THEATER Is ROBBED
OF $11,15O RECEIPTS
Hold-up of New York Movie House
Occurs During Show-An
Patrons Inspected.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 29.-While
hundreds of patrons chuekled over the
rustic adventures of Tom Sawyer" a
beardless youth put q gun on the treas
urer of the Paramount Theater early
today and Strolled away from Times
Square with the weekend. receipts of
SI1,150. -. ~
A few minutes later uniformed po-
licemen and detectives surrounded
the building, guarded every exit and
scanned every person as he emerged
from the theater. The youth escaped,
either by descending a fire escape on
the Forty-fourth street side or by
passing out through the Paramount
Building proper on. F0rty-third street.
He walked into an elevator and di-
rected the operator at pistol point to
take him TO the treaSurer's office On
the way up he fastened small mask
to his face.
At the Office the youth pushed the
operator ahead OF him through the
door. Then he lined Eli Dreyiinger,
the treasurer, and the elevator boy
against the wall.
THAT all the dough you got?" he
demanded.
yves" replied Dreylnger.
''All right. Wrap it up" ordered the
bandit producing brown paper and
twine.
With the package under his arm, he
warned his victims against leaving by
q secret door known only to officials,
and told them confederates were wait
ing outside Then he stepped into the
elevator by which he came, ran it to
the sixth floor and was not seen again.

a head of cabbage 81, apples 81 pound.
Despite the high charges crowds of
eager purchasers may be seen about
the stores. 1t is somewhat of a mystery
where the money is coming from, but
apparently the outcast classes still have
some funds and jewels concealed. while
many receive money from friends and
relatives abroad.
AS high as are the prices they are
lower than those of the fast disap-
pearing modern Russian private trader
and apparently he soon win be forced
out of business. The presumption here
is that the government feels if there is
money to be made in this private trad
ing with the outcast classes the gov
eminent might as well profit as the
traders, whom it has always frowned
upon.

COAST OPENS DRIVE.
ON SEA GAMBLING.
Raids on Two Ships Off
Southern California Net
Score of Men.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, December 29.-Spec-
tacular raids on two gambling ShlpS
anchored off Southern California are
said by District Attorney Byron Fits
to constitute a declaration OF war on
gaming outside the three-mile limit.
AS a result of raids Friday and Sat-
urday nights more than score of men
accused OF gambling or conspiracy to
recruit patrons for gambling establish
mentS were in jail.
The Johanna Smith and the Rose Isle,
both of which once piled the seven
seas, are the objects of Fits campaign.
They have been operating more than
two years and Staving OFF official at
tempts to put them out OF business
with claims that their anchorage more
than three miles at sea places them
outside the jurisdiction OF California
courts.
Issue Referred to Courts.
The question of jurisdiction, Fits
said. would be left to the courts.
IF the present charges are not al
lowed" he said, "others will be found,
and we will continue to haraSs the
operators until they move away or
give up"
Determination to fight the gambling
barges was announced after investi-
2aIOlS
decks were protected by machine guns
mounted in iron cages.
"They are a rendezvous of thugs and
hoodlums," Fits charged. He said the
kidnapping of E. l.. (Zeke) CaresS, Los
Angeles gambler. was connected with
an attempt of gangsterS to muscle in
on the gambling ship racket"
Operators Show Resistance.
The operators of the Johanna Smith
told the deputies who boarded her Fri
day night they would resist efforts to
interfere. Seven men were taken OF
the Rose Isle, however.
Saturday night 40 officers returned to
the Johanna Smith, took temporary
charge and sent ashore several hun
dred fashionably dressed men and wom-
en- who were found crowulng about
gaming tables. None of the patrons
was arrested, but musicians and deal
ers employed on the vessel were held.
The Caress kidnapping preceded a gun
fight in Long Beach between officers
and three men believed to have been
waiting for boat to take them to one
Of the gambling ships. One policeman
was wounded.
Former HOOdlum Held on Charges.
Ralph Sheldon, former Chicago
hoodlum, is being held on charges OF
assault with intent to commit murder.
Checks given by Caress, allegedly tor
ransom, were found in the automobile
of the alleged gangsters after the fight.
Police last night patrolled the docks
from which taxis depart for the Jo-
hanna Smith, but no PATROLS appeared
and no arrests were made. The Rose
Isle, in the meantime, did a rushing
business. Fits said as soon as the
Johanna Smith situation had been
cleared up he would begin an intensive
campaign against the Rose Isle.
The two ships shifted anchorage yes-
terday to positions further out to sea.

