SPAIN FINES PAPER IGNORING CENSORSHIP Editions With Interview With Cuban Ambassador Also Con- fiscated by Police. By the Associated Press. MADRID, August 2—The government yesterday ordered the police to confiscate editions of the newspaper Heraldo de Madrid and fined the paper 1,000 pesetas (about $120) because it published an | interview with the Cuban Ambassador, Garcia Kohly, without first submitting the story to the censor. ‘The interview was regarded as friend- 1y to the Ambassador, but the authori- ties maintained the censor must pass upon such articles. Some criticism had been manifested ! here regarding a book written by the Ambassador in which he discusses the history of Rolltics of Spain, and par- ticularly the colonization policy of Spain preceding the Spanish-American ‘War. The interview quoted the Ambassador a8 saying he would rather resign and geturn to Cuban than have his country blamed for anything that might be mis- eonstrued in his book.

Give President Invitation to| Attend Air Races in Chicago. By the Arjociated Press. ‘Woman fiyers nowadays can go direct from flying fleld to a reception without a change of costume. Only a whiff of their powder puffs was neces- sary to prepare Phoebie Omlie and Blanche Wilcox Noyes to meet Presi- dent Hoover yesterday after they had plloted _their "boudoir-like little aerial coupes here from Chicago. They presented the President with a huge floral invitation to attend the na- tional air races in Chicago August 23 to September 1. Under their leather flying coats the two women wore smart Summer suits suitable for almost any occasion. With the comfort of , modern, inclosed lanes, they explained, need for heavy reeches and leather leggings for wom- en has gone. Plane Cabin Inclosed.

She el{g:cu to fly the same g're of plane in coming women's ixie derby, which ds part of the na- tional air races. The contestants will start from Washington August 22 on a five-day race for a $4,000 purse. Mrs. Omlie won the 1929 women's derby. Proudly she called attention to the red leather cushions, the colored enamel control knobs and the little blue sky- light curtain, which keeps the sun from burning a fair pilot’s neck. She took off her helmet, passed a rowder puff over her nose and smil- ngly said she was ready to meet the President as soon as she had changed her stockings, which were a bit grease 8] l;&ur‘etm She wore a green and white silk suit. Mrs, Noyes Needed Gas. Mrs. Noyes sailed in a bit the party. She was wearing blue knitted te for light » suit under her leather coat. She was held up, she explained, by the necessity for getting more gas in Pitts- burgh. Another girl fiyer who met the Presi- dent was Nancy Hopkins, 21-year-old Washington girl, who flew from New York for the week end. She, too, re- vealed a smart blue and white linen costume under her coat. In place of 8 helmet she wore a little green beret. Nancy, however, when told she was invited to the White House, said she “just must go home and change her ! She later appeared tl Executive Mansion wearing a ort- sleeved dress of yellow linen and a white sports hat.

Homemade Glider Drops With Owner 133 Feet Into River Rubber Vest, Also Home- made, Keeps Him Afloat Until Tug Arrives. By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, August 2—Harry, Hodge, ex-sailor and inventor, put his homemade collapsible glider under his arm yesterday, took a subway train to High Bridge and hopped off over Har- lem River, 133 feet below. Just as he settled himself for a long spin a wing bolt broke and his hickory and cloth-covered craft dumped him into the stream. A rubber vest—also homemade—kept him afloat until the crew of a tug pulled him from the water and brought him ashore in the Bronx. The glider sank. Hodge was in a hospital last night with injuries to his stomach, liver and | spleen, and his condition was described as “fair.” But he was still able to say that when he recovers he will prove the worth of his invention by another—and successful—flight. | Students Movie Costs Cut.

