AT THE STRAND Foatare —— “The Trial of Mary Dugan, Bay- ard Veiller's all-talking picturisa- tion of the stage success of the same name, will begin an engagement at the Strand theater, beginning Sun- day for four days. Bayard Veiller, author of the stage play, went to Hollywood under a s agreement with Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer to- direct the screen adaptation, Veiller, whose earlier plays include “Within the Law” and “The Thirteenth Chair,” recently sailed for England and plans to pro- duce his next piece abroad. “The Trial or Mary Dugan” ran for more. than a year on Broadway and is now being presented by eigh- teen road companies in this country and Europe. The picture has an all- star cast headed by Norma Shearer, Lewis Stone, who has the part of Edward West, the defense attorney; H. B. Warner, that of the prosecu- ting attorney, and Raymond Hack- ett, who played the role of Jimmy Dugan on the stage and has the same part in the photoplay. Others in the cast include Olive Tell, Lilyan Tashman, DeWitt Jennings, Mary Doran, Wiltrid North, and others. The new picture is M-G-M's sec- ond all-dialogue production, follow- ing the sensationally successful “Broadway Melody' 'in that classifi- cation. Miss Shearer was person- ally selected by Mr. Veiller for the title role, despite the fact that she was entirely without stage or “talkie” experience. Her voice is reported to be one of the hest yet encountered among screen players, in its recording quality. ‘There will be continuous shows daily. Other subjects will offer Vitaphone vaudeville acts and News Weekly. The regular vaudeville program will-be omitted the first half of the week and will be offered on Thurs- day, Friday and Saturday of each week. only. The admission prices will drop accordingly for the pre- sentation of the big talking pir- tures on Monday, Tuesday and Wed- nesday. GIBSON WILL ASSIST WITH DISARMAMENT Dawes to Receive Expert’s Aid ~No Quick Action Likely Washington, June 22 (®—For his future discussions of the naval re- ductten question in England, Am- bassador Dawes is to have the benc- fit of direct detailed information from Ambassador Gibson, who first set forth the American proposal that a nmew formula be worked out for evaluating the strength of sen powér as a basis for further disarm- ament negotiations. Ambassader Gibson, who is sta- tioned at Brussels and headed the American delegation at the Geneva meeting of the League of Nations preparatory disarmament commis- sion, has been authorized by Pres- ident Hoover to go to London next week to discuss the situation with Mr, Dawes. He will inform Mr. Dawes on the current status of the situation before the commission, and also will give him full, first hand details of the formula proposal and its origina. That information undobtedy wiil prove valuable to Mr. Dawes during the construction of the Angle-Amer- ican negotiations now under way, which will remain directly in his hands for several months at least. It Prime Minister MacDonald does carry out his plan to come to Wash- ington for personal discussion with President Hoover of the relations between the United States and Great Britain, he is.not likely to make the trip until he has completed the organization of his government and piloted his .new administration through itf"early weeks. Expect Delay Meanwhile, American officials are convinced that no naval disarma- ment conferente between the two nations is probable in the near fu- ture, even though Mr. MacDonald does come here in two or three months. They regard predicitions that such conference is in prospect as shooting beyond the mark, es- pecially in view of the president's position that agreement on a new formula for measuring naval strength Is necessary before such an undertaking could be approached with hope of success. The working out of that formula, now in the hands of naval experts of the vari- ous powers, will require somc months of study and negotiation. GAPITOL OFFERS ‘THE RAINBOW MAN Eddie Dowling Stars in Singing Talkie Eddie Dowling, “Broadway's Fa- vorite 8on,” who is credited by his friends with never having been as- sociated with a “flop” production on the stage, seems to have carried this personal tralition to the silver- sheet, for his first gll-talking ven- ture at the Capitol theater toda: where it will be opened for a five- day run, was received with more than ordinary enthusiasm. “The Rainbow Man,” his Initial attempt in the movies, is the kind of audible-screen material that the public likes. It has romance, pa- thos, comedy, action: and sparkling catchy melodies which are intelll- wently played and sung as part o! the plot. The plot has to do with a smi time minstrel man who meets a little girl in a southern town and falls in love with her. He loses his job through a misunderstanding. and goes to New York, penniless, to hunt for work. After many heart- breaks he finds a job, returns to the southern town with his minstrel troupe again, and one day sees the girl he had deserted in the audi- once. He stops in the middle of the song and pleads for the girl's love while the audience thinks it is part of the act. The ending is & haopy one. There will be continuous shows| daily.

ANDY' THOUGHT CONCERN LOAFING Noah Count Traly No Account in Camp (Contributed) Dear Mary Apn. * One warm afternoon last week me and my pal Neah Count was parked on the bank of a stream engaged in the sport of fishing (the only vocation in the world in Which a fella needs a license to loaf). While waiting for bites we gets that delightfully lazy féeling as theugh we didn't care whether night =chool kept or not with Neah ask- ing how would I like to go vaca- tioning with him again in the backwoods as we did last year, I tells him nothing doing as he spent his time proving he was no live wire by loafing away the hours. “You wasn't naturally lazy,” I tells him, was any work to be handed out 1n camp you liked to be missing é0's to give the other guy something to do. When an erfand was to bé run you proved so slow of movement a fella could do a week's work in the time it took you to hike a mile, Being too lazy to lift up your hoefs you often stumbled over your own shadow, not curing yourselt of the habit until you found it too much like work to pick yourself up after a fal Instead of being peeved Noah chuckles, “But I had nothing on you. Even your folks admit you was three years old before you started walking because you figured there was no use walking when you could get someone to carry or push you around. Even wh swering the dinner call you was so slow that by the time you arrived sup- per was being served. But slow as you were you always managed to finish supper before the next day arrived. Awakened each morning in time for breakfast but when you appeared fully dressed it was usual- ly five minutes too early for din- ner. “When you missed a meal you took #0 long at the other two it seemed like three. After meals you'd park your back against a tree and snore your way into pleasant dreams. Keeping in one position so long a spider could spin a web from your elbows to the knees and have plenty of time to embroider plain and fancy figures without worrying about baing disturbed. What you enjoyed most of waa sleeping, the longer you alept the more the enjoyment and—'hit. ting the hay was the least of my troubles’ I'interrupts dreamily, as & large fish which considered me a permanent meal ticket takes posses. sfon of rod, line and hook witheut a struggle, 4t wak getting up in the morning that bothered me.’ “No matter how many times op. erator called.” eéntinues the mone- logiat, “she was always out of the right number that would get you up. It sleep was energy you'd be a hu. man dynamo. You'd hit the hay clean shaven and when'you awoke your map was covered with a heavy beard. If Rip Van Winkle was alive today you'd be his only rival. You cven picked up a stray dog. “Well,” I murmured drowsily, “he was & devoted pup and followed me everywhere.” “Yeah,” draws Noah sarcastic, “but he finally dled from the lack of exercise.” In atonement for your ldes campmates pressnted you with a 15 pound turtle. You and the turtle was often seen on country roads. Whoever saw the turtle plod. ding along knew that you would be along directly. Some say the turtle followed in your footsteps but I claim that you followed in the turtle's” “Anyway,” 1 seliloquises, whatever that means, turning & grin Into & yawn showing enough wide open space to park a runabout, “I'll bet I'd be a success at demonstrating the world s casiest easy chalr.” ANDY DALE. DEATH BREAKS UP TOM SAWYER GANG Last of Mark Tnln'l Famous Characters Passes Away, Hannibal, Mo., June 33 UP—Tom Sawyer's band of adventurérs all have gone on to the great adveature.
