MEXICO WARNS RAIL MEN NOT TO ATTEMPT STRIKE Government Prepared to Take Drastic Action, Calles Tells Union Leaders. old, of 451 injured James F. Howell, Y 16, By the Associated Press MEXICO CITY, June 29.—Seeking 1o put an end to the recurrent strike threats and protests against the economies introduced on the national railway lines, President Calles has jssued a warning to the railway men, Heclaring the government is firmly decided to carry out its announced economic adjustment. Drastic measures will be ordered, if necessar: vs, and any attempt will bring immediate dis The govern- ment also is ready energetically to Buppre: ahotage. The President’s warning came after @nnouncement that the men on sev- eral divisions planned to abandon . work because of curtailment in Sun- day overtime Icharacters a young French AMUSE KEITH'S. Roland Robbins would be hard pressed to present a better bill than that offered at Keith's this week. The honors go largely to the San- trey family, but the headliners find strong competition from the rest of the program. Presenting an orchestra that is as 8ood as anything on the Albee cir cuit, Henry Santrey last night was forcer to renege on his promis to keep the musiclans out in front as long as the audience desired. The versatile leader also appeared in a little skit with his wife, Anna Sey- mour, to wind up the bill that went across in great style. Miss Seymour also does a double, giving her talents as a_comedienne full play in bits of mirth and melody with her brother, Harry Seymour, assisted by Walt Sullivan at the piano. Co-starring with Santrey is Juliet in her “One-Girl Revue, personating stars of the stage. Miss Juliet also was forced by the in- sistent demands of the audience to display her full repertoire. accompanied at the piano by Duane Bassett. Back in the Capital for a week, too, it Eddie Ross with his long- drawn-out story of his family and the African harp that has aided in putting Eddie to the forefront of blackface comedians. Grette Ardine, with John Tyrell and Dave Kaye, put on a whirlwind dancing act, “The French Model,” that is attractively staged, and the Les Grohs, contor- tionists, in a pantomimic novelty, also get across in pleasing fashion. ‘The bill is opened by Joe' and Wil- lie Hale in a juggling and balancing act that introduces several novel features. The usual house numbers round out the entertainment, the news reel bringing reminiscences of a little while back with pictures of the French struggle in Morocco, the camera man having gone down finto the front line to film the shelling of a Riff stronghold. Miss im- EARLE—Ben Franklin Orchestra. The Earle this week offers the Ben Franklin Orchestra, from a Philadel- phia_hotel, under the direction of Howard Lannin. Its selections, for the most part, are of the jazz type, that pleased especially because the usual frills and gyrations were omit- ted. In the more classical selections the orchestra clearly demonstrated its artistic worth, putting over the num- bers in a manner pleasing to an au- dience that rather leaned toward the popular stuff. Many curtain calls re- warded the number. Two of the acts billed missed train connections, but their places were filled by clever teams rushed down from Keith's. The photoplay, ‘““One Night in Rome,” is a gem. It is a screen ver- sion of J. Hartley Manners’ success- ful play of 20 years ago, in which Maude Granger starred. The scen- ery, especially the interiors of old Italian castles, is truly beautiful, and the characters are true to the original conception. Laurette Taylor has the role of the princeéss, which, of course, assures the best in dramatic acting. The supporting company brings for- ward two men who were in several of the war-time pictures as villains, and their parts stood out in this: lat- est production. Wonderfully rich cos- tumes add to the interest. The Earle News and a short comedy complete the program. The management announced that the regulars billed will be on hand tonight. RIALTO—"Kiss Me Again. “Kiss Me Again,” the attraction at the Rialto this week, is notable chiefly for its direction. When a story bears the name of Ernest Lubitsch, the for- eign director genius, who came to these shores a couple of vears ago, one is assured of absorbing entertain ment with a “‘something different” in the flavor of the theme. In this, his latest production, Lu- bitsch has chosen for his principal couple, who are beginning to find matrimony, at least with each other, a rather humdrum affair. Loulou is a pretty, light-headed little creature, who, so far as her good-looking husband is concerned, has come to the conclusion that “there is no need chasing a train after you have caught it,” and, there- fore, looks_about for other flelds to conquer. Her attention lights on a young musician, whose artistic tem- perament soon captwres her interest, and before long the services of a divorce lawyer are required to un- avel the tangle. Gaston, the hus- band, graciously steps aside, declar- ing his wife's happiness is the para- mount issue, and before long things are seemingly settled. Left alone with her temperamental lover, however. THE EVENING STAR, MENTS Wwhose idea of love-making is to sit at the piano playing -soulful music, Loulou begins to wonder as to the whereabouts of her Gaston, and idle wondering sharpens into quick con- cern wheh she discovers him to be having an apparently enjoyable time with an attractive>juene fille. Of course, the climax brings the young couple together, more in love and happier than they have ever been, and the situations leading up to this reunion are handled so un- usually yet so plausibly that the atory is ralsed far above the ranks of ‘mediocrity Marie Prevost is the charming Loulou, Monte Blue is Gaston, Wil- lard Louis the divorce lawyer, a splendid bit to add to his growing list of clever characterization: John Roche dreamy musician and lover, and Clara Bow the dainty, au- daclous “other girl.” _An added. attraction from grand opera, by chetti and Armando .