bungalow"
After the killing, Mrs. Judd de-
clared, the man sent her away
and summoned a physician, who
cut up the two bodies and
packed them in trunks.
Later she transferred the parts
of the bodies to suitcase and
together with the trunks shipped
them to Los Angeles. She rode
to Los Angeles on the same
train with the bodies.
The doctor declared by Mrs.
Judd to have dismembered the
bodies has since died.
The grand jury's action in
ordering Mrs. Judd brought here
from the State prison at Florence
followed promises by Mrs. Judd
and her husband, DR.. w. c..
Judd, World War veteran, to tell
everything" in an effort to save
Mrs. Judd from the gallows.
The subpoena for Mrs. Judd
was issued within a few hours
after the Arizona State supreme
court had denied defense counsels
petition for a rehearing on the
high tribunals denial of a new
trial for Mrs. Judd.
Mrs. Judd did not know why
she was being taken from con-
demIled row in the State prison
until she was en- route to Phoenix.
Dr.. Judd, who had come here from
the veterans hospital at Whip
pie, Ariz., to aid counsel attempt
to save his pretty wife from the
moose, likewise was surprised at
the grand jury'S action.
Before Phoenix learned that
Mrs. Judd was back in the city
she had been taken from Sheriff
McFadden's car to the grand jury
room where the jurors and
County Prosecutor Lloyd Andrews
awaited her.
Mrs. Judd Hopeful
Mrs. Judd smiled as she en-
gagged in conversation with her
husband after spending six hours
in the grand jury room.
They appeared confident that
the full story of the double
trunk murder" would absolve her,
at least in part, for the crime,
and pave the way for a petition
for communication Of the death
sentence.
The Jury remained in session
after Mrs. Judd had departed
and then adjourned until today.
Mrs. Judd, Mrs. Leroi, and Miss
Hedvig Samuelson had been
friends in Phoenix at a hospital.
The motive for the crime always
has remained a mystery and fol-
lowed a quarrel on October 16,
1881.
The murder was revealed few
days later in Los Angeles when
baggage clerk, seeing blood drip
ping from a trunk and believing
that the trunk contained contra
band veniSon, summoned authori-
ties. Mrs. Judd herself made an
effort to claim the trunks, but
disappeared when suspicion was
aroused.
Did Not Take Stand

several days later and revealed
that she had been hiding in cot

"Once in Lifetime" Proves To Be
Fine SatiricaI Movie
By ANDREW r. KELLEY

|
"Once in q Lifetime" is a dandy
movie for the reason that Holly
wood has made no effort to i'm.
prove upon Playwrights George S
Kaufman and Moss Hart.
The play twitted the film indus
try numerically, bristled with
sharp stabS at the studio mighty,
with stinging assaults on a bust
ness that thrived although ap-
parently fed by dull witted clods
in an atmosphere OF. slightly mad
hurly-burly.
Producer Laemmle took the
manuscript as written and let it
go at that. The result which you
may witness on the Rialto Theater
screen is a pretty hilarious piece
of celluloid easily recommended
for those who crave laughs and
enjoy seeing a satirical barb, tip
ped with acid, hit the fun bulls
eye.
Become Famous
"Once In a Lifetime" tells of a
small.time vaudeville team which
dropped the six-a-day to make hay
with the talking pictures. One is
smart girl who conceives the
idea of opening an elocution
school. Her two male partners
are reasonably stupid qualities
guaranteed to register in the pic
ture world. d
They arrive in Hollywood press
agented as new geniuSeS by a
friendly chatter writer. Soon
their school is prospecting. George,
whose greatest talent is for
munching Indian nuts, becomes a
supervisor, makes the wrong pic
ture, which, by a quirk of fate,
becomes colossal production.
Hollywood's propensity for con-
ferences. for wasting money, for
studio red tape, for turning vapid
beauty into stars. for ignoring
writing talent and for generally
eXalting ignorance and executive
toe-kisSing, is brutally lampooned.
This Producer Glogauer of "Once
In a Lifetime" lives close to i'm
becility, but somehow manages to
transpose mistakes into dividends.
Some Good Acting
This is all a gorgeous kick in
the trousers for Hollywood and
Aline Mac Mahon happens to

The Washington times., 1932-10-21

takes the top honors in the sharp
shooting barrage. Jack Oakie is
the Indian nuts director who
stumbles into riches. He is well
cast and scores impressively.
Gregory Ratoff, Onslow Stew
ems, Russell Hopton, Sidney Fox,
Robert McWade, and Jobyna
Rowland are others who aid in
developing laughs. For the first
time in many pictures Zasu Pitts
fails. She was not the right Sc
lection for the studio secretary.
Louise Fazenda has played
in so many slapsticks she car
ries over the burlesque teen
nique to the chatter column
ist role thus running what was
meant as a Satirical etching.
The Russell Mack direction is
fast and the satirical story is
smoothly told. "Once in a Life
time" proves that Hollywood "can
take it," It can laugh at it's own
jokes and is glad to pass them
on for all to enjoy.
