Jersey Defiance
Siincaas Deadlock
OF Tunnel Boards
Adams Issues a Statement
Blaming New York Com
nt.ss:oncrs for Delay and
Charge, Non-Co-opcration

The deadlock between the New York
and New Jersey vchicular tunnel com
missions vas frightened yesterday when
I. AibcGs Adams. chairman of the New
Jersey commission. in a letter to the
members of the New Jersey LcCisla-
turo blamed the New York body for
alleged non-co-o operation with the New
Jersey commission.
"Thc New York commission" says
MIR. Adams in his letter, has refused
to award the contract, except with a
proviso subject to the passage of Ger
tain ordinances by the city of Jersey
City, and also subject to appropria-
tons to be made by the State Of New
York of $5,5O0,0 900.
"Thc City Commissioners of Jersey
City refuse absolutely TO pass those
ordinances. which give to the COM
mission for the benefit of the Erie
Railroad SIX and one-half blocks OF
street beds, changes of street grades
and Of sewers in several streets and
permission to the railroad to bridge
over several streets. all of which are
involved in contract arrangements with
the railroad. 1t is stated that Jersey
City, in her own defense, should defer
action on those ordinances until they
know the outcome of the tunnel ripper
Til now in the Assembly,
The ripper bill" referred to by Mr..
Adams is The measure now before the
Leg stature for The appointment of five
new commissioners by the Legislature.
The names of the commissioners aye
given in the bill. and the names OF
Mr.. Adams and John F. Boyle, treas
urer of the Hague Democratic organi-
zation in Jersey City, the two Demo-
cratic members of the commission, are
omitted. Many of the members of the
New Jersey Legislature favor throw
irg Mr.. Adams out of the board on
the theory that he is the main OBJ
structionist, and retaining Mr.. Boyle
in the interest OF teamwork. At first
Mr. Boyle was willing to stand for
this. it was said last night but later
the Hague administration men demand
cd that he "stay in the boat with
Adams and 60 down with him if ncccs-
sary.
The New York memb bcrs Of the COM
mission yesterday said the proposed
awarding of the contracts to Booth G.
Finn with the provisos that Jersey
City clear up titles by the passage of
ordinances and that the money be ap-
propriated by the New York Lcgisla-
ture before the work began were
solely III the interest of sound ad-

There was no celebration in Patsy

PLANTATION of what caused the Killing
carly Yesterday morning of Jerry tho
Wolf and the Wounding Of three others.
Two possible reasons for the sudden
oItburst OF punplay we're offered. Tho
fist was that a score against Jerry tho

was that hootlcgging dichcr had in

The police base their first theory
on The VOLTS alleged connection with
tn" aSing of Erncsto and Silvio Mel
chiorc, two brothers, who formerly
owned the cafe. The police believed
then-in July. 1921 that The Wolf was
in some way implicated. and they still
'chevc it.
The second theory is based on the
alleged discovory in the cafo yesterday

''Color Organ" Now
To Be Seen at
RivOli Theater

Music for the eyes, compositions il
abstract forms and light, as develope,
by Thomas Wilfred, young Dane. n,
his complicated "color organ" called
the Clavilux, will be introduced to mo.
ton picture audiences by Hugo Riesen.
ted al the Rivoli Theatcr beginning to.
day. The instrument has been used 70,
entertainment about month at the
Neighborhood Playhouse.
Mr.. Wilfred has devoted dis time
heretofore to original compositions te
the v'sualization of color-countcrpoint
but st the Rivoii there will be new
conbination-that of "color ORGAN"
and orchestra, the Clavilux playing O,
the Eivoli screen at the same time tha,
tho orchestra is playing the instru.
mental composition. This will brirc
together two forms OF elusive and nui,
expression.
The compositions selected by Mr.. RE
senfeld are by Claude Debussy, CARA
besque," "Dansc Sacree" and "Danse
Prosane," compositions which lend
themselves ideally to the fluid proiec.
tions Of the Clavilux.
The inventor contends that through
his invention he has added a third d.
mension to the screen-depth. Here
tofore it has been possible to show
only two imensions-height and
width. But through the use of light
filtered through prisms he has made it
possible to see one form through an
other, feat never accomplished by
other instruments based upon the pro-
lection Of light. One of the features
Of the instrument is that it does not
use artificial creations of color. such
as colored lantern slides or other
transparent or translucent subterfures.
but draws its colors direct from the
spectrum through the use of prisms
and special lenses.
The Console" or keyboard of the
instrument, is fitted with wheels in
stead Of keys, such as are used on tho
piano or organ. In this way the artist
can create hundred gradations of
light on ono key" alone. With thirty
different keys" each able to create
100 gradations, Wilfrcd has at his COM
mand 5000 color notes. to his scale
and millions of combinations. With
such a "scalc" the young inventor feels
that there is nothing which he cannot
create on the screen in color and form
he has evolved what he calls "dia-
ogues' between different forms, some
lines in mere black and white, at other
lines with colors.

How Music Box Baby
Grew Up, Dancing a Lot
And Singing a Little

Aleta, the diminutiye dancer o'
Irving Berlin's Music Box Revue" Is
truly the Music Box Baby. TO begir
with, she opens the performance IN
that capacity, and to 60 on with, she
is SO small that even any one Of the
eight little notes who play in the
Music Box could whirl her away if
they felt so disposed. 4
She is a French -Canadixn girl who
cherished, all through her childhood
the idea of becoming an actress when
she grew up. But, as she puts it with
a rueful smile, she "didn't grow up
far enough" SO, rather than be IN
front Of the footlights when she had
always wanted to be behind them, she
studied dancing.
She came, eventually, down to New
York, and went into the films as a
double for Marguerite Clark, to whom
she bears sufficient resemblance.
Miss Clark made a protegee Of the
girl and helped her to continue her
studies.
Aleta made her first Broadway ap-
pcarance with Raymond Hitchcock in
the second of his "Hitchy Koos," and
then she went into "a more prominent
part in the production of "Buzzin'
Around" with Will Morrissey. Has
sard Short was staging "The Rose
Girl" at the time, and he remembered
the tiny dancer in the Morrissey re-
vuc, and, after again seeing her work,
he engaged her for a part in "T'ho
Rose Girl"
When it came to putting on Irving
Berlins revue last autumn and q
piercing cry went up for little girl
who could dance a good deal and sing
a little and be appealing generally, he
dashed off in search Of Alcta, with tho
result that the Music Box Baby, who
shakes two twinkling slippers instead
of rattle, is that young lady herself.
