ing dramas of youth ever presented.

the hidden hooks in the lives of three
very modern young Women who go

Josephine Lovett displays a remark
able insight into the character of the
youth of today and dips her facile
pen far into the we'll of life to draw
The vivid characterizations, brought
before us in this ultra-modern film
ization.

tBy Herald Reviewer)
Bayard Veiller's interesting melo-
drama, THE Trial Of Mary Dugan."
which has been presented in every
city where a legitimate theater ex-
lists, continues to make a strong ap-
peal to the public. Returning to
Parsons theater, Hartford. last
night for a second visit. 1t seemed
to have all the fascination of yore.
Newspapermen realize that. in Or
der to bring out points with en-
phasis, the author or the director
have exaggerated their situations.
They know that lawyers who con-
duct themselves as do the attorneys
during Mary's trial would be hanged,
drawn, quartered and. If there was
anything left of them. disbarred
from practice for glazing and wilful
contempt of court. But this fact does
not weaken the play and if it is
taken with grain of salt all is we'll.
1t is an interesting story we'll told.
Edward Emerson's characterize
ton OF Jimmy is outstanding in the
current cast. His work last night
won rounds of applause. Edith Bro
der had the role of Mary and han
died it with realism. John Spacey
appeared as the sneering, caustic
district attorney-the villain of the
piece. Kirk Brown was convincing as
Judge Nash. Louie Liddel and Re-
gina Daw were the "Follies" girls
whose mannerisms provide the few
laughs in the play.
1.-The Trial of Mary Dugan" will
be repeated tonight and tomorrow
night with a matinee tomorrow.

very locality where values have increased in
big jumps. Combined with permanent devel-
opment in that section, a new situation has
been created-right where Brownsville's ship
channel begins. Men and women with vision
and foresight will buy real estate in Summit
Place for quick profit.
Buy now-while the prices are within reach.
Buy and build to sell or rent. We want you
to drive out to Summit Place. You will be
interested just as soon as you see this splen-
did location. 1t is an opportunity to get in
ahead of the crowds which will turn toward
this section of Brownsville. Such an oppor-
tunity comes only once in a lifetime.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1929-01-06

If you have missed opportunities around
Brownsville in the past, here is another one
inviting you to share the profits due to un-
questioned growth.
Summit Place is located on the highest elcva-
ton in Brownsville. Enjoys greater Access
sibility than the average location. 1t means
that Summit Place is directly and convenient
ly located from the main business section of
Brownsville and directly on the main line Of
traffic from Brownsville to Point Isabel,
Municipal Air Port, New Ship Channel, a rich
farming community, all of which means a
super-volume of traffic. Confidentia1ly, you
cannot afford to miss this wonderful oppor-
tunity.

Only a few years ago there began a develop
ment Of Victoria Heights. 1t was the begin
ming OF a section of Brownsville that numbers
1900 people, with many beautiful homes and
numerous business houses.
1t may not have occurred to you then that
homes by the score would be erected and
property values increase many times, and that
somebody would reap a very substantial pro-
fit by investing in that section.
You may have forgotten that choice residence
lots and business locations could be purchased
for little money just a few short years ago,
and that it is difficult to get a good location
how for less than $1,000 to $4,000. Well, that
was a fact until Summit Place was plated.

A victory of great significance tc
the shoe workers of New York was
yesterday won by the Independent
Shoe Workers Union, now in the
midst of an extremely fruitful Or
ganization drive. The Elbee Shoe

of pact observance.
In addition to this further sue

SOAP FACTORY
GIRLS STRIKE:
Ivory Plant Is Again
Scene of Struggle

Fifty young girls, employed as
packers in the Proctor and Gamble
soap plant at Port Ivory, Staten
Island. walked out on strike Tues
day. They proved their determine
ton to win by preventing scabs
from stealing their jobs yesterday.
The strikers demand a wage in
crease.
The walkout was precipitated
when the plant management reor-
ganized the packing department by
installing labor-saving machinery.
Workers in the mechanical depart
ment had struck successfully earlier
in the year against an attempted
efficiency system.
The management claimed in press
statements that there was no
strike" that the "girls had simply
cult" advertising thereby for
strikebreakers. A few answered the
ad. Stopped before they got in,
they were told of the strike. Appa-
rently they were ready to disregard
the warnings of the pickets, for they
suddenly scurried away. Later they
told police they had been slapped
and otherwise disrespectfully ham
died. This was denied by the strik-
ers when police questioned them
later. The "skirmish" was alleged
to have taken place at the main
gate of the Proctor and Gamble
plant.
The girl workers conditions have
declined steadily for years. Before
the installation of the speed-up the
workers packed so cases an hour,
but the new machines installed re-
suited in the dismissal of many
workers. Those who remained were
compelled to pack 100 cases an
hour, with wages at the SIS week
level.
The Trade Union Educational
League has sent organizers into the
strike area to assist the workers in
organizing their ranks and in other
aspects of the struggle.
The strikers are demanding an
increase in wages in view of their
doing twice as much work.

Two children were reported today to

Guiding six foreigners, are said to
be missing as result of the COLI
sion of the italian cruiser Libya
with the Chinese coastwise vessel
Kangtai as the Libya was prepar-
ing to go to the aid of the sinking
Italian destroyer Muggia Tuesday
morning.
The collision occurred in the
mouth of the Yangtse River. The
Kangtai had 8S. passengers and a
crew of 40 aboard. Six foreigners
and seventy Chinese were rescued.
The Japanese steamer Matsumoto
Maru, in charge of Capt. Kaneko,
brought to this port today four Of
ficers and liz men of the crew of
the Muggia which struck the rocks
off Haichau Island on the Fukien
province coast and sank in heavy
fog.
Thirty-seven of the crew had been
rescued by a Chinese Junk. All of
the rescued were transferred to the
Libya.
Capt. Kaneko told the United
Press he had received an sos at
940 p. m. Monday. He steamed in
the direction from which the sos
had come. He found the wreckage
of the Muggia impaled on a reef
connecting Finger Rock and the is
land. Most of the crew had made
their Way to the island.
The Muggia formerly belonged to
the Austrian navy but was part of
the loot which fell to Italy after
the World War.
