COSTELLO CASE.
 IS FEATURE OF. CAPITOL BILL
Tom Moore Clorifies Am- erican Policeman Tn
 Strong Production

Bristling with action James Cruces production, "The Costello Case" which begins showing to- night at the Capitol theatre, is a strong dramatic picture The tense action never lags. It provides grip ping scenes frightened by flashes of genuine humor.
 Not the least important asset of 'The Costello Case" is it's timeli- ness. Its story is concerned with the baffling murder of a notorious racketeer, and the police in their attempt to solve it, catch a young couple about to make getaway at railroad depot.
 Runaway Marriage
 Chilled at the station house, Mol ly cOnfeSses that she and Jimmy have run away to be married. They are released under supervision, and the police investigation is carried further. until the crime is pinned on Mile-Away- Harry, a gangster known to police records. However, Jimmy's participation in the affair is made known. but having started to go straight, he is permitted to continue along the right path.
 Tom Moore glorifies, the Irish American cop in keen, smiling portrayal. It is he who takes an in- terest in the runaway pair, and eventually solves the Costello mur- der at the risk of nearly being bumped off himself.

Many Hollywood Ch orus Girls Have Never Danc-
 ed on Theatre Stages

Illusion" starring Charles Bud dy) Rogers and Nancy Carroll, is the headline attraction cn the new program to be presented tonight at the Coliseum theatre.
 In the filming of Illusion" it was demonstrated that Hollywood, city of paradcxes, is responsible for new plTenomena-the profession al chorus girl who has never seen action in a stage production.
 Out of the score of beautiful chorines cast for the lavish theat- rical sequences of .Illusion," the Paramount all-talking production, it was discovered that four of them had made their debut as chorus girls in the movies.
 Peculiar State of Things
 The big musical-talking produc- tions made in Hollywood such as "The Dance of Life" and Why Bring That Up," have brought about this peculiar state of things
 There has been more work for dancing girls in Hollywood during the past year than was afforded by Broadway. As the result every train into Los Angeles has brought dozens of trained chorus girls from New York. But the home guard has made a gallant stand against the inva..on.
 Never Danced in Theatres
 Two girls among the quartet of movie-chorines that appear in IT. fusion" have appeared in the cho- ruses of six talking pictures, but have never danced in a theatre ether than those built on the sound

 The Chamber adopted the report of the Executive Committee which ordered the resolution placed on file. It is possible an effort will be made to call it up at later date.
 The Board also reported it had received a communication from the Alaska Steamship Company rela- tive to its request for special rates for public school pupils trav- cling between Alaska ports for interscholastic events.

HEART ACTION OF

Cleveland, Jan. 23.-P)-A s.fGs
heart, as it begins its first timld ana
hesitant beats in its career OF insplr-
alton for future song, has been caught
by the micro-movie camera here.
The movie is taken of the embryo,
which is dissected from the egg about
one or two days after incubation has
started. The movie producer Is DR..
Bradley M. Patten, professor OF en-
briology, Western Reserve U~nvefsity's
Medical School. =.
In the micro-movie the embryo is
shown floating in the liquid OF the
egg. The embryo, microscopic IN size,
appears on the screen like a giant
tadpole or fish, about S to s feet long.
The heart-a simple. transparent, bull
bous tube, occupied a large part Of
the picture. ~
At this stage nothing moves but the
little bulb. The beating starts before
the blood is ready for circulation. Its
beating is intermittent and irregular.
Sometimes the p~ulsation stops for
long intervals. and then renews Its
intermittent action.

Activities Of Veterans Service
Commissioner Discussed
in Report

Fargo. N. D., Jan. 23.-(P)-Activ-
tiles Of the office of Veterans Service
commissioner since its establishment
here in April, 1927, have resulted In
adjustments and settlements Of 1913
claims of ex service men involving
SAL ,400.52, according to the biennial
report Of T. o. Kraabel, Veterans
Service commissioner.
Classification Of this work showing
the number Of cases for each type Of
claim and the amount follows: Dis
ability compensation. 149 cases, $751;

Cooperation Is Essential
"These results" Kraabel says in his
report, "have not been obtained
through our efforts alone but through
the cooperative efforts Of the veterans
themselves, Of the veterans bureau
and of the veterans organizations.
We have utilized the extensive or
ganization Of the American Legion in
this state to reach out to as many ex-
service men as possible. explaining
laws governing their cases, contact
claimants on their cases, supply the
required forms and material, and to
assist to the best Of our ability and
with the limited facilities available to
all those who have difficulties to
overcome or requirements 70 meet in
their claims. Work and contact in
the field have been markedly curtail-
ed II, the last year for the reason that
demands reaching this office through
the mail and by personal appearances
OF the claimants n their representa-
tives occupy all u time. At the
present time personal contacts aver