Any place should, of course be cheery with Mr. Cantor in _it. QOne of Mr. Ziegfeld's most justly glorified stars, his knack of entertaining is of that ef- fervescent vul’; which ;&{)bllng over 'at all times. His re- volving eyes and the restlessness of his hands and feet, together with & never-stay-put manner of delivery, now, as always, make him one of the most—if not the most—satis- ing of comedians. (yMg. Cantor, furthermore, may be consistently relied upon for fresh- ness of material, his stories and his songs never giving indication of the past. They are blessed, %00, with that touch of off-colorism, without which Eddie Cantor would never be Eddie Cantor. Certainly he is a pleasant birthday present, not only to Warner Bros, but to the vast public, which as early as yesterday at noon was beginning to storm the theater’s portals. = Wwith “Bright Lights,” the current film attraction, the Warners have not been so fortunate. A semi- original but illogical cinema plot, blessed—or rather hampered—with a backstage atmosphere and people who, except for the genial reporter, one would want to shoot, the whole film may be said really to fall flat. Its assets are Dorothy Mackaill, dressed scantily, if at all; a really funny chorus meant to be dancing in a cafe show somewhere in South Africa; a song sung nicely by Frank Fay, the slightly unstable reporter, who provoked a laugh every time he appeared, and one or two tfechni- color paintings coloring the scts effectively. ‘What the story is meant to prove is that, although Frank Fay, character, wants to give up Miss Mackaill, his pal of the stage, s0 that she may marry a rich and blue- blooded man, true love will out, as they say, and as the curtain de- scends there is Dorothy in a never~ get-away grip with Frank. In spite of the noble moral that arises in this, it all seems a bit con- fusing, since the camera jumps from backstage to South Africa, from South Africa to a dressing room, from a dressing room to a sideshow and back' again to a dressing room, where Noah Beery, at whom Dorothy hurled an oil lamp in Africa, has just been shot. In other words, full of the stuff that is meant to appeal vastly to a thirsty movie public, the picture is, mevertheless, a lengthy hodge-podge with never a “clicking” moment. Furthermore, Noah Beery is shot before he can do any singing, which is a great, big mistake. ‘The cast, minus the reporter, + needs no especial mention. ‘Warner's anniversary theme song, a “hobo” Vitaphone Variety, a news- reel and “The Star Spangied Bsn- ner” completed yesterday's program. E. de 8. M. Eddie Cantor. “Cheer Up and Smile” When You See the Fox Feature. 'HE title of the current attraction at the Fox, “Cheer Up and Smile,” is recommended as a mental exercise to be repeated at five min- ute intervals during the running time of the picture. Without sych psychological stimulus, what goes on in the story may cause quite the opposite effect. Possiblly the recent heat wave was still hanging heavily over the Fox studios when this comedy was con- templated. Certainly what has emerged will do nothing to minimize it. A saccharine yarn, graced with a staff of actors with a predilection to overact, possibly, are its chief defects. An outstanding virtue that may be found is the briefness of its running time, about 50 minutes. ‘The fundamental thesis spreading itself thickly over the story is that every time it rains Arthur Lake—a pleasant young actor who has been abused unmercifully—catches cold. ‘This is the doctrine that is meant to make this a riotous comedy.

