Daughter Of
 Slain Man Is
 To Be Called

Los Angeles District Attorney Woo1wine announced just before the opening ftoday's session of the trial of Mrs. Louise Peete, charged with the murder of Jacob c. Denton. his intention to use as witnesses dur1ng the day those who were familiar with Dentons life and appearance and who had identified the body found in a secret basement crypt in his pala;tial home here last September as that of the rich mining man.
 Among those who will likely be calle dtoday is Miss Frances Denton, young daughter of the slain man. She has been in the court room the last few days. While she has fol- lowed with deep interest the pro- ceedings of the trial, particularly the efforts of the prosecution to fasten the crime on Mrs. Peete, she has also paid considerable attention to the de- fendant

EUGENE O'BRIEN
 E AT POLI'S
T a Memher of the Tines Stan

en Al Jackson writes a photo plaJOreview for Screen and Stage he tells about the people, fixes attention upon the incongruities of the play and gives the pictured drama its sta- tcs :as an amusement feature, which is as it should be, since the primary object in seeing a play is to be anus ed, srather than instructed. But this feyfewer is one who is a movie fan forAsinstruction more than for amuse-
 nle1it, and to him the moral and the klesson of the play is most important. | Comes the versatile and pleasing I Eugene O'Brien, ''In Broadway at HoRe,'' which contains one of the
 1ndk realistic stories Of wind and 1 rain, accompanied by high tides and beating waves to point one of the |most ancient dramatic c1iInaNes that
 the wages of sin is death.''
 A country boy goes to the city,
 meets 8 pretty woman and nlarfies her. He is young, enthusiastic, in inexperienced and he doesn't care about liner past. When her past becomes known to him, ne does care, and runs away, as others have done be Hamon of the West, kills the aged person who has spoiled her life and conveniently dies in time to spare Shersef a trial for murder. As for the hero, he, presumably, marries the other girl. This too. is much like life, since it is the fate of many women to put up with male persons who have become more Or less dam ,aged in the wear of f1re.
 This play is irnpeccable, despite its topic. The element of evil is so presented as to make the evil re- pulsive. Tn epicture does not rank high as drama But it is interest ling.
 The vaudeville is marked by +tBub- bles,'' a play of gowns and chorus, pretty and well done. Thes how is good, or passafb1e. with the excep- tion of a sort of imitation Fatty Arbuckle. who tries to get away with some of the most stupfdly vulgar jokes that have hit Connecticut this season. This team belongs on some other circuit
