Stray Stories. trip. Winfield the Fox organization told Jack Frapcls- to see that Farrell had a good time. He was to make a few personal appearances, see every show in New York, and then come back to Hollywood for a season of hard The star hasnt been getting good breaks in his film work lately. He made two pictures in which lie was 'if CHARLES FARRELL badly cast Fazil and Dance.

In the first he Arabian Prince with a harem and sheikish tendencies, and in the second he was no all-conquering Russian Noblemen with exceedingly sophisticated tastes. Now on the screen Farrell appears what he is In real life a regular Amer lean youth, handsome hut utterly unaware of it. His wholesome charm might make any mother proud of him. As a sheik and a Grand Duke he was, to be mild, not so good. Then came The River, in which he played an unsophisticated youth.

The picture made a great hit in the studio. It was to be sesit ouf as a road show at the right moment. And then came the talkies. Silent pictures were no longer wanted. The Fox officials had kept the film in storage too long.

That is why Boston has never seen Farrell in The River, which he believes is his best picture recently. But he hopes to make Liliom as his next photoplay, and if he does he thinks he can make a good job of this devil-may-care portrayal. One -of the proudest persons In the Farrell suite at the Copley-Plaza yesterday was Charlies father. Yet it was seven years ago that Mr Farrell set his foot down on Charlies going into pictures. Yearned to be Dentist He wanted the youth to take up a business career.

For a time Charlie had yearned to he a dentist, but Mr Farrell obtained a job for him as an office boy in a dentists office. That cured him of his desire for dentistry. Business is the thing, said Mr Farrell, who sent his son to Boston University for a business course. Whqn Charlie left college to go Into pictures Mr Farrell refused to give his son one cent to aid him to get to California. The boy joined a vaudeville troupe and barnstormed his way to Hollywood.

And the rest of his career is well known. Today there is no happier man on earth than Mr Farrell when he looks at his successful son. He Is glad that Charlie didnt take his advice. Farrell la to appear today at the Keith-Albee Theatre at 3 and again at 8 in connection with the showing of his picture, Lucky Star, in which Janet Gaynor plays opposite him. I did love Janet, declared Farrell as he packed his suit case preparatory to going down to Onset, but it wasnt the kind of love that ends in marriage.

It was the love of a brother for a sister, and when Janet, fell in love in a different way I was happy she was going to be married. 1 shall miss her, yes, because one cant take out a married woman the way one can a girl who hasnt any husband. But she has a husband of whom she can be proud. The Red was an PORT OF BOSTON.

Newport News: Penobscot Newport New. By MARJORY ADAMS Charles Farrell, the pride of Onset, made a brief visit yesterday In Boston before returning to his home town on the Cape. The film star stopped off at the Cop-ley-Paza Hotel, where' he greeted some of hfs old college classmates (Charlie went to Boston University between 1920 'and 1922), and he also appeared the Keith-Albee Theatre. Thousands of persons at ths theatre applauded and cheered when the han some, youthful and famous flint actor sang Vagabond Lover and played a cornet solo. There were only hundreds to greet him at the New Onset Theatre In Onset, which is owned by the actors father, but Charlies big kick canje from being back in his home- town, Mr Farrell cams to Boston yesterday to meet Charlie, but Mrs Farrell had to stay in Onset to look after the theatre.

She awaited his -coming home. There Is to be a luncheon for Charlie at the Coplev-Plaza Hotel at 1 oclock today, and 'one of the Farreljs will have to stay In Onset to manage the picture hquse. The other can attend the luncheon. Their son may be a famous person, but Mr and Mrs Farrell arent going to let that Interfere with the running of the New Onset. Charlie telephoned down to an Onset restaurant demanding that a steamed clams be ready for him just as soon as he had seen his mother The place wont be open when get down there, warned his fatheib Tell em Ill buy the Restaurant sad have some one to cook some steamed clams for me especially, laughed Farrell boyishly.

Fog, Charlie Farrell is still a nice kid, whom fame hasnt spoiled and who Is still a little thrilled over being as popular with his public as he is. Girls Meet Him The feminine admirers who gathered at the station to greet him yesterday were all nice appearing girls, and everyone of them was under 22. Charlie makes his big appeal to young girls. Of course there are those older women who would like to be a mother to this big, boyish film hero, but after all, Charlie has a real mother right in Onset, and It is hard to Imagine ones self taking the place of the competent Mrs Farrell. Charlies heart isnt broken over Janet Gaynors getting married.

That Is real news to the thousands of Farrells admirers who hava wondered what state of mind he would he in when he arrived back in Boston. For months there have been stories to the effect that Charlie and Janet would be married. They have danced together, lunched together, worked together and played together. One saw Janet at Charlie's and Aiarlie at Janets home. Lydell Peck has been In love with Janet for a long time, said Farrell.

