THE sKYRoCKET"-LYCEUM

The Lyceum today is presenting one of the most notable movies of the season since it introduces one of the country's most talked about young women in her first film pro- duction-Peggy Hopkins Joyce in "The Skyrocket." IL is itself a story of Hollywood and the movie colony and tells Of the rise to fame of a movie actress, her :riumphs and her crash back to earth. It has some wonderfully lavish schemes, beauti- fully gowned women and a love theme that keeps up interest.
 The companion picture is Hoot Gibson in The Phantom Bullet" This brings Gibson into relief as an actor of a newer type than the ordin- ary cowboy he usually portravs. He has the part of a young rancher whose father is slain. To find his murderer, he adopts the disguise of q tenderfoot, consorts with the vil- lains and succeeds in fooling them, but at the same time incurs the dis gust of his sweetheart who does not understand his reasons and takes him for what he appears to be. The usual gunplay is switched in this picture so that it is camera instead of a siX-shooter that brings about he final dcnouemcnt.

"BROWN OF HARVARD"

Brown of Harvard which open ed at the New Palace yesterday set a new high standard for motion pictures. Life on the campus ol one of America's greatest institu- lions of learning has been immor- talizcd by this picture. The picture directed by Jack Conway was adapt ed from the famous stage success of the same name by Rida Johnson Young. Brown of Harvard" is by far the best college story that has vet reached the screen. It possesses the sincerity and lack of the uSua mock heroics that have been notably missing in other stories Of youth. The boys in the story are human beings having as much fun as per mitted. They never appear autonl- atoms in the hands of the direc- tor.
 The vaudeville bill consisting Of five select acts is one of the finest that has been seen here for a long time. Ford and Price opening the bill with clever piece of work on the silver thread, followed by Frank McConville in a single bit of comedy keeps the audience in good hnmor all the way through. Then Rose Marie and Marjory in a songfost with their richness of tones leave only a desire for more, Hart Wag- ncr and I.eta bring us hack 10 laughland and their are loads of laughs there. The Seven Rainbow Girls are snappy poppy and color ful and give very delightful per formance in their latest dance re- view.

New York'S Play Jury Verdict
 P00Y0S Producer Wallace

New York. June lPl-Ramsay Wallace, producer of The Bunk O. 1S26' was in arms today against the closing of his show by a play jury Of citizens selected by the dis trict attorneys office. II was the first such verdict since the play jury system was evolved five years ago.
 Three other play jurics visited three other shows, and a three min- ute skit was ordered eliminated from The Great Temptations" produced by the shuberts, who said the eXpurgation was effected last night. Sex" and The Shanghai Gesture" were found inoffcnsive.
 Jurics have been assigned 10 visit three or four other plays, District Attorney Joah H. Banton said last night, but he declined to name the shows.
 The Broadhurst theater was re- ported sold out last night but The Bunk Of 1926" was not shown and money was refunded to all callers at the box office. The producers, Ramsy Wallace and Frank Martins. told the cast the show would open tonight. and that it was closed last night only because the verdict had been received too late to fight back.
 Mir. Wallace said he would ask an injunction today against enforce ment of the order, and if that failed costumes would be modified 10 meet the approval Of the play jury. Mir. Martins admitted that the show featured nudity hut claimed that the young women Of the cast displayed themselves in such a manner that it could only he called art.

FRENCH ECONOMY
 STARTS IN FULL
Fight to Save Franc Is Carried
 to All Glasses

Paris June s Pl-The period Of 'sackcloth and ashes" predicted some time ago by Joseph Caillaux. former minister or finance, is upon France, and the public accepts ii with resignation but reluctance. It is part Of the battle 10 save the franc and it anticipates restrictions in the consumption of bread, meat and other necessities.
 A committee of four-Ninister Of Public Works De Monze. Minister of Commerce Daniel Vincent. Min ls'cr of Agriculture Binet and Min ister or the Interior which will manage the regime Of restIW- lions, started it's work today. The ministers will tread Warily. for they know that increased tariff barriers will provoke reprisals abroad to the detrimcnt of Frances export trade and that restrictions carried too far will have a bad effect on home in dustries and frighten away tourists.
 Rakeshops, it is expected, will be closed one day each week. Fancy bread and rolls will be prohibited and flour for cakes and pastry severely rationed. Butcher shops will close once, and perhaps twice, weekly.
 There are to be no bread cards which it would take time and money 10 print and distribute. There may. however. he cards for articles i'm ported in large quantities. such as gasoline. coffee, sugar wood. cotton and coal, notably British hard coal.

