SEARCH HULK FOR
 BODY OF VICTIM Thames May Account for One ol
 Missing Sailors

Bridgeport, April 2S (UP)-The still smouldering ruin of the freight CT Thames. which caught fire and was abandoned in Long Island Sound Thursday night with loss of 16 lives, was to be searched today for bodies.
 Although most of the 16 were be- lieved to have gone down with the swamping of the freighter's two .ifeboats, company officials believed one might have lost his life in the fire which swept the vessel as it steamed from New York to Bridge port.
 John J. McNamara of Tiverton. R. l., apprentice engineer, was said to have stuck to the blazing vessel as it ploughed toward shore and struck a reef, preferring to take a chance in the surf rather than trust his life to a heavily loaded lifeboat.
 Thames River line officials and inspectors of the National Board of Fire Underwriters surveyed the hulk, lying off Sound Beach, Stam- ford, Sunday.
 An investigation 10 determine the responsibility will be started by the United States Steamboat Inspection Service at New Haven Wednesday.

AT THE CAPITOL

When a stage production is rcn- dered upon the audible screen it is natural to draw a comparison. But in the case of The Nagabond King" which opened at the Capitol theater Saturday. comparison is a paltry means of expressing the glamourous wondcrment of this marvellous screen version.
 In fact, the film adaptation is so far superior in thrills and sheer beauty that there is no comparing it with the original beautiful as the original was.
 Dennis King. as the master of the sword, the leader of the vagabonds, the redeemer Of Paris and the cap- tor of a princess heart, leaps into the very front rank of romantic ac- tor-singers of the cinema in his gorgeous portrayal of Francois Vil- lon, the poet-hero of The Naga- bond King

FLIGHT OF WESTERN STARS"

"The Light of Western Stars" romped into the Strand theater last night for it's four day run and roped the audience heart and soul with it's spectacular outdoor scenes, its hear -throbbing romance, it's rol- locking humor and it's great human thrills. It's Zane Grey as he has never been seen on the screen be- fore-noW his he-man heroes talk.
 Richard Arlen has his second western role as Dick Bailey, the ranch foreman, whose swaggering proposal of marriage incurs the hate of Mary Brian. Awakened to real love, he works to offset his first bad impression, saves the girl from the sinister plans of Fred Kohter. and brings everything to a thrilling and happy ending. Miss Brian, playing opposite Arlen, is even better in this characterization than she was in "The Nirginian," and the picture as a whole, is just as spectacular. just as grand, as was that rousing enter tainmcnt.
 A gigantic stampede of wild horses lo the chief spectacles of the production. Hundreds of real 'cay uses are shown in a sweeping dash on the plains. with the cowboys risking their lives to stem the living tide. Scenes in the west during the last stand of banded outlawry against encroaching civilization arc faithfully and beautifully pictured.
 Harry Greens comedy dialect is convulsing in this outdoor setting. As a cowboy, Harry is funnier than he was as the "kibitzer." And Will liam Le Maire, garrulous comedian of "Only the Brave" has s bigger and more rib-tickling role a "The Light of Western Stars" Regis Toomey of "Alibi" and "Street of Chance" fame, has an important supporting part.
 On Thursday Dorothy Mackaill will be featured in Flirting Wid- ows" and an excellent vaudeville program will be offered, featuring the Fay and Bee Conan reveue.
