 But, Nelson claimed in the story which he told to the police. instead Of stopping and ascertaining the damage which had been done, Cur Cio put out his lights and drove down Pearl street to Maple street to Whiting street before Nelson who was giving chase. could stop him.
 Nelson asked Gurcio 10 come to the police station and report the accident. but the man refused, he told police. However, Gurcio did come as far as Franklin Square. Nelson says, but did not get out of his car or come further Nelson got the registration of the car, and Officer Louis E.

AT THE STRAND
Joan CraWford-star.


 The heroine of Our Dancing Daughters dawned at the Strand theater as a star in her own right and in q play that certainly was an suspicious introduction for a new member of the Metro-G oldwyn- Mayer galaxy.
 Our Modern Maidens," a syn ahronized sound production, epic of the jazz age, was the story.
 Spectacular, entertaining, with a powerful and gripping dramatic theme underlying an entire cross section of the modern spirit of youth, the play is one of the most remarkable in modern years. In fact, it is really a bit of important screen history. But better than that, it's a hundred per cent enter tainment
 Miss Crawford, as the jazz girl who seeks to bargain with love and wrecks a life happiness in the at tempt, rises to splendid dramatic heights in her scenes with Rod La RoCque and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., who play the two principal male roles in the story. Anita Page, Jo- sophine Dunn, Eddie Nugent, AL bert Gran and the rest of the splen- did cast are ideally suited to their roles. Jack Conway, the director handled the plot with delft touches and splendid sense of balance.