 It is even said this idea has found favor among several members of the cabinet, who have gone so far as to offer their portfolios 10 Premier Briand if by doing so the formation of such a nationally representative ministry would be facilitated. NJ. Briand thus far has taken no action in this respect.

POLL PLAYERS IN
 PLEASING COMEDY
"The Girl From Child'S" Acted
 and Staged We'll
By Herald Reyiewer.1

Mary Ann Dentler is a charming and appealing little miss under all conditions but this week in "The Girl From Child's,' which is being presented by the Poli Players at the Hartford Palace. she is un- usually so as the spite bride" of Q millionaire nee'r-do-vell who mar ried her and sent her home to his wealthy and aristocratic parents simply 10 wreak his vengeance on them by insulting their pride. "The Girl from Child's" is comedy drama in three acts is well staged as usnal and despite it's almost continuous comedy it never drags. In fact the opening nights per formance was over at 10:15 p. m.
 From start 10 finish "The Girl From Child's" is a riot of laughter with just enough of the sober ele- mont in if 10 tone 1t down and witt sufficient romance to keep up inter- est yet not so much as 10 make if sloppy. It is an excellent vehicle for the company and far better than the simple name of the play indi- catos.
 Miss Dentlcr has the role Of New York girl. a waitress in Child's restaurant, a master of slang, the captain of her own dcs- tiny and a miss who permits no class or social distinctions to over awe her. Her line Of slang would make a told avcnoo" urchin turn green with envy even as 1t con- vulscs the audience. In the main. q scion Of Washington wealth Is dis owned by his family and in a drunken orgy he conceives the idea Of marrying this slangy little wait ross and shipping her home 10 dis may and annoy his parents. IL works all right. but the innocence of the girl arouscs inc pity Of a younger brother and, well pity is akin 10 love. or course in the end it develops that the wedding was fraud anyway. which makes it convenient for the younger brother.
 Dorothy Russell Lord is fine as the rather "Ritzy" young ward of Mir. and Mrs. Woods played by Edmund Abbey and Edna Earle Andrews. Elaine Temple makes the most of d maids part and Jay Ray is the usual efficient butler. liar old Kennedy returns this week as a newspaper reporter. As Henry Woods, the black-sheep son ot wealth, Walter Scott Weeks adds to his successes. Both as the drunken, maudlin young man and later as the cold-blooled. heartIcse money seeker. he is most convinc- ing. Joseph Moran also has a su- pcrior part this week as Lord Don chester, supposedly British royal ty product. He high hats" il around for two acts, then discloscs himself as a fortune hunter. His work is excellent. Jay Holly is the younger son who befricnds the Iit- tie waitress and, Of course, wins her affections.
 All in all, it's stock production well worth seeing Next week tho company presents "Thc Poor Nut" just released for stock.

FORTY MELLETT
QUIZ WITNESSES
To Appear Before Grand
Jury Converting Wednesday.

BIZ Unftei Press
CANTON, Ohio. Aug. 23.-More
than forty witnesses will appear be-
fore the grand jury converting here
Wednesday to consider evidence
gathered by investigators seeking to
fix blame for the murder OF Don r.
Mellette, it was learned today.
About half the witnesses will be
provided by Ora Slater, Stark coun-
ty investigator, and half by Joseph
Roach. special police counsel. These
witnesses will implicate at least five
persons, according to their sponsors.
Roach criticised Prosecutor c. B.
McClintock as preparations were
made for the jury session. He
charged McClintock. Republican
candidate for Congress, fears polit-
ical consequences of the probe. An
assistant prosecutor is expected to
be named today.
Federal authorities conducting an
inquiry into LIQUOR aspects Of the
case promised further arrests. Three
already have been charged with con-
spiracy.

case.
Federal Courts
Now In the Federal Courts, the
judges have the same power that
the English judges have, but in
many of the State courts. it has
been taken away, and the jury
system as it is administered in such
courts is not the English common
law system at all and it greatly
weakens the probability Of the con-
viction of criminals that war on
society"
The chief justice paused media
lively and chuckled good-naturedly
before continuing:
IT'S a curious result in those
communities where the weakened
power of the judge exists. The peo-
pie first take away the power and
then they criticise the judges for
not conducting courts in which
crimes are punished. Some official
in the court has to be trusted and

the English law where the judge is
trusted, has indicated itself in the
administration of English justice.
More than that, an abuse OF
power by the judge, under our sys-
tenn Of review, Is easily corrected by
the Appellate Court.
Secondly. there is need in many
places of more judges to do the
criminal work land then even when
the judges are sufficient in number
there is no supervising authority to
distribute them from one district to
another so as to mass the judicial
force to overcome congestion of
business in heavier districts.
Thirdly, there is not enough

Not Pessimist

borhood is too often effective to OBJ
