In other words, this gal has a whole load of IT and not a little ability to act, along with it. She is one fascinating damsel. The vaudeville program has five splendid acts and offers Anderson and Yvel in “Trying to Please;” Dora Early and Co. “That Dramatic Miss;" Henry and Stafford Revue in “A Dance Fantasy;" the Bison City Four in comedy and harmony: and the 8ix Pashas in Arabian pastimes.

COMBAZY “TWO WEEKS OFF” AT CAPITOL Dorothy Mackaill and Jack Mul- hall, co-stars of a score of silent and several synchronized feature pictures made their first-costarring talkie de- but at the Capitol theater last night in “Two Weeks Off,” a First Nation- al Vitaphone picture, What Vitaphone can do to add entertainment to a first rate comedy- | drama was aptly demonstrated in | “Two Weeks Off.” Here is a splen- did story made into a clever picture | with hilarious dialogue and sound effects that add tremendously to its universal amusement qualities. There is no slowing of action in “Two Weeks Off,” the dialogue is Jjust as speedy as the story and that includes no dull moments. Mulhall and Mackaill in combination never fail to amuse and this time they click at a new and accelerated rat The audience opening night didn't | just enjoy it, they loved it. ‘This program also offers the first talking comedy of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy in “Unaccustomed As We Are.” | Beginning Sunday for four days | | the Capitol will offer the spectacular singing success “The Desert Song.” tured the South Cardiff seat from the conservatives. Aonther son of the tormer labor home secrctary also was elected yesterday. Young MacDonald Wins Malcolm MacDonald, son of the labor leader, also was returned to commons, turning the tables on his old rival, Sir Ellis Hume Williams, who defeated him last year. Colonel Wilfied Ashley ,minister of transport, was returned by a 10,- 000-vote margin, while 8ir John Gil- mour, secretary of state for Scot- land, had the wide margin of 12,000, Jack Jones, fiery labor leader, was successful at West Ham. Premier Baldwin's parliamentary private secretary was another of the conservative casualtics. C. A. U, Rhys lest his seat in Romford, Es- sex. David Lloyd George, liberal leader, refused to discuss the general situa- tion of the returns throughout the country after he had been informed of his own victory at Carnarvon Boroughs. Baldwin Is Reelected Stanley Baldwin, prime minister and leader of the conservative party, was reelected to the commons from his constituency of Bewdley, Wor- cestershire, with a <plurality of 14,018, David Lloyd George, liberal lead- er and former coalition premier, was reelected to the commons from his home constituency of Carnarvon, Wales. Surprise Defeats The polling was replete with sur- prises. Four members of the gov- ernment suffered defeat, 8ir Arthur Steel-Maitland, minister of labor, and three others not of cabinet rank. In his ancestral constituency of Birmingham, West, Sir Austen Chamberlain, foreign minister, came through with only 43 votes. T first count showed 50 but he de- | manded a recount, thinking to coun- teract the bad effect of election by such a small plurality, but the re- count reduced his majority still farther. Colonel L. C. M. 8. Amery sec- retary of state for the Dominion, Sir Samuel Hoare, secretary for air and Neville Chamberlain, minister of health, were all returned. The postmaster general of the Baldwin cabinet, Sir William Mitch- ell-Thomson, and his assistant. Lor] Wolmer, were both reelected to par- liament. J. H. Thomas. minister of colon- ies in the MacDonald labor govern- ment, was reelected for one of the two Derby city seats, Major W. Ormsby-Gore, conserva- tive undersecretary for the colonies, was reelected to the commons from | nis Stafford constituency by a ma. | jority of a little more than half that of the last election, culture, retained his seat for Suf- folk, Bury St. Edmunds, over labor and liberal opponents, Winston Churchill, chancellor of Walter Guinness, minister of a(||-| od for the Epping division of Essex today. J " Other cabinet ‘ministers returned to the commons included the follow- ing: Sir W. Joynson-Hicks, homne secretary; 8ir Austen Chamberlain, foreign secretary; Colonel L. C. M. 8. Amery, Dominion affairs and the colonies; 8ir L. Worthington Evana, war secretary; 8ir Samuel Hoars, air secretary; 8ir P. Cunliffe-Lister, president of the board of trade; Lord Eustace Percy, president of the board of education; Neville Chamberlain, minister of health. The parliamentary under secretary for foreign affairs, not of cabinet rank, G. Locker-Lampson, was re- elected. Lady Astor Wins Women candidates polled a total of 246,737 votes but only four of them had been returned to the com- mons. Lady Astor, conservative, from Sutton division, Plymouth, won by a greatly reduced majority of 211 votes after one of the most vigorous | campaigns of her career. The totals | were Lady Astor, 16,6256: W. West- wood, labor, 16,41¢; Agate, liberal, | 5,430. Other women gaining seats were Lady 1lveagh, South End-On-S8ea conservative; Miss Ellen Wilkinson, from Middlesbrough, east, labor who retained her and Mrs. Mary . |Hamilton of Blackburn, labor, who won from a conservative incumbent. The fifth woman to be elected to » scat in the commons was a laborite, | Susan lawrence, of Eastham, north, who retains her seat - against con- | scrvative and liberal masculine op- | ponents with a majority of 2,164. | Miss Megan Lloyd George, daugh- ter of the liberal leader and | former premier, was elected to the | House of Commons over conserva- tive and labor opponents. 