KING li A BPIT HNn wasningxon, juiy vr forthcoming week is regarded her as I holding out the possibility of clarifl cation of the atmosphere at the Ge neva arms parley. This view of the situation also was reflected in press dispatches from the Swiss city, where the general impression was represented as to the effect that the next few days would prove a turning point in the negotia tions. Apparently officials, although un willing to express themselves, hold the belief that such word as the Brit ish delegates carry back from their London conferences will do much to determine the future course of the tri-partite negotiations.

Sacco, however, maintained his fasting and VanzettI took only a cup of coffe for dinner at ioon. The men started their fasting on July 16 as a protest asainst what they considered excessive secrecy surrounding Governor Fuller's Investigation of the case. Governor Fuller has definitely announced that he will pay a second visit to State prison either tomorrow or Tuesday to interview the condemned men again. He talked to them on Friday, when he also questioned Celestino Mr- leiros, sentenced to die for another murder, who has asserted that a gang with which he has associated, committed the murders of which Sacco and Vanzett' were convicted. Committee I Silent.

No statement was issued by the Sac- co-Vanzetti Defense Committee regard-Ins; the decision of VanzettI to give up his hunger strike. It was admitted, however, that members of that com- mittee, defense counsel and friends of the two condemned men had een urging them to abandon their protest fast. VanzettI Jihs shown little effect of his long abstinence from food, those who have seen him reported, but Sacco aprflred to be in a highly nervous condition. During the days of their fast the men drank large quantities of water. The hunger strike was planned by VanzettI in Dedham jail before- he was moved to the State Prison July 1.

It became known. Sacco joined the fast without solicitation when he learned of Vanzetti's intention. Arguments Due Today. Tomorrow the Advisory Committee named by the Governor to conduct an independent investigation into the case will begin hearing argument of State and defense counsel. The committee is made up of President A.

Lawrence Lowell of Harvard, President SamueJ Stratton of Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Former Judge Robert Grant of the Probate Court. After the completion of the arguments the committee will report to the Governor. The men, originally sentenced to die In the electric chair during the wffek of July 10, were granted a respite ta August 10 to allow completion of the Governor' review of their case. Illness Goads Doctor to Death By BOYD MARTIN. ORENCE VI DOR, who like Alic Joyce reflects culture and refine ment on the screen, is the hero ine or "The world at Her teet, a carefully staged picture play which treats a well-known theme in a and almost farcical manner.

The film is the week's attraction at The Ma jestic. rvitaa Vlrtrtr nbsva th fa rT a young lawyer who Is heir to hla receives the wealth that is bestowed upon him he is willing to take a rest and enjoy that leisure his money will provide. The wife, who is his partner in their law office, accepts the offer of retainer to a large firm of lawyers who are tired at being beaten so often by her. She pines for a career, to have "the world at her feet," but she realizes before the end of the picture that there is something more con ducive of happiness. Arnold Kent is the husband and gives a very sympathetic perform ance.

"Back Stage" Interesting. "Back Stage," the film at The Strand this week, is a well staged amusing and always interesting story of a young girl who cannot decide be tween two careers. She has an op portunity to lose her honor and win a coveted position on the stage, or to become the wife of a young man who adores her. She tries one mode of line In the meantime the spectators are treated to intimate details in the lives of the four chorus girls and enjoy many revelations of "back stage" life not usually public property. There is a splendid cast and many pretty girls, including Barbara Bed ford, who is the heroine.

Babe Comes Back. Eabe Ruth's picture, "Babe Comes Home," which is the attraction at the Mary Anderson this week, is a much better picture thtM the one he made several years ago. His ability to "come back" in the movies may be for the reason that he now has skill ful direction. However, Babe demon strates an ability to adapt himself to the situations, both serious and comic, and he chews tobacco almost reverently. The picture is a romantic comedy and, of course, is about baseball.

It evidently is based upon the theme that chewing tobacco is a potent force in hitting home runs. Oland Turns Comedian Warner Oland, long identified with heavy" roles on the screen, turns successfully into a comedian at The Alamo, where he is to be shown thi? week in "What Happened to Father. Oland's role is that of an absent- minded professor who finds diversion in writing liDrettos under an as sumed name for revues. The story, written by no less an ex pert than Mary Roberts Rinehart. affords Oland an excellent oppor tunity to contrast parts between the absent minded, shabby professor and the tipsy author all dressed up.

The happy blend of comedy and melodrama in the picture makes it decided ly amusing. Hilarious Comedy, Johnnv Hines" latest picture "All Aboard which may be seen for the half week only at the Rialto. is a Uure.fr- success Fired frorn a shoe etore johnny becomes a guide for a tourist agency. tHe conducts his sweetheart's family ito a anj after a series of ex- citing adventures, which are scream- ingly funny, finally brings the party safely through. The picture is filled with, "gags" but is based upon a sound idea of a youth who keeps forgetting.

There is an excellent supporting cast. All in all. "All Aboard" is one of the funniest films of the first part of the week. Double Bill At Walnut. Joseph G.

ANOTHER attractive bill of vaudeville is presented at The Rialto, wnere, lor trie nrst part or tnis week, Marion Saki headlines the programme with the dapper dancers. Snow and Columbus, recently from two well known Miss Saki is a stylish young woman, with a di rect and prepossessing manner and she dances exquisitely.

Carleton Emmy has a pleasant sur prise in which he is assisted by his mad wags." The 'mad wags" are charming little which do not present the ordinary routine of the trained canine. The Bennett Twins, always delight ful, were an especial hit Sunday after noon. They appear juvenile enough to carry out the illusion of lisping dialogue and naive songs.

Frank Shields opens the bill with the sort of thing that took Will Rog ers from vaudeville to the Follies, then to the concert stage and politics.

Vitaphone programmes recently released. There are really three head-liners and it is hard to decide which is the better attraction of the three. Possibly, because Willie nd Eujrer Howard and the Four Aristocrats have appeared on former bills at The fetrand. Blossom Seely, "Queen of Syn copation," should have the post of honor and be given headline position. Alias seeley is an excellent Vita- phone attraction as sh screens well and her voice is reproduced accurately.

She has a series of new sonsrs and puts them over with her accustomed enthusiasm and animation. The Howard brothers, now in the "Scandals." are appearing in a new skit called "Pale," and they prove, as usual, popular.
