CULLEN KENNEDY FRIDAY, JANUARY 8, 1932 in the nignt clubs, while not a howling success, nas a straightforward manner and a true-to-life way of saying things that make him seem real, rather than just another actor. It is in just this point that Anita Page and Marian Marsh fail so miserably. Both read their lines just as if they we're reading lines, rather than as though they had something to say. We recollect that about four years ago when "Broadway- Melody' hit the screen -as the first all- talking musical comedy, Miss Page suddenly sk'y- rocketed to a high position much like that now occu- pied by Marian Marsh. Today she is almost forgot- ten. People get tired of such large doses of sweet-] ness, if, indeed, it can be said that they ever had a taste for the ga-ga school of screen love. We notice, incidentally, that Greta Garbo and Joan Crawfort are both doing very nicely. Maybe that's because they're bothi over eighteen. K. S. A \Aash ingon Bystander By Kirk Simpson WASHINGTON, Jan. "7.-It must have been with mixed feelings that "those war-worn democratic veter- ans, Jamea 'M. Cox of Ohio, John W. Davis of West Virginia and Al Smith of NewYork, accepted invi- tations to come down to the Jack- son Day dinner and touch off the opening oratorical guns of the 1932 campaign. As standard bearers of their party respectively in 1920, 1924 and 1928,1 they were the logical keynoters to sound off for 1932. Two of the three, Cox and Smith, paticularly Smith, are figures in the preliminaries of the 1932 race for the democratic nomination. Davis, despite the fact that he led the forlornest hope of the lot in 1924, has not even been speculated about as a 1932 possibility. Long 'Awaited Chance. But the thing that stands out this year as not at any time since the first Wilson nomination in 1912, is that the democrats believe that a real chance of sweeping their man into the White House is at hand. Al Smith may have had moments of supreme confidence in the cam- paign of 1928; but" the other two defeated but not dishonored stal- warts probably suffered no great surprise when d e f e a t overtook them. They must have seen it coming. Certainly John Davis did. If ever a democrat was drafted as a sacri- fice to the necessity of keeping the' party organization going, however hopeless the outlook, he was. With the roaring and discordant echoes of that prolonged deadlock of the 1924.convention in old Madi- son Square Garden still rumbling, he could hardly have had a mo- ment in the campaign when he ac- tually expected to enter the White House.. When the trio #ather at the Jack- son Day festive board this year, however, they must be less than human not to reflect how different. might have en their political destiny had the call for standard bearer service been deferred to 1932. Invigorating. The very atmosphere of that din- ing room will be surcharged with a wholly cIiferent excitement from anything any one of them could have known as party nominee. For the first time in all those in- tervening years democrats are in the saddle in at least one branch of the government, the house. And all the maneuver/ng to push intra- party conflicts out of sight is an- other tangible evidence of how democrats 'feel about their 1932 chances. Cox, Davis and Smith-any of the trio may, of course, be recalled ,as 1932 leader. Yet each must know that his chances would be brighter had he not served before. That sounds ironic, but it is true. il i Big CORBETT 'S SATVRDAY SPEC Bacon in Chunk......... (Lean, Mild Cured) Smoked Hams, lb............ (Mild Cure-Whel' or Half) Pork Sausage, 23lbs. for.....
