Produce Well Acted Screen
Version OF "Bellanuy 7wdl''

A WELL-ACTED and well-pro-
duced screen version of Frances
Noyes Harris famous murder mys-
terry, "The Bellamy Trial." is now
at the Embassy Theatre.
Directed by Monta Bell, who OBJ
tanned his training under Charlie
Chaplin, it is an entertaining pic
ture. Only on a few occasions does
it take liberties with the story and
they are only to quicken the action.
Having read the book, / can COM
pare it with the picture. The pic
ture is as accurate as possible and
follows the story closely.
The cast is noteworthy one and
includes such old favorites as Lea
trice Joy and Betty Bronson. While
all the members of the cast give a
creditable performance, Edward Nu-
gent, a newcomer, portraying a
young reporter, is the best bet of
them all. An unnamed actor in the
Part of the school teacher is also
worth special mention.
A caption at the end of the pic
ture requests that the name Of the
guilty party not be divulged, so fu-
ture audiences will enjoy the picture
to the utmost. Therefore, only a
partial recital of the story is pos
sible in this review.
Mimi Bellamy is stabbed to death
in Long Island cottage and her
husband, Stephen, and Sue Ives are
arrested, charged with the Crime.
The entire picture is taken up by
showing their trial and the confess
sion by the actual murderer. Any
one who has any interest in an hon
est-to. goodness sensational murder
case will like this picture. Witness
after witness take the stand and for
a long time things look very black
for Stephen and Sue.
Of course, the picture has talking
sequences. While they are not
necessary to make it interesting,
they are so we'll done that at times
one actually feels he is in court lis.
tening to a real trial. In the part
of the picture devoted to talking
Charles B. Middleton, who plays the
part of the district attorney, stands
out. When viewing the district at
torney cross-examining the defend
ants, it is not difficult to realize
how many workers in real life fee
when they are brought into n cap
italist court. In the picture, Of
course, it is different; Stephen is
wealthy, and it is brought out in
the testimony that he was the re.
publican party candidate for state
senate. He is therefore given a Ger.
tain amount of consideration by the
judge and district attorney. If he
were foreign born worker, like
Sacco and Vanzetti, the treatment
nlcted out would have been differ.
ent.
All in all, the picture is good and
is worth seeing.

SPEEDS UP THE
PACKARD NE N
Boss Dimes the Spanish
Royalty
(By a Worker Correspondent

by Worker Correspondent
DETROIT (By MaiI While the
president of the Packard Motor Car
Co. was giving the heirs to the
Spanish throne a fine time in De-
troit, the workers in his plant were
receiving wage cuts and enjoying"
the speed-up. At about the same
time the capitalist Free Press" an
nounced an extra cash dividend of 5
per cent.
Workers in Department L. NJ. B.
have had very little bonus money
in the last three or four months.
Before vacation this year, for which
Packard slaves do not get paid,
these workers were getting about
20 per cent bonus; now they are
lucky to get 2 per cent in two
months.
The higher-ups got after the fore
man in this department and warned
him because he did not speed up the
men sufficiently. Now he has to
play second fiddle to man named
Grover, who swears like trooper
at the workers. He is Sunday
school teacher.
If he sees a worker resting lit
tie, he goes into commissions; he
strides down the aisle after him. If
he thinks any worker is in the toilet,
this "man of god" will send straw
boss in to kick him out. One of
the straw-bosses in particular is the
worst slave-driyer. You can't sit
down a minute, for he will come
poking around and suddenly dis
cover all kinds of jobs for you.
Grover has little stool-pigeon
called Mickey who bosses everybody
around. He is a personal friend of
the boss and no one can talk back
to him. If he does, the boss will
come around, find something wrong,
and fire him. The stool-pigeon re-
ports everything that goes on, and
if anyone talks organization out he
goes.

Down in the courtyard two SOL
diers were strapping the box of val
uables on to a transport horse. An
tons son, the Red Army commander
Audrey, stood by and gave instruc-
tions to send the box to divisional
headquarters.
Up in the attic Paul looked out
of the narrow window. "The dirty
swine" he muttered, "the dirty

looking out of the window also.
'To think" he said, "that l have
raised my own son to become Red"
The boy looked up sharply.
"What?"
"Yes, it's true. That's him down
in the yard-the commissar. And
now he is sending his excellency's
valuables away"
Paul's delicate face became alive
with rage. His eyes flashed. He was
furious. He rushed to the wall and
tore Andrey's picture down pulling
it to bits. He threw the pieces on
the floor, stamping on them.
"Your son." he shrieked, "your son
the devil"
Calm yourself, little MASTER" An
ton said reassuringly, calm your
self, they will soon go, you will see"
Paul sat down on the only chair in
the room and gritted his teeth with
passion, his face white with anger.
A courier rode up to Commander
Audrey and handed him letter. An

Important Decision
 Rendered

Judge E. Coke Hill recently rendered an important decision relative to tide lands. Tn the case of United States vs. Jen- nie Lynch, he declared that tide lands in Alaska, even though oc- cupied, remain the property ot the United States and subject to Federal authority. Defendant in the case was a Ketchikan In dian.
 Action was brought by the then District Attorney A. G. Shoup, to enjoin erection of per manent structures that would effect navigation. Judge Wick ersham represented defendant. and affirmed that under the In dian claims law, she had a right to the land involved and could not be disturbed in her posses sion and use of it. Judge Hill decided as a matter of fact that Congress at no time had made it possible for Indians or anyone else to claim paramount title to tide lands, title of which in fee simple, he declared, remained vested in the Federal govern ment in trust for future State that may be created out of the Territory of Alaska.
 The Lynch case in the future will be important in the settling Of disputes affectin use of tide lands.

Middleton Returns;
 Flag at Halfmast

The Washington and Wiscon- sin, two big seiners operating in the westward arrived in port last night with a thrilling tale of neroism on the stormy seas off Yakutat.
 These boats with Hillside II were going south from Seward to seattle when they were caught in the storms off the Gulf of AL aska on the night of the 18th. The Hillside was lost sight of by the other two boats which had the battle of their lives on their hands.
 During the night a furious wave smashed the rudder of the Hillside so that she drifted help lessly in the storm. Capt. Ragna Jensen ordered a mattress sat- urated with gasoline and lighted as a signal torch. When this was done the Middleton saw it and battled it's way to the help less craft. All of the crew of the Hillside were saved but the Mid oletOn lost Knute Haugen when 2 great wave washed him over board and the decks clean of ev- cry bit of gear and equipment. Haugen was seen but once by the crew; Capt. Isaacson stayed by herOically trying to find Knute without avail.
 The last seen of the Hillside was when she was going down bow first to the bottom of the Gulf of Alaska. All the boats show considerable rough hand ling by the winds and seas. The seven men saved from the Hill side are proceeding south on the other two craft.
 Capt. Isaacson declared that he encountered the fiercest wa ters in the Gulf during this ex- periece, than he has ever en- countered in a small craft. Too much credit cannot be given Capt. Isaacson for his skill and seamanship in handling his craft saving the men from the illfated vessel; and to his crew, for their part and the for getting of self that others might be saved.

 The situation, argued Norris, was similar to the Chicago gang war, contending that the import CTS had poached upon Grundy's manufacturing preserves.
 "Grundy says, these consum- CTS are our victims,' Norris told the senate as he waved a Ger man doll in the air. We claim the right to rob these people against you importing robbers because the importers haven't any right to rob people in oul territory"
