picture, seemingly, and the action
piles itself up and ends with a
breath-taking climax. To the per,
son who is well verSed In !egal
affairs, there are certain points IN
the trial scene that could not
happen in a real courtroom, put
these add to the interest OF the
picture as a whole. The con-
tinuity is maintained in f1aWleSs
manner, and the standardization
is above the average. Norma
Shearer, as Mary Dugan, comes 10
the front as an emotional actress:
Lewis Stone, with a splendid
speaking voice, holds his high
batting average in the talkleS,
and others in the cast are well
selected. 1.-THE Trial of Mary
Dugan' is probably the best ex--
ample of the new entertainment
medium exhibited in washington
up to date. Other better ones will
come along, as Synchronization
processes are perfected.
THE newest move of the photo
- play producers is the signing
of concert artists, and John Nc
Cormack is the first leader in that
field to sign a contract. Word
comes from Hollywood that the
Irish tenor has placed his sigma
ture to a paper for the FOX organ
ization and that he has Cancelled
his concert tour for next Fall in
order to devote all his time to
Movietone production.

 ASSUMING BIG THREAT

JERUSALEM. Aug. 2S, P)-The Jewish dead for four days of war fare with Arabs now numbers ov- CT a hundred, fifteen of whom are American students who were at the Rabbinical college, at Herbron studying religion. The Arab dead is thought to number as many. Hundreds on boths sides are suf- fering from wounds. Southern Palestine was momentarily quiet today but a new outbl eak was re- ported north of the holy city. par ticularly near Haifa. Considera ble footing is taking place every where. but at Mozza the Arabs left all bounds. There. many chief tains are marked with blue cross es, indica ting that they are neith- CT Jews nor Arabs.
 There is terrible shortage of medical supplies. and food prices have reached the famine level. Funds have been started to main tain the lives of all the Jewish people flocking in from different parts of the Holyland. Hostili- ties were reported to have been so venomous beyond Palestine. that local authorities sent a large de- tachment of troops to protect liv- es in many quarters in Damascus.
