Chairman How- ard will speak on “Bootlegging the Constitution.” Wadsworth Defeat Victory. Speaking on the achievements of the committee during the past year, Chairman Howard today said: i “The defeat of Senator Wadsworth | in New York, who was the flagbearer | of the wets. is one of the greatest of our victories in the last election. | “It is strange that newspapers and | careless thinkers interpret the large | wet_vote in the referendums as en- tiraly for the repeal of or weakening | of the Volstead act. In reality, it} was in a large degree a protest against widespread corruption of poli- tics and a desire for better enforce- ment. The real sentiment of the country is seen that in the election out of 35 new Senators only 9 are wet, while of the 30 nmew members of the House at least 25 have dry records or have made dry pronounce- ments in ‘their States.” reels, Including a new release of the popular “Topics of the Day” and pipe organ accompaniment and solo inter- vals contributed to the entertainment by George Emmans, concert artist at the console of the triple-manual pipe organ, and Ida V.

To tease him she keeps her identity a secret, and he renounces his title to marry what he believes to he a commoner. As a result she very nearly has td marry her prince’s wicked uncle. Thers is a thrilling rescue that is & bit sticky, but otherwise the picture is really good. This is due in @ great measure to the fact that the acting is fine throughout. Bessie Love is win- ning as the little American duchess, and Joseph Schildraut leaves no loop- holes for criticism as the galavanting young crown prince who lends “Un- cle Benny” the ancestral crown for enough money for a final fling be- fore tying himself to his “skinny old grand duches: PALACE—"The Gay Deceiver.” “The Gay Deceiver.” featuring Lew €edy, with Brooke Johns and his All- American Colleglans; Tom Gannon's Orchestra in *Valencia Around the World”; special scenic and lighting effects and Dick Leibert’s original organlogue “Singing Foot Ball,” all go to make this week’s bill at Loew's Palace Theater one of excellent and varied entertainment. Brooke Johns returns with his Collegians in a snappy number which he calls “Ten Minutes to Play,” in| which high lights, excellent music and | &ood singing both individual and en-| semble, are notable : ! “Valencia Around the World™ is an | unusual overture number, in which | the popular song number is repre- | sented as played in Ireland, Spain. | Japan, Germany, Palestine, and, for a olimax, Washington's Four-and-a-half | atreet. | In “The Gay Deceiver’” Lew Cody, | in the title role. is seen as an actor, | the perfect lover. who after 19 years im reunited to the wife he had desert ad by their 18-year-old daughter. The The role is somewhat different from racterizations. In- suitor of first ro- mantic importance. he is the father of = girl of 18, and is brought back to his wife more by the force of circum- atances than by the rebirth of an old Jove. Cody gives his usual fine per- | formance and is supported by an ex cellent cast including Marceline D: es the daughter: Dorothy Phillips, as | the wife and raother: Carmel Myers, the “other woman.” and Roy 1'Arcy. as the latter's jealous husband. The bill is rounded out by short | reels, including World News, Aesop ! Fable, Topics of the Day and Reces- | anhood, that her own gross manners are a ‘“millstone” around the daugh- ter's neck. Attentions she herself has paid to a horseman of low breeding in- volve her in a social ostracism, and eventually she allows her husband to divorce her in order to give her daugh- ter the opportunity of refinement and a future. Miss Bennett is admirable, playing the role of lover, young wife and finally disheartened, broken old woman. She struts, preens, flourishes her gar- ishness in fine fettle, until the heart- breaking discovery that she is her daughter's “drawback. Lois Moran gives a splendid, restrained interpre- tation of the daughter, while her sweetheart is played surprisingly Window Decorations —every conceivable quality of Sunfast Siiks and " Mohara. - Our derocators would be pleased to have vou call.
