. And Mary Pickford and Norma Talmadge are both safely
above the 200 mark.
Many Have Played Nearly 100 Roles
So far as we have been able to determine, none of the players
whose names glitter in electric lights are between the 100 and
200 mark. But there are quite a few who fall short by only a
small margin of having played 100 roles. They are H. B. Warner
(90); George Marion and Edmund Breese (80); Milton Sills and
Edmund Lowe (70); Evelyn Brent, Louise Fazenda and Harry
Gribbon (60); Clara Bow, Richard Dix, Conrad Nagel, Viola Dana
and Shirley Mason (50); Richard Barthelmess, Bessie Love, Lila
Lee, Wallace Beery and Harry Carey (40).
There are quite a number of others who can claim between
thirty and forty picturs. Among them are Clive Brook, William
Powell, Mary Brian, Warner Baxter, John Gilbert, William Maines,
Clyde Cook, Edward Everett Horton, Pauline Frederick, Corinne
Griffith, Jack Holt, Constance Talmadge, Mae Murray and
Thomas Meighan.
ment and beauty. One that I loved
best is about the little boy who
passes on leaving his toys to mourn
in sorrow.
Wise direction and common sense
handling of McCormack by giving
him the right kind of a story would
have made “Song O’ My Heart” as
good and all round picture as Law
rence Tibbet in “The Rogue Song.”
But the McCormack movie is not a
good all round movie. In fact the
star is so far ahead of everything
else in the whole business that the
cart never catches up with the
horse.
McCormack actually gives a glori
fied song recital. I will remember
McCormack but not the picture.
Have your own idea about this one
as usual.
Now at the Apollo.
a u a
NOVARRO BECOMES
VERY, VERY OPERATIC
Os course, you know that Ramon
Novarro is leaning more and more
to the operatic stage than ever.
He has gone a sort of a Spanish
Lawrence Tibbett in "Call of the
Flesh.”
It is about time that Novarro sits
himself down some place and study
himself and his audience. He is
sticking too close
to a certain line of
Spanish atmos
phere. It takes
Novarro as well as
his director too
long to shake off
the spell or what
ever it is. That is
true of “Call of the
Flesh,” as it takes
about one-half of
the footage before
the story gets
started or even
mildly interesting.
The last half of
the picture is good.
> • J|& H
Novarro
It holds your interest. Novarro does
remarkably well as the heartbroken
clown in “Pagliacci.” In fact, he
will surprise you. He makes up for
some weak work at the first of the
picture by his good work in the last
half. The director also seemed to
get awake and realizes that he had
something to do, and he did it well;
that is in the last half.
I think that the mistake has been
made in attempting to drag out a
story that cc-uld have been told in
two or three less reels.
The feminine love element is
played by Dorothy Jordan. The
type of role would handicap any
one. Ernest Torrence is both good
and bad. Bad in the first part and
good in the last. He plays the piano.
Really? Yes. it looks like it.
You may or may not agree with
me. That is your great privilege.
Now at the Palace.
a a a
CONCERNING “BIRTH”
NOW AT ENGLISH’S
It is a hard job for me to tell
you about such pictures as “Birth”
or other pictures that has to do
with sex.
I believe that “Birth” does not
come under the head of entertain
ment or theater.
It must necessarily preach and it
does that. I know that the very
title is box office. And the scenes
showing the actual delivery of a
child by a modern operation are
real.
Before the picture opened its run
at English's Indianapolis doctors
were invited to a private screening.

doctors after the picture and they
told me in answer to my questions
that the operations recorded in the
movie were real, done by the Euro
pean method and not in this coun
try as different cuts and methods
are generally used. But the opera
tions of childbirth in this movie
are real, that I believe.
These are not pleasant sights and
do not come under the head of en
tertainment.
Parts of the movie showing a
young girl going astray are terribly
silly, poorly directed—the only pos
sible excuse being that of a pos
sible moral.
The picture may make you ill at
your stomach; it may stun you or
you may rebell at the whole thing.
You may think it is terrible.
It is up to the individual who sees
the picture. I make no recom

