In his latest Metro-Goldwyn pro- duetion, ‘“The Rag Man,” which is coming to the Capitol theater April 12, 18, 14 and 15, Jackle Coogan has a story that is timely in its ap- plication, for it is a beautiful argu- ment against race prejudices— though of course its reason for exist- ence is not to preach, but to enter- tain, The storyy written by Willard Mack, tells of a little Trish hoy who falls into the hands of a junk dealer, betome his active, and finally his “senlor” partner, and throughout is his tormenting, adorable and aggra- vating little comrade. There 1s plenty of pathos, but there is more than even the usual quota of “Coogan Comedy"” In this picture. Eddie Cline was given the post of director by Jack Coogan, Sr., and was instructed to “make it the funniest picture that Jackie has ever starred in.” “ROARING RAILS” AT PALACE Beginning. today for a three day run the Palace s offcring as the hig photoplay ‘feature, “Roaring Ralls" adapted from the Saturday Evening Post story of the same name and featurjng Harry Carey in the lead- ing role.

The united right, or conservative element, puts forth the claim that it represents the natlonal bourgeois movement. Its nomination of the old war hero, I'lefd Marshal Van Hin- denburg, however, has caused the three republican parties, with ex- Chancellor Dr, Wilhelm Mark as thelr candidate, to throw the gage of battle as a test between the ele~ ments of reaction and the cham- plons of democratic progress, While declaging that injury has been inflicted on Germany's prestige abroad through the nomination of the field marshal, the leaders of the Weimar coalition insist they wel- come the challenge issued by the united right. They say it affords the Garman people an opportunity to render a declsive, cleancut verdiet on the question of its future palitical destinies. The united right insists that the election is to determine whether so- cialism and its communistic appen- dage is to be perpetuated, while the Weimar coalition partles make the defense that the republica constitu- tion and the promulgation of a just program of taxation is the key to their campaign, Ix-Chancellor Dr, Marx will stump Germany in behalf of his candidacy. Just how far Iield Marshal Von Hindenburg wlil participate in the campaign has not been decided. There is a strong inclination in the ranks of his manage to confine his participation to “front porch speech- es” in Hanover, as it is believed his public appearance in the metropoli- tan centers would be coupled with hazards of various sorts. The fleld marshal is averse to un- faverable publicity, especially the brand that would be given him in meetings packed by communists and socialists, SMUGGLERS CAUGHT Tampa, Fla., April 9.—Telegrams | to feedral officers today from Sher- | iff Tippins of Lee county sald that 14 smuggled aliens had been captured. | WILL ASK REPRIEVE.

This happened after a snowstorm last January, when Ryan was oblig- ing his friend and neighbor, John A. Mesick, who lives next door to Mrs, Conrad, by shoveling the snow off the Mesick sidewalk. Mrs. Conrad accused Mr. Ryan of shoveling the | Meslck snow onto her sidewalk. Words followed. Other neighbors testified at the | hearing before Judge Edward Mark- |ley in the First Criminal Court. Mrs. Mitheson, maid in the Mesick houschold, said she was shaking a| carpet sweeper out the window, and |that Mrs. Conrad, from her windovw, | “dirty forelgner” mm‘ called Tier a should be made to go back to what- | ever country she hailed from.
