DANES GLADLY RID OF VIRGIN ISLANDS Wet Monte Carlo Proposal for Repurchase Urged by Some Politicians. COPENHAGEN, Denmark, May 2 (N.AN.A.).—"President Hoover is right | when he says the Virgin Islands are| now an ‘effective poor house” But it is the fault of the Americans them-| selves. It was not a poor house they | took over from Denmark.” | This comment upon Mr. Hoover's re- cent remarks on economic conditions in | the Virgin Islands is made by the last Danish governor there, Helweg Larsen. Mr. Hoover's remarks probably were read with even more interest in Den- mark than in the United States. But no person now_holding office is willing to comment. The members of the pres- ent government, it they were willing w[ speak, undoubtedly would say it was a | good thing Denmark parted with the islands, and that the cost of putting them on a paying footing had beeni taken off the shoulders of the Danish taxpayer. That view probably is shared by the mapority of the people in Den- ‘mark. Would Build U. §. Monaco. However, there are also cifcles in which Mr. Hoover’s remarks have acted as a fan to the flame of indignation | which has been burning ever since Den- mark decided to lower her flag over her West Indian goueulon and to sell it to the United States. “There are people here who would be willing at s word to start an agitation to buy the islands back, and they have their plans all worked out to change th:ti‘:llnds mmdlu a “poor house” into an a; paradise. 5 Thg would turn the islands into & new Monte Carlo, easily reached from the United States, with or in plenty and at fairly low prices.

Phil Cook Captures Fox Show. glant reaches of the Fox Theater were filled yesterday with enthusiastic masses, screaming their approval at Phil Cook, radio man extraor- dianary, whose one-man show, though it follows Amos 'n’ Andy on the air, seems nevertheless to be very nearly as popular. Mr. Cook need have no fears over his stage debut. 1t occurred yes- terday raodestly and agreeably— the only fan- fare taking place every minute or so after he had gotten under way, when what seemed like hordes of ad- mirers burst in- to exuberant, applause. As one who must be gullty to not having followed Mr. Cook along the primrose path of his radio career, it might be worth noting that his reception yesterday seemed one of the most unusual ever. There are few artists on the vaudeville circuit who can provoke applause with such continual insistence and s0 non-chalantly. To an outsider it is nothing short of a miracle to find one's next door neighbor sitting well forward with an_eager, soulful and adoring atti- tude, who suddenly without apparent provocation beats the hands together at something so absolutely innocuous as “Oh kay, Colonel.” Still, every time Mr. Cook says these magic words, and other magic words, whose meaning were even less apparant to this observer, there were myriads present who gave vent to great emotion and rocked the massive Fox walls with continued echoes. A quietly amusing entertainer, whose legion of admirers seem to extend far into every hinterland, we doff our hat with pleasure to Mr. Cook and hope there will be more like him to adorn this particular stage. As a matter of fact great credit is due the Fox Theater this week. Not satisfied with having imported Mr. Cook, it has pald a tribut> to National Music week by inviting hither groups of well-knowr musi- cian folk, who are competing daily for three large silver loving cups. Yesterday's aggregations show what an interesting novelty this is—and what a worthwhile one—and what a splendid inovation is this for every one concerned. Again, the stage show blossoms with good things. One of the most striking settings ever—an Aztec scene—with splendid adagio dancing done by John and Harriet Griffith and Harry Vernon singing “Chloe” ~—besides a troupe of handsome dancing ladies, and one of those human horses. This is a well co- ordinated “Espanola” idea whose virtues have to do not only with its sterling qualities, but in its com- pactness and briefness. Last, and probably least. is the new film “Three Girls Lost,” a light and diverting comedy which one will enjoy if properly anesthetized in ad- vance. It has, however, three ex- ceedingly comely ladies—Joan Marsh and Loretta Young especially—and if one overlooks the plot the rest is really quite easy to enjoy. Also in the cast—for the benefit of the ladies is John Wayne—and also for the Phil Cook. Pierce Hall Players in “The Romantic Young Lady.” ‘HE Pierce Hall Players have a play that's “lily-sweet” romance. If