AT THE MOVIES
CAPITOL THEATRE


One Of the classics of modern
American literature has become one
OF the classics of the screen in "Ar-
rowsmith," Samuel Goldwyn's produc-
ton Of the famous novel by Sinclair
Lewis which came to the Capitol
Theatre last night. It has reality,
tension, splendid acting, gripping
sweep of emotions. and new type of
role for Ronald Colman to make it
one Of the film events of the year.
It is easy to see that Colman's per-
Torrance Of the young hero, DR.. Mar
tin ArrowSmith, has as much to do
with the success of the picture as the
brilliant story that made the book
a best-seller.
In addition, "Arrowsmith' gives
the world Of movie-goerS another op-
portunity to see Helen Hayes, whose
emotional powers made her first pic
ture, 1.-THE Sin of Madelon Claudet,"
such a triumph. Here this great
American actress has another role ex-
actly suited for her, that of the little
nurse who marries DR.. Arrowsmith
and stands by him in the face of dis
appointment and death.
The story sweeps from the Dakota
wheat country to New York and then
down to tiny island in the West In
dies where Arrowsmith and his wife
go to fight the Black Death that Is
threatening the whole civilized world.
Quiet heroism, devotion, comedy,
mingle in it in faithful transcription
Of the book. It would be worth see
ing for Colman's performance alone.
AS it is, with its gripping, human story
and perfect casting. 1t IS making
screen history. It is United Artists
picture.

TROUBLED ALL LIFE
WITH CONSTIPATION
But Kellogg's ALL-BRAN
Brought Real Relief

# you are subject to headaches,
loss Of appetite and energy, sleep
lessness and other effects that 80
often result from constipation, read
Mrs. Turner's voluntary letter.
"For the past six months / have
been eating Kellogg's ALI-BRAN,
and cannot praise it too highly.
"Am fifty years of age. All my
life have been troubled with consti-
patton. Kellogg's ALL-BRAN has not
only helped me, but has cured me.
II thought I couldn't like the
taste of bran, but Kellogg's ALL
BRAN is delicious" Mrs. C. j.
Turner, 5O7 Hanover Street, Fall
River, Mass.
Tests show ALL-BRAN contains
two things which overcome consti.
patton: "Bulk" to exercise the in
testines; Vitamin B to help tone the
intestinal tract. ALL-BRAN also sup.
plies iron for the blood.
The "bulk" in ALL-BRAN is much
like that of lettuce. Inside the body,
it forms soft mass, which gently
clears the intestines Of wastes.
Certainly this is more natural
than taking pills and drugs-so
often harmful. ALL-BRAN is not
habit-forming. Two tablespoonfuls
daily will correct most types Of con-
stipation. II you have intestinal
trouble not relieved this way, see
your doctor.
Get the red-and-green package at
your grocer's. Made by Kellogg in
Battle Greek.

Third Man Loses Life in Effort
to Defend Friend From
Racketeers
MACHINE GUN is EMPLOYED
Defender Used Shotgun to Pre-
vent Enforced Collec-
ton Of ST, 500

Taylorville. ILL.,, April 2e.-(R-
Henry Allegrucci, So, shot and killed
two suspected extortionists in defense
of a friend Monday night and was
slain himself in the gun fight.
The shooting occurred at the home
of Arthur Cioni in Langley, q nearby
village, when Peter Larocca, 40, and
Vincenzo Manteller, 40, both of
Springfield, ILL.,, called with a COM
panion to enforce, Cioni said, pay
ment of $500.
Allegrucci, who had agreed to help
Cioni in anticipation of the visit, kill
ed Larocca with a shotgun blast as
he advanced to the door with ma
chine gun. Larocca's companions
opened fire and in the exchange, Al
legrucci was killed and Manteller
was wounded.
Despite his wounds, Manteller fled
with the third man in an automobile
and state police were summoned and
gave chase. They punctured the tires
of the fleeing car after a 40-mile race
and forced it to stop. Inside lay
Manteller, dead.
The third man escaped. Police ex-
pressed belief the three men were the
professional extortionists who killed
Mr.. and Mrs. Dominic Severi, neigh
bors of Larocca, two months ago.
Cioni said Larocca and the others
had visited his home previously with
demands for money and warned him
to have 1t ready last night.

