''0ld San Francisco" With Do- lor& Costello Starting Today

When one mentions old San Fran cisco to . native California his eyes glisten. Most men undoubtedly love tho places wherein they first saw tho light. This seems to be natural. but no man, apparently loves his natal place so deeply as tho man who halls from the state bordering on the Pacific. In this regard the native Californian is said to resemble the Irishman. The latter never realizes how much he loves tho green sod of Erin until he Is separated from it and the Californ- ian never goes into such ecstasies over his native place as when he is miles away from it.
 It does seem, however, as if there was much reason for the Californian who was born and brought up in San Francisco to look back on the city with love and veneration. To him the City of the Golden Gate always had an air and a sun that was all It's own. It was in the old days a care-free city much given over to frivolity and amusement. Business there was. in plenty. but there was always time for pleasure. How this state of affairs came about it Is easy to understand.

 All of these things are brought out with a nice sense of art and dis erection in "Old San Francisco in which Warner Bros. are starring the beautiful and talented Dolores Cos tello.

ASK CASH PRIZES

Members of Association Threaten
 to Form New Sports Body

Red Wing. Minn.. Feb. CF- and professionalism were more anil mated subjects of discussion at the annual ski associations tournament today than the outcome Of the vari- ous championship events.
 Thirty leading members of the as- sociation have served an ultimatum on the organization that unless cash awards are given henceforth. they will establish their own association.
 Association officials have wired officers of the amateur athletic union. inQuiring if cash awards at the national tournament would cost the association its amateur standing. Deniel J. Ferris. secretary-treasurer of the union. when apprised by the Associated Press on the skiiers' de- mands. said if contestants accepted cash prizes in a ski meet or in any other competition. they would lose their amateur standing.
 Proponents of the cash award plan, including the national cham pion. Lars Haugen. and his brother. Anders. 1924 American Olympic representative. complained that they had so many trophies that more were worthless. They contended cash awards would provide greater incentive for the skiiers and give the spectators a better tournament.
 Opponents of the plan said cash awards would commercialize and subsequently ruin the sport.

 Aquiculturists at Cornell uni- versity are seeking a warm water brook trout. When and If they de- velop 1t the number of streams that can be populated with these cold water game fish will be doubled.
 As every angler knows. the trout likes the chilly element. but the tisn the Cornell scientists are after would live in water af S5 degrees Fahren- heit, which is the approximate the summer temperature of many streams. Experiments have shown that some trout can be kept for brief intervals in water as warm as 75 to so degrees.

 Two mysterious murders commit ted in the dark, a seance during which a ghost appears. weird oc- currences. shrieks coming from mo- where, a bony claw appearing from the wall-these and a few more thrilling incidents go to make up The Clutching Claw" which had its premiere at Parsons theater. Hart ford, last night.
 Barring the failure of several me chanical devices and taking into consideration the fact that it was the first presentation, the mystery dra Sa went along fairly smoothly and the audience seemed to take huge de- light in feeling its hair rise and its spine Quiver. Three curtain calls were given the company at the con- clusion of the show
 Of particular interest to New Brit ain was the appearance of Robert Middlemas of this city in one of the principal roles. Middlemas appears in the character of Captain Connolly. bull necked detective. who be- lieves in making arrests first when crime is committed and then wiring ing confession from the prisoner. He is decidedly good in the part. In fact, his work stood out prominently and his lines and mannerisms were greeted with prolonged laughter. He was true to the type of the eN-pa- trolman who becomes a detective and confidently believes that he cannot be wrong.
 Ralph Morgan appears as Gordon. q newspaperman turned criminol,o- gist, who follows deductive meth ods familiar to readers of Sherlock Holmes. Minnie Dupree provides the best bit of acting on the female side of the house as the maid who be- lieves in spirits. Richard Brandon makes rather chilly Chilean servant. against whom the audience involuntarily casts suspicion for the murders.

AIR MAIL RATE
TO Be CUT BY
HALF IN MONTH
Increase in Service Fore
cast by Author of Stat
ute for Reduction.
BY KENNETH WATSON

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The
Postoffice Department plans to cut
present air mail rates in half with
in a month.
Representative Clyde Kelly, Penn
Sylvania, made this announcement
today in introducing a bill which
will permit the department to re-
duce rates to one-fourth of the
present charges.
my bill provides for amending
the present law so the minimum
charge will be S cents an ounce
instead of 10 cents. The proposal
has the support of many postal Of
f1cials," Kelly said.
Kelly predicted if his bill passed
and the Postofice Department
charges the minimum rate the air
mail business will be tripled imme-
diately.
at would then be possible to send
a letter by air mail from one end
of the continent to the other for
5 cents instead of 20 cents, as at
present." Kelly said.
Kelly's bill also contains features
designed to place the air mail bust
ness on a permanent footing. One
provision will give the Postmaster
General authority to issue to con-
tractors air mail certificates which
will enable them to hold their routes
as long as they comply with postal
regulations and give the public good
service.
"The present law provides that
an air mail contract is valid only
for four years and this fact is a
deterrent to contractors spending as
much money as should be for the
service" Kelly said.
