The production is billed as an all- star speclal and it is. Clive Brook, Mary Brian, Baclanova, William Powell, Fred Kohler and ¥ack Luden head the imposing list of talent in the cast. The story interest, unusual sets, vivid contrasts and dramatic value of the production entitle it to the rating of a special in the most complimentary sense of that term. Imagine a picture that starts out with & night hold-up of a fashion- able gambl two crooks in evening clothes, car- ries on te the grim interior of a penitentiury, shows an attempted prison break, gives intimate glimpses of social life in 2 home of wealth and culture and then depicts the terrified reactions of & woman being slowly driven mad by fear. William Powell, whose villainous characterizations made' him one of the best known heavy actors of the screen, does something in his latest role for Paramount in “Forgotten Faces™ that he has never done Before. He reforms. - In none of his previous bad man caracterizations has Powell turned ‘0 the straight and narrow path. He has gene his wicked way to the final fadeoyt and has died two or three unrepentant screen deaths.

It was late last night when the veteran campaigner returned from an all-day. motor tour ef northern Indiuna and tomorrow he sets out the week in North Dakota, Minne- sota and Wisconsin.

POLITICAL FRONTS STILL INDEFINITE Election Only Month Away But Predictions Are Futile (BY BYRON PRICE) (Associated Press Staft Writer) Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 6. (@— Still makiug its own precedents, the national campaign enters its con- cluding weeks with both sides wid- ning, rather concentrating the front of their attack. Election day now is just one month ahead. In any ordinary cam- paign, the first week of October would see a large percentage states 50 definit classified as republican or democratic as to ex- clude them from the zone of heay. fire. But not in 1928. Both Fighting Hard The democrats are cxpending precious timea and talent in such republican strongholds as Kansas und Towa, while the republicans are claiming half the electoral votes of the Bouth, and are seeking to carry the Hoover appeal to cvery voter in states like Georgia and Texas. One of the most spectacular skir- mishes of the whole campaign taking place in the south farm belt. where tor years the democratic par- ty has heen in hopeless minority. Governer Rmith's passage through North Dakotu, Minnesota and Wis- consin has heen followed by a rally- ing of his friends and foes alik Senator Borah, summoning all of | his force and eloquence to the sup-| port of Honover, has come into the | northwest to answer Smith, and is to be followed in turn by some of | the ablest of the democrats, | G. 0.

The democrats still insist that farm defections from Hoover are likely to tum this whole group of states into ti: democratic | column. While the party lcaders were disputing over Mr. Hoover's chances in the south, the republican nominee himself contributed a me- morable chapter to the southern campalgn by repudiating republican use of the religious issue agalnst Gov, Smith, | Hoover's Repudiation Referring to an anti-Cathalic tract | contributed by Mrs. Fillie W, Cald- | well, republic national commit- teewoman for Virginia, Mr. Hoover { told party workers dircctly and ex. plicitly that he wanted non~ of them to attack his opponent on the | ground of religior.
