To insure delivery of next Sun days issue, readers are strongly ad- vised to place a special order with their news-dealer now.
 We have secured at great expense the sole right to all articles by Supt. Walter l.. Traprock, whose retire. ment after 25 years brilliant service at the Police Headquarters has just been announced. Although his name has chiefly been associated with the suppression of street betting and the illicit traffic in chocolate after hours, he has made profound study of murders and murderers.
 The fruit of these studies will be found in the startling series en- titled
 New Light on Old Crimes the first of which will appear on Sunday next.
 In this enthralling article Supt. Traprock will give an amazing reply to the familiar query, "Who Killed Cock Robin?" The motive for the dreadful deed will be found after re- search in the grim records of sexual pathology. subject with which MT. Traprock will not hesitate to deal at length.
 Terrible and even nauseating de- tails of the staying of poor Robin are now availa ble, and we shall not shrink from our plain duty, which is to give them full publicity. An organ which forms the staple reading on Sundays in all this city's and suburbs homes shall never fail to put the true facts of life before the men and women, aye, and the growing children, of this great com l munity.

Clarence Brown, who directed
Gilbert and Miss Carlo in Flesh

ance together, was the director.
The reunion on the screen Of Gill
bert and Miss Carlo was said at the
time the picture was being cast at
the Metro-G Goodwin Mayer studio,
to be due to the unusual interest OF
cinemagoers.
Miss Carlo has the role of high
spirited English society girl, a very
different type from those she has
essayed before. For the part she
has relinquished what has been
termed the "Garbo stink" and has
even changed the style of her
clothes.
One of the interesting scenic
episodes in the film is the oxford
and Cambridge boat race on the
Thames, and a deal of research and
preliminary training was required.
For one item, two eight-cared crews
had to be rehearsed. For another,
all the details of the race had to be
made as authentic as If they were
photographed in the actual location.
So much of English customs had
to be transferred to the screen for
the picture that the studio sent its
own technical expert, Mrs Natalie
Bucknall, abroad to supervise the
tabulation of the data from which
the technical phases of the filming
were directed.
The program of sight and sound
pictures will also include new issues
of Metro movietone vaudeville,
