as Terror of Thugs
Becomes Chief.
BY ROBERT 7. LOUGHRAN
United Press staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Oct 2.-Chicago's war
with crime enters a new phase to-
day with James Patrick Altman as
new police commissioner.
If ever these was a man who could
shake from the city it's often re-
peated title Of crime capital of the
world that man is Altman, if his
record of thirty-one aggressive years
in the police department is any cri-
terion.
Don't think I'm tickled about
this appointment" he said in his
even, deliberate tones that carry
the suggestion of brogue. I've beer
up against this problem as a cap
tain and I know what I'm in fol
now.
But if 1 don't run the gang
sters, hoodlums, gamblers and vice
mongers out of Chicago it won't be
because I didn't give them the best
fight 1 could"
Got His Chance in 1921
The strapping six-footer was
called Brick" Altman when he
joined the department in 1900. His
hair was brick red then. Now it is
gray.
Altman got his chance in 1921,
four years after becoming a cap
tain, when he was sent into the En-
glewood district on the south side.
Spike" ODonnell, Ralph Sheldon
and Danny Stanton had goaded
their gangs into reign of lawlesS-
ness.
Beer trucks rumbled through the
streets. Speakeasies f1ourished.
Shootings were almost an everyday
event.
Altman went in. He closed the
speakeasies. The gangsters moved
on. The shootings stopped.
Same Story Everywhere
When the back of the-yards''

was sent there. Joe Salts and
Frank McErlane were the gang
chiefs whose word was law. But
not after Altman got on the job. He
closed the district up so tight Salts
couldn't move barrel of beer.
Next he was called to the front
porch" of the stockyards, where
Stubby McGovern, Charles (Bubs)
Quinlan and their gunner ruled
with pistol and machine gun. When
Altman pronounced his job done,
the stockyards district was quiet.

GARY COOPER AND CAROLE LOMBARD AT
 EOX-POTI PALACE

No one who has followed Carole Lombard's recent screen work doubts that she is we'll on her way to stardom, and, after seeing her in q Take This Woman" now showing at the Fox-Poh theater. her meteoric Hollywood career is understandable. She is beautiful, in- telligent, has Q sense of humor and a. we'll developed dramatic talent.
 Co-featured with Gary Cooper in the Mary Lombard displays depths of emotional feeling hidden in sev- eraI of her recent comedy-romace parts, and Cooper, strong. outdoor. virile, maO,es an excellent leading man for the charming actress.
 The locale of the story shifts be- tween the New York of the Four Hundred and Wyoming's sun- drenched plains. The contrast of setting adds vividness to an Ab- sorbig love story based on vital modern theme.
 The co-feature on the program, Charlie Ruggles in "A Girl Habit" The exceptionally fine work which Charlie Ruggles has done in a number of Paramount pictures has earned him the enviable rank of star with that company. His first starring production is "The Girl Habit"
 Ruggles made his talkie debut in "Getlemen of the Press" as the memorable reporter who never seemed to kow which paper he was working for. Other films fin which he turned tn bodies of giggles and sIathers of laughs were Her We'd ding Night" "The Lady Lies" Honor A1ong Lovers" and Char lays Aunt" in which he played

ADOLPH MENJOU AND BIG CAST DELIGHT AUDIENCE IN 1.-THE GREAT LOVER"
 NOW AI THE STATE

That favorite of the stage, "The Great Lover" came back to. drama lovers of this city yesterday in talkie form. A delightful audience at the Warner Bros. State theater thoroughly enjoyer Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer's film version of one of the greatest box office hits the legiti- mate drama ever knew.
 The suave and debonair Adolphe Menjou, in the part created on Broadway by Lea Ditrfchstein, does himself proud indeed. He of- fers a superb portrayal of the bari tone, Paurel, who was as famous for his love affairs as for his voice. Menjou always has had delft touch in love sequences marking back to the days of "A Woman in Paris" and he is particularly charming in "The Great Lover" He is an engaging rascal and you do not wonder why the girls go mad about him.
 As the cetral figure of the prin- cipal love affar, Irene Dunne is splendid. The role, of course, is entirely different from that which made her famous in "Cimarron." It is highly dramatic and sophisti- cated and Miss Dunne handled 1t admirably.
 An excellent surrouding program accompanies the feature presenta- ton.

MARIE DRESSLER AND POLLY MORAN IN LAUGH HIT
 "POTITTICS" TO OPEN

AT STATE SAIOhDhH
 Waterbury can now get ready for the laugh sensation of the current season which opens a four-day en- gagement at Warner Brothers State theater on Saturday next.
 It Is none other than the widely heralded comedy classic "Politics," starring the two funniest com medicines on the talking screen to- day, Marie Dressler and Polly Moran.
 Funy, as this pair are, in their two previous pictures, "Politics" tops them both as 0 rib-busting mirthquake of merriment.
 Rosco Ates, the stuttering comic hit of a dozen pictures, the most reoSnt being "The Great Lover" has a. great role as Polly's husband who swears to vote for the opposition |. |. until Polly gives him the works.
 Politics" is picture that can and will be enjoyed by every man, woman and child who sees 1t. It is good, clean comedy dispensed at a mile a minute pace by the funniest comics the talking scheen boasts of to-day.
 A specially selected program of accompanying short subjects has been arranged for this all-laughing program.
