It presents gangster life in a hilarious vein. Langdon and Summerville were selected for the comedy team with | Miss Love portraying the character |of a cabaret singer and the sweet- heart of a gang leader. { Rivalled Rogue’s Gallery The casting department of Uni- versal ran a close race with the police rogue's gallery in rounding up gangster “types” for the picture. Extras, whose ugly faces are their fortune, figuratively speaking, were in constant demand for “killer” roles. The studio took on the ap- pearance of America’s wildest of tough characters, machine guns and trucks. Langdon and Summerville are mistaken for two gunmen hired by a gang of liquor runners to put a rival leader on the “spot.” features the new program tonight | {at the Capitol theatre. | Tonight is “Chinaware Night.”| | Every woman attending either per- | formance will receive a piece of gangster rendezvous with its scores | * * * .o e B have snly one response. miner satellites.

Politics Their Interest ‘These represent the passive youth of Germany, but with the trend, politics is becoming their ab- sorbing interest. Once they leave these folds, it is to join the fiery enthusiasts of the extremist “de- fensive and combative” associa- tions. The latter are semi-military in character and are auxiliaries tothe major political parties. They con- |tain about 1,000,000 youths, trained and disciplined in military fashion —though they use walking sticks for guns. Preponderant in influence are the fascists and rightist groups—“Hit- ler youth” and “young steelhelmet.” Manliness, ¢ourage, self-sacrifice, with patriotism first and last are the primary ideals.
