Alice Brady in
Wonderful New


Alice Brady is unique among ac-
tresses appearing before the camera.
She is not only beautiful to look at
but she is an actress of consummate
skill rare combination. In Little
Italy" her latest Realart vehicle in
which she will be seen at the Colonial
theatre today she reaches the highest
points of her career.
Little Italy" is the very newest fea-
ture offered by Realart and the Colon
ial theatre has been able to secure it
even before it has been reviewed by
the trade magazines. Patrons of the
theatre will remember the remark
BILE work done by Miss Brady in The
Land Of Hope" in which she essayed
successfully the role of a Polish immi-
grant. Her reception in that picture
has been SO great that Little Italy"
was prepared for her and in it she
does work even better than in the
former production. 1t is story that
gets under the skin" as few stories
have been able to do. Not only be-
cause of its interest, but because of
the wonderful work of Miss Brady it
stands as one of the best of the sum-
mer's offerings.
Other good entertainment on to-
days program is provided by For
Sale" Century comedy; Save Your
Money" a Pathe comedy and the in
creasingly popular Pathe Review.

Pro and Con on Proposed
Pardon for DR.. Dudley

Careful analysis of public opinion
in Pressure Isle concerning the agi-
tation to obtain DR.. Dudley's release
from the State Penitentiary seems to
indicate that the feeling here is about
equally divided, for and against it.
Dr. Dudley was sentenced to
prison, for illegal practice after a
trial that attracted attention all
over the country. Having inflicted
serious injury upon his patient. a
young girl who had come to him
for help the doctor became fright
ened and spirited the girl away to
the home of woman friend. The
injured girl died there. In an at
tempt to hide the results of his
act, the doctor. aided by his friend,
removed the body to the woods
nearby and buried it under the roots
of a large tree. The body was dis
covered within a few days after a
systematic search on the part of the
Pressure Isle citizens, and the sensa
tional arrest and trial followed. DR..
Dudley received sentence of from
10 to Is years.
Those who are against his release
contend that the sentence should
stand as a warning to all doctors
similarly tempted.
Those who believe that he should
now be given his freedom point to
the doctors youth and impulsive
nature. They state that they be-
lieve he has been sufficiently pun
ished for an act that was by no
means intentional in so far as the
sad results We're concerned He
must needs seek other fields. with
the handicap of having this story
follow him throughout his life they
believe. Aroostook Daily News,
