NEW YORK, January Gold ar

day included a consignment of So

Canada over a route believed to have
been hitherto unused.
The metal came from Halifax, Nova
Scotia, on the liner, Ausonia, and was
said to have taken only slightly longer
time than shipment by rail, the usual
route for Canadian gold movements. It
was said the shipment by steamer was
much cheaper than by rail. Ordinarily,
the fastest means Of transportation is
utilized in gold shipments because Of
the loss of interest while in transit
The liner, FL Salvador, arrived today

they'll want to know where you've been.
What are you going to tell them?"
Tell them nothing Let those two
cops sit in their car in front of my

I care? At least, they'll keep burglars
away. And when finally they do round

HEELS ANGELS" AT
 NEW GARDEN

"Helrs Angels' the most preten- tious picture that has come out of Hollywood started a three-day run at the New Garden theater yester- day.
 This spectacular film drama was produced at cost of approximately $4,0O0.00O, and was three years in the making. This is the most time and money ever expended on a eel luloid production.
 Howard Hughes, 25-year-old pres ident of the Caddo company, pro- duced and personally directed this amazing dramatization of the world war in the air.
 He is Hallywood's youngest and most picturesque producer. The sen sation created by "Hell's Angels" has made him the outstanding figure today in the picture industry.
 More than 137 pilots, planes and mechanics were used in filming the air sequences of "Helrs Angels" and in one scene alone 50 planes are shown in free-for-all combat in what is admittedly one of the greatest achievements in the history of finn making.
 Two years were devoted to the filming of air scenes alone, and MT Hughes spared neither time nor ex- pense to make his air drama the most realistic and spectacular enter tainment ever put on the screen.
 Also on the same bill are a num- Der of selected short subjects.

 THRILLS CAPACITY CROWDS
 AT STATE.

A dramatic story of love and re-
 demption with a sensational prison
 background opened at Warner Bros State theater on Saturday and has
 been thrilling capacity audiences at
 every showing since.
 The film is "The Criminal Code''
 by Martin Flavin, the Columbia film
 adapted from Broadway's smashing
 stage hit of the same name which won the New York theater club trophy as the best play of the year. It was a prize-winning play and if any prizes are offered it will be a prize-winning picture. The tale is of love, of the police courts, and of the heart-breaking legal cruelty that exists in prison. | It Is realistic-realistic to the extent
 that it shocks and startles and he stirring love scenes were poignant
 enough to rouse the motions of blase Broadway. Unfolded for the ma jor part in a states prison, the story depicts a beautiful romance between
 a youthful convict and the warden's
 daughter. Bob Graham, the convict
 was given ten years for killing

 him. And then he has to decide
 whether he will sacrifice his chance
 for happiness and follow the 'crim-
 inal code" of the prison. Woven in with the love scenes are sensational
 views of prison riots and an attempt cd prison "hreak''
 Walter Huston, as the prison war den gives a dynamic and convincing performance. He is effective at all times. Constance Cummings, as the
 warden's daughter, is vividly appeal ing. Phillips Holmes scores as the youthful convict. Others who were particularly effective were Mary Doran, Dewitt Jennings, Boris Kar- loff, Otto Hoffman.
 A marvellous surrounding program accompanies the feature picture.
