 King Nidor's Billy the Kid" opened at that showhouse last night. The directors splendid presenta- tion of the T year old character who became the most dangerous man of the vest during the sos is both good drama, and great lesson for youngsters Of the present day.
 John Mack Brown does a fine job as Billy, and Wallace Beery is eX- collent as Sheriff Pat Garrett, who is at one and the same time Billys nemesis and his greatest friend Others who score include Kay John- son as the heroine and Karl Dane in d comic role.
 After seeing Babe Daniels, Radio Pictures star, in Lawful Larceny" an all-talking drama, one wonders whether or not she is greater in singing roles than "straight" parts In either she is too delightful to miss.
 In this production, now at the Embassy theatcr, she appears in a new and charming role, that of a wife. With Miss Daniels as the wife" it is rather difficult to under stand why the husband falls" for another Woman-but that's part of the story, and it is most entertain ing one.

New York, Dec. 1I-Can q man be forced to pay with his life for f. crime committed while walking in his sleep? Michael Filosa, 2S year old Brooklyn sailor. will know his fate when he knows the answer to that question.
 Filosa is being held in jail in Brooklyn for the murder Of his !ialf-brother, Salvatore De Hall 16, and for seriously injuring his mother, Mrs. Anna De Hall, 49, and his half-sister, Catherine. 13.
 And while lawyers and alienists are declaring that the FiIosa case may prove one of the most baffling in court history and one of the most challenging of legal snarls, Michael. Gazed and sorroWful, sits in his prison cell and says:
 "I must have done at but I don't remember. If l did it l must have been asleep"
 What he does remember with ter rifying clarity is the gray haiflit bedroom of the Carlton avenue fiat; his mothers face, cut and blood stained; his mothers voice crying Mike! It's your Mother. Don't you know me-"

 Michael, wearing pajamas and barefoot stood beside her. Mrs. De Hall was clinging to his arm and the touch of her hand seemed to waken him. There was a blood stained razor in Michaers hand

 'Filosa could not have cone vna. he did if he were really asiasp," said Dr. Payne. He is suffering no;G from what We call crowd;ra Of consciousness, that is. he has bean able to put away all recollection of what he did.
 Too fine a coordination of mind, movement and hand is necessary for man to go from one room to an ether and stab three different people than would Je possible i'll the case of a person asleep. l do rot mean to say that t'ilosa premeditated what he did in the ordinary meaning Of the word premeditated. I believe. however, that he suffered a brain storm and was under some heavy emotional strain or stress.
 No Motive for Crime
 Assistant District Attorney Der nard Becker who questioned Filo- &a, said the case was frankly pug zling.
 No possible motive for such d crime has been uncovered" he said.
 50 far as we can learn Filosa has never quarreled with anyone ano has never been Tn trouble in his life. He has been a, steady worker, and on the best of terms with his mother and the younger children. Part of his earnings he has contributed 10 the upkeep of the home. We have no evidence that he has ever been anything but an entirely normal young man. There is no record of Filosa receiving any injury in the past that might have caused tem- porary mental derangement.'
 Neighbors in the Carlton avenue flat agree that Filosa has always seemed to be quiet, Well-mannered young man. If there has been any strife in the household no one was aware of it.
 The razor was one, long unused, that had been stored away in q medi- cine cabinet.
 Filosa is being held without bah awaiting the grand jury's hearing of the case.
