BOV. SMITH TORUN AGAIN, SAYS PAPER . New York Democratic Chiefs Feel Situation Demands His Re-Election. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, June 7.—Despite his frequent assertions that he did not wish to run again, Gov. Smith will be a candidate for re-election in the bellef of Democratic leaders, the New York Times says. At the wedding of the governor's daughter at Alhany Saturday Democratic leaders vir- tually were unanimous in feeling that the situation was such that the rovernor would have to run again, the paper adds. Every Democratic leader expressed complete confidence that the gover- nor would be re-elected if he ran. The State organization of the Re- publicans is basing its entire plan of campaign on the expectation that Smith will be re-uominated, the paper asserts, and 1is preparing an attack upon his policies In a State-wide campaign two months be- fore the conventiions of both parties nominate their tickets.

Antoinette, however, probably is the first of the mythical princesses who plots to escape a marriage of state and to succeed in outwitting a clever prime minister and the dissolute rone the former has arranged for her to marry. Also she ix the first to re- nounce her throne for her American lover. Can one ask more? Greta Nissen is as capable as she is charming in the title role, in spite | of her disposition to overpose during the first reel. Young Colller meets quite adequately the demands as the American lover, and, of course, Rar- rymore and MacDermott could not be improved upon as the King and prime minister, respectively. Mme. Daumery and Sojin contribute the FEuropean flavor demanded by the story. One of the always fine Our Gang comedies, a scenic novelty, the Pathe News and the musical accompani- ments help to make the program in its entirety unusually enjoyable. METROPOLITAN—“The Reckless Lady.” Levity and drama alternate at Crandail's Metropolitan Theater this week. Brooke Johns, with his banjo and “The Oklahomans,’ supply the added stage'attraction, enthusing ves terday’s audiences with the pep and the punch of their work on two grand pianos, all kinds of reeds and brasses {and more banjoes than Heinz has pickles for a smashing finate. The act is an instant hit.

The supplementary | features include the Metropolitan World Survey, and O. Henry comédy, and a musical setting by the Metro- politan Orchestra, under Daniel Bree- skin. There is no lost motion in “The Reckless Lady. There is a terrific conflict of personalities, motives and desires and a retributive climax that caps the play with a scene of intense interest and suspense, Many of the scenes deplct the gaveties of | carnival season on the Riviera set | forth with convincing realism. | “Acting honors easily go to Belle Benpett as the mother whose indis- cretions sent her wandering over.the face of the earth to keep the daughter a remorseful and resentful father sought.

COLUMBIA—"The Palm Beach Girl.” “The Palm Beach Girl,” at Loew's Columbia this week, is a silly film— in the way that Charley Chaplin’s and Harold Lloyd's films are silly. There i= no more delightful way of being ridiculous. One starts laughing a few ! minutes after the thing starts and continues to do so as absurdity foi- lows absurdity until there seems to be no end of it all. it seems to be entirely Bebe Dan- iels. She reveals a neat sense of com- edy at its best in parts of “The Palm Beach Girl” as the Iowa nlece of two wealthy aunts whom she goes to visit at the Florida resort. Things In that place sesm to be vastly different than in Iowa, and her efforts to master her new environment are tremendously ludicrous. After nearly causing the suffocation of the two aunts by her monumental social deficiencies, she be- gins to get the hang of things. Before she starts to fit in, however, her contacts with the ocean provide no end of humorous situations. Her next big faux pas is entering into the closest kind of competition with her cousin for ‘the hand of a handsome young_ sportsman, who leans heavily toward boat racing. In winning this event, she has some striking experi- | ences that invelve virtually all the i known means of tranaportation—auto, spead boat, plane and raiiroad. | Laurence Gray plays the role of the | [ voung speed boat racer, and Mar- il:upl'lt!

RIALTO—"Rolling Home.” it mot too ethical, The graceful, machinations of big business furnish Reginald Denny with a new setting for his 100 per cent American fea- tures in “Rolling Home," at the Rialto this week, As Nat Alden, a young financier without money, Denny succeeds in making $275,000 purely by luck. It it not humerous that he’ should be- come wealthy by luck—that is big husiness—bit it is humorous that he should Become wealthy by so very much luck. There is absolutely nothing in the pleture which is probable, and for that regson it is funny. It is the typical “good, clean fun'; that is to say, it is almost clean, more or less good, and sufficiently funny. Marion STAR, WASHINGTON, D. O, MONDAY, JUNE 7, 1926. . Nixon, as the loyal flancee, remains under all circumstances beautiful. Among the ‘“‘condiments” are Helen Ault and Ted rard, in a s dance numb: vhich is not very except that Ted Gerard seems gro- tesquely like the shadow of Helen Ault against the curtain. Babette Everitt renders a delightful soprano solo to the accompaniment of a spe- clal scenie film, and the Rialto Con- cert @rchestra, under the direction of Mischa Guterson, plays the “Vien- na Bon-Bons" overture of Strauss’ with great energy and pleasure. It was announced that the Rialto Theater Is selected to chagse the Washington representative in the All- American Beauty Contest at Atlantic City next September. From time to time during the Summer, elimination contests will be held on the stage, until the final decision is made in August. TIVOLI—"The Johnstown Flood.” “The Johnstown Flood,” ~Willlam Fox's reproduction of the Pennsyl- vania inundation of 1889, is the pic- ture feature presented at Crandall's Tivoll the first two days of this week. The tremendously moving and. irre- sistibly thrilling aspects of the flood have heen tempered by the interpola- tion of romantic drama, with a well defined vein of love interest. The principal roles are plaved by George O'Brien, Florence Gilbert, Janet Ga: nor, Anders Randolf and Paul Ni olson. “Our Gang” comedy, “Buried Treas- . with a CALDWELL AT THE AGE OF 83 Most men and women past fifty must give to the bowels some occa- \iomlfulp, else they suffer from con- stipation.
