She sizes up the situation again
exactly when she says:
The result is a general impression
about the nation that | am a person
obsessed with but a single, dominant
determination-namely, the COM
plete humiliation of demon Rum
and all of his consorts; and that |
am bent on the failing or executing
of every person who dares raise a
voice in opposition to the Eighteenth
Amendment and the Volstead Act.
But she confesses too much when
she says:
The fact is that before l took

ton movement. l am now, but was

This then is an admission that
Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, the
apostle of prohibition had been her
self either a whiskey drinker or a
wine drinker or both and that it was
necessary to use the strong arm of
the law to "break the habit" so to
speak. But why say more? Mrs.
Willebrandt is convicted out of her
own mouth. Who was it that said,

MRS. WILLEBRANDT'S BLUNDER

We must admit that we have no
sympathy for Mrs. Mabel Walker
Willebrandt, the brilliant lawyer,
who occupied for eight years the
position of Assistant Attorney Gem
'eral of the United States. She was
merciless in her dealing with others,
who had the misfortune to invoke
her displeasure. Her action in deal
ing with colored leaders in the
Southland was not only cruel, but
brutal.
This was particularly true in her
attitude towards Special Assistant
Attorney General Perry w. Howard,
of Mississippi, for she refused to
recognize the action of the South
ern jury of white men, who unani-
mously acquitted him of any wrong
doing and she was not fair-minded
enough to accord to him deserved
recognition when a second white jury
had rendered similar findings in an
other case.
1t seems though that it will be a
source of much qualification to those
whom she prosecuted when they
read the first installment of her
series of letters to the New York
Times, which began August 5, 1929.
She has returned to private prac-
tice and she does not seem to real
ize to this day that her selfish egot-
ism, her love for publicity and no
toriety has brought her to her pres
ent condition and created a predica-
ment on her part, which will subject
her to additional humiliation and
ridicule.
She has reached a point in her
career where her talk and writings
upon this subject will serve only to
make "a bad matter worse" She
has had her day and silence should
accompany her into her retirement.
She will find that the series of twen-
ty-one letters will prove to be her
most monumental blunder She I'M
Willingly tells her enemies and de-
tractors just where she was and is
now most vulnerable. She says:

SHIELD OF HONOR"
 IS NOW AT PALACE

A delft and skillful combination of melodrama, pathos, comedy and realism, told in scenes both color full and thrilling, makes "The Shield of Honor" the Universal which opened last night at the Palace Theatre, one of the most en- tertaining photoplays of the sea- son.
 The entire picture is a glorifica- tion of the nations arm of the law, the policeman. He is shown at work and at home, and the picture brings home wildly the dangers and hardships to which the policemen of the metropolitan city force are subjected.
 Some of the most thrilling fight and fire scenes ever filmed pro- vide the elemental climaxes. It is a story of the inside workings of a metropolitan police force and shows how an officer of the law lives loves and fights. It was written by Emile Johnson and directed by her son, Emory Johnson. The cast embraces such players as Neil Ham ilton, Ralph Lewis, Dorothy Gulli- yer, Fred Esmelton, Joe Girard and Nigel Barrie.

FOR ALIMONY ONLY"
 AT PALACE SUNDAY

What. is the difference between a farce" and a "comedy?" What dis tinguishes one from the other?
 These questions came up on the set at the De Mile Studio where For Alimony Only was filmed with Leatrice Joy in the starring role, and William de Mile, the di- rector, interrupted his directorial work to deliver lecture on the subject. Everybody listened, of course, for MT de Miles views on any theatrical subject are valuable.
 "Humor in a comedy must be true and convincing" remarked MT. de Mile, who was formerly of the fac ulty of Sargent School of Drama. "The Imaginable situations in farce. on the other hand are not necessar- fly logical'
 Whereupon William de Mile re- placed his ponderous pipe between his teeth and resumed the produc- tion of For Alimony Only" in
 which Give Brook, Lilyan Fash man and Casson Ferguson play fea- tured roles. For Alimony Only" will be shown at the Palace thea ter Sunday only. It is said to be fascinating comedy of marital life, with theme relating to wom- en who marry, not for love, but for alimony only.

FRECKLES IS NOW
 SHOWING, COLISEUM

Few are the cases wherein mo- tion picture director has taken q famous novel and brought it to the screen with the same spirit and atmosphere that the author in tended it to have, but such a pie ture opened last night at the Coli scum. It is the late Gene Strat- ton-Porter'S "FTeckles," an FBO production directed by her son-in- law, Leo Meehan.
 Without altering the action or the spirit Meehan has taken Mrs. Porters delightful tale and pro- duced it on the screen correct in every detail.
 One of the outstanding features of both the book and picture is it's simple understanding of human na- ture.
 The story is the tale of a young orphan handicapped by the loss in childhood, of one hand. Friendless, he accepts the dangerous task of guarding the valuable Limberlost Forest. Through his bravery he becomes admired by the Bird Wom- an, a nature lover, and her daugh- ter, the Swamp Angel. Love quick ly develops between Freckles and the Angel, and of course there is happy ending.
 Special credit should be given to the cast, which includes John Fox, Jr., Gene Stratton, Hobart Bos- worth, Eulalie Jensen, Billy Scott, Lafe Mckee, and Frankie Darro.
