. As a : soda ' Jerker, Joe Is a

tive, he's Just too . good to be

picture, Joe Is , the "Maltre
D'Sauirt' (soda : dispenser, -to
you) at the Willow SpringsDrug
Store. A notorious gangster in
the person of Stanley Fields
alights from a bus one day and
asks Joe to drive him out to a
deserted inn. Joo Is Just about
to do so when G-ien grab
Fields.
The story of Fields attempt
to get to the old hotel breaks
In all "the newspapers of the na
tion, and soon gangsters hoping
to discover the loot they are pos
itive Fields hid in the inn, des
cend, on the small town from
every section of the- country. Joe,
thinking they're Just transients,
directs them to the hotel, which
has lately been taken over by
Betty Martin, a young girl, who
inherited the place, and her
aunt.
Well, a large order of des
perate gunmen, each Intent on
finding the same thing before
anyone else does. Is apt to. bring
some fireworks, not to mention
some Insanely comical situations.
Feeling responsible for the mess
In which girl hotel-owner finds
herself, Joo sets out to correct
matters. Of course, for a tirae
he only manages to tangle things
more horribly until, toward the
end of the picture he proves him
self quite a hero.

Prison Canning Work
. Gets Under Way f
r SALT LAKE CITY, March 19.
-(P)-Conrlctl at UUh state peni
tentiary npne of whom could be
classified as a. ."iJantr waist"
; are going domestic. :- .
They're "going to don, aprons,
get put paring knives - and labor
over steam tables. '. . . . .. ,
! . The penitentiary Is going into
: the canning bustaess.'.;' -. .
Warden Owen Nebeker said to
day that a cannery would be con
structed In the prison yard this
spring.' Fruit and. vegetables for
the canning win come from the
penitentiary gardens.-. '
r The" program has a double
barrelled objective, - according . to
I Nebeker:. It will provide employ
ment for restless felons and it will
stock the prison larder with food
lor' consumption during the win-t
ter months.. .
Most of the cannery will be
built from parts of the old prison
boiler factory. As materials al
ready on Taand will be used, cost
of ' the cannery - will be approxi
mately f 560, Nebeker estimates:
Twenty convicts, those most
i adept at pitting cherries, coring
out tomatoes - and unstringing
string : beans, will work la the
cannery. When the plant is going
full blast. 200 additional prison
ers will be gathering, and caring
for crops in the prison garden.
-"We hope to be able, to can
20,000 gallons of fruit and vege
tables A says Nebeker.-
Under state statute, ' articles
made In the prison cannot be sold
to the public. But Nebeker has a
plan if canning output exceeds
prison .appetites he s going to
try and drum up a little business
with other penitentiaries where
cons don't can.

NEW TORKThat busy lady, i
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, has now
entered the... lists as a dramatic
critic in tact, as a critic of
critics and with such sound and
sane remarks that numbers of
theater-goers have been moved
to applaud her. e ,
Mrs. Roosevelt's provocation
was the New York presentation
of "Save Me the Walt" and Its
reception by the gentlemen who
review; plays for the New York
papers. If not for the New York
public-
There were a number of rea-
sons wny sroaaway awaitea
"Save Me the Walts with keen
er - expectation than most plays
command. First, it was . the j
work of Katharine Dayton, whose
play last year, "First Lady,'
was remembered with joyous ap
preciation of wit - and satire,
most of it aimed directly at peo
ple in high places Second, an
other eminent , satirist, George
Kaufmann, was reported to have
given Miss Dayton advice and
suggestions, he was even said to
have l been her collaborator, I a
rumor 1 venemenuy aenieo vy
both. - Third, "Save Me the
Waltz Is a Mas Gordon pre
diction aad Mr. Gordon, whose
"The r Women", appears likely to.
ran on forever, had ,beon singu
larly absent from the- rrosdway
scene. Anythinr that nr. . Gor
don finally brought ti town. It
was felt, was bound to be wortn
while. .
Sees It Twice '
"Save Me the Walts" opened
In Washmcton. where It was
liked and where Mrs. Roosevelt
was among the emtnents wno
saw it. Not-onlj had Mrs. Roose
velt-only kind words lor me new
work by - the ! author of 'First
Lady but she went , out of. her
way to. attend "Save Me the
Waltz" a s e c o n d time at its
Broadway premiere. She v aad
a nrotejte ia the cast.. It. wss ex-
clained. but since the protege
appears -lor two minute? in one
scene' and speaks ve iibm ia
ehorus ; with t ' k r youa
ladies, one supposes that Mrs.
Roosevelt did not sit - through
three long acts ao she could dap
once. . "
. The New York critics' did not
like "Save Ms the Waltx.! D
parently - they expected ' Miss
Dayton to give then aaother sa
tire, and wero disappointed when
she didn't, ' although only the
week- before "they had : jumped
hard on Mr. S. N. Berhman . for
giving -them more of -what Mr.
Berhman had already given thera
It is difficult to please the boys
when they get this cantankerous.
Anyway, they didn't like "Save
ale the Waltz" and said so in
no uncertain terms the rext day.
It had ao :"sinifkance., t had
no "barbed humor." It -wasn't
"different," it was - old-fash-foned."
