 DOUBLE BILL AT PALACE TOMORROW

A combination of comedy experts conceived the humorous plot of Col leen Moore's newest picture, Syn thetic Sin" which opens Thursday at the Palace Theatre.
 Frederick and Fanny Hatton, rec ognized among the outstanding playwrights of the day, created the original story from which Tom J. Geraghty prepared the scenario.

played here recently, the reproduc- tion is technically and dramatically perfect. Gone are the flaws here tofore associated with other talk ing pictures. The Doctors Secret could not be improved upon at this stage of the game.
 Another feature of the film is the cast itself. Miss Chatterton, it will be recalled, was former Broad way star, and her dramatic stage experience makes her an ideal ac- tress for talking pictures H. 3. Warner also is former stage star, and his voice records in a convinc- ing manner. John Loder, the young British actor who makes his American debut in this picture, is also effective, as is Robert Edeson.
 The story is a tense drama of London society. In sharp dramatic contrasts, it shows to the audience the heights of happiness and de- spair that can come to one woman's life in half an hour. Throughout, the widest emotions are concealed behind the polite phrases of social intercourse.

NEW LONDON
 SPRINCINe UP,
 LANDMARKSG 50
British Metropolis Chang {, ing Rapidly Construc-
 ton Progresses
By PHILIP HEWITT-MYRING lAsseelasnd Press Staff Writerl

Associated Press Staff Writer)
 LONDON, Jan. IS. -- London is changing more rapidly today than at any time since the rebuilding that followed the Great Fire in 1666.
 Everywhere the old landmarks arc disappearing and new buildings springing up, to the great disgust of some who declare that London is losing her old charm; but to the delight of others who see in the new construction a promise of the most magnificent city on earth.
 Throughout 1929 Londoners fol- lowed with keen interest the pro- gress of Bush House which now, thanks to American enterprise, oc- cupies the Aldwych site that was for so long derelict
 The central portion of the build ing, which is London's nearest ap- preach to a sxyscraper, was com pleted some years ago; but work was delayed on the two great locks that form the wings. Now the main east wing is also com pleted, and on ether parts of the site new construction is springing up with almost American rapidity.
 New Hotel
 The other most spectacular de- velopment in 1929 took place in aristccratic Park Lane, of which the outward appearance has been completely changed by the fine ho- tel and apartment block that stands on the site of Devonshire House.
 Many Londoners warmly regret ted the disappearance of the old ducal mansion; and they had 8 1 further shock when demolition started of the most famous of all the Park Lane palaces-Dorches- ] ter House, which formed the Am erican Embassy in the days of Whitelaw Reid.
 But the principal and most sig nificant changes have not taken place in the great office buildings, hotels and theatres. They have come, rather, in the residential districts, where row after row of quiet Victorian dwellings have come under the housewrecker or have been converted. usually somewhat unsstisfactorily, into blocks of ] apartments
 In Residential Areas l These developments in the resi- I dsntial areas have reflected to a large extent change in the psy- chology of the Englishman who is rapidly becoming discontented with dirt and inconvenience and-helped to that end by the increasing se- riousness of the servant problem is demanding such commonplaces of American life as central heat ing plants and restaurants in great apartment blocks.
 The speculative builder has sensed this change of heart and has taken advantage of it. Indeed he has, in many cases, gone ahead little too rapidly with the result that many luxury flats" with rentals of $5,000 to s1o,o0O a year, which were expected to bring their own CTS handsome profit. stand half empty.

1 trology Is known as the House of Friends. It has been credited with the power to bring them grace and victory, to provide inspiration when, they need it. and otherwise to stim | ulate the Aquarian temperament which. in spite of its humanitar
 ian aspects. is inclined to be rath- CT cold and ispassionate-less in- terested in human beings than in the idea of humanity.
 The symbol of Aquarius is that of a man pouring water from ar urn. which is considered indicative of the tendency of people born un- der this sign to give all they can to the world. This tendency, which in undeveloped types leads to in- discriminate giving. in the more advanced types takes the form of imparting knowledge or of aiding and abetting movements for the benefit of mankind.
 Both Washington and Lincoln are good examples of the Aquarian type. and among our contemporar- les there are such well-known fig ures as Colonel Lindbergh, Thom- as Edison. Otto Kahn and John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Probably no man of this century has made more inn portant gifts to the world than Ed ison. while. of our flnanciers, the two mentioned are outstanding for their projects benefiting mankind In general rather than individuals.
 This cool. impersonal viewpoint Of the Aquarian. while giving him calm judgement and the most tenn pered common sense, is also apt to be his greatest defect, for there are sudden emergencies in life when deliberation is anything but an asset Washington, deliberat- Ing as to whether or not it would be wise to abandon New York to Lord Howe, wasted precious days and finally got his army out only py the greatest good luck.

Freight Rates on Water Provided

Washington, Aug.

Now they have all been forced to supply that long tol- erated deficiency in their schedules.
 Air still is out, but the new emer- gency rates the carriers have in stalled at President Hoover's urging provide a rate on water in train loads and carloads, and it is expect ed that before the sun gets through tormenting the population there will be a lot of water moved under the new arrangements

Springfield. Vt, Aug. IS (UP)- A dearth of evidence 10 substantiate a theory of murder caused investi- gators to admit today that the death of an unidentified young woman buried year ago in potters field at Chester might be officially recorded as a suicide.

 Following Mrs, Packard's reap pearance a year after her supposed death, the body buried at Chester was tentatively identified as that of one Anna Little. But next day Miss Little also was found to be alive and the victim of suicide or murder re mained unknown today.