you have tired of the perfume- less “geranium” of realism and yearn for a happy ending, after being ‘wafted sweetly through three acts of entertaining and sentimental love comedy, you'll enjoy “The tic Young Lady,” which will be present- ed for the second and last time in the parish hall at All Souls’ Church tonight, the first performance hav- ing been given last night. A dreamy, illusional senorita lives with three spoiled, fun-loving broth- ers and a grandmother who has buried three husbands, knows the right moment to, have nerves, to faint and to employ many other means to snare male hearts. Alone in her living room one night, the senorita is surprised by a love-spe- cializing novelist, who climbs in the window, presumably to retrieve a hat that had blown in upon the floor. Subsequently he gets his hat, a sec- retary and a wife, and the senorita gets romance. The feminine character portrayals stand out. Catherine Palmer Mitchell, as the decrepit grandmother, knows the enduring tolerance old faces can bear and knows, too, when sitting down, that aged persons drop most of the way. Laura Stockton Voor- hees as the lovelorn girl and Naomi Trotter as the maid, who “never eavesdrops,” but who always knows what has been sald in her absence, offer especially effective perform- ances. Roy Gezelius, in the male lead, carries the 1ole of novelist with a whimsicality that wins his audience, despite its feeling that he appears young to have achieved literary fame. It is he who voices the spirit of the play in the last act, when he tells the romantic young lady that “the way to get the best out of even the most serious things in life is to keep one’s sense of humor.” “Born to Love” Real Drama at Keith's. JRIGINAL and intelligent in plot, “Born to Love,” shown at R. K. O. Keith's, with Constance Bennett, Joel McCrea and Paul Cavanagh in the leading roles, is convincing evi- dence that it is possible to create drama which conforms to the high- est traditional standards end make it & smashing success. Moving along from climax to climax and disclosing the tangled lives of three innocent victims of fate, all governed by the ultimate fortunes of a child, the story is one triangle which is entitled to accept- ance as a truthful picture of life. The play touches events of human | We Give Property ~ UR understanding of of the organization whi created—places us in a here. management—residential, office building, business, apartment house—and the efficiency ceptional service—resulting beneficially for the property and profitably for the owner. PROMPT REMITTANCES are the rule RANDALL H. HAGNER & GOMPANY MOBTGAGE LOAN CORRESPONDENT appeal in the cl ‘World War, and its p cellence is based upon the little ine cidents of battle combined with scenes on a wealthy English estate. The suspense, free from the artifices of the ordinary theatrical produc- tion, comes frequently with the force of sympathy for the dominance of those sparkling qualities that are inherent in loyal minds. The final scene, coming with the charm of the utterly unexpected, bring period of suffering to an abrupt con- clusion. It is due to the work of Miss Ben- nett. effectively assisted by Messrs. McCrea and Cavanagh, that a good plot is made to serve the excellent purpose of impressive drama. Miss Bennett loses none of her ability to play upon the varying emotions that are easily associated with the situa- tion that efisted in the war zone, where close assoclation for a moment might give way to remoteness in the moves of military strategy. She is capable in the lighter scenes of de- votion to routine duty, as well as in the moments of romantic interest, and has the capacity to rise to the tragic when fate is unkind. Mr. McCrea is an actor who has made consistent strides on the screen. Endowed with physical characteris- tics that give him a conspicuous fig- ure, and a countenance which dis- closes refinement and capacity for thought, he meets the demands of an acting role with the finer inter- pretation that would seem to promise even greater successes than have yet been shown to his credit. In more conventional form, Mr. Cavanagh does his work with intelligence. Frederick Kerr and Louise Closser Hale, in character roles, are indis- pensable to the plece of serious drama. The large cast also includes Anthony Bushell, Claude King, Mary Forbes, Elizabeth Forrester, Edmond Breon, Reginald Sharland, Dalsy Belmore, Fred Esmelton and Martha Mattox. The Keith program also offers a strong minor comedy and the usual routine features. D.C.C. i PR Artists’ Widow Dies.
