Woman Sorrows Friends Clothes
 As Husband Hides Her Own; Fined
Broad St. MatrOn Guilty of Theft of Garments From Neighbor Who Is III at Hospital.

Mrs. Stella Mieczkowski, 20, of PIG Broad street was found guilty in police court today of theft of cloth ing from neighbOr, Miss Mary Walicki, of the same address. The clothing was valued at $2345.
 Mrs. Mieczkowski was arrested last night by Detective Sergeant Patrick J. OMara after he had in vestigated a complaint by Miss Wa licki that two dresses and pair of shoes were stolen from her apart ment while she was patient at New Britain General hospital between November A and December $.
 Sergeant O'Mara testified that Mrs. Mieczkowski admitted the theft when he questioned her and said that she had taken the articles only after her husband with whom she was having trouble had taken all her clothing and hidden il.
 Miss Walicki also testified. She was not required by the court to take the witness stand but was all lowed to testify from her seat in the gallery because of the fact that she was still weak as a result of her operation. It was necessary for po- lice to carry her to and from the court room. She testified as to the value of the clothing. When asked if the clothes were worth S23 she answered that that was the pur- chase price of the articles.
 When Mrs. MieczkoWski took the stand she testified that she did not intend to steal the articles but meant 10 borrow them for a while after her husband had denied her the use of her own clothing. She said she did not think that Miss Walicki would mind her taking the garments as they were friendly. When asked by the court V hy she had removed the sleeves from one of the dresses she replied that she had removed one sleeve and that the other was al- ready out at the time.
 She said her husband told her she would get herself into trouble if she told about having borrowed the clothes and she did not return the articles because she did not get her own clothes until last Monday.
 Judge Traceski said he was thor oughly satisfied that she had not done the right thing and fined her $l0 and costs and ordered her placed on probation.

LEGGE FEARS DROP
 IN WHEAT PRICES
Says Distribution Of Grain Will
 Replace Other Supplies

Washington. Dec. II GP> --- Chair man Jegge. of the farm board Warn- ed the senate agricultural committee today enactment of the Capper res olution to distribute 100000 900 bushels of the grain stablization cor porations wheat for benefit of the unemployed might affect prices ad- verSely.
 Legge said the corporation, to maintain prices in event of such distribution, would have 10 buy back a large proportion of the amount de- voted to relief purposes.
 Tt would just replace so much wheat coming from other sources Of supply" he said.
 He pointed out the domestic price was now approximately 2o cents above the world price and to naln- tain that level the board would have to bear the burden of carrying d large portion of the surplus.
 While welcoming any means of getting rid" of the wheat holdings, Legge said from the standpoint oi relieving the suffering, there was question whether providing one food commodity would be as helpful as general supply of all things needed.

GRETA CAIRO AT STRAND

Greta Garbo's long heralded first all-talking picture, Anna Christie, ' adapted from the celebrated play by Eugene O'Neill, opened at the Strand theater last night for four days and fulfilled all expectations. Miss Gar bo's voice is not only suited admira- bly to the role of the Swedish farm girl but gives every indication of being rich and pliant enough to be adequate for any role which she may be called upon to play in the future. The much discussed Garbo accent is so slight as to only make her speech the more interesting.
 In Anna Christie" Miss Garbo gives a brilliant performance as the simple and tragic heroine of O'Neill's moving drama.
 The work of the supporting cast is equally proficient. George Marion players the father role with the same feryor and intensity with which he created the original stage role and later played the part in the silent picture made several years ago; Marie Drcssler, as the tipplcr 1 Marthy, gives a superb characteriza- | ton far removed from her previous comedy roles; Charles Bickford, as
 Matt, Anna's lover, gives a sterling
 performance.
 On Thursday Dorothy MackailI
 will be offered in ''Strictly Modern ''
 a First National Vitaphone hit. An
 excellent bill of vaudeville will be
 offered in conjunction.

"NOAH'S ARK AT NEW PALACE

In keeping with the spirit of lent the New Palace theater have brought back the most spectacular picture ever shown on the silver screen "Noah's Ark which will show tomorrow and Wednesday.
 This stupendous spectacle, which includes more than ten thousand in the cast, was over three years in the making. Nitaphone is used for symphonic accompaniment. for sounds and for the voices of play ers-the grandeur of the effect can be imagined from the fact that the play covers the most dramatic mo- ments in the span of fifty centuries the modern story having to do with the period of the World War and the ancient sequences portray ing scenes of the building of the heather gods-the world deva stat ing Flood-and the building of the Ark.
 The characters play their parts in the soul-trying moments at the be- ginning of the twentieth century and are waited back to the days of Noah--to vast scenes Of heathen debauchery-to the building Of the Ark-the dark terror Of rising Watcrs-which destroyed all but the family of the patriarch. Sets cover- ing more than q square mile were necessary to the production.
