■ AT The THEATRES RITZ Theatre Sunday and Monday July 2,3 Barbara Stanwyck in “LADIES THEY TALK ABOUT” also George O’Brien in “ROBBERS’ ROOST” Comedy Serial Episode No. 9 “The Devil Horse” Orpheum Theatre “I COVER THE WATER FRONT” “I Cover The Waterfront,” the sea. son's sensational picture from the best seller of the same title by Max Miller, will bring Claudette Cobert, Ben Lyon and the late Ernest Torrence to the Greater Orpheum for the week start ing Saturday. “It’s Great to be Alive” with Raoul Roulien, Gloria Stuart and Edna May Oliver and Herbert Mundin will be co. featured on the program. “I Cover The Waterfront" deals with a newspaper reporter who becomes in volved with a smuggler of Chinese in to this country and falls in love with his daughter and nearly loses his life when he is assigned by his paper to find out where the smuggler lands his .contraband cargo. As the book, the picture includes a fast moving plot and colorful back ground of the crossroads of life in a waterfront town. “It’s Great to be Alive” is in direct contrast. It is a gay and frothy humorous picture filled with dancing girls and catchy tunes. It deals with the cavortings of a dashing young man who chances to find himself the only member of the masculine gender left on an earth of attractive and ambit ious women. * KARL HINES IS SUSPENDED FOR YEAR BY UNION PRESIDENT Chicago, 111 (CNS)—Earl Hines, who took his orchestra to St. Louis, Mo., recently and played in Club Dan. •ville, a non-union place, has been sus pended for a year by National Presi dent, Weber of the Musicians Union.

Again a straightfaced member of Parliament arose in the British House of Commons with a query about Mkwawa, as members have risen before. Again the Govern, ment was asked whether Article 246 of the Versailles Treaty had been ful. filled. Article 246 binds Germany to “hand over to his Britannic Majesty’s gov ernment the skull of the Sultan Mkwawa, which was removed from the protectorate of German East Africa and taken to Germany.” This time it was Stanley Baldwin. England’s fore most statesman, who replied. Though Germany has hunted high and low for a decade, he said, “the whereabouts of that relic has not been traced.” The august House had had its per iodic joke. Mkwawa its members know, was a tribal chief who reveled in the title of Sultan when Tanganyika was German East Africa. It is now a Na ions mandate. Mkwawa loved a fight, and the na tives still him for it. A generation ago his faithful followers of the Dahehe tribe tackled the Kaiser' troops head ,on. Eventually, Mkwawa died. Suicide, some say. Others saw his head was severed from his body by German soldiers. Equally mysterous is the lo cation of his skull. One story says it was carried to the Fatherland by larking German officers. Another says it was sent thereby an expedition of German scientists. A third lets it rest in its original African grave. The loyal followers and their descendants, however, are anxious to retain the head of Mkwawa. “Maxie | ‘Miller Writes* (For the Literary Service Bureau) j The Triangle Again—Girl Loves married man who is separated from his wife—Mrs. Wife begs girl to drop the man and give wife chance to win him back—better do it Birdie—do what your name suggests — fly; and give yourself a chance to be fair. : (For advice, write to Maxie Miller, I care of Literary Service Bureau, 516 Minnesota Avenue, Kansas City, Kans.

A. Adams (For the Literary Service Bureau) Incessantly were taught the Roman youth, “Carthage must be destroyed, and this, forsooth, Because with Rome she arrogantly vies! Carthage must fall that Rome might higher rise.” This is the spirit of the world, today— The stronger still upon the weaker prey; This is the era of defiant might. Of selfishness, and shameless venal blight. ' * '( Carthage was ruined, but Rome per ished, too; Thus has it been and ever will be true Nations and men who would their strength employ Others to trample will themselves destroy. The safest course is this: Both take and give; While livirtg, others grant the right to live; For, thru the ages long it has been found They also fall who would cast others down. —___,_ J 30 NEW N.

Craige (Minton, Balch & Co., 2 W. 45th St. New York) * * * Printed on the jacket of “Black Bagad" is this statement: “The Arab ian Nights Adventures of a Marine Captain in Haiti”, and no more fitt ing description of the book’s con tents can be so briefly given. * * * White readers will really enjoy the book as it is filled with hair-raising exploits and adventures of a white American Marine in a land populated so the book infers, by descendants of savages, many of whom still carry on in the mysterious, tribal, super stitious, and savage manner. * * * Negro readers, especially those who are overly-sensitive in not see ing the “N” in Negro capitalized, or those who resent inferences that the black race, in general, is vastly in ferior; incapable of perpetuating their own self-government; with no or little regard to clean morals and high character, will not become so enthused in reading “Black Bagdad even though it is highly entertaining narrative. * * * • Some readers might even think that “Black Bagdad”-is an excellent bit of propaganda defense of the Amer ican Occupation in Haiti, and a super master defense of the superiority of the white American Marine. Withal, “Black Bagdad" adds to my know ledge of some Haitian conditions. —Clifford C. Mitchell. Shirts Finished 8c When Finished oat of Wet Wash—Thrifty—R. D. Linen Bdlee.
