Nobody was injured. Man Who Always “Wanted a Thrill” Commits Suicide KINGS MOUNTAIN, N. C., March 22 (#).—Yesterday after- noon they buried Hunter Shep- herd, 23, who had “always wanted to do something thrilling” and so committed suicide. “Dear World: Everybody has the wrong opinion of me,” young Shepherd wrote in a note found on the ground near his body, dis- covered late Thursday in a pine grove near his home. “I always wanted to do something thrilling, and this life has been a failure ‘with me. So this will be the last :{ gic'{."!hwherd. bencr known ? | “boop-boop-a-doops,” delighted Stage and Screen FRIDAY OPENINGS IN WASHINGTON THEATERS HELEN KANE AT THE EARLE. 'HE Earle Theater opened its new week yesterday, and the efforts of Helen Kane, in a series of her well known baby-talk songs, with all the a_ ca- pacity audience. Not only does Helen sing just as one might expect her to— and she is at her best—but she also reveals a modest, almost shy person- ality, which suits her naive talents to perfection. Her ability as an enter- tainer is thus transferred from the screen to the stage, with the stage the considerable winner. Miss Kane was enthusiastically received by an au- dience which clammored for more— and which got all it deserved, the star very wisely stopping where most stars would not have stopped. “Hello, Sister,” the film that follows, is one of those light, fairly amusing trifles that centers around the terms of a will. In this case, the large for- tune is left to a young girl on the con- dition that she stay away from all al- coholic beverages, late parties and cig- arettes for a period of six months. This naturally changes the life of the young herofne, who up to that time had been making “whoopee” until the grimmest hours of the morning. She, however, makes the necessary changes—rises at eight, attends church regularly, teaches a Sunday school and finally organizes a church bazaar, in which the stage en- tertainment turns out to be a great hit and the horse race rather an unex- pected feature for a church festivity. However, all the situations being a trifie unusual, including the will, there ‘was no real cause’for misapprehension, nor worry that the young lady would not get all the money comirig to her. Olive Borden acts well enough and often looks better than that—especially in the Floradora take-off. ~ Lloyd Hughes plays the lover with his usual gentlemanliness, and George Fawcett, at the beginning of the pic- ture, does the best of them all. ‘The remainder of the program is taken up with the Universal Newspaper Newsreel, an animated cartoon com- edy and the orchestra playing Rudy Vallee's song hit, “The Stein Song.” Judging from yesterday's attendance, the new FPriday opening policy is dis- tinctly successful. E.de 5. M. GRAHAM McNAMEE AND “HONEY.” A PICTURE in which the actors take themselves far from seriously and which, consequently, gives no end of amusement to the audience is to be seen this week at the Warner's Metro- politan under the title “Honey.” his film, which has been garnered from the play “Come Out of the Kitchen,” in which Ruth Chatterton, back in 1920, reaped considerable re- nown, is an ingenious bit of tom-foolery which has, by some miraculous good fortune, escaped the drooling sentimen- tality that causes the downfall of so many Hollywood products. The result 1s extremely pleasing. With unprecedented astuteness the producers have realized that the mate- rial at hand is neither of epic quality nor of dramatic fiber—and so, quite evidently, they have gone in, not only for comedy, but for something more than that. They allow the actors to make fun of themselves and they allow them to interpolate a take-off on the “Hallelujah” sequeénce of “Hit the Deck,” which manages, in spite of it- f, to be very eflective—due to the fact that the tune that goes with it, “Drop Everything,” is one of those things that should revolve through the music halls for months to come. ‘The_story of the young girl and boy who lease the parental home to a rich and ambitious society matron and assume the role of cook and butler in the reorganized household is told, often hilarious. Nancy Carroll, looking prettier than ever—which is considerable—is an ideal for the title “Honey.” Skeets Gal- lagher is a natural and most effective “putler” and Lilllan Roth justifies the recent publicity which labels her as the “new ‘it’ girl.” Furthermore, there is a young actress who is irritating to the point of perfection in the “I've got a secret” role of the eight-year-old girl. ‘The remainder of the program is devoted to a Vitaphone subject of Ann Pennington doing her familiar dance steps. And ‘The Evening Star-Universal Newsreel, with Graham McNamee “an- nouncing,” that isn’t half long enough. Mr. McNamee's pertinent remarks about current events is worth the price of ad- mission alone—all of which may be proved by visiting another theater where they have the same news reel without Mr. McNamee announcing. The sub- jects are well chosen and suit the fa- mous sportwriter's sense_of humor to perfection. E. de 5. M. “GREAT CATHERINE” A HIT. ‘HE Columbia Players presented Bernard Shaw's satirical comedy, “Great Catherine,” last night at the Central High School Auditorium. Under the direction of Miss Aurora Poston, who assumed the title role as well, this amusing bis of Shavian sarcasm was turned. into .an glmost letter-perfect professional production. Not an easy play, in any sense of the word, for an amateur presentation, this splendid group of players, who pre- viously in the season won the Wash- ington one-act play contest with “When the Ship Goes Down,” which entitled them to try for the Belasco Cup in New York, gave a performance tha should rank high amon { T the season’s entertainments.

