Alphabet Long in Use?

That Semitic merchants who lived
before 1000 B. C. in Asia minor knew
the use of the alphabet, is the con-
clusion of scholar who builds up his
evidence without having any of the

records were on perishable parchment.

fastened in his damaged barn Satur-
day while the city council prepared
to debate his fate. g
Tusko, choosing Christmas day to
struggle for freedom, tossed off his

fastened about his rear legs began an
assault on his quarters. He smashed
down one wall of his barn and for IL
hours defied the efforts Of his keepers
and police.
He made repeated lunges at those
who sought to restrain him and the
situation became SO acute that IL po-
liccmen with sub-machine guns were
sent out with orders to kill the beast
If necessary.
Finally he was tricked into stepping
inside a steel cable moose, one end o1
which was attached to a powerful
truck. Several hours later his keep.
ers, Jack O'Grady and Sleepy" Gray
said they were positive they had hin
fastened SO securely there was NJ
chance for him to break out again.

CAPITOL THEATRE

The swift drama of New York
caught and carried to the screen by
an author who has lived his life there.
In that, perhaps, lies the true
greatness of Street Scene," Samuel
Goldwyn's United Artists production
Of the Elmer Rice stage play which
opens at the Capitol Theatre on Mon
day.
Once each year a distinguished
body Of dramatic judges assemble to
select the greatest American dramatic
creation Of the season. The fact that
Street Scene" was the unanimous
selection, which carries with it the
Pulitzer prize award, bespeaks great
ness for Elmer Rices masterpiece.
But still more significant is the fact
that Street Scene" ran into it's Sec
ond year in New York, that it scored
triumphs in London, Chicago. Los An
geles and other large cities. To the
punditS of dramatic criticism may be-
long the right of judging a plays
greatness, but it is the public which
determines the question Of popularity
Street Scene," which comes to the
screen with members Of the original
stage cast augmented by such cinema
names as Sylvia Sidney, William Col
lier, Jr. and Estelle Taylor, ha.
passed the test of both critics and the
public. It has served as never before
to bring Elmer Rice into the spotlight
as one of Americas great dramatists
