Lew AyreS in RialtO Film,
With Clarence Darrow Talk

WIN SidEtHCe DdITOW laIk.
THE Rialto presents two mysteries
of life.
One is Night World" starring
able Lew Ayres-a melodramatic
tale of a wealthy youth who drinks
his way through speakeasies, try
ing to forget that his mother killed
his father, until the more limpid
flow of a virtuouS chorus girls gaze
sets him Alright with the world.
The other is Clarence DarroW, re-
mailing the planks in his evolution
platform with picture full of bugs,
beasts and biology, called The Mys-
terry of Life"
Undoubtedly Night World" is the
greater mystery. The picture bun
dies all proverbial night evils
numbering gangsters, slugging
''bouncers," tinsel-necked liquor bot
ties and teetering women-into a
regular Speakeasy potpourri
Lew AyeS and Mae Clarke, with
some really veritable interludes of
humanlike love, brighten up story
that becomes a trifie cold-b -blooded
with pumping of bullets into dress
Shlrted men and silk-bodiced women.
A particular word of commenda-
tion should be said for Lew Ayres'
drunken Interpretation and the hu-
morouS human interest afforded by a
phllosophizing colored doorkeeper at
Happy's night club, where-if I have
grasped the moral of this mystery
OF life aright-no one ever is happy.

necessary and the one damning fact
that the body was hidden where it
Was-all point to neighbOrhood crIm-
inals and to the Sourland Mountains.
The mountains have such an un-
sayory reputation that to state this
is no libel. And 1 can understand
readily how if the criminals are resi-
dents Of the district, police have failed
thus far to unearth them. From an
investigation we made into a Sourland
Mountains murder in 1916. I can con-
firm at first hand the fact that only
lengthy under-cCver work conducted
with the utmost secrecy can draw any
information from these hill people.
This is not to say that all the residents
are criminals. but it is a fact that many
of them sense a barrier between them
selves ana the law and resist giving
information to police officers.

dered man, had been arrested for the
crime and indicted. We sent one of our
operatives and his wife to live in the
hills, and few weeks later sent an of
flcer, with badge pinned outside his
coat. to question the mountaineers. He,
Of course, failed to get any information,
but he served the valuable purpose of
stimulating discussion - discussion 10
which my under-cCVer operatives were
party. 1t was the information gathered
III this way which led us directly to the
actual criminals, who were tried and
sentenced.
1 don't believe the Lindbergh crime
was committed by a gang. The police
nave the underworld sewn so thicKly
with spies that a rumble must have
come to the surface long before if a
professional gang were implicated 1t
seems to me, also, that the crime was
not committed by maniac or for re-
venge. The fact of the ransom elimi-
mates these possibilities.
There ale two types of people police
nave to search for nova woman of
the Ruth Snyder type, with a definite
lack in her emotional makeup, and
man or men who, while not profess
Slonal killers" are emotionally of the
killer type.
Proposes Reward.
1t would seem sensible at this time
for large reward to be offered for
the apprehension of the criminals, not
only to spur police activity, which hard
ly seems necessary in view of the gen.
eral indignation, but to create fear and
distrust among the murderers of the
Lindbergh baby. With the lure of huge
rewards for evidence, members of the
group Will begin to suspect one an
other. and may possibly even come to
blows
I have refused many requests to COM
ment on the Lindbergh case thus far
for obvious reasons. Now I feel that
the discovery Of the child's body has
removed these restrictions, but l still
feel that it is unethical for me to go
into any greater details as to how
fruitful investigation can be conducted

ELISA Landi in Fox Film
With Wesley Eddy on Stage.

AN ingenious murder story, with
- situations which give some sur
prising turns to the plot. presents
ELISA Landi under circumstances
which are favorable to appreciation
of her exceptional qualities in the
film at Loew's Fox Theater. Per-
sonality is stamped upon her acting,
and in The Woman in Room l3"
there is frequent demand upon her
emotional capacity, while the less
striking scenes illuminate her nat
ural fitness for the display of the
normal character Of an alert and
forceful person.
Mystery marks the development OF
this dramatic work. one of the i'm
pressive incidents of which centers
in the sacrifice of a wife. who, in a
court room scene, accepts the dis
grace Of conduct of which she is not
guilty in order to save her husband
from punishment by furnishing the
motive of the unwritten law. The
dictaphone is used extensively in
connection with various plots, and
the force of a public trial is added
to the dramatic moments of the play.
Miss Landl is aided by the excel
lent work of Ralph Bellamy. Neil
Hamilton and Myrna 10y, while roles
of less importance but interest to an
audience are played by Gilbert Ro-
land, Walter Walker. Louis Alberni
and Charles Grapewin. The produc-
ton is stronger than Miss Landi'S
last offering here.
One most important part of the
Fox show is the return of Wesley

