POLL PALACE THEATER

Cherrio, you folk, who think you have tasted the last word in talkic thrills! New spine tingling excite ment awaits you to-day on the Poll Palace screen in "Skyscraperc Souls.' A symphony in steel of struggle-humanity fighting for existence K. youth battling age for success, for love the drama of the greatest building in the greatest. city of the world. Some will find a trace of the "Grand Hotel" theme in it .. :. this mingling of human hearts and hopes, desires and despairs. But it is all-American. this new film, and 1t has for it's screen william something 1,248 feet tall. It is the building itself, but the human cast rejoices in such names as Warren William, Maureen. Q Sullivan, Veree Tcasdaie (and let us pause to as- sure you that this newcomer will win your praise), Anita Page, Wall lace Ford, Norman Foster. Jean Hersholt, Geofge Barbier. Hedda Hopper, Gregory Ratoff, William Morris and John Marston. to count only few. \
 There are plots and counter plots among these but the real "heavy'' of the tale is the giant building which serves as the background for "Skyscraper Souls. All the ex- citement of the tahsie takes place in and around the building itself. Pride of its possession. the strug- gle to retain 1t in which friend ships and fortunes are broken are the great motifs. Brought to- gether by the fact that they work 1 in various offices of the building, the human characters, each oi whom Is Q drama in himself, find themselves plunged into the tensest of tragedies, the sweetest of TO- mances, the most cruel of games the most sordid of plots by the very fabric of the building cold as it's stone and steel It's problem is made up of the individual problems of these various occupants. finally
 and suddenly brought together in g storm of disaster and tragedy. One moment the slsyscraper is throb.

LA GRANGE, Ga, Dec. 10. =
Warden John Howell Hardy, Jr., of
the Troup county chain gang from
which Robert Elliott Burns, author
of Il Am a Fugitive From Chain
Gang" escaped, left today for At
lanta enroute to Newark, N j., to
return Burns here to resume his
sentence in a road camp.
The former Chicago publisher
who escaped twice from Hardy's
chain gang while serving a to
10 year sentence for robbery of a
grocery store was arrested in New
ark late yesterday and held for
Georgia authorities as a fugitive
from justice.
Hardy appeared totally unmoved
by the capture of his former pri-
soner, who has become one of the
most famous fugitives in the coun-
try.
The warden feels that Burns
book, describing the alleged hor-
rors of his gang camp, may be
good story, but that it is lacking
in veracity.
Burns touched up the story and
made himself appear hero" Har-
dy said. He spoke in the slow,
smooth drawl of a middle Georgia
, Cracker. There wasn't anything
daring about his escape.
HE was a trusty and water boy
for the gang. He was away from
all the guards sometimes as long
as an hour because he had to ar
range for water supply. When he
escaped he had plenty OF time to
make a getaway before the guards
( became suspicious. He just walked
off and never came back"
] Hardy charged Burns created out
( of his mind many of the tortureS
! he described in Il Am a Fugitive
! From a Georgia Chain Gang"
I No Sweat Box
I'VE do have stocks at the camp
Hardy said, But. we never have
had a sweat box have been in
charge of the camp since 1918 Dur
ing that time no prisoner ever was
I whipped, as Burns said in his book
HE was a pretty good prisoner
! We had very little trouble with
him, except that he escaped twice
Hardy said that Burns publish
I ed statements that if he ever was
captured and returned, the guards
would make his life unbearable
were entirely without foundation
There will be no extra punish
ment," the warden declared. 81
don't know what the prison COM
I mission will decide, but usually ar
escape adds one year to the mini
mum period of sentence. For in.
stance-Burns was sentenced 7 tt
I 10 years. His first escape makes his
minimum sentence years and the
second would make year mini.
mum.
I'm fact Hardy added, "about
the only true part of the book il
the fact that Burns really is a fu.
gitive."
Burns was convicted on a charge
Of robbing a grocery store. He anc
two confederates allegedly stole {
total of $3.50 in cash from the stort
register. That was $193 for eacf

tied during the trial that his con.
