LATE CENSUS FIGURES SHOW SLIGHT SHIFT Zess Than One-Half of 1 Per Cent Moved From East to West. ‘With the Mississippi River as the di- viding line, the shift of population from East to West, as a result of the 1930 census, has amountad to less than one- half of 1 per cent of the total popu- lation. An even 70 per cent of the total ulation in 1920 lived East of the mllldppL while 30 per cent had chosen the vast territory west of the river as a dwelling place. ‘The 1930 census figures, compiled by the Associated Press from supervisors' Teports, showed 69.6 per cent of the to- total population still living on the East side; 30.4 per cent on the West. Away back in the old days before Morace Greely told young men to go West, not enough people livest West of the Mississippi to cut much figure in the census. As late as 1850 the East had 91.4 per cent of the population, the ‘West only 8.6. ARRESTS BY PARK POLICE UNDER INVESTIGATION Supt.

The quality which gives to “Journey’s End” its greatness is not readily copled, and it 'is not present in “The Dawn Patrol” which is, however, the best portrayal of war in the air yet seen in Wash- ington.

ISSUES BENCH WARRANT FOR FORMER ATTORNEY Herman Shapiro, Who Defended Mrs. Oesterreich, Wanted for New Trial. By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, August 9.—A bench warrant was issued yesterday for Her- man Shapiro, former attorney for Mrs. Walburga Oesterreich, to return him from New York as a witness in her trial on a charge of slaying her husband, Fred Oesterreich, Wealthy garment manufacturer, eight years ago. Shapiro was attorney for Mrs. Oes- terreich when murder charges against her were dismissed several years ago. He caused reopening of the case with an affidavit accusing Otto Sanhuber, “attic lover” of the widow, of slaying Oesterreich. He appeared as a witness against Sanhuber, who was convicted of man- statute of limitations. CARNIVAL SCHEDULED Church of the Nativity Sponsors Benefit Entertainment. Arrangements have been completed by the Church of the Nativily, Bright- wood, for a carnival and bazaar for the benefit of church activities, on the church grounds, opening August 18 and continuing through August 23. The carnival will be under the direc- tion of Father B. F. Hannaman, as gen- eral chairman, assisted by the follow- ing subchairmen: B. B. Ruchardt, ex- penses; Thomas W. Lyons, advertising; Charles O’Connor, property; George E. Suilivan, reception; C. Eugene Edwards, publicity; Frank Landvoigt, grounds; John Ahern, decorations; A. Meegan, slaughter and later freed under the | handles a difficult part with the skill of the true artist that he is. Playing for the first time a major role without a woman op- posite, Barthelmess readily demon- strates that despite his skill in the art of making love he is still what is known as a man’s man. In this picture Douglas Fairbanks, jr., graduates once and for all from the ranks of the juveniles. He plays the daredevil with the same facility and ease which ranked his father high in the photoplay firmament. No less skilfull are Neil Hamilton and Edmund Breen, but they have less_difficult jobs. The picture opens during the days of 1917, when the odds in the air were heavily in favor of death. Hope- lessly ~inexperienced, the young Britishers go up into the clouds and die, easy victim to the superior skill and equipment of their adversaries. An effort is made in the picture to capture the spirit of blind heroism, in which these young men go to their deaths. It is a difficult thing to do, and to the directors must go the credit for the considerable suc- cess they have attained. “The Dawn Patrol” brings out some of the best and most daring flying ever seen on a moving picture screen. Crashes are staged with a realism which leaves the spectator riveted to his chair and wondering how, if in any way, such bloodshed ::nzbe Justified. 'g;rlndmnm lose their st as one watches a young man crash to his death in a flaming plane. A news reel and a comedy skit billed as “A Looney Tune,” complete the bill. —J. C. “Hell's Island” Warm Entertainment at Fox, “HELL'S ISLAND,” the current attraction at the Fox, after all is said and done, is a warm anti- dote for the hot weather that is en- enveloping humanity in general, re- gardless of the humidity in the air. “The picture depicts the conven- tional story one associates with the Forelgn Legion—firmly imbedding it by repetition. In it is the hot, dry desert along with the flaming love that springs from the hearts of the Legionnaires, all staged in cheap cafes. Jack Holt, Ralph Graves and Dorothy Sebastian have the leading roles. Mac and Griff, respectively, two hardy veterans of the Legion, fall madly in love with Marie, a cafe dancer with the usual gold-digging instincts. Action moves slowly, and the crux of the situation is past al- most before one realizes it. Little exciting things, like battles in the desert, seem as nothing. Marle mar- ries Mac in order to get on Hell's Island, where Griff, her chosen one, is imprisoned. She fools Mac, how- ever, into thinking she loves him, and Mac finds it out after his arrival on the island, where he has volun- teered to finish his enlistment in the legion, as a guard. He plans a “diabolical” plot to kill Griff, be- cause he thinks that Griff shot him in the back. After he discovers his mistake he enables Griff to escape with Marie—and is himself shot as the escaping convict. Marle and Griff, of course, live happily ever after. Frankie Jenks, the new master of ceremonies presides over the “Coral,” Fanchon & Marco idea, and Frankie also goes over big with the crowd. He is a reminder of Irving Fisher, former master of ceremonies at the Fox, employing the same line of prattle. ‘The Royal Samoans, rhylng native music of Samoa and in native cos- music; M.

