THE Crucial Test, World film
feature, with Kitty Gordon in the
leading role, will be the attraction
at the Idle Hour theatre on Monday,
November 18th. This marks Miss
Gordon's third appearance on the
World program, and is by far the
greatest picture in which she has
yet appeared. Her part gives her the
opportunities to show that she is an
accomplished actress. and the man
ner III which she executes her diff
cult roles proves her to be well
versed in dramatic construction. Be-
sides he rsplendid work throughout
the five reels, she has occasion to
wear clothes such as she is noted
for. AS whole, her work in THE
Crucial Test" is an achievement of
which any star may well be proud.

Saturday on this charge.
Under the statutes, IL public Of
Tense is charged which Is not tryable
on indictment but on information only,
and If the presiding magistrate be-
lieves the guilt of the party under
the lesser offense, he may order the
papers withdrawn and the lesser
charge filed.
This was done in Reyes case.
Charles Ernandez, the prosecuting
witness in the case, seemed to have
a lapse of memory when brought into
court and was unable to tell who hit
him, so he told the judge. He told
the police that Reyes was his assall-
and, but evidently his memory went
back on him in court. Reyes and
Ernan6ez have been in Jail together
awaiting the hearing.
