GANG SLAYSFOUR INGROCERY STORE Only Baby Escapes Fire of Racketeers in Pittsburgh. Low Ebb for Gloria in “What a Widow.” T is with much sorrow that the verdict on the recent Gloria Swanson film, “What a Widow,” offered at the Columbia, is something akin to a groan. For, probably more appealing to look at than ever, more versatile in actions and more lovely in voice, Miss Swanson has yet .

GLEVELAND. - Ohio, October 4.— Nicholas _Longworth, ' of _Cincinnati, speaker of the Holise of Representatives, said here last night that the Democrats would make some gains in his branch of the Congress but that the Republic- ans would retain control. Normal 'Democratic districts _that weat Republican in the Hoover land- slide of 1928 are likely to return to the Demdcratic fold A5 & natural reaction, he 'said, but the outlook is not for sweeping Democratic gains in normaliy Republican _territory. ohibition, ‘he said,” has become a major issue in many congressional races. Ohio was described by the speaker, who is a Republican, as “safely publican.” He said he had no reason to Worry as o his own re-election. CHARLES E. DURYEA PUTS ;OLD CARS IN MUSEUMS Inventor of ‘“Horseless Carriage” f Days Perpetuating Name Through Gifts. NEW YORK, October 4 (N.AN.A).— ‘The name “Duryea” may mean little to 8 generation familiar only with the powerful and fancy mgotor cars of 1930, but the oldtimers 8f the “horseless cartiage” era remember it and Charles E. Dijryea is seeing to it that the name is etuated . in the museums that tell the history of man’s mechanical contrivances, even if he can't distribute his cars on a grand scale. The,Smithsonian Institution has an early car of his designing and now he has presented to the Museum of the Peaceful Args here.a three-wheeled car, something Uke & trieycle, which he says he invented and put into use from 1899 to 1908, Equip it MLh I -cell bat- tery furnish thc three-cylinder muwr &y, ac- A policeman who entered | the store found Joseph Lobianco, 42, Hld"fle. tiresome and a continual blurb of chatter. In- deed, by the end of the whole thing cne may be guaranteed half-broken ear- drums through the monotonous persistency of the noire. Coming as it does aiter the meritorious “The Trespasser” and the still more im- portant song that Gloria sang in it, this picture is a sad disappointment. Evidently anxious to get back to her slapstick days, as well as act a role that is new, light, airy and complete- ly impossible, the star has thrown her former restraint and personality to the winds, and emerges as a kind of “ex-widow” found only in pulp magazines. She has, It is true, a few nice songs to sing, but througi the faulty method of their recording, or the director's wand, they are lost amidst the confusion that is found in almost every foot of the film Doubtless meant to be “s-phisti- cated” entertainment—under which 80 many sins are buried—the general outcome of this is what an Enga'sh- man might cell “tommy rot.” Al- though now &nd again there are flashes that are really amusing, al- though Owen Moore, as the only half-way usual kind of person in the whole thing, tries hard to raise this to some kind of a sensible level, the authors, directors, etc., have tried so hard to be “smart” and clever that they make what seems like a jumble of nonsense and & bore. ‘The story is about as meaningless as the acting. It concerns a rich young widow who—in search for love —runs off to Europe on the Ile de France, “does” Paris to a Crisp, thereby gains invitations to travel with a singer to Spain and a violin virtuoso to Russia—and ends, of course, by marrying her young law- yer friend and traveling back to America on the giant Dornier in- stead. Through all this there is non-ceasing conversation, drinking and absurdities—which might do for a time, but, filling as they do most of the picture, begin to pall after awhile, ‘The whole picture is done lavish- ly and sometimes—probably when Elsie Janis had a hand in it—clever- ly. Miss Swanson wears beautiful clothes. Lew Cody as the incessant inebriate is fairly funny, and the others, except for Owen Moore, over- act to their hearts’ content. Newsreels and comedies—and no Columbia orchestra—complete a pro- gram that some may enjoy, and some may not. E. de 8. “Africa_Speaks” at R-K-O Keith's Shows Development in Sound Films. SUCCESS in persuading the tribes of Africa and their neighbors, the wild ' beasts, to follow their normal, reckless and sensational pur- suits before the camera is demo strated in the film “Africa Speaks. which is the attraction at R-K-O Keith's for the week opening yes- terday. Paul L, Hoefler, Colorado explorer, presents the results of a trip through the least civilized por- tion of the dark continent, pass- ing the headwaters of the Nile and reaching a terminus at the Indian Ocean. Every form of life as related to man and