n powerfully uEGk1AUlC SbOTy
in the French type Of triangu.
lar romance has been cleverly
contrived by Playwright Louis
Verneuil and adapted by Eu-
gene Walter. His narrative is
interesting, 1t progresses
through a smooth flow Of
dialogue and suspenseful
action to logical climaxes,
and it has the added blessing
Of being beautifully acted by
competent players.
Sordid indeed and somber,
are these chapters in the lives
of Maurice and Valerie. Jeal-
ousy enters on their wedding
night. Maurice has had his
love affairs and Valerie comes
as bride not unstained, but
processing determination to
go straight and find content
ment in a husbands affections.
Into this domestic scene the
name Of M. Lambertier pro
trudeS. He has been guardian
and protector Of Valerie and
financial sponsor for her mo-
diSte business. But nothing
else she tells her husband
whose suspicious are constant
and violent.
These suspicious become q
daily torment, fed by his wife's
deceit and evasions. Maurice
imagines the worst until it be-
comes an obseSsion that Valerie
Is sharing her affections with
his rival. In a moment Of rage
he confroI1tS Lambertier and
maddened by his SNUG indif-
ference strangles Valerie's bene-
factor. The final curtain de-
sends upon the slayer, crazed
by a troubled conscience, de-
livering himself to be guillo-
tined.
Now all of this is told in
language that is frank and
sometimes shockingly blunt.
The commercial prostitute car
riers a label that is either
whispered or ignored in polite
circles but Playwright Varneuil
scores a subterfuge for the
direct method. 1t puts he
play at once in the category
of impolite but revealing
drama.
Fay Banter shoulders a
three act ordeal that constr
tutes a real test for finished
actress. The demands for
varied emotions are many and
exacting. She must be bot.1
adroit and coy in conceaiinS
her fears, sincere In her DEM
onstrationS of affection, men
tally torn and troubled by her
enforced trickery. / think 1t
is a powerful tribute to her
histrionic talent that the per-
Torrance revealed was so NOV

throughout. There was the
added asset of convincing sup
port from Melvyn Douglas, an
actor whose expressions en-

Earle Theater offers it rs Big
Picture No. Q with Richard
BarthelmeSs starred.
Intelligently presented, nicely
II undistinctively written and
photographed, 1t is notable for
its sustained mood, for its quail
ity of tenderness and for the
performance of its leading
player.
When the magistrate and the
apartment owner heard the
story they agreed there should
be no prosecution and no pun.
ishment. And then, as a last
minute sop. Bert Roach,
who had performed amusing
ly as a rich drunk in the SAME
apartment house. agreed to
act as, protectorate.
The given story is projected
in fulSome illusion. 1t moves
easily, if bit slowly, through
its small pathway. It has charm
and a certain pathoS. and the
transitions are unnoticeable.
OF course it is slender, and, Of
course, the writings main vir-
tue is it's simplicity rather than
it's worth in literature-for it
has very little of that worth.
But barring certain overly
sentimental note at the end,
most of it is good talking pic
ture fare.
There are no choruSeS, theme
songs, Technicolor SplurgeS or
Spectacles-it is rather meri-
torious little offering just the
same.
Mr.. Barthelmess, indeed,
should be grateful for the
much-maligned talking films.
Each of his performances has
had that extra quality that
, everybody in the theater aims
for. This is his best. AS q
dumb young elevator boy who
seeks and attempts to snatch
those brief moments of ease
and ectasy which circumstances,
his own limitations and every.
body in the world seem bent
on denying him, he brings q
new quality to his playing.
There is no reaching for sym.
pathy. He let's his dumbnesS,
his helpleSSness speak for
themselves. His protective atti-
tude toward the girl who came
to clean one of the rooms in
the lacquered apartment house
is projected easily, knowingly;
his acting is real in every way.
Marian Nixon, too, is a poig-
nant little figure as the girl
the girl who, living in a
furnished room in Brooklyn,
had helped him save SIS i'll
three months from the mite of
wages the two received from
the owners of the apartm 9nt
house. They could never be
alone, YOU see. In Central
: Park they are showed off the
grass. The night they had off
together it rained. She had
no rubbers and caught pneu-
monia. Finally she got well.
He took her to the, apartment
OF the plutocrat-which he had
been cleaning during his
abSenCe-gaVe her a WraDoer
and hearty meal. And as they
sat harmleSsly before the fire
he had built the owner entered.
Get that dirty little out
OF here!" he had said to the
boy just before he Sprang at
him. Then he called the police.
Vitaphone shorts and an or
chestral interlude by the Brees-
kin musicians, featuring
KreiSler melodies, complete the
program.