President Hoover is seen dedicating the new $1,000,000 Red Cross Memo- rial Building in Washington in the latest Evening Star-Universal News- reel. Graham McNamee, National Broadcasting ace, describes the events as the talking reporter, at the Metro- politan Theater. The silent film is shown at other Warner Bros. theaters in Washington and many theaters in Maryland and Virginia. Sir Ronald Lindsay and Lady Lind- say are caught by the cameraman as they reach the United States, where Sir Ronald takes up his duties as the new British Ambassador to this country. Max Schmeling, the Teuton “white hope,” has already started his training for his battle with Sharkey next June. He is shown at his training camp, in Blesenthal, Germany, shadow boxing and going through other stunts to make him fit for the grueling contest in the heavyweight battle. President Hindenburg of Germany. while no longer a military chief, shows his strict disciplinary methods in sup- pressing the reds in Berlin. The police put mobs of rioters to rout with rubber clubs, which are not so soft as the name would indicate, for many heads were broken before the erowds were dispersed. In France, the villagers in the Tam Valley are seen trying to build up their homes which were destroyed or washed away by the worst floods in French his- tory. In the town of Reynies not a building was left standing except a stone church. One hundred and nine were drawned, but the survivors started bravely to work to rebuild their houses. China has decided to help out the United States in its war on drugs. Army officers at Shanghai detected quantity of oplum which was being made ready to be smuggled into this country and destroyed it all by fire as shown in the newsreel. ‘There are many interesting features in the news which include a daring acrobatic dance in which girls are flung through the air at the risk of their necks at Los Angeles, Calif. exhibition of complete wardrobes the girls of Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, made themselves, at the small cost of $32 per wardrobe; a girl’s riding com- petition at Del Monte, Calif., where they shoot arrows at a target while riding like the wind; a scene of the jolly tars of the United States Navy sa) good-by to their pet parrots which the department ordered cast off the ships for fear of spreading fever: a kite flying in New Jersey in which the biggest kite in the world came a cropper, and a high dive by a hardy Roman into the turbulent waters of v.h‘e Tiber River with a non-sinkable suit. way in which she directed the actors, | P but for the astute characterization she gave to the enigmatical and {urbulent queen. George T. Odell assumed the role of the British captain who has the honor of considerable favor from the queen for a brief and amusing few moments. He seemed at his best when, tied hand and foot, he lay prostrate beforc her majesty and was forced to submit to the torture of rib-tickling—one of Mr. Shaw’s splendid bits of satiric tomfool- ery. As the inebriated Patiomkin--his- tory's Potemkin—H. R. Baukhage came dangerously near ‘“stealing” the acting honors, certainly his “key-hole” phil- osophy and his oft repeated threats to “go by-by” contributed vastly to the evening’s meriment. Anne Ives as the fiancee of the “Museum-Plece” Brit- ish captain did very nicely in a small part, and other's who did the same were Dorothea Lewis, Helen Burton, Mildred Browne, Jo Bourne—and par- ticularly A. E. Dubber as the queen’s chamberlin. Mention should be made of the scenery, which although simple, included some rare and artistic pleces of furni- ture. Selections on the organ during the entre-acts were also much appre- ciated by the audience which seemed to enjoy itself immensely tnmughgut E. de 8. Kitchen, Bath and Reception Room.

Byrd nounced today that his Antarctic e: ploration bark, the City of New York, was ready for sea and would begin its return voyage to New York tomorrow with a portion of the expedition. Admiral Byrd’s other vessel, the steamer Eleanor Bolling, is expected to follow the City of New York a week later, both going by way of Tahiti and the Panama Canal. Byrd will rejoin his expedition at Panama. “I feel that a personal explanation should be made why I am not going home in the expedition ships, as the impression might be given that I am leaving the boys in the last stage of the expedition,” Admiral Byrd told the Associated Press correspondent. “I am remaining in New Zealand to straighten out business affairs here and to see the departure of the last unit of the ex- pedition. I shall rejoin the ships at Panama City.” He said he expected to have his book on Antarctic exploration ready for the ?}‘l‘:ug,fi"hw’:lh!‘ln three months, and in e begin a lecturing tour of the United States. » Pleads for Airports.

A meeting of the executive committee of the Republican national committee to be called soon is expected to furnish an opportunity for a discussion of the activities of Chairman Claudius Huston in using funds collected for the Tennes- see River Improvement Association in stock market transactions. A growing restlessness in Republican ranks caused by Huston’s announced intention of sticking to his post as na- tional party chairman is apparent, par- ticularly with the biennial congressional election not many months distant. ‘This may find an expression in con- ferences with Republican congressional leaders, which President Hoover is plan- ning for the next few days and it is expected, too, that it will be reflected in the coming meeting of the executive committee.
