of the $3 a thousand feet import
tax on lumber tonight after re
taining the oil and coal tariff lev

cents a pound tax on copper will
be taken up after lumber.
Senator Jones (R., Wash.),
opened the drive for the lumber
duty, explaining lumber was the
major industry of jjieat sections of
Washington, Oregon and Idaho. Of
125,000 usually employed in the

appealing,” Jones continued.

Miriam Hopkins at McDonald
Jack Oakie and Miriam Hopkins
play the leading roles in “Dancers
in the Dark,” but just why it
should be called by that particular
name is somewhat of a puzzle.
There are all kinds of dancing, but
there is decidedly no dancing done
in the dark. Be this as it may,
the show still manages to haul
down several good laughs from
time to time and may be consid
ered as good and satisfactory.
“Dancers in the Dark” is a mot
ley collection of parts from a mu
sical comedy, a gangster thriller
and a behind-the-scenes tale of a
night club. All these elements are
artistically woven in to a story
that passes through the whole
gamut of human emotions to a
very satisfactory ending.
Oakie, as the jovial orchestra
leader, pulls some good stuff most
of the time, but his goofy smile
sort of ruins his best parts. Mir
iam Hopkins, who is the blonde
taxi-dancer with some mixed love,
plays her role with great capabil
ity, but one is always worried for
fear that Mr. Hyde (that monster
that toyed with her not long ago)
Dorothy Peterson and Jackie
Cooper, who are coming in “When
a Feller Needs a Friend,” which
is showing at the McDonald Sun
day for two days.
will come in and ask her for a
dance.
William Collier Jr. plays a semi
important part as one of the men
Miss Hopkins falls for. His good
looks carry him along but his act
ing is not extra. Eugene Pallette,
that voluminous play-boy of the
screen, plays in his usual line. This
time he has an adorable platinum
blonde after him, but he eludes
her successfully, much to his
credit.
Much of the success of this pic
ture is due to the direction which
saves the multiplicity of action
from hopelessly confusing the plot.
“Disorderly Conduct,” with Sally
Fillers and Spencer Tracy, comes
today only at the McDonald. This
picture teems with action and ex
citement, dealing with the adven
tures and romance in a police
mail’s life.
Jackie Cooper, that lovable little
star of the screen, is appearing
with Charles “Chick” Sale in
“When a Feller Needs a Friend,”
at the McDonald Sunday for two
days.

Fairbanks at Colonial
Douglas Fairbanks has laid aside
his athletic roles w'here he clowns
around in historic costumes and
appears tricked out in a white
shirt and collar in “Reaching for
the Moon,” which is showing at
the Colonial for the last time to
day.
Bebe Daniels, Jack Mulhall and
Edward Everett Horton are the
supporting members of the cast
which makes this a fast moving,
dynamic action film with lots of
comedy a la Horton style.
“City Lights,” starring Charlie
Chaplin, is coming Sunday for two
days.
Bob Steele at State
“Law of the West,” starring Bob
Steele, is showing at the State for
the last time today. “Law of the
West” is playing first run in Eu

Joyce Compton and Beryle Mer
