AT THE QUEEN

Crime has always held a fascina-
ton for the public at large.
The unraveling of a murder mys-
terry holds an even deeper fascina-
ton; perhaps due to a d~eep-seated
desire to see justic achieved and the
guilty punished.
At any rate crime, detective and
mystery novels have long sold more
copies than any other kind. And
plays and motion pictures of crime
and its detection win the same pop
ularity as the novel. The more puz-
cling the crime and its solution, the
more the public likes it.
Lovers of such screen fare have
found a picture exactly to their
likinr in The Ware Case" the
First National picture now at the
Queen theater, judging from the
big attendance at every perform
ance. The intricacy of the plot
the Withholding Of the solution till
the sensational climax make it an
ideal film Of its type. 1t will remain
at the Queen theater for two
more days. Stewart Rome, Betty
Carter, Wellington Briggs, Sameror
Carr, Cynthia Murtagh and Syc
Ellery head the cast.

Seventy-two boundary lights,
spaced at $50 feet, surround the

The revolving beacon light,

have reported seeing its rays when

The Illuminated wind cone is car
ried on a 45-foot tower, and is of
ample size to be seen by the pilot at

The entire lighting system is con-

With all illumination on, the air
port becomes as light as day. Each
building stands out distinctly, and
from the air the port becomes a
square of soft light which does not
glare, but which brings out to the
pilot every detail of the landing
field, runways and buildings.
