JUDGE 'SREPORT
AWAITED IN
CRAIG CASE
District Attorney Haywood
Makes Recommendation
Understood Favorable.

The proposed pardon for Comp
troller Charles Craig of New York.
now facing sixty days in Jail for
contempt of court, was hung up
today while Attorney General
Daugherty awaited word from Fed
eral Judge Mayer, the jurist who
sentenced Craig.
Daugherty asked Mayer and Dis.
trict Attorney Hayward at New
York Wednesday to rush him their
recommendation as to whether
Craig should be pardoned. This
was in line with the set policy of
the department in securing opinions
from officials most directly con.
cerned before pardoning men con-
victed of crimes and misde.
meanors."
Hayward has responded. Daugher.
ty today refused to divulge the
District Attorneys recommendation,
but it is understood to be favorable
to Craig. Mayer, however, has not
complied with the Attorney Gen.
erals request, and it was said at
the Department OF Justice this
morning that it may be several
days before Mayors opinion is
forthcoming.
Following receipt of advices from
Mayer, the Attorney General will
render an opinion on the case to
President Coolidge, and executive
action thereafter depends upon
whether Craig himself desires a
pardon. Some of his friends are
urging him to go 10 jail to uphold

Proves That The Thriller Can Be Composed From Commonplace And Human Things
By WESTBRooK PEGLER Leased Wire 10 The AEe-HeraId)

 NEW YORK, Nov. 24-The theatre guild proved last year that the style of play known as the thriller needn't wear hairpants, smoke hop or send its principal character to the elec- 'tric chair.
 The guild last year fought a war off-stage and presented twenty min utes of gasping tension in the scene robots in terrified fancy, but at no but one of the last survivors of the human race. You saw millions of robits in terrified fancy, but at no time during the row were there more than eight or nine people on the stage.

The author certainly is not convetiona and, achieving its purpose, the play thrills.

COLLEEN MOORE
 IN FLAMING YOUTH
Declared Ideally Suited To Portray Role Of Young
 Girl Of Today

"The greatest role of my career!g
 This is Colleen Moores description of the role which she portrays in Flaming Youth" A First National picturization of Wagner Fabian's sensational novel of' contemporaryl Monday.
 In "Flaming Youth" Miss Moore portrays q modern "flapperill" hoy den, a young girl, reared in an at mosphere where reckless plesure seems to be the only considerations
 In the role of Patricia Fentriss, charming. naive and unsophisttcated young society girl, Miss Moore has part to which she is especially adapt ed. She handles the part most ef- fectively. Her interpretations of the different phases of this girls life are exceedingly well drawn-the comedy touches are not overdone and in the tense parts of the play she demonstrates an unusual ability in lNoves beyond doubt that this talented actress, heretofore famous for her comedy role, is as much at home in parts calling for strong emotional acting.
 The character of Patricia Fentriss is one of the outstanding character izations of contemporary fiction. " NdTnef r aDlan the dullloI VI tfao sensational novel, from which the picture is adapted, declared recently that the character is his interpreta- tion of the young girl of today--the girl who'll forever seeking pleasure meddling with fire; romantic, yet blind to the truer and finer mean ings of love
 Miss Moore is not in error in her declaration that her role in "Flam ing Youth" is an important one. It Is a characterization to which few ae- tresses of the screen are adaptable and First National executives believe that in her interpretation of the role she has more than proved that in choosing her they were picking the onc> star in filmdom best equipped in eS Y way to portray this important ana eolorful character.
 Milton Sills, one of the screens foremost leading men, plays opposite Miss Moore in this startling picture. Other film celebrities in the cast are Elliott Dexter, Myrtle Stedman, Syl- via Breamer, Betty Francisco, Phil lips Smalley, Walter McGraib Bert Lyons and others.
 Miss Moore's interpretation is de- clared one of the best in the history of the screen

 The Drinkwater play. Robert l., Lee" which found southern hospi-

In both cases there is cer- tain to be violent dissent from the historical plan and there will be peo- pie, claiming to known who will say the effigies do not resemble the originals in any respect.
 Perhaps these biographies will have to wait few centuries in order that their value as plays alone may be appreciated, unaffected by public sentiment When Sir John Martin Harvey appeared as "Oedipus Rex for instance. a few weeks ago, no modern Greek rose up to denounce him and say he didn't walk or talk 1 like Oedipus, because the Greeks of nowadays don't know the old king any better than anyone else. Looking on the lighter side of things one sees Delysia, the blonde Parisian, formerly known here in "Afghar," now flashing brilliant in a Shubert revue called Topics of 1923" magnificent entertainment in which the producers have gone in for less nakedness. more splendor and
 better comedy. Delysia appears to far better advantage in the Tropics" Ethan she did in her old show here. i in which she was a bit disappointing considering the reputation that pre- eeded her from Paris and London.
 In this blazing new spectacle of color and beauty she has moments of act ing and reveals some of the genius which made her name such a profit able one to put on the billboards on
 the other side.
 The production itself is astonish- l fngly original at a time when the
