interruptions are easily forgotten as
the story progreSSeS-and even If 1t
seems a little mossgroWn, it is the
kind of morally stimulating saga
which is seen all too infreQuently
these days and which will undoubt-

others who prefer to look at it

Chester Morris, Sylvia Sidney,
John Wary and Ned Sparks are the
four crooks who, planning to grab
riches by the Illicit means of adver-
tislng miracle man." find them
selves eventually under his infiu-
ence-which is so strong that it
eventually revolutionizes their lives.
This transition is brought about by
the actual miracles performed by
the old patriarch (Hobart Bosworth).
A strong chronicle of faith Gas those
who have seen 1t many times prob

Chester Morris, q lkable leading

Excellent also is Sylvia Sidney "a

Lesser roles acted with especial skill
are played by Irving Pichel and
young Robert Coogan. Hobart Bos-

IN AUGUSTA COUNTY
80 Per Cent Budget Reduction to
Be Considered by Board
in May.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
STAUNTON, Va, April 30.-Augusta
County's proposed budget, laid before
the Board of Supervisors here yester-
day by its clerk, provides for a tax re-
Oction of nearly 80. per cent this year.
The budget will come up for final ac-
tion at the May meeting.
This means that Augusta County tax
payers viii pay $ll1,0O0 less than they
did in 1881. The average rate of taxa
ton in 1881 was 81 1865, while in 1882
it will be S125 6-7 or approximately
40 per cent less if the budget is
adopted.
About 80 per cent of the reduction
comes about as a result of the Byrd
plan of the State taking over all county
roads thus eliminating the county road
levy and 10 per cent from economies
effected in various county departments,
including cuts in salaries of practically
all county officers and major employees
and general cuts in almost every ap-
preparation

for second week at R-K-O Keith's,
where large audiences are daily cry
ing eyes out over it.
Told with the utmost simplicity,
acted by Ricardo CorteZ, Irene Dunno,
Anna Appel and others with con-
summate skill, this tragic tale of
young doctor who wanted to remain
loyal to the humble surroundings of
his youth. but couldn't until he had
killed his father and made his
sweetheart whole, is sad, sad fable
made to seem strikingly real by the
dexterity of its performers.
Mr.. Cortez, free from hair-oil and
arch-eyebrow-raising, does a partic-
ularly clean-cut piece of work as the
doctor who eventually had million
dollar" hands. His father and
mother, brothers and sisters. are all
true-to-type characters, who are
helped along in their acting by the
powerful musical score provided by
Max Steiner. As a new leaf in the
suddenly ambitious change of policy
in the R-K-O film kingdom, this is
a good omen for the future-even II,

No less a person than Christian
Sinding. the venerable Norwegian
composer whose "Rustles of Spring"

has at some time or other played, was
present to hear 1.-The wonder child"
perform this masters violin suite.
Touching Scene.

mediately after the rendition, the
famous septuagenarian went into the
green room to felicitate the diminutive
American lad on his masterful in
depreciation of the melodious suite
He caught the spirit of my music
excellently and did remarkably well, !"
the composer commented to the

under the tutelage of Michel Piastro,
formerly of San Francisco, now of
New York, played before an audience
comprising not only the members Of
the Berlin Press Club and their
ladies. but also the metropolitan critics
and many musical directors.
Praised by Press.
The papers were full Of praise for
the young mans technic and predicted
that as the young genius and his
emotions deepened, he would rank
as top notcher in his art. He
followed the sinding suite with violin
concerto by Max Bruch and closed
with Wieniawski's difficult "Zigeuner-
wisen"
Young Goluboff expects to remain
in Europe for some time to study and
hear recognized masters. His first
night out was to hear Bronislaw
Huberman, world famed violinist, who
himself was a prodigy in his youth.
