Joan Crawford'S new picture, paid"
now at Loew's Palace, was adapted from
Bayard Veiller's celebrated crook drama
within the Law" and most of the
early scenes are laid in the womens
penitentiary, to which the heroine is
sent after being unjustly convicted of
stealing.
The story required the use of cell
blocks, corridors, kitchen and dining
hall and library, and even entailed a
dramatic scene in the shower room.
While the studio technicianS, who only
recently had built sets for THE Big
House." might have presided satisfac-
tory sets without the aid of official data,
1t seems that the studio officials felt
there was a wide difference between
the mems prison in THE Big House"
and the penitentiary in Paid" and so
called in Glen Peoples, Los Angeles
County jailor, in an advisory capacity
for not only accurate and realistic sets,
but for the various incidents which take
place within penitentiary walls.
Similar advice and supervision also
governed such sequences of the picture
as the third degree scenes and the court
room proceedings.

Pardon Me!

RY their Rs you shall know them, ac-
cording to Leon Enrol, Paramount
comedy favorite, now playing in Finn
and Hattie"
tainer over most of the English-speak-
ing world, has made a study of idioms
and dialects. He tells this story of
the time when he was starred in one
of the Ziegfeld Follies. The chorus
numbers had the opening line: "Oh,
pardon me; oh, pardon me-"
LAS danced back and forth in front
of that long row of glorified sisters I
could easily name their homes" says
Enrol. THE girls from Chicago and
the West sang it, oh, pardon me; oh,
pardon me-; the girls from Boston,
'pahdon,' and the Brooklynites called
it 'purdon."

Herbert Songs Help Story.

THE four songs-victor Herbert
songs-which are heard in kiss
Me Again." at the Earle, are used to
advance the plot or action of the story.
Each song was used to add something
to the characterization of the people
involved and not merely as an excuse
to register a splendid singing voice
Take the title kiss Me Again" The
wonderful love waltz of Mile. Modiste,"
which, by the way, is the most famous
of Victor Herbert's operettas, is a vital
part of the story, and is sung three
times by Bernice Claire, twice in per-
son and in one scene over the radio.
Each time it furtherS the action Of
the picture.
The same holds true of the three
other songs that are heard, THE Mas
cot of the Troop" THE Time. the Place
and the Girl" and IT Want What I
Want When I Want It." Each song
was intended to have definite bear
ing on the story when composed by
Victor Herbert. for it must be remem-
bered he wasn't composing for a musi-
cal revue when he produced Mile
Modiste" He had story to tell in
music and the story had to run
smoothly.

Mrs. Hubbard has one of the rarest
personalities that gets over the foot
lights. On stage or of, she Is always
the same. In theatrical circles no one
is held in higher respect among the
players
When Steve Cochran went to New
York recently to cast his company

Seldom does sentiment enter into
business, but, then again, the theater
has its tradition always to respect and
honor its real troupers; and Mrs. Hib-
bard, by the consensus of her own
people, Is q trouper born to the purple

 School Last Night

lets in memory of the late Alder man Patrick McFadden and John J. O'Sullivan, two former members of the club, will be placed in the community house as soon as the building is finished. The following named new members were elected: Thomas Early, MT. and Mrs. Henry Moreau, John Shea, MT. and Mrs. Philip Cerilo, MT. and Mrs. William Heady, Mrs. Corey and Mrs. George Ferro.
 Before and after the meeting MT. Goss had a pleasant chat with many of those in attendance, quite few of whom are employees of the Scovill Co.,, so that the congress- man felt almost as much at home as though he were attending a gathering of the Scovill company foremen.
 The meeting devoted some time to the Halloween masquerade dance to be given in Piedmont hall tonight, which is expected to draw large crowd. An interesting pro- gram will be rendered, including number of prizes.

FRANCE MAY NOT BE PARTICIPANT
 IN CREDIT BANK
International Affair to Re- lease Frozen Short Term Credits in German Nation
BY RALPH HEINZEN nnvrlphf 1Q2t hv U'nifnd PrasSN

(COpyrlght 1881 by United Press) Aboard s. S. He De France, Oct 30.-(UP)--Members of Premiere
 Pierre Bavars party expressed
 doubt to-day that France would participate in an international credit bank to release frozen short
 term credits in Germany.
 The United Press learned that Emile Francquai. Belgian financier and minister of state who submit ted the plan to President Hoover,
 had not been invited to discuss the plan with Laval and other
 French officials in Paris.
 Laval studied cabled reports of the plan as it was understood to
 have. been proposed to President
 Hoover by Francqui. The premier
 made no comment.
 Charles Rist. honorary under governor of the Bank of France and we'll known as an author and economist. doubted the utility of
 the plan. He did not believe that France would participate directly In #. t.t He maintained that creditor foreign banks might act directly to draw draft bills countersigned by the Reichsbank, which they could market at regular discount
 rates of the emission banks. with
 out the necessity of an intermedi- ary bank. Rist was surprised at reports that. several American bankers were said to believe. that the Bank of France desired a slump in the
 dollar. Contrarily. Rist said. the
 suggestion of the Bank of France that the Federal Reserve bank
 raise its discount rate was prompt ed by the fact that too much gold
 was being taken out of the United States. f
 Rist added that the low rate of the Bank of England had obliged the United States and France to
 maintain low discount rates but the necessity was removed when England went off the gold stand ard. France therefore believed the
 time opportune for discount rates
 to he raised. Rist insisted that no pressure
 was brought upon the Federal Re-
 serve bank under the threat of
 withdrawal of French gold. as was
 rumored in the United states.
