 Whist Expert
By Associated Press

Buffalo, N. Y, April 1.-Two hours of questioning tonight by New York news paper men who had worked on the El- well murder story and knew every detail of the case failed to shake the story oi Roy Harris, who last night confessed to the local police that he and com panion murdered Joseph B. Elwell in New York last June.
 Except for some minor details, Harris in response to questioning, described per fectly the arrangement of the rooms Ill Elwell's home.

Then, he said Duncan tlreu the shot which Killed Blwell
 Under questioning tonight, Harris saio that he had seen published in eonnec; tion with the Elwell case a, picture of a woman who, he thought, was the Mrs, Fairchild mentioned in his story. All efforts to get from him the name of tnis woman failed, however. He said that ne would not divulge it unless he was apso- lutely certain that the woman or the picture was the woman who, as he said had hired him and Duncan to murder Elwell.
 District Attorney Moore said that Har- riS told -remaTkaDly we'll SoiiiiOS eSN story of the murder. Before question ing the man. the district attorney hao him examined by an alienist, who pro nounced Harris mentally normal.
 When shown dispatches from Bridse- port, Conn, saying that William Dun kin" had been in a reformatory since 1gl9 Harris said: T don't know any thing about that I haven't been III Bridgeport since I was boy The man who was with me was named William Duncan As given by Harris, Duncan's descrip- ton was.

Charlie Chaplin's first Venture Into the field of feature comedies, The Kid, will open at the Trianon theatre for weeks showing next Monday. Because the story has a strong tvein of pathos throughout, the unusual scomedy talent which has made Chapiinl the most ia nous funny man In the world stands out stronger and more joyous than in any previous production in which he has ap- peared.
 The Kid" is realizatios of an ambi- tion which the comedian has held for years. He conceived the sstery when he was first starting on his Nsereen career but could think of 1t only Aaas something he would like. Then he made his con tract with Associated Finst National Pictures, Inc, under the policy of that distributing organization of permitting uncontrolled production on : the part of stars and producers. .%s
 Chaplin whipped his idyll into shape and started work upon the production of the story. It took him a yeak to com plete. There are but five characters Of importance in 1t and are characterized as The Man, The Woman, The Kid, The Tramp and the Policeman. 1she com edan himself plays the party of the Tramp, while real find as Juvenile

>DORALDINA, FAMOUSe DANGER,
 STARS IN ALCAZARA PICTURE

The Woman Untamed," in which Doraldina is starring at the Nlcazar, is replete with original South Sea Island dances which this tempestuous artist has included in this feature. The story was written by herself and pictures the ad' ventures of a white girl wrecked on a cannibal island and worshiped asn their goddess.

Good picturesque photography of the South Sea5Islands and the excellent acting of Doraldina, who invests her role with all the Spanish fire of her dance performances, area aall com bined in the production.
