The proposed laws provide that
possession of betting paraphernalia

telegraph would be violations of the
law, each punishable with maximum
penalties of $500 and six months in

Councilman Maurice Tenant of

want to be heard, which is only
fair"

CRIME REPORT
Modification Proposals by

BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-Those
in the highest authority here ex-
pect the Wickersham crime commits
sion ito make a prohibition report
shortly which may not be entirely
acceptable to some dry organiza-
tons.
The document will be drafted
when the commission resumes its
secret sessions here Nov. 5, the day
after election. It is to be sent to
President Hoover, probably about
Nov. Is, and may be forwarded by
him to congress in December.
Portions of the report already
have been agreed upon. The COM
mission has decided there will be
no "pussy-footing or lodging" in
its summary of its investigations
and in it's recommendations. The
prohibition issue will be met frankly,
it is said, and in a way which may
not meet the approval of those who
have been championing the dry act.

Modification proposals may be
entertained, but repeal suggestions
will not be mentioned, according 70
authoritative sources. The commits

sumption its chief duty was to find
out what is wrong, if anything, with
the law as well as enforcement.
The matter Of prohibition very
thoroughly has been thrashed out
among the commissioners, and has
caused at least one member to offer
his Signation-Federal Judge Will

Van Dine murder cases at the Strand theater, starting sunday for 4 days "The Benson Murder Case" is the latest mystery to en- gage the attention of the film fam ous sleuth.
 With the murder of Anthony Ben son in his mountain hunting lodge, Philo Vance is presented with the most baffling crime of his career. And F. H. Calvert, as Assistant Attor- ney Markham, is frantic as election hears without any apparent solution for the crime. Markham is inclined to accept the way out suggested by the laundering Heath. but Vance pleads for time to uncover the cor rect clues.
 Benson, the murdered man. was a stock broker and man-about-town. He was equally ruthless in his busi- ness and social dealings. selling ouS his friends on the market, holding his women friends by threats of eA- posins their secrets. He laughed at their frantic turning and twisting when he held the strings. He re- fused to release them from their tormenting positions, remaining un- moved by pleas dr threats of death.

BLAZE O' GLORY
 MUSICAL DRAMA
Eddie DoWlinS'S New Starring
 Picture at Capitol Theater

Through the astute direction of Renaud Hoffman and George J.. Crome, and the artistic performance of Eddie Bowling in Blaze O'Glory' which opened at the Warmers Capitol theater today. here is something 10 which Sono Art, the producers, can well point with pride as worthy successor to Mr. DowlinS's well-likcd vehicle of last season, The Rainbow Man"
 The offering is an intelligent and beguilinG piece of work about the effect Of war on it's characters, and it is also endowed with the pres cnce of Betty Compson of happy mem ory, Henry B. Walthall, whose presence always adds to a play or picture, Frankie Darro as capable a youncster as there is on the screen, and others whose names are not so noteworthy but who are effective in dramatic roles.
 This IS not an ordinary motion picture. It is a musical -drama-if ' a divertinG story in which melody runs close race with dancing and dramatics. The producers have given the production lavish investure with scenes that run from the stage of a thcater to the trenches of the late war. Yet it is not a war story; rather the effect war has on people

 Tictionsmiths whose imaginations race at top speed have toyed with the idea of reversing the direction of sound, thus bringing back to earth the noises which have left this globe through the ages of it's
 existence. Play writers have made
 such procedure for the drama un- necessary. Up goes the curtain, for example, as it did last night at Par sons theater, and the audience is transported back 155 years on the magic fancy of Richard Brinslcy Shcridan-back to England where women wore sweeping skirts, at tempted 10 be dcmurc and said 'Heigh, ho' to express sorrow in their hearts; back to England where men wore lace cuffs. carried swords and swore Odds bodllins'' or odds
 pistols and bullets"
 It's all very amusing, this revival of The Rivals by Mrs. Fiskc and
 her company. The play was pro- duced originally at CoVent Garden, London, on January 17, 1775, when the young American nation was in
 it's swaddling clothes. Joseph Jeff
 ferson, appearing in the role of Bob Acres sponsored a tour by an all star cast in May, 1896. Then Mrs Ilskc. to mark the 150th anniver- sary of the play in 1925, toured the country as Mrs. Malaprop. Her con- pany now at Parsons includes sev- eral members of that anniversary troupe and has been strengthened in other characters.
 Mrs. Fislle continues 10 give the part of Mrs. Malaprop that same ebulllent spirit. Her grace and dash
 compel admiration while the lines of Mrs. Malaprop compel infectious laughter.
 John Craig and Rollo Peters give exactly the type of performances you would expect from John Craig, and Rollo Peters in their portrayals
 of Sir Anthony Absolute and Cap tain Jack Absolute. James T. Pow
 CTS. again as he has been before, is the acme of all desirable quail ties as Bob Acres. If this praise seems eXtravasant, a visit to Par sons theater will prove the truth of it. George Tawde lifts a charac- ,ter by it's bootstraps out of the or dinary into the extra ordinary. An drew Mack-the Andrew Mack gives a robust and polished inter-
 pretation of that sly and jolly rogue, Sir Lucius O'Trigger. Pedro
 de Cordoba brings 10 life that love-
 sick swain. torn with jealous emo- tiOnS, Faulkland.
 Margery Maudc, Betty Linley and
 Goorsette Conan bring an air of realism to their roles as three young women of that period,

 stops at the leading cities.