President Hoover yesterday received a carved buffalo horn from a group of picked Boy Scouts from Camp Roose- velt, camp of the Washington Boy Scout Council. This gift, which was carved by some of the Scouts and in- tended to be symbolic of pioneer days, was given to the President as a token of their respect and admiration for the President of the United States and the honorary president of the Boy Scouts of America. ‘The gift also is intended to serve as a birthday present, Mr. Hoover's birth- day anniversary, being next Sunday. rear grounds of the White House and the President and a group of his visitors were 'photographed.

This suave and talented actor, who achieved success in making real the amateur sleuth, Philo Vance, hero of Van Dine’s murder stories, now is turning out an equally pol- ished characterization of one who, if not a real crook, certainly glides close to the edge in this, his latest film, as a brilliant criminal lawyer. He 1s admirably supported, although more or less incidentally, by the charming Kay Francis, who_is seen as an actress heroine who has her mind set on marrying the hero, even though he appears rather lukewarm toward the proposition,. showing rather a strong inclination to have his cake and eat i, too. Willlam B. Davidson, asithe district attor= ney, also presents a creditable char- acterization. The story concerns a brilliant lawyer with anti-prohibition ten- dencies and a flair for saving crooks from the iron grasp of the law. Several such cases are shown in the course of the film, and it is obvious that the audience responds as en- thusiastically and spplaudingly to Mr. Powell's popularity in the crook world as the crooks in the picture do. Of course, the big case comes when the rival for Miss Francis’ scseen affections gets into a jam for a roadside manslaughter. To pro- tect the beautiful heroine, who really was driving the car that knocked out a poor. innocent milkman doing his duty at 5 am. somewhere ofit on Long Island, Mr. Powell bribes a juryman to bring about a “hung- jury” verdict. The attempt to bribe leaks out and 1is pounced upon eagerly by the district attorney and his cohorts. As a result, in the fade-out, Mr. Powell is seen riding into the gates at Sing Sing, telling Miss Francis, who stands humbly at the side of the car in the pouring rain, that when she comes back at the end of his term he will have the ‘wedding ring all arranged for. The story is excellently told, with good suspense and a sense reality that holds the respectful attention of the audience. It is a top-hole pic- ture of its type. In addition, there is Graham Me- Namee's voice and intriguing person- ality explaining everything irom the R-100 to Mr. Hoover's Summer ‘White House on the Rapidan through The Evening Star-Universal news reel; a short film, “Many Moons,"” featuring South Sea Island scenery and the song, “Moonlight and Roses”; a comedy, “Resolutions,” with Billy House, that draws many laughs, and a most amusing Disney cartoon, ;Mickey Mouse,” with Span- ish tunes and caricature settings. ~—H. F. Joe Cook—"Rain or Shine” A Roar of Fun in a Weary Land. OP course, Joe Cook and his lu- dicrous personification of non- sense, “Rain or Shine,” had to .be held over at R-K-O Keith's. It might just as well have been titled “The Show Must Go On,” a tradi- tion in the profession which has so often been heroically vindicated by players of all types that it has come to symbolize the highest serv- ice in response to the call of duty. But Joe's show is no panorama of sacrificial service. Iy is a veritable howl of delight, and certainly, dur- ing the warm wave that has plunged Washington into the depths of depression, it has proved an ir- resistible injunction to forget the weather. It was only natural to make the background of the story a circus with its sideshow freaks. But Joe Cook and his gallant band of laugh forcers needed no story, no back- nd. The result might have en the same to just turn them loose—and then advise the audience to hold its sides. But Joe had to make that circus go on, regardless of the machinations of the villainous ringmaster and the lion tamer, even in the teeth of the despicable meanness of the weather man. He did make it go on—and how! ‘True, Joe has his old stage asso- clates, Tom Howard and Dave Chasen, reinforced with the comic talents of Louise Fazenda. But every minute and all the time there is Joe foiling fate, while his au- dience roars with laughter. How can you review such a show? Of what use is a review? Joe Cook in “Rain or Shine” is one of those things that were never intended to be reviewed: you can't eriticize them for laughing. O. M. L.
