 Patrick Moylan and Fred Hickey entered the place they found them selves not only the center of at- traction, but actually in the center of a gang of patrons, who had formed first line of defense to prevent them from scoring any touchdowns at the expense of the management. In few minutes fists were flying and there was a great exodus of guests through the front door. After the scrimmage was over the police discovered that someone had changed moonshine into water and the visit was noth- ing more than a social call, but not a friendly one. es
 At 510 North Main street. a "brand new restaurant" was dis covered. There were no "eats" in evidence, but a few pots and pans and dishes had been moved into the place. About two quarts of alcohol, some strong wine and several bottles of beer were seized. An attempt was made to show that the place had yet to open for busi- ness and that the refreshments were intended for the men who were helping the proprietor to move in. Anastas Nikituk, 39, of that address admitted that he was in charge. He was fined $50 and costs with the comment from the court that the fine would have been greater if he had secured a start in business. The cook of the place was found asleep on a coach7.One patron wa sasleep In q chair, the picture of contentedness, while an- other was endeavoring to read the latest Wall street quotations from a newspaper.
 Joseph Maucino, 53. of 459 North Main street was fined $100 and costs. Six gallons of hard cider, some colored alcohol and some beer were seized. Patrolman Car son testified that the establish ment was a "hang out" for young men. Mucino after court expressed himself willing to go to jail as he had no funds.
 Joseph Timsygke, 37, of 703 South Main street was found in possession of 286 bottles of beer. Ills counsel asked for analysis of the beverage to determine its alco- holic content.
 The case of Adolph Harold, 32. of 320 North Main street. who is accused of charging in excess of 12 per cent interest on note of $500 will be tried on June 23rd. He was notified yesterday when a warrant was issued for his arrest. One Felix Brovick is the complaining wit ness.
 Cleopaus Whedbee, 32, colored of 983 North Main street, slapped and punched his wife around their home last evening for not attend ing to her household work and having the door locked when he returned home. He was given 10 days in jail to learn q few rules of eiquette and to curb his tenn per. One of the children had locked the screen door. Mrs Whed- bee testified.

Barry Connors is the author
of THE Unexpected Husband" :"
He will be remembered by the
atergoers as the author of THE

real comedies of the American
stage, "Applesauce."
In his latest play Barry Con-

of fun, real frivolity.
The plot of the play is laid in
Manhattan, where a young Texas
girl, fresh from the ranch, comes
with the intention of matrimony.
Her idea of a real husband is
a playboy of the West Forties,
and her father, not liking this
type, follows the girl with the
intention of breaking up "the
affair" Plenty of complications
follow. The old man, naturally,
is adamant-and the girl, though
she loves her father, is equally
determined that he will not be

Picture

Lights, cameras, music; all the
colorful gaiety so necessary to
movie premieres, attended the
first showing of Carl Laemmle's
newest masterpiece, The Doomed
Battalion"
1t is a masterpiece of pictorial
achievement, some of the most
beautiful camera work the screen
has had in a long time.
The story is a chapter from
the history of the World War;
the locale is a mountain strong
hold in the Dolemite Alps; the
principal characters are a Tyrol
mountain climber, his italian
friend and guest and the lovely
wife of the former. A simple
tale of a peaceful village where
the horror of war struck with
a vengeful hand, making enemies
of erstwhile friends and proving
the mettle of which soldiers are
made. The long seige of the
mountain fortification, the des-
perate means Of routing by the
enemy, the despair and hopeless
ness of the doomed men. under
orders to hold the position until
the last man died. all tell tale
of heroiSm.

HOLLYWOOD, April 30.-Yes-
terday morning, Gay Cooper
walked into the office of B. P.
Schulberg with the sangfroid OF
a man who recently has shot two
lions and side-Stepped a charming
rhinoceros.
When he came out a half hour
later, there was a grin on his
face and he went on handshak-
ing tour of the offices.
And so diSsipate the last re-
manning doubts of his reconcilia-
ton with Paramount.
Gary tells me the studio has
promised to use more care in
choosing his stories and has
given him to understand that he
won't have to make so many pic
lures in the future. That last
year before his illness, and un-
doubtedly it was a contributing
cause, Gary made eight and one
half films. Now, I understand,
he'll not get more than four.
Despite the fact that he lost
five pounds in New York, the
star still is 20 pounds heavier
than when he left Hollywood.
He's feeling fine and before he
goes to work on Devil in the
Deep" he'll undertake to find a
house where he can set up the
trophies of his African trip.
That is, all except his pet chin
panzee, Tolucca, which is now
occupying part of a suite at the
Roosevelt Hotel, but which will
be relegated to the ZOO in the
near future.

that Jackie, although II, has
never been able to discard his

However, Roberts cast name in
