Gertrude Astor, now at the Palace Theatre, is one con- tinuous laugh from stem to stern. ., The irrepressible Tryon appears as a young gob who is hurled by a hurricane of events slambang upon the reef of matrimopy. He is one of the trio of sailors bound togeth- er by a mutual fear of “the dames.” ‘The fun starts when they go ashore to search for a blonde who has snared one of their number, played by Otls Harlan, into signing 'u\vay half his pay. The only cue to | her idigetity is a strawberry birth- | mark on her leg. | — e, — ©'®e o 0 0 s 000 0000 ® “THE LAST WARNING” l® AT PALACE SUNDAY "....OC...IAQ | The lure of the smysiciious—the | fascination of the unknown—and the love of the world to solve crime problems—all of these partly ex- plain the popularity of Universal's mystery pieture, “The Last Warn- ing,” at the Palace starting Sun- day night. “The Last Warning,” by Thomas F. Fallon was one of the most suc- cessful mystery plays ever to be seen on Broadway. It was staged from the book, “The House of Fear” by Wadsworth Camp. The motion picture was based on the play. All the ingredients of mystery have been jammed into the phpto- play. Mystery and terror which bring forth screams from the audi- ence and laughter—not the laughter that a farce comedy produces—but the almost hysterical laughter of highly keyed nerves stimulated by relief from a fearful situation. The story is set in a theatre—a show house which has been closed ever since the murder and disap- pearance of the body of the star in the midst of a performance. Af- ter five years the spooky old thea- ter is reopened for rehearsals of of the original fatal play, with the same cast which had formerly en- acted it. Then strange things hap- pen as the ghost of the dead star begins to walk and warns the play- ers against re-enacting the play. —————— ® ® 00 00 00 000 o BUFFALO PERIL WOMAN IN FORCED LANDING NAPLES, June 14— Sofia de Mikulska, Polish aviatrix, was never warned by her flying instructor what to do when menaced by wild buffa- lo after making a forced landing. . He might have advised her at least to light a cigarette and, be nonchalant. So.the flier was @ bit tak- en aback when confronted by a lowing herd of 200 of the animals after she landed when her stick went dead over Sessa Arunca, near here. She was saved from a dis- agreeable experience by the return of her co-pilot, ac- companied by mechanics for whom he, had gone. 0000000000 H . . . . . . . ° . . . - . . . ° ° (] . '] . . . . .

The bureau of mines of the de- partment estimates that half a bil- {lion dollars is saved through re- claiming scrap iron and steel and an additional quarter of a billion is gained through reclamation of other common metals. The salvaging of waste is an in- dustry initself, according to J.. P.

" 'Another Position. | EARL CURZON LONDON — The sudden with- drawal of Sir Oswaid Mosley, mil- lionaire Socialist, from Ramsay MacDonald’s Cabinet is expected to. prove a staggering blow to the Labor Government's chances in the | next election. Dissatisfaction win MacDonald’s metrods of dealing with the un- cmployment situation—paramount issue in British politics today—re- sulted in Sir Oswald abruptly quit- ting his Cabinet post of Chancel- lor for the Duchy of Lancaster. Mosley is the fabulously wealthy, baronet who amazed the entire British Empire a few years ago by anouncing that he and his wife, Lady Cynthia Mosley, has been won over to the Socialist cause. The move resulted in the es- trangement of the two young aris- tocrats from their respective fam- ilies. Sir Oswald’s Tory father severed all relations with his som at, that time. Lady Cynthia is the daughter of the late Earl Curzon, and his «first wife, the former Mary Leiter, the Chi- cago heiress. Part of the enormous fortune her grandfather, Levi Z. Leiter, great American grain king, left in his will was bequeathed to Lady Cynthia, now a Labor mem- ber of Parliament. Her husband is reported to haye quit the Cabinet so he could freely criticize MacDonald’s much debat- ed unemployment policy. Political leaders say the Prime Minister of- fered Sir Oswald the important post| of Minister of Mines if he would stand by him in the coming by- elections. Minister Ben Turner, the pres- ent chieftain of the Mineg Depart- ment, is suffering ill health and is expected to resign any day. But Sir Oswald chose to sever| all connections with his leader. Coming on top of the recent split in the Labor side of the House of | Commons, the move is looked upon as definite proof that there is a| critical break in the Socialist| Quits MacDonald | | RaMsay MacDoNALD i just resigned, carries with it no important duties, but the incum- bent has a Cabinet vote and all the prestige that goes with it. The Labor Party admits that the defection of Sir Oswald may have a spectacular effect on the coming generdl elections, upon which the fate of the MacDonald Government will depend. As one of England’'s most prom- ising young statesmen and an ex- Cabinet member, the leveling of| Sir Oswald's oratorical guns on his chief may lose the Socialists thou- sands of sorely needed votes. o T T TR PASTOR PARALLELS \ CHURCH'S 60 YEARS| | CHARLO1 S VILLE, Va, June 14—Southern Presbyterians will honor at thelr general assembly beginning here July 22 a man who was present:at the first general as-| sembly “held after organization of the southern' church as a separate body in 1861. He is «the Rev. Dr. George L. Petrie, pastor emeritus of the Charlottesville Presbyterian church, who recently celebrated his 90th birthday.

Presbyterians from 16 states be-|QB tween the Potomac and the Rio| Grande will attend the meeting, which comes to Charlottesville prin- cipally as an honor to the Rev. Dr. Petrie. i -t i) 1 MOVIES SPREAD RED TENETS| MOSCOW, June 14—Five thou-| sand soldiers of the Moscow garri~ son have been trained as movie operators.
