Marx Brothers In Rollicking Circus Hit At Craterian A mirthquake such as only those Marx Brothers can bring about opened yesterday at the Craterian theater in "Marx Bros, at the Circus." From start to finish it proved one of the most successful comedies out of Hol lywood since the last Marxian epic. Having overrun many other fields for comedy concoction, the Merry Marxians now run amuck beneath the Big Top of a stream lined circus to bombard their audiences with their new gags and comedy sequences. Inter mingled with the Marxes and their streamlined circus are all the thrilling acts, acrobats, equestriennes, clowns and ani mals typical of the circus world. They share ths camera with scores of circus animals, a go rilla, a seal, an orang-utan, nn upside-down-girl, a midget vil lain, the world s strongest man and a symphony orchestra cast adrift on a raft. Portraying the oustanding roles are Kenny Baker, Florence Rice, Eve Ar den, Margaret Dumont and Nat Pendleton. The picture Is the story of Kenny Baker, circus owner, who escapes losing his circus through the cooperation of Groucho, Har po and Chico, which is accom plished through a chain of hilar ious episodes. Beautiful musi cal numbers. ' with Harpo and Chico contributing with harp and piano, are woven through the. comedy. SILL TO BUILD SERVIGESTATION Ted F.

New Watch Testing Machine Installed Brophy's Jewelers Another ancient skill is being pushed by the wayside, replaced by a machine. This time it is the skilled watchmaker who finds himself pitted against the perfection of a machine, accord ing to Leland Brophy who an nounced today that a new Watchmaster recorder has just been installed at Brophy's Jew elers. The new machine draws out a complete picture of what's wrong with a watch in 30 sec onds. "In the 30 seconds the watch is on the machine we find out what it formerly took days to determine," Mr. Brophy said. "A watch must be in perfect condition to get past the ma chine as it detects many faults that do not show up readily to the human eye and ear." The machine was discovered accidentally in the laboratories of the Bell Telephone company, where technicians were working on another problem. Krupp Floats Loan Berlin, Nov. 16.

German sea warfare is more active than communiques Indi cate, the olficial German news agency, DNB, asserted, discount ing British and French claims of success against Germany sub marines. By the Associated Press Quiet on Europe's battlefields is giving the world time to con sider what really lies behind the war which, aside from Ger many's conquest of Poland, has produced no major battles on either land or sea. Evidence grows that at least in Germany that the struggle Is considered one for world power between an expanding German reich which already has wiped out the independence of three nations at her borders Austria, Czccho-Slovakia and Poland and the old, established British empire. The Germans have pic tured France as the misled ally of Britain. Russia Enigma Soviet Russia provides an enigmatic element of overwhelm ing importance that both powers must consider, however. To Germany it is important that war be confined to only one front and that sources of raw materials be kept open. Fear of communist Russia in fluenced British foreign policy ever since the bolshevik revolu tion of 1917. Many observers believe that even now Britain would look with apprehension on too severe a defeat for her German enemy in fear that a twice-defeated na tion would be fertile ground for sovietization. The western front, as for days past, remained quiet today and warfare ebbed at sea. Weather Hampers War 111 of gout, Prime Minister Lnamoenaln sent a report on the war to the house of commons saying that bad weather had cur tailed land operations, but that British forces had improved their defense positions. The only report from France was a recapitulation of sea oper ations which .said 223,297 tons of merchandise consigned to Germany had been captured by the French navy up to Nov. 10.
