At the Movies =; oO bs CAPITOL THEATRE Those who enjoy reading the news- papers—and who doesn’t?—will take particular interest in RKO-Radio Pic- tures’ colorful comedy-drama, “Ladies of the Jury,” featuring Edna May Ol- iver at the Capitol Theater Monday. Newspapers can print only the court proceedings and human reactions of @ murder trial. “Ladies of the Jury” goes much farther and takes the spec-| tators “behind the scenes” into the sanctum of the jurors. Here, in a graphic and entertain- ing manner, the story deals with the petty foibles, bickerings and person- al equations of the jurors; their methods in arriving at verdicts and| persuasions used in changing certain votes. Interpreting this medley of human types, representing the average Amer- ican jury, are a number of players right out of Filmland’s blue book. Hl Edna May Oliver, of “Show Boat,” “Cimarron” and RKO-Radio Pictures’ fame is the star. Others include Jill Esmond, stage star; Ken Murray, for the past ten years a vaudeville head- liner, Roscoe Ates, dean of stage and screen stammerers; Kitty Kelly, ex- Follies beauty; Lita Chevret, Florence Lake, Kate Price, Guinn Williams and others. ‘The starring role is a perfect setup for the comic antics of Edna May Ol- iver. She tops even her roles in “Panny Foley Herself” and “Laugh and Get Rich.” , Jill Esmond plays a very dramatic role reminiscent of Pauline Freder- ick in “Madame X.” She is a welcome new addition to the screen. The story, adapted from Frederick Ballard’s stage play and directed by 2 F ODD FELLOWS WILL, |For 3a'Wearsa—7 Deputy Grand Sire W. F. Jack- | representing |resentative of his home district in the highway vehicle is different from | chasers. struction of improved highways. This opinion has been expressed by stu- dents of highway finance, including @ | Thomas H. McDonald, chief of the U. 8. Bureau of public roads. More than 85 per cent of bus and truck taxes go directly into highway funds for im- provement and maintenance. Average bus taxes amount to approximately 20 times as much as taxes on individual automobiles. This is substantially in excess of a fair ratio. considering rel- ative size, weight and highway use. It is common knowledge that rail- roads, as a public utility, are very heavily taxed, but bus taxes as com- pared with railroad taxes are relative- ly higher per dollar of investment and per dollar of gross receipts. In 1929, railroads paid six per cent of operat- ing receipts in taxes; buses paid 7.2 per cent. In 1929, railroad taxes rep- resented 1.5 of the total investment; but taxes represented 7.68 per cent of total investment. The tax ratio for all transportation and public utilities was 4.5 per cent. Railroads have complained of loss of revenue to truck transportation.

PARAMOUNT THEATRE A long and vigorously suppressed desire of Will Rogers, world-famous comedian of the screen, bursts all bounds in “Business and Pleasure,” his latest Fox Films production, adapted from the best-selling novel, “The Plutocrat,” by’ Booth Tarking- ton. Will gets a chance as “top man” in a quartet. Most of his vocal efforts in the past have been confined to the bath- tub or the wide open cattle ranges of Oklahoma and Texas, But, he con- fesses, he has always nursed a de- sire to sing high tenor in a full- fledged quartet. Rogers reveals a high tenor of a peculiarly piercing timber which un- doubtedly reflects his Indian ances- try. “Business and Pleasure,” starring Rogers and featuring Jetta Goudal, Joel McCrea, Peggy Ross, Dorothy Peterson and Cyril Ring, will be seen and heard soon at the Paramount theatre.

Davis said the cut would be not less than $50 on all models with the possi- bility of « larger reduction on some cars in the Chevrolet line. | -2,000 Persons Visit Exhibit of New Ford More than 2,000 persons visited the D until x Ear Segal eve- exactly 2,1 ited our by rooms,” Copelin said erating between fixed terminals and|MeWsPapers behind the radio cabinet handling less than carload freight,{ i" headquarters.

A message from Mayor Rankin read: “Upon this occasion, the opening in our city of the 13th International Flower Show, it is with pleasure that I extend the good-will of the people of Hartford to the people of your city by saying it with flowers by wire, the Mercury way. This flower token was made possible through the world-wide organization of bonded members of the Florists’ Telegraph Delivery asso- ciation.” International flower week is being %n Bismarck by Oscar H. ‘Will and company and Hoskins-Mey- er, bonded members of the world-wide association.

When TEETHING makes HIM FUSSY One of the most important things you can do to make a teething baby comfortable is to see that little bowels do their work of carrying off waste matter promptly and regular ly. For this nothing is better than Castoria, a pure vegetable prepara- tion specially made for babies and children. Castoria acts so gently you give it to young infants to relieve colic. Yet it is always effective, for older children, too. Remember, Cas- toria contains no harsh drugs, no narcotics — is absolutely harmless. When your baby is fretful with teeth- ing or a food upset, give a cleansing dose of Castoria. Be sure you get genuine Castoria with the name: Bike.
