Sherwood origi- ! nal stage success. It deals with the :advemures of a henpecked king and i his royal family. { Island Is Mythical The action occurs on a mythical island in the North Sea, and the costumes are more lavish than any yet seen on the talking screen. Gowns worn by Nance O'Neil, as the princess—gowns of silk and satins and velvets, of ermine and iseal and otter—while offering no example cf what is being worn by royal families are such as to make real women of the royal purple en- | vious. | Streng Supporting Cast | Beside Mr. Sherman, Miss O'Neil and Miss Astor, the cast includes Anthony Bushell, Robert Warwick, Aldn Roscoe, Hugh Trevor, Gilbert Emery, Carrol Naish, Frederick Burt, Desmond Roberts, Lita Chev- ret and Nancy Lee Blaine.

MacDonald himself declared it meant a bare-fisted bout. Again, Philip Snowden’s new bud- get, which calls for land taxes— land in England is untaxed—is aimed at the peer class. Still. again, the Socialist. party seems to have the greatest confi- dence of Indians, especially since the demands for harsh action in Mahatma Gandhi’s land have come only frcm Conservatives. The Labor Government’s record in foreign affairs has been almost brilliant, but in home affairs it has found heavier going. TUnemployment, England’s most staggering problem, steadily mount- ed. New it seems to havé taken a slight turn for the better, and, at an yrate ,the Lords have provided ‘a medium that permits a substan- tiation of the very situation that a few weeks ago was labor's chief spook. Nothing promises a general elec- tion soon, however, unless it be a feeling .in the air—and that could be spring. o WENDELL DAWSON GOES TO SPEEL RIVER FOR FEW DAYS Wendell Dawson, in charge of streamflow investigations for the Cameron-Chandler interests here and the Zellerbachs at Ketchikan, left here Monday for Speel River to spend a few days checking up on stream guages and gathering other data in that district.

IQ P LLOYD FOLLOWS MARY BRIAN AT COLISEU ‘Marriage Playground’ To- night and ‘Feet First’ Tomorrow Evening With “The Marriage Playground” starring Mary Brian, showing for the last times tonight at the Coli- seum theatre, “Feet First,” with Harold Lloyd in the leading role, wil be presented tomorrow night at the popular playhouse. “Feet First” is a rollicking breath-taking production. Harold is seen as the lowly shoe clerk 'who aspires to high Honors as the leading salesman in the chain of shoe stores cwned by Robert Mc- Wade. As usual he starts off on the wrong foot, being called upon to wait upon Lillianne Leighton, McWade's wife, and giving hex shoes that are six sizes too large. All this because he is flustered at the sight of Barbara Kent, secre- tary to McWade and his wife. Has Not Met Barbara Harold has not met Barbara formally, and he does not know her name, but he guesses that she is a wealthy daughter of society, and goes for her in a great big way. After a series of humorous ad- ventures in which Harold poses as a young man of ‘wealth in order to impress Barbara at a society ball, he one day finds himself on board a liner bound from Honolulu on which are also McWade, Miss Leighton and Barbara. There fol- lows a veritable barrage cf Lloydian fun as Harold tries to “crash” a social event aboard the ship. _ Encounters Fresh Thrills Finally he gets ashore only to encounter fresh thrills on the top and sides of a sky-scraper, furnish- ing a dare-devil climax with hair- raising stunt-stuff. The closing episode shows Har- old making good as a McWade em- ploye and as a successful lover. The climatic thrill-stuff is among the best of the kind the talkies have given us.

Starting his sixteenth baseball campaign, Hoyt hopes to hang up 20 victories for the Tigers this year and has a good start in that! direction. He registered number three on May 4 against the White Sox. Born at Brooklyn in 1899, Hoyt has spent almost half his life in organized ball. He had his first big league trial with the Giants in 1918, but McGraw let him get away. After spending the next two sea- sons with the Red Sox he went to the Yankees in 1921 and immedi- ately established himself as one of the game's greatest pitchers. In six world series with the Yan- kees Hoyt won six out of nine games entrusted to him, including the only two he started in the 1928 classic. He has scored 48 world series strikeouts. During the winter Hoyl manages his father’s mortuary in New York City. ——— J.C.