Courts Again Show
Enmity tor Foreign Born

BOSTON, Mass, April l.
Massachusetts courts, made famous
by the murder of Sacco and Van
zetti in 1927, has again proved their
rabid enmity toward the foreign
born. Two separate courts, tho with
the same judge presiding at each,
have convicted two separate men,
on the basis of the same exhibit of
revolver and bullet, of numbering
a man who was killed by single
shot from a single murderer.
Convict, of Course.
Cangi Cero, a young Italian was
convicted Nov. 1928 of being the
sole murderer of Joseph Fantasia
and sentenced to death. Before he
could be executed, the courts, al
ways anxious to convict anyone
foreign-born, found Samuel Gallo
guilty of being the sole murderer
of Fantasia. The latter verdict was
reached on March %.
The only way out Massachusetts
justice can now see, is to try both
men over again, together this time,
and let jury pick on one of them
for electrocution. Evidence is weak
against both.

HOUSE WRECKERS
GO ON STRIKE
Demand Raise, Help
Drivers Organize

The entire membership of the
House Wreckers' Union, Local 95 of
the Hold Carriers and Laborers' In
ternational, went out on strike yes
terday in answer to the general
strike call of their union.
A mass meeting held last night
in Manhattan Lyceum, 66 East 4th
ST., yesterday showed them as de-
termined to stay out till their de-
mands were won.
The demands of the workers are
an increase of 10 cents an hour, for
bar workers and laborers, and for
the right of the truck chauffeurs to
organize themselves into a union.
The militancy of this unions
membership is especially noteworthy
when it becomes known that their
bosses were ready to concede the
wage increases they asked, but
were ordered by the bosses to re-
frain from helping the chauffeurs
organize. The wage grant was
spurned by the workers who insist
ed on the right to help the drivers
form a union of their own.
The wages of barmen is now SIPS
II hour and that of the laborers,
S1.15 an hour.

Johnson Joins i'm
World Court Fight

WASHINGTON, April 1.-Sena-
tor Hiram johnson of California
has added himself to the group of
anti-Root plan senators who will
fight the entry of the U. S. into the
world court on the basis of the pro-
gram worked out in Geneva by Root,
and it is understood, endorsed by
Morgan and therefore by Hoover.
johnson, in his statement today,
takes the line already marked out
by Senator Borah and others, that
the U. S., once in the court, cannot
take advantage of the Root provi-
sion for withdrawing, if a case in
which American interests are con-
cerned, because that would, under
the present plan, dissolve the court,
and place U. S. at moral d6sad-
vantage among neutral nations in
the war that would probably follow.

Harvey Extends Spells
System Throughout

Borough President George U.
Harvey yesterday continued his an
nounced plan to institute the spo'ls
system in all its details in his
Queens borough government. "Out
they go, he announced dramatically
yesterday, referring to all followers
Of the rival republican machine oper-
ated by Joseph De Bragga, and then,
just to rub it in, the first man he
discharged was Frank De BragGa,
brother of the republican boss.
Frank De Bragga had only $25
q week job, as corporation inspector,
but then, as there wasn't any work
connected with the job, and plenty
of opportunity to meet "a nice cl'ss
of people" who might be kindly in
the way of stock market tips, etc,
to a young inspector who maybe
could make trouble for businessmen
who were not running any too close
to the law, it is something, at that.
To Fire so More.
Harvey announced that about fifty
more De Bragga henchmen were to
follow the straight line out the front
door right away Twenty Of these
are also corporation inspectors. In
Queens, that's the way you build a
political machine. Now Harvey will
build his. There are a lot of people
who will be good partisans of
Harvey, or anybody else who wants
to make them corporation inspectors.
The actual managing of the
Harvey machine, Harvey has al
ready announced, will be done by
