That is enough to tell, and the humor of the play is the thing that counts. Then there is good stage presenta- tion thrown in. “A Night in a Cab- aret,” directed by Mischa Guterson, is the means of putting over many novelties and specialties. There is plenty of music and the usual minor film numbers. TIVOLI—"Tin Gods.” Thomas Meighan is the plctured star of the bill at Crandall's Tivoli Theater the first two days of the cur- rent week in Paramount’s production of “Tin Gods,” the most effective ve- hicle he has had in recent months. The supporting cast is a good one. The supplementary features em- brace a new releuse of the popular “Topics of the Day” and the latest Pathe Review.

BEATEN AT POLLS | "' che 2ame election in which Judge California Voters Turn on Jurist Who Resented Editor's . Criticism. By the Assoclated Press. EUREKA, Caiif., October 4.—Bret Harte's practice, when he was a coun- try editor here in the sixties, of freely criticizing the conduct of judges and court decisions seems to be a treas- ured heritage of the California red- wood country. For Denver Sevier, Superfor Court judge of Humboldt County, the only California magistrate to sentence an editor for contempt in the last four vears, ran fifth and was nosed out at the primary election after a long term of service. The issue resulted from the 1.000- day jail sentence given Alfred Linds- ley. editor of the Humboldt News, for commenting on the conduct of Judge Sevier while he was sitting in a case in which Lindsley was defendant o a charge of criminal libel. The jur disagreed, but Lindsley has been in jail for the last five months.
