ILL ROGERS, playing the soft-hearted financier, on an ocean liner and among the sheiks of the desert, does a great many things to warrant the title, “Business and Pleasure,” given his new motion pic- ture, at the Fox Theater. He is as wise as others who succumb to the wiles of the woman adorned with the Orien- News of Washington's Theaters. rugged, stalwart and amusing dig- nity. Even the plates don't shat- ter his compasure. The stage show, a kind of vaude- ville revue in which there is a good adagio team, is chiefly enlivened by Joe Cook, that of come- le Jugglh and inventions. One of m\:“m;? like- able of all laugh kings, he includes that hilarious invention of his, which plays one dulcet note of “music” as the curtain comes down. Anything he does. as a matter of fact, is funny, which makes the *» A3 ‘which is emotional to a high degree in most of its scenes.

The picture jtself, while it has been a disappointment to some, is yet more than stimulat- ing to those who bow low before the shrine of la Garbo. In spite of an atrocious dance at the begin- ning, and some costumes which would make even Venms look un- comfortable, the picture may be viewed by Garbo gazers with great comfort, and the 1 scene, where she is led off to a certain death, should do much toward tearing the emotions limb from Limb. Garbo's puissance and the fact that she can make so little seem so much are further proof that her throne is steadfastly unassaultable. ‘While the plot makes the wily Mata far less interesting, from the war game's t of view, than she is said to have been, and the unfold- ing of the story is often confused and unconvincing, the final upshot atill makes one go out into the open air breathing vows of allegiance to this lady of the flords, who has done more than any one in the past five years to make the screen colorful and stimulating. Although Novarro is quite un- Russian in his actions and spoken sequences, he acts with his accus- tomed good taste, and is more than believable in his tenser moments. Lionel Barrymore is excellent in a kind of role in which he invariably is excellent. Others in the cast who deserve palms are the sterling actors such as Lewis Stone and— well, the whole cast.

He finds subtle but far-reaching differ- ences between the Chinese and Jap- anese which are well known in Asia and which are bound to attract atten- tion in the conflict between the two peoples. If the present fighting in the Far East continues, Dr. Hrdlicka says, the Japanese are likely to find in the ranks of their opponents tall men with brown skins and high cheekbones, who might have been recruited from an Indian reservation in the United States, standing beside men with pale com- plexions and other physical charac- teristics which, in photographs at least, render them almost indistinguish- able from the Central Asiatic Turkish tribes and in instances even from some whites. b 1 I 1 de the J Ancestral “Remnants.” Yubari, lying almost alongside the Jap- anese headquarters, continued to shell The Chinese, on the other hand, Dr i T C Hrdlicka says, are likely to find among Woosung intermitentiy, eithough i other ships which participated in to- !hfi;l (Chemies men almost indistin- day's bombardment pad withdrawn. guishable, so far as physical characters The naval bombardment continued are concerned, from the Tunghus, the throughout the day.

He is seen, too, as a young man thrown over by his lady friend, instead of having to knock her down (as has been his cinematic wont) for her over-heavy fondness for him. The story—more than vaguely familiar—is a harmless exhibition of a young millionaire, who on find- ing that his flance has forgotten him while he fights the good fight in France, marries a slightly rough- and-tough young lady, whom he has just met and with whom he is not at all in love. When, the next morn- ing. he finds himself with an unex- pected wife, he tells her good-by, offers to pay her off, heads out to the great wide open spaces to get & new lease on life, and once there finds that his “wife” has somehow gotten there ahead of him. In des- peration he tries by various and sundry means to get rid of her— but in the end succeeds only in dis- covering that he has been in love with her all along. ‘While there 1s nothing startling in this film there is also nothing objectionable, and the sight of such handsome faces as Madge Evans and Lois Moran do much toward making it a real pleasure. Miss Moran, however, seems always cast Rev.

Six of them followed up a bombardment which was begun by Japanese howitzers in the fog and mist. The heavy fire scattered menacing Chinese troop concentrations, the Japanese naval command said.

About 9:30 am. the six airplanes wheeled to the north toward the Woo- sung forts. Clouds of fog and smoke hung over the Whangpoo and the planes disappeared in them, leaving Chapei quiet. Meanwhile the Chinese waited impatiently for tne arrival of four squadrons of therr own planes from Canton. New units of Chinese infantry were being thrown into the line to resist the big push the Japanese were expected to make. The Japanese forces had been increased by upward of 20,000 additional soldiers. A Japanese spokesman said large | bodies of additional troops were off Woosung and they would probably be landed within a few days. The spokes- man at Japanese naval headquarters said the warships were having things sbout as they pleased at Woosung.

The links with the less Mongoloid and Caucasian peoples come from three sources—the nomadic Central Asian tribes of Turkish affiliations which have infiltrated into China through the cen- turies, the Euorpeans who have reached westernmost China, and the Hindu population of Northern India. There is also a small Jewish element in the Chinese population. which has retained in some measure its individuality. Difference Mostly Mental.

They evidently are derived from a later offshoot of the basic stock with which the Eskimos also are ai- filiated.
