Another Master Mystery By ARTHUR HOERL
Advice to LOvelOrn
BY Beatrice Fairfax

overwhelming they never seem
TO realize they're playing into
the enemy's hands. They're
proud before they are just
fonest-or sensible. She's asked
for my advice--it Is to stay
put" and not to aid and abet
her husband in his middle-aged
madness.
Later on, when he RECEIVERS
part Of his senses, looks about,
and see the plight Of other
middle-aged men who've tried
the primrose path, he's very
likely to thank her.
The case Of this gentleman
is not at all unusual. Why
does the candle flare and have
one grand splutter before it
goes out?
Stopl Look! Listen! Danger
ahead when middle-aged man
goes in for wild neckties, hat
bands. socks, and insists he
never felt younger in his life, /"
drop a tear for that victim of
the worlds worst deluSion-old
age is starting its strangle hold.
The next step is likely to be
the vamp who, even as the old
fashioned devil, "goes about
seeking whom he may devour." !"
Not one middle-aged wife in
q hundred can come back and
earn enough to rear a family Of
children, after she has given
Is or 20 years Of her life to
the job Of home-maker.
Furthermore, the world doesn't
wait for the middle-aged wo-
man, the jobs are snapped up
by girls and boys just out Of
college or high school. They
may be less competent, less
industrious, and given to rails
ing. the mischief in the marts
Of trade, but there they are,
my dear woman. This is the
age Of youth and the lip
stick.
Think how many sports suits
you'd have to make to bring up
those five children with any de-
gree Of comfort and happiness.
Suppose you're granted ali
mony, aren't the jailS over
flowing with "Alirnony Clubs?
Some gentlemen prefer jail to
paying q matrimonial dole.
AS to the friends who are
advising you to leave him, what
practical help are they pre-
pared to give? II wouldn't
stand it a minute" is all
. right, but how many parsnips
does it butter?
And, my dear woman, the
essential question, the pivotal
point Of your whole problem
is, those five minor children
who have still to be educated,
and fitted for life. Their futures
should not be jeopardized that
a gentleman Of so might fall
a victim to the wiles Of %.
Stay in the home you helped
to earn, wait for the crisis Of
your husbands mental afflic-
ton to paSs-and I beg Of
you to be patient and don't
nag.

 Closer to Working Glass.

Moscow, Nov. "l OP)-Russian literature, which was lifted to world wide artistic prestige by such writ CTS as pushkin. Tolstoy, Tchekov and Dostoievsky, is henceworth to be controlled by Soviet factory workers.
 A new form of censorship just getting under way provides that ali writers shall come under the pa tronage' of various factories throughout the republic. The fac tory personnel in each case must pass on all literary work, large or small, in their meetings.
 Leaders of the left wing of the literary craft here, calling them- selves proetarian writers, hail this development enthusiastically as drawing the artists closer 10 work ing class realities.
 The vast majority of writers, how ever, seem dismayed by this addi- tonal censorship, claiming that the factory workers are not yet cultural lv ripe enough to judge works of art

New England Council Division ReneWs Pledge Of Loyalty

Boston, Nov. 21 (UP)-The pro- posal that Connecticut sever itself industrially from the rest of New England appeared quashed today as result of resolution passed last night 1t the state dinner of the Connecticut division of the New England Council in conference here at Hotel Statler.
 Thestate councils resolution reaf- frmed fits endorsement of and al- legiance to the principles of the New England Council and pledged its support to them.

 E. Kent Hubbard. president Of the Connecticut Manufacturers associa- ton, said recently that Connecti- cuts economic and industrial in terests were bound up more closely with those of New York than New England.

EMBASSY THEATER

In entertainment, wicked people are always more interesting than good ones. One may have d sus- picion that this is even true in life: but on the screen it is an obvious fact Perhaps audiences are affllct- ed with uneasy consciences, and are easily attracted to the careers Of wicked heroes and heroines, hoping thereby to rescue thmselves, with the information thus gleaned from the pitfalls of their own natures.
 Tn motion pictures, this is eXem- plifed by the popularity of the crook play. Except in the case of the eX- plorer and the soldier, romance and daring have departed from modern life The practical business Of to- days civilization leaves little room

And it is with some relief that those who are associated with the production Of the Fox Movietone drama, Scotland Yard" which opens tomorrow at the Capi- tol theater, have found themselves and those who are pitted against him must exercise an ingenuity that the more open guerilla warfare of the American criminal scene does not require

DAUGHTER OF SENATOR
 FROM MIDWEST QU1ZZEI

Now you know what This is New York" which had it's premiere at Parsons theater in Hartford last night, is like.
 It is a picture of Mad Manhattan, colorful racketeering Manhattan, seen through the eyes of tabloid edi- tors, reporters and cameramen.
 It is a bold, sardonic, smart play written by Robert E. Sherwood, for Arthur Hopkins. Playing in the leading female role is Lois Moran, the darling of a hundred or more motion pictures.
 This is New York" is as fresh as a newspaper that comes off the press with the ink still damp. In every respect it is right up to the moment. The lightning of the authors sar- casm flashes at the president and at the recent judiciary scandals in New York. The lines crackle and boom.
 Senator krull of North Dakota and his wife, both of whom despise New York city, are in the metropolis where the senator is to deliver an address at the annual banquet of the Sons of the Midwest association. Their daughter. Emma, who has been reared in Washington, does not share their antipathy for the effete east, and becomes engaged to Jo- seph Gresham, Jr., scion of wealth, whose esca pades have attached more or less notoriety to his name. The senator and Mrs. Krull are shocked at the proposed alliance. Krull be- lieves that 1t will destroy his chance for reelection in his district which regards New York and all it's in habtants as children of the neither regions.
 Before the wedding can take place, Gresham finds it necessary to buy off Phyllis Adrain, chorus lady whom he is maintaining in an elaborate apartment on Central Park West. She wants s100,000. He cannot raise the money. Emma Krull visits her apartment. not to plead but to become acquainted. A dope crazed woman on the floor above goes to her death out the window. There is a police investigation and Miss krulls name is brought into it. The coroner returns a finding of suicide instead of murder, but the damage has been done. The tabloids play up the yarn. Then there is happy ending.
 Miss Moran plays her role quiet ly and effectively without resorting to heroics. Robert T. Haines pro- vides a likeness of midwest senator which squares with popular concep- ton. Audray Dale has what actors call the fat part and does it with