Janet and I have talked It over together many times. She is a fortunate girl to get a man whose one aim in life is to make her happy. "Janetand I could never get married Were both too much alike. We each need some one to look after us. Lydell Peck Janet and I have gone on several parties together and the more I saw him look after Janets every wish, the more convinced I was that he was Just the man for her.

He doesnt have to work and look after a career the way I do. If he wdnts to spend the rest of his life seeing that Janet is protected and happy then he can do it. No, Im not engaged to Virginia Valli. I think more of her than any girl in the world. Virginia is really more my style than Janet, in that she looks after me all the time.

Im building a house and Virginia comes over and tells me what wallpaper I want, how I want my dining room built and what type of furniture would suit me best. But Im not going to marry anyone for two or three years at least. Wants Him to Marry Mrs Farrell was opposed to Cljarlles getting rrtarritd some time ago. Now she would llkfe to see him settle down with a wife. Shes afraid Im going to be a bachelor, laughed Farrell.

Charlie has just made a fine picture called Sunnyside Up, which is the reason why he is allowed this vacation ordered to convey to France' Col John Lawrence, Special Commissioner; Thomas Paine and Count DeNoailles, the brother-in-law of Lafayette, all of whom wore safejy landed in France by Barry. Lawrence was successful in securing from the King of France a gift of 6,000,000 livres, which was transported to America in safety and used by Gen Washington to pay the Colonial soldiers, to provide food and clothing and munitions, thereby restoring the morale of his forces and making pos sible the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown. Wounded In 'Battle Upon March 29, 1781, the Alliance sailed for America, the Journey requiring 69 days and during the voyage captured two British ships, the Atlanta and Trespassey, in one of the fiercest Naval battler of Americas yearly history, during which Barry was severely wounded. Sept 21, 1781, Barry, upon order of Gen Washingtorf, was placed in command of the entire Navy of the Colonies and so remained until the Independence of the United States was acknowledged. Oct 19, 1781, Barry was again entrusted with the safe delivery of the Marquis de Lafayette, upon a mission to France of vital Importance to the Colonial forces.

-1 During the period of the Revolutionary War, under Barrys leadership, 800 vessels were captured, of which more than 100 were ships of wtr, and the prizes secured by Barry upon one voyage alone, rold at a French port, returned a revenue to the Colonial forces of nearly $3,000,000. Capt Hyland, U. S. brought the greetings of Admiral Andrews and told how proud the American Navy had always been of Commander Jack Barry. Congressman Douglass spoke in glowing terms of the work of the American Navy in all the wars since the days of Commodore Barry.

It had been the bulwark of the Nation In every war and he for one would ndver consent to its reduction beyond a point where It would be equal to the strongest Nation, he declared. He said he did not like to criticize the President of the' United States but was obliged to criticize President Hoover because of the latters attitude toward the Navy. He predicted that Ramsay MacDonalds mission to this country would be a failure. Dr Gallagher read telegrams of regret from Senator David I. Walsh, from Congressman Tlnkhams secretary, from Michael Ryan of Philadelphia, and from Mayor Nichols.

He read a set of resolutions embodying the sentiment of ths 'meeting, which were unanimously adopted. He called for subscriptions for a memorial to -Commodore Barry to he erected in Boston some time In the future. His suggestion received with applause!

CHARLIE MURRAY AT THE KEITH-ALBEE Film Star Heads Vaudeville Bill This Week Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell In Sound Movie, Lucky Star Meeting and actor In the films. Its Interesting to se him In the actual fleshT and at the Keith-Albee Theatre this week the privilege Is accorded, as Charlie Murray, heading the vaudeville offerings of the weeks bill, appears in person.

Those who knew Murray before his pre-picture days his successes then Were with the Murray and Mack team find him little changed. He keeps young and up to date. He is witty, droll, an entertainer who quickly gets in touch With his audience. And it was a responsive audience, for his reception, opening his engagement here, was flattering in the extreme. In his act, his suggestion everybody happy in politics is an amusing solution for one of the big issues two Presidents serving alternately, Hoover, A1 Smith thus providing three dry and three wet days.