NEW YORK, May IA (NANA0-
Discovery CT the Lindbergh baby, MUIR
dered, has brought the kidnapers closer
, to capture than all clues combined since
the crime was committed. Aside from
ripping the lid off the investigation and
stimulating the police to new efforts.
the circumstances under which the body
was found narrow the scope of the in
quiry.
1t is apparent now, believe. that the
Sourland Mountains. which held the
secret of the murder of Col. Lindbergh'S
infant son for 70 days, must hold also
the clue to the identity OF the GRIM
inalS. This seems a logical deduction
to follow the significant fact that the
body was hidden only a relatively short
distance from the Lirldbergh home
In case Of this sort thousand and
one possibilities occur Immediately to
an investigator from the few facts at
hand-the circumstances under which
the crime was committed, the ladder
the place where the r.nsom was paid
The only way to arrive at success is
to select the most plausible theory, that
seems to fit all the circumstances, and
investigate along those lines.
Time of Murder Important
The first point to be decided is
whether the child was murdered the
night of the kidnapping. If the coroner
cannot determine this. expert woodsmen
should be and probably have been put
to work to try to discover evidence how
long ago the child was buried.
From my own experience, I know
that the time of greatest danger for
a kidnapped person is not Immediately
after the crime, but in the days fol-
lowing, when the living evidence be-
comes an increasing liability That is
why kidnapped people are frequently re-
leased without any ransom being paid.
1t happened that these persons fell
into the hands of crooks who, known
collouuially as killers" would act diff
ferently If they became alarmed, be-
lieving as they do that dead men-espe-
cially dead children-tell no tales
If it can be proved that the child was
slain a day or more after the kidnapping
the field of the inquiry is much mar
rowed. It must occur to every one that
the kidnapers. once they had left tie
vicinity, would never return. Then il
must follow, from the discovery of the
body that the kidnapers never left the
vicinity at all and quite probably are
still in the Sourland Mountains-a
place that could have furnished them
sufficient security during the intensive
search that followed the abduction.
NeighbOrhOOd Criminals Suspected.
There is p strong possibility the crim-
inals were familiars of Sourland Noun
tains. The fact of the ladder having
been made by man who, while not an
expert carpenter, was familiar with
tools; the circumstances surrounding
the crime, the fact that the. ransom was
transferred in uptown Mo- York "a
place which, to the criminal mind, does
not suggest New Jersey and yet is not
too far away to make lengthy absence

around this version), the box office
totals should triple that amount be-
fore many moons have waned.
The arguments which are currently
going the rounds as to who does the
best work in the picture have been
entered into with light-hearted fury
bv this department. A. the present
moment (and after the second Sit
ting we are inclined to believe that
Lionel Barrymore and Greta Carlo,
in the order named, deserve the
highest medals of valor, Mr..
BARRYMORE, because he interprets
Kringelein after his own fashion
Cunlike the book and the play and
vet still magnificently), and Miss
Garbo, because being the last person
in the world who should play the
role of a ballet dancer, and looking
alternately uglier and handsomer
than she ever has before. she
dominates the pictures at the
moment she enters it.
The other stars" are. however,
no slouches. Joan Crawford, some
what miscast, nevertheless does a
fine piece of acting. ditto Wallace

Then there are Lewis Stone. Jean
HerSholt and half dozen others to
prove to you that MG-M used most
every one on their lot except Norma

mon Novarro.
While the players, directed with
bewildering excellence by that past

mentioned particularly. The man

Nancy Carroll in New Type
OF Role at Metropolitan.
NANCY CARROLL, cast in a little
more womanly and less imma-
ture character than sometimes has
fallen to her lot. plays the part of
Daisy in "Wayward" at the Metro
politan Theater with a fine sense of
the fitness Of things. Although the
well known Carroll verVe and fire
are a little subdued. they are none
the less convincing, and she rises to
the emotional demands made in cer-
tain scenes IN a manner made even
more impressive by the restraint she
has used in general in the play.
Richard Arlen. as the mother
pecked son and the second husband
of Daisy, David Frost, driven to
jealousy almost against his will by
the insinuations of his mother and
the very definite plotting of the man
he superseded in Daisy's domestic
life, is forceful and Hkable, even
when most misled. The happy de-
nouement at the end of the story
brought applause from the audience
yesterday.
Pauline FREDERICK, as Mrs. Frost,
mother of David, pictures a too dom
mating mother love with strong de-
lineation, and Bob Litel is satisfac-
tory in the small but disturbing part

Daniels. Other characters in the
story were Margale Gilmore, as
Louise Daniels; Burke Clarke, as

Ex-STUDENT To

FOR BANDITRY
Baker viii Pass Sentence
Next Week on Young Man
Who Robbed Bus.

Lawrence A. White, former But
Ter university student, charged with
robbing a bus driver. was found
guilty today by Criminal Judge
Frank P. Baker.
After Professor Ray F'resner of
the Butler staff and Whites former
instructor, joined Whites parents
in request to Baker to show
leniency TO the ex-student, Baker
declared White must serve part of
ten-year sentence in prison.
Police captured White March 5,
his twenty-flrst birthday, after a
long chase after the youth held up
Roy Hutchinson, of 5235 Altha ave-
nue., fleeing with a money changer,
which he lost in the chase.
The youths parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
William T. White. of 1405 Hamilton
avenue, said they believed their son
staged the robbery to get funds to
re-enter school. He was forced to
leave a year ago because of the
financial condition of the family,
they said. He now is paying part
of the expenses of a brother at
tending an Iowa university, they
told Baker.
Baker said sentence will be pro-
nounced next week.
