Mr. Coolidge, in announcing his

place with a little land," although
"The Beeches" has nine acres, au
outdoor swimming pool, tennis courts
and abundant flower gardens. The
house contains four baths, an ele
vator and telephone connections or
each floor.
Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge purchased
"The Beeches," near Hampton ter
race from Mrs. Morris Comey, wid
ow of a West Boylston manufactur
er. Mr. Coolidge said that Mrs.
Comey will remain on the property
for another month or two. The house
was built by Dr. Henry N. MacCrac
kcn. president of Vassar college,
when he was professor of English at
Smith college lure.

ed, overlooking the Mount Tom

Walsh Shows
Talent as Author
Director "Hot for Paris," at Ritz Co-features
McLaglen, Fifi Dorsay, El Bren
del and Polly Moran.
Not alone the most successful di
rector of pictures in Hollywood, but
the most unorthodox in his methods
is Raoul Walsh, famed for his di
rection of two record breaking pic
tures, "What Price Glory?" and "The
Cock Eyed World," whose all talking
Fox Movietone production, "Hot For
Paris," comes to the Ritz theatre on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Walsh works without a script,
makes added scenes when the picture
is completed but never a retake, is
gracious in giving credit to others for
dialog and the like, but furnishes
most of it himself, never uses a mega
phone, and makes a life long friend
of every one who works with him in
any capacity.
"Hot For Paris," is based on a
story idea which came to him while
in a flying boat coming from Cata
lina Island to the mainland one day.
Arriving at his Malibu beach home
he wrote a synopsis of the story, made

a few changes and then threw it
away.
During the making of the picture,
each, day's- work was planned the
previous night.
The story deals with the first mate
of an Australian windjammer who
buys a ticket on "Dark Japan," a
rank outsider in the Grand Prix.
"Dark Japan" wins and this means a
million dollars to the holder of the
ticket. Then ensues a wild chase to
find "Duke," played by Victor Mc
Lauglen, the holder of the ticket and
his efforts to evade his pursuers as
he thinks they are trying to arrest
him.
The chase brings McLaglen and his
Swedish sailor pal. El Brendel, into
contact with Fifi Dorsay, a singer and
dancer in a French cafe. A romance
between McLaglen. and Fifi buds and
is carried on through the exciting
and hilarious events of the picture,
aided by Polly Moran.
There are many song interpolations
by Fifi Dorsay and McLaglen sings
a numbr, "I'm the Duke of Kakiyak."
The songs in the picture are composi
tions of the famous duo, Walter Don
aldson and Edgar Leslie.
The supporting cast includes such
well known and decidedly capable
players as Anita Murray, Lennox
Pawle, August Tollaire, George Faw
cett, Charles Judels, Eddie Dillon,
Rosita Marstini, Agostino Borgato,
and Yola D'Avrril.
Charles J. Van Enger, responsible
for the very fine photographic work
on "Fox Movietone Follies" and
"Married in Hollywood," has sur
passed his former efforts in this pro
duction, for which William K. Wells
wrote the dialog.

The city election Tuesday was one
of the quietest in years and the vote
was light in all of the wards, the sec
ond ward rolling up the largest of
any in the city, some 254 voters be
ing out. In the city at large the vote
was almost 1,000 below that of the
election of November, 192S, and was
exceptionally light in the fourth and
fifth wards.
While the campaign had been light
a last minute spurt for several of the
candidates added some interest and
stir to the campaign, but this was
largely confined to the first and third
wards.
The closest contests were staged in
the first ward where the margin of
victory was small for all of the can
didates and in the returns the re
sults were uncertain until the last.
A very large woman vote in this ward
was out and added to the uncer
tainty of determining the outcome.
In the second ward the democrats
held their stronghold with a wide
margin of victory and here a large
array of straight ballots added to
the strength of the city ticket all
down the line.
The election resulted in the dis
placement of many of the present
councilmen, Councilman Bestor in the
first and Tulene in the second being
the only members of the present
council to weather the storm. In the
first Carl Kunsman was defeated by
E. A. Webb by 11 votes while in the
third the voters were called upon to
decide on two candidates for the
seat of Councilman Highfield who
was retiring, Frank Libershal and
Miles Allen and the result was a vic
tory for Mr. Allen by a large major
ity. In the fourth ward Councilman
Hayes was displaced by former mayor
C. A. Johnson, and in the fifth ward
Councilmen Henry Lutz and C. L
Pittman were retired in favor of It. H.
Patton and Edward Gabelman.
The city ticket of the democrats
maintained a strong lead in all of the
wards save the first and had a good
margin of victory in the city at large.
The vote in the various wards was
as follows:

