1 1 TIMES PHONE Sill Bebe Daniels, in 'Dixiana, 9 Feature on Astor Screen Gala Scenes of Carnival and Mardi Gras En tertain Audience "Dixiana." RKO's glorious dramatic spectacle starring Bebe Daniels, Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey, opened a week's run at the Astor, and the crowds who witnessed the early showings yesterday were carried away with the production. "Dixiana" is a typical production for the Hallowe'en season, with its carnival, spectacle and mardi gras, it is quite the most pretentious thing ever produced for the talking screen. During the run of "Dixiana," the entire theatre has been converted into a carnival palace. The ushers and personnel, attired in colorful costumes, while balloons, confetti, serpentine and atmospheric lighting effects adorn the big lobby and foyer. "Dixiana" is sure to play the biggest crowds of the month, and masquer aders are especially invited to don their carnival costumes and enjoy the treat.

During the week the final coupons will be distributed for the Brunswick Radio which is to be presented to some patron on Hallowe'en night. Bebe Daniels, whose magnificent and surprising talents as a soprano gratified in "Rio Rita," surpasses that AL SMITH GROUP STAGrSNEWPUY Orpheum Play Presents! Love Trouble of loung Millionaire Although Myron C. Fagan, Its author, may not have had such a thought in mind, there is a sober point behind his screamingly funny New York comedy hit, "Jimmie's Women," that is to be presented by the Al Smith Players at the Orpheum theatre beginning next' Monday and continuing Tuesday and Wednesday, with a Wednesday matinee. The thought referred to is as follows: "Keep your fingers out of other people's romances and let the course of love run true because you can't Change the course if that love is a genuine thing." "Jimmie's Women" Is a distinctly modern comedy. It takes you into the home of a wealthy young resident of exclusive Westchester resident, one James Turner.

Jimmie is credited with enjoying red fire, etc. Samuel Kane, one of the executors under the will left by Jimmie's father, decides that the time has come for Jimmie to settle down, forget the gaities of life and marry. He knows Jimmie will not inherit the coin left by his father unless he marries a girl who is satisfactory to Kane therefore Teddie Kane is selected as the victim. All might have gone well had Jimmie loved Teddie but he didn't. He had met and fallen in love with an actress named Florence Standish u.i.u,..

n.ane Knew aoouc Florence out ne man i Know sne jovea jimmie ana that Jimmie loved her. So he engaged her to come into his home and vamp off one Algernon Simpson, who had, as they say, "clicked" with Teddie Kane. And Florence appeared because she had a sense of humor and a husband. These complications plus the scintillating dialogue that Mr. Fagan has placed in the mouths of his characters, make an evening of laughter exceptional.

Haage, has a long musical history of illustrious achievement behind him. Kibalchich was born in Tchernigoff, southern Russia, in the center of a region rich in folk lore, folk songs and choral singing. He showed musical talent at an early age and when he was only 12 was called upon to lead a large local choir.

A special stand had to be built to accommodate the budding conduotor. Later, he studied in the class of Rimsky Korsakoff, one of Russia's greatest composers since Tschaikow sky. He perfected himself on the cello but choral conducting still occupied his mind. In 1908 he was in viced to lead the most famous of Russia's choral organizations, the Archangelsky choir of Petrograd. Sly years later, he made a two years' tour of Russia as conductor of the choir of the Petrograd Conservatory of Music and thus gained a national reputation, particularly Because 01 j.V.W.V.V.V.W.V.".SW.VV "October Picture Harvest Hit" 1 STRAND I A Warner Theatre NOTE: Monday Night.

Most Accomplished In 1912 Kibalchich accepted the position as choir conductor at the Russ an cathedral of Geneva, Switzerland, and soon thereafter he became choir conductor of the Russian cathedral in Paris.

It was at this period of his life that he organized his first Russian Symphonic Choir, so called because he built it on the fame lines as a symphony orchestra. He began to tour Europe and in a rhort time was recognized by the European press as one of the most accomplished choral conductors before the public. The choir which Mr. Kibalchich offered to a New York audience six seasons ago represented his supreme achievement in applying his principles of choral singing. According to one New York newspaper, "Mr.

Kibachkh uses his voices like so many wind instruments and the singing of his chorus resembles some sort of organ, whose widely varied qualities he attends to with an exquisite delicacy of registration." According to another paper, "The chorus not only sings but hums, and by means of fine graduations of tone and accent often suggest a string orchestra," Reservations for this and succeeding numbers of the course may be mad at Hangen's Music House, 47 s5.

Oct. 26 (JFi Ma chine guns have made their appearance in the streets of Fez again for the first time since the war against Abd el Krim, in 192B. No guns were fired but they were levelled at the "Young Moroccans," an organization which although officially dissolved by a French decree, has refused to stay dissolved. The "Young Moroccans" are unal teredly opposed to the Berbers of the Atlas enjoying a legal standing differing from that of citizens of other parts of Morocco. These young men, for the most part students of the Moslem university, demand that the Berbers be made amenable to the laws of the sultan.

Furthermore they are following with an interest disquieting for the French, the events in Egypt and India. The other morning Fez awoke to find that walls near the French military governor's house had been placarded with posters, reading: "we no longer want to discuss with France. We demand the right to dispose of ourselves."

Oct. 26 () The Rev. Peter Ruder, a Congregational pastor who believes tractors and automobiles "haw ruined the fanner," expounds the Gospel on Sunday and on other days takes a turn at the plow or helps parishioners with economic problems. In 23 years' ministry among farm folk of Colorado and tne Dakctas Rev. Ruder has come to grips with some of the fundamental causes of agricultural ills.

Self sufficiency is his formula for farm relief. He urges rnsmbers of Ills flock to reduce wheat production and practice a more diversified agriculture, to elimjiate loans a3 fast as possible, stop buying the unnecessary which he describes particularly as the latest model automobile and farm machineryand return to horce power. "The tractor has rjsultsi in too much wheat," he says, "and the automobile coasumes a product the farmer does not produce. "The farm is not a place to get rich quickly. It is a good place to incite a good living in a quiet way.

"The farmer can be independent only so long as he keeps out of debt, buys what he needs and pays for it as he buys it. Ha must rot spend money until he has it. Liberal credit has ruined many a farmer." The 50 year old farmer, a graduate of the Chicago Theological seminary, plans group meetings this winter for discussion of farm problems.
