The entire program changes tomorrow and brings a new vaudeville show head- ed by the Elida Dancers in “Jazz- ing the Nursery Rhymes” and Cas- tleton and Mack, the Broadway comedians, and other high class of- ferings, “Steamboat Bill, Jr." called by many who have seen it, Buster Kea- ton's funniest comedy, will head the bill, The frozen-faced funny man who gave us such farces as “College,” “The General” and “Go West,” now hecomes the weil-bred son of & bur- |COlor and emotion for the human |divers of the lifting hooks or *pad ly Mississippi river boat captain, When things start going from bad to worse for the father, his “softy"” son arrives on the scene. Bill Jr. doesn’t exactly give dad any helping hand when he falls in love with the daughter of the rival captain, nor docs he help tr regain the business which the other has stolen from his father. However, a cyclone comes along and then Buster—but it does- 't require such imagination to think of the antics he indulges in! Beginning Sunday the Strand will offer Alice White in “Naughty Baby" with Jack Mulhall, GRAND THEATER, HARTFORD Comedians there are aplenty in Mutual Burlesque and other branches of theatricals who cover their faces with lines and make-up to simulate a smiling countenance, but Harry Evanson, featured fun- &ter with Kitty Madison in “Jazz Time Revue” which has been send- ing the spectators into gales of laughter at the New Grand all week. is the direct antithesis of this form of comic. Evanson has been liken- cd to Buster Keaton by so many crities that it is a generally accepted fact that he is imitating the frozen faced funster of the mjovies. How- ever, this is not the case, Stage history proved by dated programs shows that Evanson was playing his present “boob” character with the same methods years before Keaton had given his unsmiling face to the motion pictures. Evanson is one of the most serious comedians in the business and goes about his work in a manner that has pleased Hart- ford's burlesque fans immensely, German Volksbund Issues a Denisl Kattowitz, Upper Silesla, Poland, Dec, 19.—~M—The German Volks- bund, the organization whose activi- ties were sharply criticized at Lu- £ano by August Zaleski, foreign min- ister of Poland, today issued an open letter asserting that the charges made before the council of the league of nations were not war- ranted. The bund had complained to the league respecting Poland's treatment of German minorities and the letter asserted that the right to dofiw had been recognized since 1928, The society said that under a rrevious provinclal governor most of the German complaints had been remedied without appeal to the league. It added that under the present governor appeal through the international body was the only recourse. The bund emphasized that it had always {insisted that its members should carefully live up to their full duties as Polish citizens. Charges of disloyalty by its members to Poland were denied. Carrie Jacobs-Bond’s Son Takes Own Life Lake Arrowhead, Calif, Dec. 19 (UP)—Near a phonograph on which rested a record of his mother's most famous song, Fred Jacobs Smith son of Carrie Jacobs-Bond, the fa- mous composer, ended his life yes. terday by shooting himself through the head. The spring on the machine had run down and a dulled needle rest- ed in the center of the disc which bore the title “A Perfect Day,” best known as “The End of a Perfect Day,” written by his mother in 1910. Presence of only one set of tracks in the snow outside the summer residence and letters to his tamily in which he referred to worry over his health, caused a coroner's jury to return a verdict of suicide last night. SEPARATE ON CHRISTMAS Worcester, Mass., Dec. 19 (UP)— Married on Christmas day, 1923, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur W. Keddie sep- arated on Christmas day, 1927, and yesterday, just one week before Christmas, the husband obtained a divorce on the ground of cruelty.

CONGRESS VOTES SELF A HOLIDAY Deciding o Rest Washington, Dec. 19 (®—Con- gress began to get ready for Christ- riod which will last from December 22 to January 3. At the same time the senate de- cided to lay aside one issue on which a fight is being made untfl after New Year's day. The Kellogg treaty to renounce war was formally present- ed to the foreign relations commit- tee, but the senators decided that these pre-holiday days were not the days for its consideration. In the house another of the big appropriatjons bills was introduced. It called for §$111,779,000 to run the state, justice, labor and commerce departments next year. An item of $19,000,000 was included for the ex- penses of taking the 1930 census. The business before the senate was the bill to prohibit interstate commierce in prison made goods. In the house Representative John Gar- ner of Texas, obtained the floor long enough to shoot some darts in the direction of Secretary Mellon, who, he asserted, had been mislead- ing in utterances concerning the condition of the nation’s finances in general. Meeting Called A meeting of the senate public lands committee was called to fur- ther consider the nomination of Roy O. West of Illinois, as secretary of the interfor. It was indicated that the ground that the sccretary, as a member of the federal power com- mission, might have to pass upon applications of the S8amuel Insull in- terests. West recently told the com- mittee he had once held stock in In- | sull companies, but had disposed of | it before joining the cabinet.
