His latest comedy, "Easy Come, Easy Go," which will be the attraction at the Regent theatre Monday, is one of the laugh successes of the season. "We all want to be optimists but we're horn pessimists. We want to laugh but it isn't our first inclina- tion--at least with most of us. Glum Comedians "You'd laugh out loud if you could visit a set in a motion picture studio where a comedy company is work- ing.

In this situation the hero is mistaken for the man who is an automobile racing champion or who is supposed to be a champion boxer or an Alpine climber or an ex- pert horseman. He knows nothing of any of them so, when he attempts them, and wins the race, climbs the mountain or wins the fight, there are thrills and laughs." Dix's latest comedy makes use of the mistaken identity situation with a slightly different turn. The hero of the picture, taken from the well- known play by Owen Davis, is a young man who firmly believes that honesty is thé best policy. Through a series of turns, however, he unwit- tingly becomes the accomplice of a clever crook, is mistaken for a thief and has difficulty in assuring people of his innocence. "Comedies must be clean and wholesome," is a Dix rule and he in- sists on this standard being carefully observed throughout all his pictures. He says, "We may laugh at a joke of a comedy situation that is off- color but we don't mean it. The laugh is no more sincere than it is when the cause is the man glipping on a banana peel" INNS. POWER CASE Judicial Committee Hears Suit Against Inglewood ". . -- London, June 29.--Their lord- ships of the judicial committee of the privy council reserved juog- ment in. the case of the New Bruns- wick Power commission against the Inglewood' Pulp & Paper Co., of New Brunswick after argument had been conducted yesieramy, The case is a dispute over the amount of compensation the prov- ince, through the power commis- sion, should pay the company op account of lands appropriated for hydro development.

It:'was further submit- ted the lower court judge was in. error in interpreting the province's game laws and in not allowing the appellants' compensation for pro- perty on aecount of hunting privi- leges. ¥ For the power commission it was contended that the appeal court division had no good ground for. interfering with the arbitrator's decision, for the grbitrator had heard witnesses who had visited and examined the property in ques- tion. It was mot the practice of the appeal court to vary the arbi- trator's findings regarding the amount to be paid, it was contend- ed. The commission further argu- ed there was no evidence to sup- port the finding of the appeal divi- sion that fishing rights had a value of $6,000 or any value.

In an important statement on the foreign policy of the Republic, Chancellor Seipel said that Austria was cling- ing to the principle of abstainiuyg from all foreign entanglements, ai- though various offers to enter combinations had been received. The occasion of the Chancellor's declarations was an outcome of a conference at Bucharest, among the Foreign Ministers of the nations, comprising the Little Entente, 'at the conclusion of which the Juge- slavian Foreign Minister, Dr. Mar- inkovitch, said in interviews that thé Little Entente was against an Austrian fusion with Germany, and ought to regard Austria as belong- ing to the economic system of the Little Entente and endeavor to in- clude .that Republic in it. This statement of Dr. Marinko- viteh's led Otto Bauer, the leader of the Austrian Socialist Party, to ask Chancellor Seipel whether or not he possessed precise informa- tion and whether or not the Gov- ernment had been approached with suggestions fo rentering into closer relations with the Little Entente, Herr Bauer said th atDr. Marinko- vitch's remarks were disquieting because they conveyed an impres- sion that Czecho-Slovakia, Jugo- slavia and Rumania were trying to exploit Austria's economic difficul- ties, to impose on her obligatipns which might later prove a barrier RICHARD DIX Who is playing the leading role in "Easy Come Easy Go," at the Regent Theatre next week, See This American Boy Who Just Can't + Stay Out of Trouble Added Features COMEDY -- SCENIC and PATHE REVIEW tions in "The Shield of Hopmor." in the way to fusion with Ger many. Chancellor Seipel then said ft would be difficult for Augtria to consider Dr. Marinkovitch's evo- nomic offer, but added that it was his conviction that in the course of time Austria must widen the nar- row economic orbits to whith she is now confined, and preserve her freedom of movement to choose a solution when the time arrives. However, he sald he did mot be- lieve that 'the central' European question could be solved at all without Germany, which fills the greater part of Central Europe, be- ing a partner to the solution.