\nu.’ roles from which they is selections telle Mar- Marbini, who ()lher films include a fable in col- n altogether novel and enter- taining bit; an “Out of the Inkwell” cartoon and up-to-date news views. Mischa Guterson's selections for the Rialto Orchestra are appropri- ately chosen and well executed. METROPOLITAN—"The Talker Starring Anna Q. Nilsson, Stone, Shirley Mason and Ian Keith, the Marion Fairfax's play, “The Talke bids fair to prove a drawing card Crandall's Metropolitan this week The Talker” has for its theme the very interesting and much talked of treedom of women in thought and in action, in the philosophy of life with- out restraints, and of individualism and the courage to live up to one's convictions. Anna Q. Nilsson as Mrs. Harry Lenox, beautiful, spoiled and discontented, is a believer in this new doctrine of personal freedom, and not only is she a- believer, but a fluent talker and even a writer on the sub- )O‘Lt Lewis Stone, as Harry Lenox, is a successful business man, con- tented with his lot in life, and very much in love with his wife. Next to his devotion to Kate, his affections are bound up in his young sister Ruth, who adores him, and whose faith in Kate and her philosophy is absolute. For all of her conviction that in- dividualism and the freedom of self expression is right, when the actual test comes Kate is surprised to find that she is in reality merely a “talk- er” and that she cannot practice the doctrine which she preaches. The trusting Ruth, however, light aside love to engage in a romantic adventure which turns to ashes as soon as it 1s begun. Disillusioned by her brief flight with & crook and the complete collapse of Kate's beautiful philosophy, Ruth disappears and a new chapter is written into the play. Two_complete storles are told in “The Talker,” each interesting, logi: cal and very much worthwhile. Each role affords splendld opportunity for versatile acting, and the cast could not be improved upon. To make a cholce as to the best performance would be difficult. A Christie comedy, “Call a Cop'’; the news pictures and music from Victor Herbert's “Naughty Marietta” are ad- ditional attractions. COLUMBIA—"Lost—A Wife.” The much touted ‘“Norse screen beatuy,” Greta Nissen, with unique type of pulchritude, is by far the most interesting feature of *‘Lost—A Wife,” the picture at Loew's Columbia this week. It is her screen bow to the capital. Adolphe Menjou may be called the next best thing in a picture which is neither farce, comedy, tragedy nor drama. It attempts to tell the story, neither plausible nor convincing, of the dashing American gambler who thought more of gambling than of the woman he imagined he loved, and yet who is represented as being so irresistibly fascinating that she turns back to him after being left outside in the cold during the honeymoon, while the ' bridegroom gambles 75 stretch. Lewis Tully Marshall reen version of at Announcement Tuesday’: F;and Saturday’s Star tions of ablility as an actress which were not given full opportunity in the peculiur preseptation this week. It will be interesting to watch®her in future parts, of elther a lighter or heavier nature. Other members of the cast are Eugenio di Liguoro,, Marcelle Corday and Mario Corillo. The comedy of the week is “Isn’t Life Terrible,” a take-off on D. W. Grifith’s “Isn't Life Wonderful?” There are also an International News reel, Topics of the Day and ag over- ture by the Columbia Orchestra. PALACE—"Light of Western Stars.” A screen adaptation of Zane Grey" story, “The Light of Western Stars,” 1s being shown at Loew's Palace this week, with- Jack Holt featured. “The Light of Western Stars” is a romance of the days when the Ari- zona frontler was America's “last wild West,” laid along the stretch of mountain ‘and desert through which winds the historic Apache trail. It concerns a cowboy, renowned for his daring explolts along the border, who makes a vow with his companions while on a rollicking spree ta marry. the first girl who alights from the transcontinental train at the nearby station. In the meantime terror is descending on the peaceful town in the shape of a band of outlaws, who surpmise the town off guard. In the midst of the turmoll the girl arrives, and the climax is reached when over her the cowboy hero and the bandit chieftain come to death-grips. The action is fast and thrilling, full of tense drama, brave deeds and dark villainy, an adventurous tale of the last desperate stand for organized outlawry in the West. Noah Beery is the “bad man," fights Jack Holt for the girl. Billie Dove is a beautiful heroine. Others who acquit themselves well are Alma Bennett, Willlam Scott, George Nichols and Robert Perry. William K. Howard, who filmed “The Thun- dering Herd,” directed this picture. A comedy, “The Super-Heterodyne," from the Mack Sennett workshops; Pathe News reel, Topics of the Day and a_pleasing orchestral program under Mr. Gannon are added features. who TIVOLI—“My Son. At Crandall's Tivoll Theater. First National's camera version of Martha tanley’s play, “My Son,” featuring Mme. Alla Nazimova, with Jack Pick- ford, Hobart Bosworth, Constance Bennett, Charlie Murray, Mary Akin, Dot Farley and lan Keith, was the outstanding attraction yesterday, con- tinuing today. The comedy, “Sight 'WASHINGTON, D. C., MONDAY, Tight,”. an lmuulng Chrmle two- reeler, featuring Jimmte Adams, and the . Pathe Review, with pipe organ accofmpanimeht' awd' solo . intervals,: executed by George Emmons and Harold T. Pease, are other attrac- tions. “My Son" has as its locale a fishing village on the New England coast, ‘with -sqme \of the most beautiful scenery i ever, caughf by .a camera. The story corjcerns the determination of a little mokher to protect her only boy against himself and a sirenic young creature from the city.

AUSTRIA’S FINANCES HIT. Report of League Committee Shows Economic Depression. VIENNA, June 29 (#).—The extent of the economic and financial depres- slon in Austria, which the committee of experts of the League of Nations is [coming here on Tuesday to investigate, was revealed yesterday in_ company promotion figures covering the last six months. These figures, published ves- terday, record that only 13 share com- panies have been founded, as com- pared with 94 during the correspond- ing period in 1924 and 111 in 1923. The figures further record that in- creages of capital by existing compa- nies were attempted by only 19, as against 139 and 130 in the same pe- riods.