CHARGE PROPERTY DEFACED
Wahoo Fifteen local high school
students Tuesday were summoned to
appear in juvenile court to answer a
charge of malicious defacing of prop
erty in connection with a 'painting
orgy" last week, during which the
high school building and the home of
one of the woman teachers were
doubed with paint. The complaints
were signed by Superintendent Seidel
and Miss LaVerne Hanse, instructor
of English.
All the boys named are less than
eighteen years old. The group in
cludes many prominent in various
school activities.
Summonses have been served on
parents of the youths and they are to
appear in court Wednesday, it was
said.
Decision to file the complaints was
made at a meeting of the board 01
education and of county law enforce
ment officers Monday night.
This is the first year here for both
Superintendent Seidel and Miss
Hanse, whose home is at Lincoln. An
other teacher, whose automobile was
painted, declined to sign a complaint.
FREE STATE TO REFORM REGIME
Dublin, April 1. A reform of the
whole system of local government is
contemplated by the Free State.
The existing system is based on
British legislation, much of which
is 80 years old and entails admin
istration by numerous elected bodies.
The main principle of the govern
ment's policy is administration by
business managers, with small elect
ed advisory councils.
For several years the government
has met the situation by appointing
administrators instead of the coun
cils. Dublin is run by three city
commissioners while the corporation
has been suspended. Cork was simi
larly run by one man. Last year
the Cork corporation was restored,
but the city manager was retained.
The government has now intro
duced a bill for restoration of the
Dublin corporation.

Gulf on Security Issue Reported Nar
rowing by Premier MacDon
ald and M. Briand.
London, April 2. The Daily Her
ald, labor party organ, says this
morning that as a result of conversa
tions yesterday between foreign sec
retary Henderson of Great Britain
and Foreign Minister Briand of
France a formula has been found
that may give France the security
she has been demanding and enable
her to enter a five-power naval dis
armament treaty. '
A draft of the formula, according
to the Herald, was sent to Paris last
night for thorough consideration by
Premier Andre Tardieu and the
French cabinet.
The newspaper understands that
in view of these new circumstances
Italy has at last agreed to eliminate
the contentious word "parity" with
reference to her naval claims, which
has been a rigid barrier in Franco
Italian negotiations.
London, April 1. Japan has join
ed the American-British consortium
for naval disarmament, thereby as
suring the basic success of the Lon
don conference with, at least a three
power treaty.
A five-power agreement, including
France and Italy, still hangs in the
balance. Both Foreign Minister
Briand of France and Prime Minister
MacDonald of Great Britain said to
night that the gulf is narrowing rap-
dily on the security issue. But even
with the chasm bridged an old terror

able reply to participation in the five-
year limitation program proposed by
the United States and Great Britain
was received by-the Jaanese delega
tion early this afternoon. A formal
answer to Secretary Stimson and
Prime Minister MacDonald is expect
ed tomorrow morning.
Important reservations will be at
tached to the Japanese acceptance
but they affect the principles of na
tional naval ratios rather than the
limitation of five-year construction
programs, which, by the settlement
that can now be arrived at here.

section true to the winter form main
tained thruout. Zero weather mark

since could the imagination asso

the fact that cold winter weather

followed by an absence of heavy
