Much of the action is laid in a night club, This interior is said to be the most striking scene Of the year. The dec orations and the general arrange ment and lighting of this set have set, new standards in cincmato- 8raphy,
 1 Against it's bizarre and modernstic 1 backgrounds, a chorus Of sixty train- ed dancers put on a show that has no equal in the most gilded New | York night club of the present or in the elaborate cabarets Of the past.

Lowe, Jr., the scenarist. is exceptionally well handled through out the picture by the principals and | other members of the cast.

CHRISTMAS SEAL
 SALE FALLS OFF
Only S2,012 Received for Tu- berCulOSiS Relief Work

Receipts from Christmas seal sales this year have been discouras- ing thus far, with only $2,012 paid lA to date, as against more than $500 at the same tune last year.
 In order to continue etfectually 1lh all-year anti-tuberculosis battle, ihe New Britain Tuberculosis Relief society has appealed to all citizens who have as yet not mailed their Christmas seal funds, or returned the seals to do so immediately.
 c. w. Upson, president of the as sociatlon in making the appeal, urg. d that every public spirited citizen who has the welfare of the commun ity at heart mail his check for the seals sent him during the course of the associations annual campaign.
 Tt has been our experience" AIr. tpson said, that many people who have up to this time neglected to re :. turn their money or their seals, be- lieve that 1t is too late 10 do so Such is not the case. All those who have seals and cash are respectfully 6 urged to return them Immediately 10 Miss Cornelia Chamberlain, Sunnyledge, New Britain"
 Mir. tpson pointed out that the response from the sale of seals this year has been disheartening in that last year at this time there had been received in excess of S2,500. So far this year, the receipts have net led $2,Q12, and more money is sore lN needed, Mir. Upson asserted to0ay Tn pointing to the great program ot relief work that is carried on by the New Britain Tuberculosis Relief so- Ciety.
 The Christmas seas are being sold as usual this year through the medium of the children in the pub. llc and parochial schools, but there Will be no reports on the sale by the scholars until after the schools reopen after the holidays.

LINCOLN EX.HEAD
 REVIEWS FORD SUIT
Seeks S6,O00,00O Reimburse. lneDt for Former Stockholders

Pontiac, Mich, Dec o7 UP) - The long pending sG,O00. 900 suit of Henry Leland against Henry Ford, his former friend, in which Ford is charged with breaking his promise 10 reimburse former Lincoln Motor stockholders, has been revived through a 300 page deposition filed hy Rev. John II. Bourne, former secretary to Leland.
 Leland's suit against Ford asks that all former stockholders Of the Lincoln company be reimbursed for alleged losses suffered when the company went bankrupt
 In 1922, according to Bourne. Ford orally promised Leland, for mer head of the Lincoln Co.,. that all Lincoln stockholders would be paid in full for their stock holdings aIthough Ford chased the com- pany at a receivers sale. Bourne admitted letters had been sent to Lincoln stockholders after the re- cciver's sale stating their holdings were worthless, but said he signed the names of Henry and Wilfred (. Leland to the letters without their knowledge at the instruction of the Lincoln company attorney Harold II. Emmons.
 2,400 Plaintiffs Listed
 The suit in it's present form is an amended bill Of complaint listing 400 former Lincoln Co stoclhold CTS as suggested by the state su- preme court in ruling that Oakland county courts erred in denying Ford's motion for dismissal of the original suit.
 Explaining why he told stock holders their shares were worthless when he knew of Ford's promise to the elder Leland, Bourne's depo- sItlon stated the motor manufac- turer Was supposed to have made the refund announcement himself.