By way of encore, he surprises with some neat footwork and a iom' ersault exit pretty good, as he admits the approach of 60 years. Everybody in the movies, he confides, is talking, having for some years been denied that privilege. Twenty-five years married and still happY with his wife an unusual record, coming from Hollywood. The vaudeville entertainers also Include the Great Johnson, contortionist, who varies the usual twists of body and limbs with a sensational trapeze act; LeMarr and Boyce, two girls in a singing, chatting sketch; Fllcer and Douglas, with Boots McKenna, dance experts, providing a rhythm number that stands out especially, and Harvard, Mortimer and Kendrick in1 a bicycle polo stunt, with a girl refereeing a game between U. S.

and England. v. The film this week, produced In sound, is Lucky Star, co-teaturlng Charlie Farrell and Janet Gaynor. Here is a country lass, Mary Tucker, who comes to us first with soiled hands and mussy hair In the silver screen version, of course. But she has charm and she is good and she finds in Tim Osborn a man who measures up to the real size.

First she sees on top of a telegraph pole in fight with the Worthless character of the play. Later on Tim goes to war and returns a cripple. Acquaintance is renewed and love blossoms. Tim Instils the cleanliness idea in the process of sweethearting and Marys hair becomes wavy and attractive and her hands smooth and spotless. Her mother has no use for cripples -and attempts to force a marriage with iJlartin Wrenn, thwarted when Tim, with his crutches and grit, arrives In time to save her.

The scene as the cripple crawls through snpw and pushes on desperately provides a gripping climax. Through a miracle divine, he gains the use of his limbs, and soon there is a happy wedding. The finish, emotional in conception, is well acted by the principals aid the support throughout good. It scores, too, aa a talking movie. The cast Includes Gwinn Williams and Hedwiga Relcher.

Yesterday, Mr Farrell appeared in person and was introduced by Charlie Murray. He will also appear this afternoon, and also Tuesday afternoon, each day at 4 m.

-I- NATHAN--WALLACE Miss Ruth daughter of Mr and Mrs Frank Wallace of Brookline, became the bride of Joseph Barin Nathan, son of Mr and John Nathan of Brookline, yesterday noon aVa wedding in the ballroom at Long-wood Towers. Rabbi Abrams Miss Hefen Wallace was her sisters only attendant and Emanuel Nathan was hia brother's best man. A reception and wedding dinner followed the ceremony. MrA athan Is a graduate of the Vesper George School of Art and Mr Nathan waa graduated from In 1920. The couple reside at 03 Manchester road, Brdokllne, the present flag of the United States, and the first officer appointed In charge of dhe first vissel purchased for- war purposes in 1775.

Acting in this capacity, he was therefore Commander-in-Chief of the Naval forces during the Revolutionary War, and It was his very great privilege to capture not only the first, but the last British vessel of war during his service. He was born In County Wexford, Ire, in 1745, and due to the penal laws in force in those days his parents migrated to America, settling in Philadelphia. They represented that sturdy group of courageous Irish who, rather than accept service in the Army of the invader, had migrated to substantially every country in the world. The first authentic record of Barry discloses that in October, 1766, he was captain of a schooner trading between Philadelphia and the Barbadoes and that Dec 27, 1774, he was appointed captain of the ship Black Prince, owned by John Nixon, an Irishman who first read in public the Declaration independence. The Black Prince was off the Coast of England when the battle of Lexington occurred and Barry, upon his return to America in October of 1775, was selected by the Marine Committee, appointed by the Continental Congress, to be captain of the first ship purchased by the Revolutionary forces and named the Lexington, and upon the very day, Dec 7, 1775, that Barry was commissioned as captain by the Marine Committee and placed in charge of the Lexington, John Paul Jones received his commission as lieutenant of the Alfred.

First Prize the Edward As'' commander of the Lexington, Barry put to sea and returned to the port of Philadelphia, April 11, 1776, with his first prize, the English ship The Edward. Barrys commission required him to assist in taking, sinking and destroying the enemy, a most interesting commission when we consider and contrast the English fleet with the lew ships comprising the American Navy under Barry. One of tl most critical periods of the Revolutionary struggle was in the retreat of Washington from New York across New Jersey pursued by the British Army under the leadership of Cornwallis. Barry recognized the necessity for immediate action if the army under Washington was to avoid capture and utter destruction. He organized a company of volunteers and upon Christmas Eve, 1776, rendered valiant servicJn transposing the Continental Army5 across the Delaware River and later served with honor and distinction In the victories at Trenton and Princeton.

