.surrounded Frank Morgan in his
latest screen role, that of the
amiable pet shop proprietor who
winds up a.s a public hero in
“The Ghost Comes Home.’’ hilari
ous comedy opening Thursday at
the Liberty Theatre.
Morgan, who abandoned the
fluttery type of comedy lon.g iden
tified with him in “The Shop A-
round the Corner.’’ again plays a
.straight, sympathetic, role, the
comedy lying in the things others
do to him. He's a henpecked hus
band, an amateur playboy when [
he gets to New York, is entrusted j
with a fortune, through it exposes
the town banker and other crooks
and, after devious and diverting
adventures, emerges as the town’s
most popular figure.
William Thiele, who recently
filmed “Bad Little .\ngel.’’ direct
ed the new picture, with Billie
Burke, Ann Rutherford, .John
Shelton, Reginald Owen, Donald
Meek, Nat Pendleton, Frank Al
bertson and other well-known
players in the cast.
Comical episodes include the
wide swath the innocent country
storekeeper cuts in a siwank
night club in New York when
Ann Morris and Suzanne Kaaren
corivinoe him champagne l.‘-r a new
form of sweet cider, with disas
trous results. A romantic love
story and poignant human inter
est episodes intcriard the struc
ture of comedy.
The high point of the story is
the “turning of the worm’’—
when he gets up on his "h,.vd
legs” and slaps back at fate and
those who have bulldozed him.
His b|rothers-in-law, who have
had a field day, take this as bit
ter medicine, but his wife is re
vealed as a spouse who has al
ways hoped he would prove his
manhood despite her browbeating
methods with him. The picture is
based on a play by George Kaiser.

of the Finley family in North

and a banquet was given in his
honor at Hotel Wllkee. Speaking
at the (banquet. Dr. Finley highly
praised this sectioii of North Car-
olitia.l ’’
New York.—Dr. John H. Fin
ley, 76, editor emwltns of the
New York 'Times, educator and di
rector of the hall of fame of
New York Uaiveralty,' died In
his sleep early Thursday at his
home In Oraimercy Park.
His health had deteriorated in
the past two years and recently
he underwent an operation for
hernia. He returned to his home
three weeks ago and apparently
recovered', for he ■visited his office
at The 'ITmes Wednesday and
seemed to be in high spirits.
Dr. Finley, born at Grand
Ridge, 111., was a former New
York state commissioner of edu
cation, and at one time was pres
ident of Knox College at Gales
burg. 111., and of the College of
the City of Neiw York.
He found a liking for newspa
per work when he was getting
type in a Galesburg newspaper
plant to earn money to help him
through Knox.
He entered Johns Hopkins in
1887 to study history, politics
and economics, and in 1891 was
elected president of Knox, serving
the college for seven years while
continuing his work as editor of
the “Charities Review.” a maga
zine he had founded for the State
Charities Aid Association in New
York.
In 1899 he was editor of Harp
er’s Weekly tor a short time, and
then he went to Princeton to
teach politics, remaining there
until his appointment in 1903 as
president of City College.
He resigned in 1913, when he
was unanimously elected by the
New York state board of regents
to the commisslonershlp ol edu
cation.
He lectured at the Sorbonne,
Paris, in 1910 and 1911, at the
University of North Carolina in
1922; at the University of Vir
ginia. 1924; the University ol Ed
inburgh, 1929; and the Pacific
School of Religion, 1931. v
He was in France in 1917 on
a special mission to the univer-
siiies and schools of that country
when the United States entered
the World War.
H'3 became 'head of the Red
Cross commission to Palestine
and the Near East, where he
worked in 1918 and 1919. His
love of walking carried him all
over the Holy Land on trails de
scribed in Biblical passages.
Thirteen foreign governments
honored him with decorations,
and numerous colleges awarded
him honorary degrees.
Dr. Finley’s death caused can
cellation of a dinner at which the
Ulster Irish Scclety was to have
presented him with its annual
medal "for notable service to the
nation.’’
Funeral services will be held
at 10:30 a. m. Saturday at the
