Tonight is “Chinaware Night.” Every woman attending either of the performances will receive a piece of table chinaware. “In Old Cheyenne” provides fast action for the dyed-in-the-wool western photoplay enthusiast as well as for the casual patron of talking motion pictures. In theme, treatment and produc- tion, this out-door comedy-drama moves along quickly to a climax. pg | It has originality in its story.

Old papers at The Empire “In Old Cheyenne” opens on an lold western ranch, now a “guest ranch,” which the owner of the § | vast property is operating to offset the tremendous losses he has suf- Ifered from the depredations of a { well-organized band of Thorse thieves. Arrives In Nick Of Time As you may have guessed, the hero arrives at this juncture. But what a hero! He is everything a western hero should be; handsome, devil-may-care, a hard rider, and, which is more important, a hard hitter! Under what circumstances he meets the pretty daughter of the ranch owner and how success- ful he is in ridding the country of the horse thieves form the nar- rative of this play. Hero Is Rex Lease The hero is Rex Lease, cowboy star. Dorothy Gulliver, in the lead- ing feminine role, runs Rex a close second for honors in the picture. Jay Hunt, as the crippled though shrewd father of Miss Gulliver and the owner of the ranch, is an old stage trouper. Stuart Paton directed from a script prepared by Betty Burbridge and adapted from an original screen story by Bennett Cohn. C.

Jan. 5.— While the rest of the country has had its attention centered on war debts, attacks on President Hoover and the like in Congress, residents of the Capital find themselves concerned with a problem of their own. And this particular problem is causing more racket in the confines of the District of Columbia, per- haps, than all the rest of the do- ings in Congress put together. A move is underway in the House to impose new taxes on the resi- dents of Washington. For a time a special commit- tee of members of Congress, headed by the tall and bald Mapes of Michigan, has been studying the fiscal relations between the federal government and the city of Wash- inton. The committee made its re- port soon after the opening of Congress. Briefly, it recommended that the federal contribution to the District budget be reduced and that new taxes affecting incomes and auto- mobiles, among other things, be imposed. . A Wail Starts Loud was the wail that went up in the District. And since Washington is voteless, the old cry of “taxa- tion without representation’ ‘'was that Congress was trying “to soak” heard on all sides. The people of Washington con- tend that a comparison between the city and other capitals is im- | possible. They argue that Washing- ton’s position is unique; that it exists only because the govern- ment decided to build here the world’s most magnificent capital. ‘They point out further that Washington has no independent existence; that its resources are largely devoted to supplying the needs of the government. Debate Is Hot On the other hand Congress in- sists that the government is and has been most liberal with the res- idents of Washington—some say oo | liberal. | Congressmen are loud in their statements that nothing should be |done to delay or mar the progress |of the capital, but at the same [timé they think the people of Washington should share more in civic expenses. The newspapers lead the fight for the District. Members of Congress reply in open forum in the House.

The job of synchronizing the film is now under way. Of course, it will be a silent picture, designed chiefly for foreign release. The news that the picture is coming out should be good news Here Was Cause For Complaint Wilson Mizner insists people com- plain too much about bad breaks. “Why, I knew a fellow,” he says, “who spent a whole Winter in a bowling alley, and never knocked down a pin.” “Queen Kclly” ®umor Pops Up If you can believe the report, and it seems authentic this time, {Gloria Swanson’s ill-fated produc- tion, “Queen Kelly,” is at last cut down to 8500 feet and will be re- ‘leased in the near future.

Tf they are not, legislative action will meet with resistance.” Since surplus difficulties now largely are export difficulties and the commodities most depressed those which sell heavily in foreign markets, Mr. Hyde says it is fun- damental to domestic recovery to understand thé progress Europe is making toward feeding herself. Because of tremendous agricul- tural expansion to feed embattled nations, the war left the American industry excessively dependent up- on the European market. But, as early as 1927 the cultivated areaof Europe, outside Russia, was back to 97 percent of the pre-war average and the need for American prod- ucts decline proportionately. J Acreage Cut The action by southern states to limit the 1932 cotton acreage is seen as evidencé of realization at last that the law of supply and demand must be observed. There is further indication inthe voluntary reduction in winter wheat acreage for 1932, in country buying of fewer meat animals to fatten and in more dairy cattle go- ing to slaughter.
