AT THE CAPITOL
! Few screen stars have enjoyed the
popularity of Douglas Fairbanks.
And when one looks back at the
long list of excellent films in wh.ch
he has appeared, the reason for this
genuine popularity is easily under
stood. Like Charlie Chaplin, the
particular art of Fa’rbankr. has ap
peal to young and old. rich and
poor. There is an indefinable some
thing that Fairbanks catches in
every photoplay. That something
might be defined as romance; ro
mance in a broader and more liberal
interyretation than is usually accord
ed this much abused word. For the
romance of Fairbanks is refresh
ing, invigorating; gloriously fast
moving, adventure-loving. It takes
people away from the cares of the
day; lifts them into another sphere
of life where men are bold, daring
and reckless; where youthful, de
lightful romance holds sway.
His recent films like “The Gau
cho." and “The Three Musketeers,”
have thoroughly pleased audiences
for just this reason. One has eager
ly joined the dashing Fairbanks in
his adventures in a chivalrous, ro
mantic age. And. now. this incom
parable man. in his latest picture.
“The Iron Mask.” sequel to the The
Three Musketeers.” bids you. in a
talking prologue, to join him in new
adventures. For again he is the
dauntless D’Artagnan. foremast
blade of France, riding, fighting and
lov.ng with all his characteristic
dash and case. Again you are sum
moned to ride with Athos. Porthos
Aramis and D Artagnan, through a
maze of thrilling adventures and
fascinating intrigue. Needless to
say. “The Iron Mask.” is. in every
way. a worthy successor to the best
of Fairbanks pictures.

fashion are Marguerite de La Motte.

BALDWIN MOVE
Premier May Seek Liberal
Aid to Nullify Gains
Made By Labor
LONDON, June 3 —(^ — Al
though It was stated in authorita
tive quarters that Premier Bald
win would not announce his course
of action until tomorrow, the im
pression became stronger today
that he would resign immediately.
LONDON. June 3— UP)—Great
Britain today awaited the next move
of Stanley Baldwin before shaping
itself for what was generally felt
would be a lBbor government head
ed by former Premier Ramsay Mac
Donald.
The prime minister spent the
week-end at Chequers court, official
country place of BntKu j.lenders,
and was hn ev«*-e! to have conferred
wiih \rttlets jC the conscrativc
party.
But what took place in these con
ferences could not be learned. It
was not known particularly, whether
he would resign immediately, or
would choose to reorganize his gov
ernment and fight it out before par
liament when that body meets June
26. hoping with liberal help to stave
off a vote of confidence.
Party Divdrd
It was no secret that those mem
bers of tds cabinet who survived
Thursday's cataclysm at the polls
were divided as to the proper course.
Sir Austin Chamberlain, foteiarn
minister, believer- his natty l-ader
should carry on as long as possi
ble. Winston Churchill, chancellor
of the exchequer, believed the prop
er and more dignified thing would
be to resign at once and let the la
borites have their day.
Public opinion too seemed divided
although there was a tendency in
evidence, in published expressions
and in editorials in the press, to fa
vor immediate resignation and for
mation of a labor government.
There was as much mystery as
ever as to whether either tacit or
open support would be shown David
Lloyd George, liberal chieftain to
either labor or conservative uarties