“HELL’S ISLAND”
OPENS NEW THEATER
When two people fall in love, and
there is a third party interested,
there is bound to be trouble, in
“Hell’s Island” we find this situa
tion made more interesting and
dramatic because
the two men in
the triangle are
pals.
Mac and Griff,
played respectively
by Jack Holt and
Ralph Graves,
are in the
French Legion.
Although the two
quarrel most of
the time, there
is nothing they
would not do to
help each other
in a time of need.
Enters Marie,

Sebastian, an en-

tertainer, out for money, nothing
more. Then she meets Griff. Money
becomes insignificant, love every
thing. But Mac has met Marie be
fore; he knows how she has lived,
and, therefore, misjudges her inten
tions. The two pals really quarrel
this time. Passions are laid bar.
A time comes when Mac and Griff
find themselves alone in the desert,
after an encounter with the Riffs.
Griff tries to help Mac, who has
been wounded, but is rebuked. A
lone Riff makes his appearance, un
seen to Mac, shoots him in the back
and makes his get-away, as Griff
fires after him. Mac thinks Griff
has shot him. Against orders Griff
carries him to an ambulance.
Asa result of trying to save his
pal, Griff is sentenced to ten years
on Hell’s island. Marie promises to
follow. To keep her promise she
marries Mac, after his wound has
healed, and persuades him to finish
his remaining two years as a guard
on the island.
On the island Mac learns her true
purpose, and thinks he has been
double-crosssed by both Griff and
Marie. He arranges an escape for
them, meaning to double-cross them
in turn, but he discovers in time
that Griff did not shoot him. Os
course, what follows is only what
one pal would do for another, espe
cially when that one has so mis
judged the other. Suspense and ac
tion are prominent in “Hell’s
Island.” The acting and direction
are good.
I want to add that the sound
equipment in the new Terminal,
where this picture is showing, is
excellent, which adds much to any
theater or picture.
Now at the Terminal. (By Con

BUSINESS CRASH
BLAME LAIB TO
G. 0. P, POLICIES
Democrats to Hammer on
Hard Times Theme in
Vote Contests.
By Ecripp-H award Xewtpaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Sept. I.—The
Democrats will go to the country in
the fall elections with the business
depression, the agricultural slump,
and enactment of a Republican
tariff alleged to have accentuated
these conditions as their principal
arguments for repudiation of the
Hoover administration.
On the heels of the Republican
national committee's issuance of an
unofficial campaign platform re
citing the achievements of the
Hoover administration, Representa
tive Cordell Hull of Tennessee, a
former national chairman and a
candidate for the senate, today de
clared the G. O. P. statement only
emphasized that “the first year and
a half of the Hoover administra
tion is distinguished by lack of a
striking performance for the public
welfare.”
In the tw r o statements are seen
the notes which the party cam
paigners will stress in the com
ing campaign. The Republicans
will ask a vote of confidence on the
strength of the tariff and agricul
ture acts and the London naval
treaty, while the Democrats will
contend that the new duties and the
farm board's policies have done
nothing to prevent unemployment
or bring the country out of the
slump.
They will picture the naval pact
as negligible in its effect, even
though they will point out that
Democratic votes made possible its
approval by the senate.
Hull’s statement commented on
the Republicans’ failure to sing the
old song of prosperity as a w r ar cry.
It assailed the tariff as designed to
aggravate bad conditions, and de
clared the opposition was content to
let the G. O. P. take credit for crea
tion of the farm board and its sub
sequent accomplishments.
Most of the other things cited in
the administrations’ review', . Hull
asserted, consisted of mere routine
performances. It also declared that
“effective leadership, political, mor
al and economic,” had not been
shown by the President or his party
associates.

out. In the war his main worry is
to keep himself well covered with
danger eliminator, which in the
form of powder, he purchases for
the price of $2 from a fellow soldier.
Bullets, gas, nothing holds any
terror for Moran, and Mack and
his dog, with the danger eliminator
ever protecting them. They make
a parade ground out of no man’s
land. It disappoints Mack to think
that his dog, would make love to an
enemy dog, but anything seems to
go in this war.
Aside from the comedy furnished
by these two well-known blackfaced
fun makers, Neil Hamilton and
Joan Peers bring in a little love in
terest. Just enough for a good
balance.
If you like Moran and Mack, you
will like this picture. Nothing seri