beast found on this long Journey. has been caught by the camera, and the perfection of photography - combined with variety of subjects furnishes a striking con- trast to the first feeble attempts to “shoot” the wild beasts at play, while Gloria Swanson. PHE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, From the Front Row Reviews and News of Washingéon's Theaters. a lion in the course of a hunt. This is followed by the declaration of war by the tribe against the offend- beast, with the proclamation of a life for a life,” and the spear hunt by the natives, in the course of which two lions are made to pay the penalty, the hunters being chosen as a special class designated for this work. The picture illus- trates the phrase coined to describe the conditions in the wilds of that portion of the world—“where man is the prey of animals and animals are the prey of man.” There is filmed for the first time a devastating visitation of Abys- sinian locusts, with the desolation that followed the cloudlike swarm- ing of the pests. In addition to the scenes in Africa, the Keith program includes fables in talking cartoons, a session with Knute Rockne and his foot ball players, the news reel, scenes in Venice and other short subjects. D. C. C. “Madam Sata its Close to the Bull's-Eye. ICH, ribald, and after Cecil De Mille's own heart, “Madam smm » the new film at the Palace, is good entertainment—every bit of it. Full of De Millian orgles, boudoir scenes and situations, and dialogue that the censor must have winked at, this picture finds the eminent director at his best. It is, further- more, replete with lines that sparkle and personalities that make them- " selves known. And it has as clever a group of actors in its cast as has been seen together on the screen in a long time. ‘The story in this—that of a married lady who Js supposed to be cold in her affections toward her husband, and of the husband who therefore finds warmer “temperatures” else- where—is treated with originality and humor. It is full of surprises and actions that, although possibly not new to the screen, have yet been handled with such skill that they fresh, appealing and con- a climax, Mr. De Mille has irred his imagination to the core and emerged with a climatic plum. He has never contrived & more ef- fective scenic device, that of the ball given on the glant dirigible, which ends in the whole thing being struck by lightning and the guests having to escape with the help of parachutes. In this, as in other places, he seems to have grown wiser and funnier, for in the old days, whereas mere pictures of this sort would have been sufficient, Mr. De Mille now clothes them with a new kind of humor which adds much to the general enjoyment. And then, he has used such splendid actors as Roland Young, Kay John- son and Reginald Denny to the best of their ability, which makes every- thing just about perfect. This is a picture to be seen—early. It shows imagination, wit and such splendor as De Mille alone knows what to do with. The stage show, “Anchors Aweigh,” is headed by the Runaway Four who are amusing in their ancient but honorable act. Then there is Tito Coral, singing adequately; Ida Shibley, who throws her legs around her neck, etc., and the Chester Hale girls, full of vim, but not much co- | Headache-Eye ¢ Stram Eyes Examined ordination.

BULLET IN SHOULDER FOUND AFTER “BLOWOUT” Pedestrian Tells Police He Thinks He Was Shot by Some Hi- Jacker, but Wound Slight. NEW YORK, October % (N.AN.. The bullet that hit Cornelius McCarthy in the shoulder early yesterday got & busted nose for its pains. The six-foot, broad-shouldered Irishman walked into | a police station and said: “I got a wound in my shoulder and, ha! ha! ha! I thought it was just a tire blowing out. Me pal and me, y'see, was driving in a load of good booze before dawn and I heard a noise like a popgun. I says to pal, ‘Some poor goof's got a blow-out. Three or four hours later Cornelius felt a twinge in his shoulder and, think- ing it was rheumatism, pulled off his coat. He found his shirt stained with blood. The popgun McCarthy had heard proved to be a .38-calibre one, used, he thinks, by some hi-jacker. (Copyright. 1930. by North American News- paper Alliance.) GATHER FISH AFTER RAIN New Mexico Rancher and Wife Take Photos to Prove It. ROSWELL, N. Mex, October 4 (N.AAN.A).—The rain that fell on the | desert ranch of Joe J. Lane was not as gentle as rains should be and Lane, | looking zloft, saw catfish pouring down | from the skies. Che rain of fish continued for som:e little time,” says Lane, and he and his wife gathered about 100 pounds from an acre of ground. About 100 of the fish were still alive. The nearest water tank is 6 miles from the ranch. How the fish got into the sky Lane doesn't profess to explain, but he has photographs of the fish to prove they were.
