lima, Tennessee, Colorado Oklahoma,
Nebraska, Pennsylvania and West Viz
ginia. 1t stands ready to aid district
attorneys in any place in the country

der continued during the past year and
that the ocean SmugglerS had discarded

boats. 1t asserted that st. Pierre
Miquelon. French POSSESSION, III the
mouth of the ST. Lawrence River. had
been the chief base for the illegal liquor

tuted during the year totaled 56,7S6,

prohibition cases, as compared with
1882, 1853 the year before.
Commitments at Climax.
Included in the report was a state
ment by Sanford Bates, superintendent
of prisons, who said the problem OF
coping with the tremendous increase
in the number of persons committed by
the Federal criminal courts" had
reached a climax.
Bates said the United States Prison
Bureau today does not know how many
Federal prisoners are in county jails,
although he said there were about a
thousand of these institutions now
housing such prisoners.
Emphasizing the crowded condition
of Federal penitentiaries. he said the
Atlanta prison, even with the ques-
tionable practice of placing two or more
men in a cell, might house comfortably
1.7l2 persons, but that it now had 81

Field For Talkies

What does the advent Of talking

popularity Of plays in pantomime
on the silent, silver sheet? OF

actions for and against the talking

Confusion reigns in comparisons Of
silence with sound on the part of
Broadway patrons, far off in New
York, where all amusement seekers
are surfeited and spoilt with their
varieties Of entertainment in every

But what does the invention of

Canary Murder Case" which is
now showing at the Arcadia the
alter, and former attractions like
Interference" attest to the many,
advantages in favor of this new
and remarkable invention which
has made certain film plays audi

detective drama, 1.-The Canary
Murder Case" featuring as its chief
character, Philo Vance. the GRIM

author, >. 5. Van Dine and por-
trayed by that distinguished actor,

thrills; but not of course. to the
clever lines and audible dramatic
action. Safe to say. without the
invention Of "the talkies," none in
this vicinity could have enioyed
such a play with its art of CONVEX

And SO, here's a fair indication
OF what audibility versus the silent