A SHE GUN-MAN
WHO CAN SING
A girl who can shoot and sing.
Some combination. That is Helen
Kane in “Dangerous Nan McGrew.”
She sings better than she shoots.
This picture offers nothing much,
but a chance to hear Helen Sing.
And she can sing in her own in
dividual way, we know that.
There is very little story present,
and that is lost in the ever present
hokum, that does not help in the
least to bring this talkie up to
standard. Just a lot of film wasted
for nothing, as I see it. Helen Kane
deserves a better break, than this
sort of foolishness.
The rest of the cast, which in
cludes Stuart Erwin and James Hall,
does not seem to help matters. Not
their fault, however, when good me

These mementos of the ill-fated expedition of Major Salomon

bodies were discovered recently, thirty-three years after they vanished
during an attempt to fly over the top of the earth in a free balloon,

The souvenirs were presented to the university by Evelyn B.

The mementos, taken by Baldwin from the shed which housed

CONVICTS KEPT
IN BARK CELLS,
HALF STARVED
Prison Survey Bares Harsh
Treatment Given Unruly
Inmates.
By Scrippt-Batcnrd Sctrtpaoer Alliance
WASHINGTON. Sept. I.—The
unsuccessful fight against solitary
confinement made by Sanford
Bates, superintendent of Untied
States prisons, before the interna
tional prison conference at Prague,
focused attention again on the
harsh disciplinary measures used in
some American penitentiaries.
A survey shows that solitary con
finement is not unusual, dark cells
and the bread and water diet are
more or less common, and even the
dungeon still exists.
There evidently is a trend toward
more humane treatment of prison
ers, but the relatively small scope
of this movement is illustrated in a
survey of American penitentiaries
published recently by the National
Society of Penal Information. Inc.
Paul W. Garrett and A. H. Mac-
Cormick were editors of the society's
1929 handbook of prisons. The latter
is an official in Bates’ bureau.
Confined in Dark Cells
Confinement of prisoners, who
have committed some of the more
serious offenses in dark or semi
dark cells, prevails even in federal
penitentiaries, the survey revealed.
Four dark cells await unruly
prisoners at McNeil Island. Wash.,
but the sixteen punishment cells
there are described as “large, light
and well-ventilated.”
For more serious offenses, men
sent to Ft. Leavenworth are con
fined in semi-dark cells, sometimes
on restricted diet. Kilby prison,
Oklahoma, has dark cells in which
prisoners are shut, up, usually only
for a few days. Ventilation and
sanitation is described as “not up to
modern institutional standards” in
the semi-dark punishment cells at
Florence, Ariz.
There is a dungeon at Folsom
prison, California, where men are
confined if the cells in the punish
ment corridor are filled. After the
first ten days in these cells, the
bread and water diet is broken by
one full ration a w'eek.
Kept in Dungeons
There are fourteen punishment
ccells at San Quentin in the same
state. The survey found them dark,
without plumbing, but fed with air
through a forced ventilation sys
tem.
A prisoner who breaks the rules
at Railford prison, Fla., can be sent
to solitary confinement and given
terms of a few hours up to ten days.
The prison at Boise, Idaho, had
eighteen dark punishment cells, in
which convicts are confined from
two to three days a week. Occa
sionally one is held for thirty days.
In one case, the survey related, an
inmate was confined for “upward
of a year.”
From one to ten days in solitary
on bread and water are given frac
tious prisoners at Michigan City,
Ind., and the Stillwater (Minn.)
prison also disciplines convicts by
solitary confinement.
COYOTES NEW RACKET
Scalps in Mothballs Imported to
Collect Kansas Bounty.
Bu United Press
TOPEKA, Sept. I.—Kansas en
countered something new in rackets
when the state offered $1 a head for
coyote scalps.
Four men were arrested and their
motor car contained a bundle of the
scalps packed in moth balls.
The men confessed they were re
ceiving the scalps from fur dealers
in eastern cities and selling them
to various county authorities of
Kansas.
The bounty was offered in an ef
fort to rid the state of the pests.