After the loss of his ship, the Ef-fington, which was destroyed at her moorings in the upper Delaware by the British, Barry with 27 men in open rowboats captured at anchor in the Delaware the British war ship the Alert of 10 guns, with four convoys, taking more than 150 prisoners. Spurned British Bribe Sir William Howe, commander-in-ehief of the English forces in America, recognizing the singular ability, daring and leadership of Barry, offered him 20,000 guineas and the command of a British frigate If he would desert the patriots cause, and Barrys reply upon that occasion should be blazoned today in every schoolhoqse in the land, namely, Not the value and command of the entire British Fleet could seduce me from the cause of my country. In recognition of exceptional service at this most critical time, Washington, from Valley Forge, wrote Barry, saying: "I congratulate you on the success which has crowned your gallantry and addreSs In the late attack upon the enemys ships. Although circumstances have prevented you from reaping the full benefit of your conquests, yet there is ample consolation in the degree of glory which you have acquired. You will plpase to acceptmy thanks for the good things which you were so polite as to send me, with my wish that a suitable recompense ipay always attend your bravery, Sailed From Boston Upon June, 1778, the British evacuated Philadelphia an4 the following September Barry was appointed by Congress to the command of the Raleigh, then lying in our own port of Boston.

Sailing from here he was attacked by superior forces and, after fighting to prevent capture, was forced to-beach his vessel on Seal Island. We find Barry again In our home port of Boston Harbor In 1780, commander of the frigate Alliance, the favored and best ship of the Navy at thia period. At this time the Alliance was The 126th anniversary of the death of Commodore John Barry, Father of the American Navy, was celebrated My more than 3000 persons at the Farkman Bandstand on the Common yesterday afternoon. It was a colorful and enthusiastic meeting, at which. American historians were severely censured by Ex-Mayor James Curley for the manner in Which they had either minimized, or Ignored altogether, the splendid record of Commodore Barry in the American Revolution.

Both President Hoover and Ramsay MacDonald came In for criticism at the hands of Congressman John J. Douglass of East Boston. In fact, he predicted that Ramsay MacDonalds coming visit to this country would prove qjs much of a boomerang to his political fortunes as did the visit of President Wilson to Versailles. There was some good music by the Charlestown Navy Yard Band and by the picturesque Kevin Barry Fipers Band. There was present a company of sailors from the Navy Yard and gToups of children, carrying good-sized American flags, from the Bunker Hill and Warren Schools of Charlestown.

There were present also representatives of the Bishop Cbeverus Assembly, Knights of Columbus; the Galway Mens Association, and Division 36. A. O. H. The speakers were Dr James T.

Gallagher, who was chairman of the meeting; Ex-Mayor Curley; Capt Hyland of the Navy Yard, representing Rear Admiral Philip Andrews, and Congressman Douglass. Lawrence Thornton sang The Star Spangled Banner. Mixup la Radio Plans Ex-Mayor Curleys speech was to have been radioed from 2 to 2:30 but those la charge of the bandstand ware evidently not aware of that fact, for there were no amplifiers in place and the radio room was locked up. It had to be broken into. The result was that Ex-Mayor Curleys speech did not get on the air until he had been speak.

inT some 15 minutes. explanation of the mixup Ex-Mayor Curley said he was loathe to believe politics had anything to do with It, but that it did look a little suspicious. In opening the meeting Dr James Gallagher said he was thankful to all present for coming to the first memorial meeting ever held In honor of a great revolutionary hero who had long been neglected Commodore John Barry, who was born in Wexford, Ire, 184 years ago, and who died 126 years He said it was a disgrace the way this bravo patriot had been ignored by historians and neglected by the public the Father of our Navy whose name is never mentioned in the public schools. I i Ex-Mayor Curley Address Ex-Mayor Curley got: a great reception. He said, in part: In arranging this meeting Dr James T.

Gallagher is making a worth-while contribution to both truth and Ameri-. can history. The most unfortunate aspect of American history as written and taught in our public schools Is the failure to accord at all times jus tice and praise when and where due. I take It that this meeting is called not for the purpose of dimming iff any measure the glory of American heroes whose valor and brain have made luminous the pages of American history, but, rather, for the purpose of according the measure, of, justice long denied to the outstanding Navy leader of the Revolutionary War, Commodore John Barry. I have a profound appreciation for the contribution made by John Paul Jones, a most romantic figure, and remarkable Naval hero.

His courage, as exemplified in the combat between his ship, the Bon Homme Richard, and the Serapls Is an epoch of American history that will live in the hearts of our citizenship so long as the Republic endures. Calls Barry the Great Hero The contribution of American captains in the Revolutionary Wftf, Samuel Nicholson, Silas Talbot, Joshua Barney, Richard Dale and Thomas Truxton are names to conjure with; but, after all has been said and the records have been fully investigated, the one truly great Navy hero was Commodore John 3arry. It seems unfortunate that more than a century and a half should be permitted to elapse before official recognition of his deeds and achievements in enduring bronze should find aiplace in the national Capitol. Commodore John Barry was the first Navy commander to saU under WASHINGTON. Sept 22 (A.