Baclanova “falls” for Arthur Lake while he is appearing as a drummer boy at & niiht club;. that in the middle of hold-up in the broadcasting station, Arthur is forced by the bandits to sing, and that on account of that he springs to front page headlines and immortality. There is a sweet young girl lurk- ing amidst the cows and daisies in the home town, who is waiting for Arthur, and who eventually makes him give up the wicked city for the pastoral joys of the great, big, wide open warm air of the country. Director Lanfield doubtless did, or did not, his best to make the actors act like comedians, but none of them, except Arthur Lake, is ever very funny. Oharles Judels is the most notable example of the lay- it-on-thick class. Fanchon and Marco’s “Pleasant Idea” is carried out very nicely on the stage, its stars being the Beicher Dancers, a group of lads and lassies who do a dance routine together with a degree of perfection that should carry them far and wide. For approximately 10 minutes they “tap” and “shuffie” around the stage in a series of perfected gyrations that must wear out many shoes and some dispositions. Other items of note include June Worth, dancing with original and elastic grace, and Johnson and Duker, throwing, literally, their hats to the winds and getting them back again. Minus the new master of cere- “monies, Frankie Jenks, who seems to have missed his train or some- thing, the show goes on just the same under the personal supervision of Leon Brusiloff, who wields his baton with accustomed fervor. Fox Movietone news and an interesting display by the Bureau of Mines in the lobby are especlally worthy of attention. E.DES. M. Eric Von Stroheim Stars at Metropol EE!C VON STROHEIM, in a role in which he displays t ability, wins major honors in “Three Faces Bast,” the offering this week at the Metropolitan, which is based upon the well known play. Constance Bennett, whose blood beauty has enhanced many a star- ring vehicle, stars with Von Stro- heim, but there is no doubt to whom the greater laurels belong. Miss Bennett has a much easier part than Von Stroheim, but she ac- quits herself far above its demands. Von Stroheim, as the super spy, moves through the whole film with the glory of the Fatherland within his grasp, victory a shining goal for which he works in the camp of the foe, in this instance, the British. Planted to obtain information rela- tive to transport ship movements, he finds himself powerless, and Agent Z-1, Constance Bennett, is ael;‘r:' from Wilhelmstrasse to assist Unknown to Von Stroheim and to the German high command, Agent Z-1 is a British ace, sent to t Blecker, the super 8he alls in love with him, ins 3 in the story each pursues his her relentless purpose in a thrilling drama that ends in the death of Blecker at Constance’s hands.

ALTHOUOH there are those that claim that Ronald Colman is & far ory from their conception of & 100 per cent “Raffles.” the pictur- ization of the events in this gentle- man crook’s spectacular life, now running its course successfully at Loew's Columbia for a second week, is superlor from many points of view. Disregarding the fact that Col- man may or may not be Aunt Kate's or Uncle Pete’s sentimental concep- tion of the amateur cracksman, as inspired by Kyrle Bellew, or the magazine pulp of their day, Colman is certainly a likeable fellow and an actor who can make much out of little. He demonstrates the charm of his art to a marked degree in this film. Neither bolstered by a story of the first rank nor blessed with dialogue crackling with clever- ness, he nevertheless comports him- self with much dignity and intel- ligence of manner, so that his per- formance may be said to hold the eye as well as the ear throughout. Furthermore, any opportunities that may offer themselves to make the audience yawn over the story are immediately dispelled by the warm and exciting presence of Kay Francis, who is hereby recommended net only as a lovely heroine, but as Mr. Coleman’s most inflammatory foil since the days of Vilma Banky. ‘The fact that she can make a crook reform seems quite believable and, although her role may not be one of the largest, she certainly makes it one of the most delightful and total- 1y bellevable ones in the picture, “Raffles” is not the epitome of modern crook cinema yarns, ner is it rife with supersense. But it has that certain something, a smooth- flowing and pleasing something, that makes for what is called “good en- tertainment.” ~ Whether you feel that Colman is or is not Raffles personified, whether you have a suspicion that mayhap Grandma was overindulging her imagination when she said this was “the best play ever,” you cannot deny that this film isn’t comedy of the com- fortable sort that mortals from 6 to 90 would willingly see. “Raffles” is rurrounded by shorter screen subjects, newsreel, and the Columbia Orchestra bursting forth at appropriate times.

By the Associated Press. DETROIT, August 2—Egbert M.

Mayor Bowles described Hofmann as “a young man of means, interested in aiding police in rounding up violators of the narcotic drug laws.” Police found a bank book issued to Hofmann in an apartment occupied by Marjorie Mansell, “blues” singer for station WMBC, and Pete Licavoll, notorious gangster, who has eluded police since Buckiey was slain. Detec- tives said Miss Mansell admitted she was Licavoll’s sweetheart, but that they abtained no further information from her after a day of questioning. She | was arrested Thursday night.
