EXPERT'LAUDS
BIG HOUSE,
AS REAL
By FRANCIS J. TIETSORT
Famous Investigator of Prisons and
PenalOkist

PemalOK1st
Those familiar with Americas
prison system and it's workings
will see THE Big House" at the
Columbia Theater and gasp at its
artistic realism and truth-telling.
It is an authenticated document.
For the first time on either stage
or screen, it shows the bitter
grimness of what the overcrowd-
ing of the country's greatest peni-
tentiaries means.
But millions of the general pub
lie, unfamiliar with the subject,
will go to see this colossal Cos
mopolitan production, just re-
leased by Metro o-Goldwyn-M Mayer,
and demand to know what is
going to be done about the under
lying causes for the appalling con-
ditions it so faithfully depicts.
May Bring Action
"The Big House" is not just
another film. It is more, too,
than highly informative entertain
ment and a rare display Of acting
previously unapproached on the
screen. Perhaps, unConSciouSly, it
is q tremendous crusade which
, will rouse every State legislature
In the land to effective action.
At any rate, that was my
mental reaction to it after I had
breathlesSly absorbed its swiftly
moving and tense sweep through
the entire gamut Of ones emo
tions. THE Big House" is dia-
logue drama of prison riots. 1t
doesn't deal in fanciful theories,
but in stern facts. It's director,
George Hill, has done a mastery
lob of reporting
The picture tells in It's own
compass, both by word and &C
tion, what have been some of the
causes of the fearful uprisings in
American prisons in the last two
years. With an indicated back
ground of the direct and indirect
effects of prohibition and its
racketeer killers, the film takes
up the story of what has hap
pened behind the lofty concrete
outer walls and in the towering
cell blocks of what might be
Auburn or Clinton in New York
State, or Folsom in California.
Praise For Beery
It has been the journalistic
duty of this writer over a period
covering q generation to conduct
firSt-hand investigations of num-
erous famouS-or infamous
prisons. Among them were the
antiquated Detroit House of Cor.
rection, jackson and Marquette
prisons, in Michigan: San Quen-
tin, in California; Canyon City,
In Colorado, and Moyamensing in
Pennsylvania, all at times mis-
managed hell holes of inquity
and cruelty.
Within only the last six weeks
I made investigation of Clinton,
Auburn, Great Meadow and Sing
Sing in New York State. My ex
periences led me to believe that If
Wallace Beering, as Butch in
'"The Big House." had led person
ally the tragic outbreaks up at
Dannemora and Auburn, his per-
formance in the role of the leader
of the convict uprising could not
have been more perfectly convinc-
ing in its stark artistry. 1t is one
of the most powerful pieces Of att
ing of any description ever seen
on either stage or screen.

CORN YIELD IS CUT
BY LONG DROUGHT
Government Estimates Show
25O,OOO,O OO- BusheI Re-
duction in August.

BY the Associated Press.
The soaring hand of the drought was
indicated by Government estimates to-
day to have reduced the prospective
corn yield almost 25O,Ooo,ooo bushels
in II important producing States dur
ing August.
The outlook for the whole country is
for harvest of crop some SOC, 100000
busheI- less than the 1929 production
of 2,614,30 900 bushels.
The dry August blow fell heaviest in
Iowa, where, in that month, the crop
lost 100000 bushels, as compared
with the August forecast. Illinois lost
38 ,OO0, 900 and Missouri, 28,000,000.
In Nebraska alone was there an in
crease over the August prediction, the
indicated yield there increasing 33,000,-
600 bushels. Kansas held its own.
The other States figuring in the ESQ.,
100000 reduction during August were
New York, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan,
Wisconsin. Minnesota, North and South
Dakota, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Texas
and Colorado.
For all of the country, IS States
showed varying degrees of loss COM
pared with the 1929 production, and Is
States, none of them in the important
corn area, showed increases.
Losses were most severe in Arkansas,
where the estimated crop of 1852 600
bushels is only about one-fourth the
1929 production and one-fifth the
average. Less than half normal corn
crop is indicated for Kentucky and
West Virginia Crops of slightly more
than so per cent Of average are indi-

c. G. league, member of the Fed

no doubt another substantial appropri-
alton for the board would be asked of
the next Congress.
Appropriations from the $500,000 900
revolving fund already amount to
$3.50, 100000.
The use of Farm Board money to help
relieve the drought situation, league
said, probably would be an important
factor in creating the need for the ad-
ditional appropriation.
The drought, he said. eliminated the
usual wheat surplus. The total wheat
yield was expected to be only 837, 000,-
