SLEEPING SUIT TORN
 FROM DEAD INFANT
Authorities Determined on Relentless Hunt for
 Kidnapers

HOPEWEIL, N. J., May a3.- The authorities are not saying what theory they favor regarding the brutal murder of Baby Lind bergh but they have under con- sideration one fact that would in dicate that Dr. John w. Condon and J. H. Curtis have been actually in contact with the kidnapers. This fact is there was some positive means of Identification.
 Sleeping Suit Missing
 The sleeping suit the baby wore when stolen from his crib was missing when the body was found. His nurse, Betty Cow made it. Only the soiled tattered remnants of the little shirt flannel band was found on the body.
 It has been reported several times that both Condon and the Norfolk negotiators turned over to Col. Lindbergh an article of cloth ing or piece of cloth and made convincing proof that contact had been established with the kid napers.
 Stripped Body of Suit
 So the theory is now that the kidnaper or kidnappers, crazed to kill their victim, struck the baby over the head and almost immed- lately slipped off the sleeping suit before the bodpy had been cast aside and set about obtaining the ransom for the child.
 Secrecy Observed
 Two intermediates of the baby search, who for weeks have been moving in and out of the background, their movements care fully guarded in fear of endanger- ing the babys life, must be able to give an account of their hidden activities.
 They are not under arrest. One is Dr. Condon, aged 70 years, edu- cator and known as Jafsie. who established contact with the man to whom $50,000 of Col. Lindbergh's money was paid on promise that was never fulfilled, that the child would be returned "alive and wel", and the other is John H. Curtis, one of the three Norfolk informed iarieS whose recent information sent him into the coastal waters near Long Island, where is was hinted contact was made with the kidnapers.
 Authorities Are Determined
 Horror kindled the incentive and drove the forces of the law today in an unrestrained hunt for the murderer or murderers.
 The compound fracture of the skull caused death of the baby evidently soon after the kidnap- ing. pr. Mitchell described it as a terrific blow or blows.
 No weapon was found near the spot when the body was discov- cred
 This added to the possibility the baby was hurled violently from the motor car but it is believed the body was carried into the thicket and there the baby was killed.
 Col. Lindbergh identified the body and later Betty Cow, the nurse said she was quite certain the body was that of the Lind bergh baby"

George Bancroft Starring in Tale
Of Russian Revolution

George Bancroft's latest pic
ture, "The World and the Flesh" ,"
in which Miriam Hopkins plays
opposite him, is current at the
Metropolitan. 1t is another story
of the Russian revolution, and be-
gins with the flight of party
of aristocratS in a freight train,
toward SebaStopol.
Accidental discovery that the
Soviet forces have cut the rail-
road to that port turns them
toward the east, and they finally
reach the smaller city of Theo-

of Bolshevik sailors have taken
the town.
Here the plot gets under way.

. .ountie Film
Shows Some
Originality

Life in the Northwest Mounted
isn't nearly as simple as it used
to- be. There was a time when
a Mountie need only know how
to ride hard and shoot straight
and stick to his Job until he had
his man under lock and key or
under six feet of earth.
But "McKenna of the North
west Mounted" this week at the
Columbia, shows the Mounties in
new light. Dealing with Or
ganized crooks the redcoat must
adopt new strategy in order to
achieve his ends.
Borrowing the tactics of the
master detective in the mystery
thrillerS, Buck Jones, who plays
Sergeant McKenna, turns crook
and joins up with the gang in
order to bring about their down
fall.
This film has considerably
more originality than most West
ernS. Exposed as a bandit, M
Kenna is caShiered out of the
service. AS a parting gesture his
former comrades apply their
straps viciouSly to his bare back.
1t seems to be an old custom
among the Northwest Mounted.
That's one big scene and there
are a half dozen or more such
exciting episodes.
Buck Jones, a superb horSeman
and a pleasing personality, is at
his best in this type of picture.
There is, of course, a love interest
to satisfy the female patronage.
In addition to the feature film
there is a mildly amusing "Old
Bill' comedy taken aboard ship
during a rough sea. A novel car
toon comedy in colorS and an in
teresting newsreel are thrown in
for good measure.

