Soon after entering the Senate, Caraway attracted considerable at- tention with a proposal that “lame ducks”"—Senators and Representa- tives defeated in the November elections—be forbidden to vote on important issues at the December session of Congress. His pro- posal came to naught. In 1926, he. played before the spotlight for a brief period after his return from Europe and his reported assertion that graves of America’s war dead in France were being desecrated. This brought de- nials from both France and Amer- ican officials. Caraway finally ad- mitted he had not gained the in- formation first-hand and that it had come to him from Senator Reed of Pennsylvania. Reed de- clared he had been misunderstood. So the incident was closed. Important Legislation It was not alone for his fiery 'speeches that Caraway was known. His name was connected with sev- eral pieces of important legislation.

Written By Lonsdale i “The Devil to Pay” is an original screen story and dialogue by the; famous English dramatist, Fred- erick Lonsdale. | The picture, described as a so-! phisticated comedy drama in the modern manner, has to do with the life and loves of Willie Leeland,! played by Colman, wayward son of a wealthy and unsympathetic Bri- tish peer who, in an effort make something of his adventerous son, gives him a start in South Africa. Longs for London The story opens with Willie, dis- gusted with his exile, and longing | for the lights of London, auction-| ing his belongings to obtain money enough for a passage home. Never having experienced real love, he decides that he will marry a wealthy girl, an dsettle down, in- dependent of his father. Arriving in London with twenty pounds in his pocket, he spends it in buying a dog and in taking an actress, an acquaintance of former years, to dinner. Next morning he meets his fate —falling deeply in love—and with an heiress, played by Loretta Young. Marrying for money, and marrying one he loves who has money, are viewed by Willie as ir- reconciliable. The dialogue is very bright, witty and sparkling, and the part of Willie was especially written to fit the engaging Colman personality. “High Gear” depicts the lives of the youngsters of today. Mickey Daniels and Betty Bollen, as the offsprings of Harry Bernard and May Wallace, start the two reeler off with a breakfast table sequence. The usual waffles, friendly argu- guments and “kid fights” are in! evidence. MOOSE ARE T0 CELEBRATE ON MONDAY NIGHT Past chlators of Juneau Lodge Are to Be .
