CONSTANCE BENNETT IN
 "WHAT PRICE HOLLYWOOD?0
 COMING TO THE STATE SAT.

For the first time in her event. full life Constance Bennett has had break in motion pictures.
 Never having been forced to crash the cinema gates as a begin rler she went through that ordeal as a star, and what she missed h real life she experienced in one of her own pictures. '
 The film is RKO Pathe's ''What Price Hollywood" beginning a four day engagement at Warmers State on Saturday, and in it's early stages the delectable blonde star has to play a role about as uii- familiar to her as any she has ever done. It is that of girl who fights her way up the movie ladder by playing extra, doing "bit" parts and acting as stand in' for star.
 Because of her. own meteorie rise to success, all Constance Bennett knows about that phase of picture making is what she has~seen.f She not only didn't have to do extra work or "bit" roles but she wasn { given the chance. The films prac- tically kidnapped her from a social career and her first part was a lead. Within a few months she was at the threshold of stardom. Leaving the screen for a time, she returned to the new medium oI talking pictures as a fuli-hedged star and swept on her way to new heights of popularity. 2 TT
 Now she is the star of q picture which paints Hollywood with its own brilliant coiors. it's glamour, heartbreaks and triumphs.
 The story upon which tho film is based was written by Adeia Res- CTS St John. one of the picture city's own authors, she knows avory person Of importance tn the film colony and is familiar with all It's phases.

"An examination of the record satisfies us that the defendant had full. fair and impartial trial, and that justice does not require a new trial to be held"
 The decision covered IA pages, and reviewed the whole case from the murder through the indict- ment, trial and the defense's ap- peal to the supreme court.
 It denied the defense allegation that Judge Walsh, "by tone of voice, manner and countenance, as well as words influenced the jury so that the defendant did not have full, fair and impartial trial"
 We have carefully examined the record" 1t asserted, land find no words in 1t to influence the jury against the defendant. The charge or the trial justice was clear, fair and impartial. and there was not the slightest suggestion in it as to his opinion of the guilt or inno. cence of the defendant"

 The youth was released near a farmhouse after his uncle had been absent from the family home an entire day on mysterious mis- sion. The uncle, William B. Bohn, had replaced the father in the neg citations for Haskelrs return.
 Two hoaxes had diverted the en- ergies of the authorities before Bohn was freed.
 Even while the manufacturers son was telephoning word of his safety, Police Chief Thomas Dahill and other officers were in Crooks ton interviewing Roy White, 52, Tulsa, Okla, an escaped convict, re- garding his confession" to the Kidnapping. The confession" was discredited before news of Has, kelrs liberation. Dahill and his as- sociates were on their way back to-day.

In The Local
 TheaterS
PoLI PALACE THEATER

@~AS
 It's a double treat, this new bill at the Palace to-day, rich in drama, with it's quota of tears and thrills. "The Strange Case of Clara Deane" has that "audience value" so sought after by the pro- ducers, the story of mother love which could endure sacrifice so that the happiness of that child might not be destroyed. The com ,panion feature is "The Honor of the Press" a newspaper play, as you might guess, but one that seems to succeed in finding yet new angle that has not been touched by the parade of news paper talkies shown to date.
 What is the supreme sacrifice for a mother--death? No. not for a mother. Thousands would die any time for their child But to give up her child-even for the child's benefit-that's the greatest sacri- flee. Wynne Gibson, as Clara Deane, does just that. Blind jus- tice tore from her arms the baby she adored. For years she suffered yearning for her daughter, pray ing for the moment when they would be reunited. And then-af- ter waiting and yearnfng-after 1.-the law had put her child, now grown, beyond her power to re- the child's good--she made the supreme sacrifice. Yes. and when a menace came to threaten the happiness of that child. even its life, the mother took the law into her own hands. Here Is a we'll knit. believable story that reaches the peak of viSid emotionalism with splendid performances. too, by at O'Brien and Frances Dee and Dudley DisEes.
 The other feature, "The Honor of tAe Press" is excitement dipped in Irinter's ink. A modern rack eteeH has gained ownership of the "ClaAon" through one of his sliny deals and while he continues to conduct it as a real live sheet, new ertheless uses it's editorial columns to dilect his band of yeggs and murdGers. It takes the cub report CT to .putsmart the police, outwit the older reporter who is on the fix" and cast out his "boss. Ed. die Nukent is the young reporter; Rita L&Roy is the "heart throbs" column conductoress; Wheeler OakmaI is at his villainous best. and Russell Simpson arouses en- thusiasm as the hard boiled city editor.
 Fox Movietone News rounds out the current program. Announce ment is made of the arrival Sun- day of The Red Headed Woman" with Jean Harlow and Chester Morris credited equally with hav- ing developed the thrill of the sum- mer. Monday night now seems at the Palace to have been set aside for the encouragement of talent ''in the fiesh," a revamping of amateur night with this city living up to itslreputation of being ready to supply the American stage with all the entertainment it may need.