PARAMOUNT THEATRE


Smooth as satin! Bright-polished
and fast-moving as a new car! Bub-
bling and effervescent and heart
warming as pre-war champagne! Elk
citing as a stolen kiss! That's the
new Chevalier triumph, Zone Hour
With YOU" Paramount picture
which is shown at the Paramount
Theatre tonight and Wednesday.
AS fashionable doctor whose wom-
en- patients find his prescriptions easy
to take, Chevalier has role full of
opportunities for his special brand of
foolery, and needless to say he doesn't
miss one. However-and this is an
original touch-the doctor is actually
in love with his wife, Colette (played
by jeanette MacDonald) and though
duty requires him to call on other
ladies, hold their hands-that is, feel
their pulses-and listen to the eXcit-
ed fluttering of their hearts, he
struggles manfully to be true to
Colette. If only Mitzi (Genevieve
Tobin) had played fair-but when did
a woman as pretty as Mitzi ever play
fair?
No other performance, however ex-
cellent, can obscure the fact that lone
Hour With You" is a Chevalier pic
ture-and one certain to add to the
magnetic Frenchman's popularity.

New Device to Aid
Deaf Is Perfected

Washington, April 26.-(P-A
new device to help the deaf to
hear, In which sound hurdles dis
abled ear organs much as a race
horse jumps hedge, was shown
for the first time Tuesday before
the National Academy of Sciences.
It does for the deafened person
what his ears no longer can do
changes sound waves into vibra-
tions which in normal persons are
produced by three small bones of
the middle ear. These vibrations,
Of changing wave length and pow
er, act on the fluid of the inner
ear. which In turn actuates the
nerves Of hearing.
The new device, developed by
DR.. Frederick Bedell of Cornell
university, changes sound into
the special vibrations artificially
and sends them to the inner ear
by way of the bones of the head.

81 600, 900. It had 100000 worth of
common stock This common stock
was owned by the Municipal Service
Company, which also owned other
properties. The Municipal Service
Company had a funded debt Of IS ,000,-
600 and capital stock besides.
But the Municipal Service Com
pany was controlled by the National
Public Service Corporation, which
also owned other properties. National
Public Service had borrowed $40 ,0OO,-
600 on the security of its stock in It's
subsidiaries, and had sold its own
stock.
But National Public Service was
controlled by the National Electric
Power Company, and on the security
OF its stock in National Public Service
and other subsidiaries it had sold
nearly $40 900 900 in notes.
Finally, National Electric Power
was owned by the Middle West Utili-
ties Company, the big insult property
which is now in trouble
The Middle West Utilities Com
panys subsidiaries, all of them to-
gether had borrowed hundreds of
millions. and Middle West Utilities
had itself borrowed nearly 100000
900.
X y y
Above the Middle West company
were two more insult holding compan-
les, Corporation Securities, Inc, and
insult Utilities Investments.
Naturally, this inverted pyramid of
finance was a weather sort of
structure.
So long as the myriad subsidiaries
made money, the profits would pile
up in golden flood and pour in on
the topmost holding company. But
if many companies, like the little
Scranton electric railway, began to
lose money, the whole structure would
lose money pretty fast. 1t would lose
faster than anything could be done
about it.
Middle West Utilities tried to save
the situation by lending money to it's
subsidiaries, and these by lending
money on down, and finally the loan
would get down to the Scranton Elec-
trio, but as many little properties
needed money they used it up faster
than it could be furnished.
And so the farflung Middle West
holding company finally toppled over.
X X X
Despite his rise as a power mag
nate, insult had his disappointments
He could not make his experimental
electrified farm pay. He had spent
100000 in financing his wife's at
tempted comeback as an actress, but
the effort failed. She had been on
the stage before their marriage. He
had been forced by the United States
senate to admit he had literally
financed Republican and Democratic
campaigns.
He also financed the famous Chi
cago Civic Opera through many an
Improbable season, and is now hav-
ing to leave it to stand on its own feet.
No master of diplomacy, insult had
gone directly after what he wanted,
usually by buying it. The faster he
bought, the faster his fortune grew,
but the tidal slip OF commodity prices
finally overthrow him.
