MONTA BELL AT HIS BEST IN
PICTURE QUITE UNLIKE PAST
SUCCESS. .
| Monta Bell, who is responsible for
such cinematic gems as “Broadwv:ay
After Dark”’ “The Snob” “The
King on Main Street” and others,
has found a new field for his ¢*-
forts.
In “The Boy Friend,” Bel’s Melro
Goldwyn-Mayer production at the
Cirele Theatre Thursday, he has one
of the most charming satires in
years. While a great many people
will understand the picture and en
joy it only in the surface vein in
which it would appear, there is an
undercurrent of satire, carefully con
cealed. that will appeal to the dis
criminating. : |
“The Boy Friend” is a satire on
the etiquette book, disguised in this
case as “The Book of Charm,” and
it offers Bell dozens of opportuni-‘
ties for the digplay of his particular
hrand of humor. An excellent seript
was made for Bell by Alice D. G.
Miller from the play, “The Book of
Charm,” by John A. Kirkpatrick.

KELLOGG SAYS
SPEAKS OF PURPOSE OF GOV
ERNMENT TO AID GENEVA
CONFERENCE.
PLATTSBURG, N. Y., August 18
—~(#)~—The Washington government
“waiits results” in the chape of
rrogressive international agreements
to limit and ultimately reduce ar
maments, particularly naval armeo
ments,, Secretary Kellogg said here
today in an address chiefly devoted
to a review of Aerican policy in con
neetion with the Geneva premilinary
arms limitation conference.
He denies categorically that the
Washington administration contem
plates withdrawal from the Geneva
discussion, On the contrary, he said,
the government was working and
would continue to work for the
success of that effort to clear the
road for actual steps to cut down
military burdens.
The occasion of the address wae
the unveiling of a monument heore
to Commodore Thomas MacDonough
who lead American naval forces on
the great lakes to victory in revolu
tionary days. That battle, Mr. Kel--
logg said, “initiated the friendship
between the two great branches of
the Anglo-Saxon race which has en
dured over a hundred ycars.”
“It is inconceivable,” he said,
“that anything can bring these na--
tions again into the conlfict of
war.”
Mr. Kellogg’s review of American
policy at Geneva was presented after
a stay of several days at the summer
White House at Paul Smith’s iin con
ierence with President Coolidge on
forcign relations. He declared the
time to be opportunc to summarize
Iwhat the American delegation at
Geneva had been trying to acconi
plish. He began this summary by
saying that the United States had
“no selfish interests' to sorve” 'ay
Geneva.
“We have advocated the desirabili
ty of starting with regional agree
ents which would strike at the root
of the problem by removing from g
nation the fear of aggression from
its immediate neighbors,” he said in
discussing the Aerican view onland
armaments. “By progressing from
modest beginnings we are more like
ly to go forward than if all nations
wait until some wuniversally appli
cable scheme of arms reduction is
formulated.
“It seems almost an impossible
task to draw up any plan which
would be acceptable to all nations.
Nor is this esstial to progress.”