ports of Lithuanian aeronautical observation posts near the Polish frontier that a plane believed to be the Century of Progress" had been sighted late Wednesday night.
 Other eastern European capitals had no word of the flyers. From Warsaw came the opinion that the men might have been forced off their route by rain storms Wednes- day night.
 The flyers were seven hours overdue at Moscow at noon, Mos- cow time 6 a. m., E.S.TO, on the basis of their estimate that they could make the Berlin-Moscow flight in eight hours. They lert Berlin at p. m.
 The possibility was not dis counted at Moscow that Griffin and Mattern might have contin- ued eastward to one of the Soviet industrial centers beyond the cap ital, or that they might have gone on into Siberia. On the basis or the record breaking flight across the Atlantic from Newfoundland to Berlin. they were credited with the ability to penetrate far into eastward territory before coming down for fuel.
 lithuanian frontier guards es- timated that if the plane sighted near the Polish frontier continued on it's course, it would pass south of Moscow. There was also the possibility that weather conditions might have forced the flyers south end that they would continue east of the Soviet capital.
 Mattern and Griffin left Berlin 10 hours and 43 minutes ahead or the round d-the-world flight mark set by Wiley Post and Harold 5Gatty. They were 34 hours and 59 minutes out of New York when they shot their red, white and blue monoplane, Century of Pro. prese." across the Berlin airport and headed toward Moscow.
 The flyers had set a record TOT a transatlantic hop and had be- come the first to fly direct from North America to Berlin. They re- ceived a tremendous welcome at Tempelhof airdrome, where the rush to the field had started as soon as word was received that the plane had been sighted over Ire land. holding a direct course for Berlin. j.
 The Century of Progress landed at Berlin at 5:42 p. m. and was on again at g p. m. Mattern and Grif- fin made up time on Post and Gatty at Berlin, as the first round the world team spent Il hours and eight minutes resting before they resumed their flight.

McAdoo's Speaks

Washington. July 7-John Nance Garner will make a trip to the Pacific coast during his vice-presi- dential campaign, it was announced today by William Gibb McAdoo after conference between the two democratic leaders.
 No date was set, nor was an itinerary made known.
 McAdoo branded as ridiculous" reports that he had switched the California delegation over to Franklin D. Roosevelt during the democratic convention to ''get even" with former Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York for the deadlock of 1924 which cost Mo- Adoo the nomination.
 'I explained why I was doing what I did in my speech" the former secretary of the treasury said. "The condition of the coun- try is so grave that the demo- cratic party shouldn't destroy it. self by needless fights on the foor."
 McAdoo, commenting on Smiths decision to support the Roosevelt Garner ticket, said 'he is good democrat. l LHluk IS WdS all lHSult to the governor to suggest that he might not have backed the party ticket"
 McAdoo predicted "undoubted" victory for the democratic ticket in the coming election and added that it would sweep every Pacific coast state.
 "The country is overwhelmingly for a change in administration" he seid.
 Discussing the present contro- versy over relief legislation, Mo- Adoo declared Speaker Garner to be absolutely right" in his de- termination to hold ou t against President Hoover for broader loan ing powers of the reconstruction finance corporation.
 "As democrats he said, i've be- ,Iieve in equal opportunity for all and special privilege for none."
