Madrid, To-day, '
The Left-wing parties scored a remarkable success in the elec. tions to the Spanish Cortes on Sunday, according to the reports received early resterday morning. The Left-wing parties, it is esti- mated, will enter the new Parlia- ment with about 200 Deputies, and will thus be only slightly outnum- bered by the combined Centre and Right-wing Parties.
The Left-wing parties scored their biggest victory in Catalonia, where, in Barcelona alone 100,000) votes more were cast for the Left
than for the Birit or Centre. The
Lola Lane and Edward Everett Horton are in the Universal Pre- duction, "His Night Out," which will be screened at the Alhambra Theatre next Tuesday.