LONDON.-One Of the most impor-
tant events of the beginning of the
Autumn theatrical season was the open
ing OF the new Cambridge Theater in
Seven Dials with "Charlot's Masque-
rade," revue which has brought Bea-
tr1ce Lille back to London again.
The new theater compares favorably
with the Pigalle in Paris, and its inte-
Tior decoration is altogether charming.
The interior is horeshoe-shaped, with
vertical walls sweeping up in unbroken
bands to the elliptical ceiling. The
general color scheme Is provided by
metal leaf surfacing, stippled and
sprayed in contracting shades, like the
pile on velvet, and giving a harmony of
coppery browns and Colds.
The seats are the most comfortable
in London, and every other one is pro-
vided with q tiny electric light, which
enables its occupant to study his pro-
gram without annoying his neighbOrs.
The walls OF the entrance, hall, foyers,
cloak rooms and Offices are painted in
tones that range from flesh pink,
shrimp pink and peach pink to blush
pink, putty beige and the pale mauve
and pale green that are popular now for
night makeup.
The theater seats 1900 persons, and
can be used either for stage plays or

ADR|ANOPLE'S WIND
ADDS TO DISASTERS
important Turkish CONNER
CiaI Center Has Known Many
Distress Periods.

1.-THE destructive wind which recently
left Adrianoples windows without glass,
leveled buildings, and toppled lofty
minarets, adds another, If minor, dis
aster to the history of the venerable
city" says bulletin from the National
Geographic Society.
Since Hadrian rebuilt the city in the
second century, Adrianople has risen to
enyious heights among Turkish cities
in commercial Importance. 1t also has
been engulfed in periods of distress.
A City of the East.
1.-THE city lies on the banks of the
Maritsa and Tunja Rivers, 1877 miles
northwest of Constantinople, on the
railroad which connects the famous old
Turkish capital with Belgrade, Sofia
and Saloniki. Commerce that passed
between the Balkans and other portions
of Europe and Turkey made Adrianople
great market and distributing point.
Tariff barriers set up by the Balkan
states and emigration of the city'S pop
ulation-the Turks eastward and the
Greeks westward-haYe been charged
with the more recent depression of the
citys commercial Importance.
If visitors to Adrianople were I'M
aware of its location on the map, q
tour of the city would lead them to
believe that they were east of the Bos-
porus, for a marked Oriental atmos-
phere prevails Caravans arrive as they
do in Damascus; dusty, ruddy-skinned
camel men mingle with the street
crowds, peering into windows where a
colorful array of Oriental carpets,
shawls, bric-a-brac and other Eastern
merchandise predominates; lofty cypress
trees poke their uppermost limbs above
the conglomeration of red roofs, and
mosque domes dominate the irregular
skyline much as they do in Brusa, while
muezzins call the faithful Moslems to
prayer from tall white minarets which
point fingerlike to the sky.
Commercial Glamour Gone.
"As one peers into Adrianople shops,
guides decry the fact that their city is
not what it once was. Before the World
War, they will tell the visitor, Adrian
ople shops displayed handsome pieces
of Austrian crockery, artistic German
iron pieces, fancy French jewelry, and
English textiles. And during a shopping
tour, the tones of an American phono-
graph competed with the loud pickering
Of shopkeeperS and purchasers, and the
boisterous calls of the street vendors.
Although the city now is quieter, its
population has diminished from IS 900
to 5000 since 1905, and things Turkish
appear to be moving eastward, Adrian
ople continues to hang on to a certain
commercial prestige. Raw silk from
nearby mulberry tree plantations cot
ton opium, rosewater, altar of roses,
wax, and Turkey red dye are exported,
and the city still has pride in fine
wines produced from grapes from neigh
boring vineyards.
"Adrianopls came into its own in
1861, when Murad II took residence
there, and for century it remained
the seat of Turkish Sultans. Then Con-
stantinople fell and Adrianople was
shorn of its political Importance. Bull
garians, Turks and Greeks have all had
a hand in governing the city from time
to time since 1918, but In 1929 it was
returned to Turkey"

golden sovereigns in a special state
purse, the date of the coins commem-
Grating the year of the princess birth.
Like Princess Elizabeth. the new baby

christening veil, which has been used
for generations in the royal family.

turtles, in Owners Palace.

VIENNA Especially The Hapsburgs
are far away from their palace at
Schoenbrunn, but their apes are still
there The apehouse, in act, has grown
too small for the simianS who once
amused Emperor Franz Joseph and later
Carl and Zita. and it is to be replaced
now with a modern, steam-heated, we'll
ventilated structure. 1t will even be
equipped with baths, something that the
palace itself for centuries lacked.
A feature of the new apehouse will
be a mirror arrangement permitting the
exhibition OF the more nervous types of
apes to the public indirectly instead of
directly. Thus the self-conscious ami
mails will be able to be seen in their
natural behavior by visitors, and the
inhabitants will not suffer from stage
fright or bashiulness, as at present.