8he suc- cceded a liberal incumbent. In Birmingham labor lost the one seat it had held but gained four others. Labor took the three 8al- fords and the four Bradfords, sweep- ing through the industrial sections of the midlands and the north, cap- turing seat after seat or reducing government majorities almost to the vanishing point. Liberals Show Poorly Most surprising of all to many were the camparatively few seats the liberals were able tq show for their intensive campaign. Although poll- ing a fair proportions of the popu- lar vote they only rarely converted it into seats. Among the party's prominents winning was 8ir Herbert Samuel, chief organizer, who wrest- c¢d a seat from the conservatives. It was impossible to tell how the | women, most of them newly enfran- | chised, voted except that they did not | offer unusual support to members of | their own sex. More than 5,000,000 were eligible to vote for the first| time, among thesc being the “flap- pers”’ between the ages of 21 and 25. Communists Fail Utterly | The communists fared badly. Their | principal candidate S8hapurji Saklat- | vala, fiery parsce from Bombay, lost | in North Battersea to the laborite | Sanders in a four-cornered fight. Oliver Baldwin, socialist son of Pre- mier Baldwin, was elected’ as labor member in Dudley, Worcester. He captured the seat by a plurality of more than 3,000 from his father's party, MacDonald Jubilant Ramsay MacDonald, labor leader. was jubilant this morning when seen | at the headquarters of his party. | “The results are magnificent,” he said. “The government has lost the | confidence of the country and labor has won it.” It was different, however, at both conservative and liberal party head- quarters. The customary spokesman declined to comment on the results of the polling thus far and the at- titude seemed to be in both places that the fight was neither won nor lost as yet and that further returns were necessary to enable the final outcome to be guaged. Arrests for this Month More Than Year Ago During the month ending today the police made 375 arrests, which was 134 more than the number recorded in May, 1928. There were 108 arrests for violations of the motor vehicle laws, of which 43 were for driving cars with defective brakes, 11 for reckless driving, 24 for speeding and 7 for driving while un- der the influence of iiquor. Other offenses for which arrests | were inade include the following: | city ordinances, 52; drunkenness, 51 breach of the peace and aseault, 1 theft, 21; drunkenness and breach of the peace, 15; breach of the peace, 22, vagrancy, 4. |charges in this London, May 31 M—There was a heated domestic scene in a polling booth at Southend because a hus- band demanded to see how his wife voted She refused to allow him, re. torting: My vote is confidential.’ The affair was finally smoothed over by the election officer. Vera Quarton, aged 30, who was partly paralyzed, was burned to death in her home in Leeds when fire destroyed the kitchen while her parents were out electioneering. ‘While motoring through Merthyr, Wales, Captain Glyn Edwards, liber- al agent, was hit in the face with a bag of stones apparently thrown by a local resident who shouted, “Here is my vote.” In Dartford division a man and his wife each voted in the rame booth, using four bailot papers. They voted first under their own residen- tlal qualifications and then as prox- ies for two nephews, one an army officer in India and the other an of- ficer in the air force at Iraq. The nephews were both described as or- phans without ‘“'settled residence in England.” Aeroplanes were used to take vot- ers to the polls for the first time. 8ir William Cundiff, former Lord Mayor of Manchester, flew from Manchester municipal acrodrome to Blackpool where he voted and then returned with a woman from Black- pool who cast her vote in Manches- ter. Speaking at Mansfield last night, A. J. Cook, secretary of the miners’ federation, said, “If the labor party can not get nationalization through parliament we shall create three hundred new peers and I shall be Viscount Cook."” TRAFFIC MEN WILL TALK ABOUT RATES, Express and Freight Costs on Monday’s Discussion Docket A.