white Zombie," Bella Lugosi'S
latest horror thriller, is no idle
ghost story. Laid in the apt set
ting of tropic Haiti, it runs the
gamut of the ancient native lore,
superstition and black magic be-
liefs which have become associated
with the inhabitants of these
equatorial climes. Imbedded in
this land of paganism and witch
cry is a firm fear of the dead and
the ritual of Supernaturalism.
With these elements to COM
mand, story of grueSome detail
and horror is woven of a girl,
placed in a death trance by Muir
der, the master mind of the soul
less tribe of zombie, men he has
taken from the grave.
Bella LugoSi, as far as dramat-
les, is no better than his Dracula,
the same fearsome, ominous make
up and characteristics. But, with
all the hokum of weird effects, ma
tive fear and grueSome detail, the
character, Murder, is stronger
than was Dracula, and Bella Lu-
goSi has taken advantage of this.
Except for Joseph Cawthorn, the
rest of the cast, though adequate,
is not of special note.
The Stage Show

the Sunkist Beauties with Frank
Stever, baritone; Kareis and Kay

the latter similar to a scene from
Face the Music" on a much
smaller scale. Gold and Ray pro-
vide the brightest spot on the
bill with their professional anna
teurs, antics of clever and slap
stick dancing. Paul Mall with
his pot pourri of songs and ban
ter and his Ted Lewis mannerism
has good features but is too
crude on his humor.

Juveniles Score
in Military
Story

It's surprisingly good-thiS
story of a boy who makes good at
a military academy, with its
father and son love and its total
lack of romantic heart interest.
tom Brown of Culver" cur
rent at R-K-O Keith's. is some
thing new, refreshing in its sim
plicity and its portrayal of clean
boys learning how to make their
country safe for democracy.
Carried through with the ex-
cellent acting of talented
juveniles, the humor of tall, lanky
Slim Summerville and the polish
of H. B. Warner, the story takes
Tom Brown from a round of
grub-seeking boxing matches to a
captaincy at the Culver Military
Academy and the discovery of his
father, thought dead in the war.
Tom Brown-that's his real
name-doeS a fine job in the
leading juvenile role, with
Richard Cromwell a fast runner
up for the honorS.
Sure Fire Applause
The picture makes a sure-fire
bid for applause, somehow re-
miniscent of George M. Cohan'S
flag-raising stunt, when it opens
with John Philip Sousa leading
his famous Sand on the Capitol
Plaza. Outside the theater, a
neatly uniformed boys band
loudly acclaimed the picture.
H. B. Warner, in a role that
recalls his famous characterize
ton in "Sorrell and Son." plays
the father who comes back to life
when he RECEIVERS from shell
shock.
Edgar Kennedy pulls a series of

THE First Year" tells in an
interesting way the little trials
and misunderstanding which
crop up after the blush is off
the honeymoon. Grace Living
ston married Tommy Tucker, a
clean young fellow who was a
little shy at making love, but
ambitious in business. Grace
might have married Dick Loring,
who was better prospect Ito
hear him tell it, and who kept
up his attentions after her mar
riage, much to Tommy'S disgust
and Grace'S amusement.
A Funny Dinner
The best scenes in the play re-
main the highlights of the pic
ture-Grace's effort to set nice
table when Tommy invites a busi-
ness prospect to dinner. They
have to rely for table service
upon the inexperienced colored
maid, Hattie (who does washin'
best) and their cocktails come
from a flask of Hattie's bathtub
gin. The dinner is a failure and
out of the irritations and disap-
pointments comes their first real
row. It's all settled nicely for the
last reel with the reunited couple
awaiting a blessed event.
Farrell Is Good
Charles Farrell is constantly
improving as an actor and does
very effective work in this pic
ture. Whereas the play made the
hero get disgracefully tight to
drown his woes. Mr.. Farrell is
content to become pleasantly ex-
hilirated. I thank him for the
restraint.
Janet Gaynor-one Of this

has not been photographed as
strikingly as in earlier exhibits,
but there is a fragile delicacy to
her romantic moments and her
wistful appeal makes emotional
interludes register for tears.
Good Support
Secondary comedy is splendidly
served by such good character
actors as Leila Bennett, Robert
McWade, Minna Gombell and
Dudley Digges. For the Gaynor-

Names That Fit

"What's in a name?" inquired
the Bard of Avon many CEN
turies ago, but if he could visit
Glen Echo Park he would find
that names and occupations so
together.
A peculiar twist of fate assigns
Mary Miller as a ticket seller
at the Old Mill; Gladys Poole
at the swimming pool; Madeline
Korn at the popcorn stand;
Dorothy Dodge at the Dodgem
ride, and, to cap the climax,
Genevieve Palmer is an operator
at the palmistry booth.
Another oddity in this connec-
ton is that Thomas Rideout is
the ticket taker on the roller
coaster,
