When DR.. Street arrived at
Prescott's office today after being
taken from the office of Chief of
Police Alvey A. MoXley, he COM
mented on the case as follows:
"The treatment given Mrs.
r. L. Britton was prepared by
me and was identical with treat.
mentS which / have been using
for Is years, in hundreds of
cases, for the treatment and
cure of cancer by me personally
and by other registered phySi'
clans with me.
"The cause of her death was
without question due to cancer
complications which made any
treatment ineffective. Her
death was not hastened by the
treatment. She would have
died with or without the treat
ment.

originating the cure. 1t was

clan in the West. 1 learned
through him in connection with
the cure of lady in Baltimore.
She was permanently cured,
after several Baltimore Spe-

Both doctors expressed appre-
citation for the way their former

progressed too far for successful

John Barrymore
Is Fea tured in
Reunion in Vienna
SIDE CHANCES

Considerable interest attaches it.
self to the screen translation OF Rob-
ert E. SherWood's stage masterpiece,
Reunion in Vienna" which supplied
Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne with
one Of their most successful vehicles.
The talking picture version of the
noted play will be shown starting to-
day at the Paramount Theatre with
John Barrymore starred and Diana
Wynyard, of "Cavalcade' fame, in
the leading feminine role.
Reunion in Vienna is regarded by
Metro Goldwyn-M Mayer as one of its
most important undertakings of the
current season, which may we'll be
credited in view of the plays pheno-
menal success and the wide discussion
1t created when produced under the
auspices of the Theater Guild.
In order to achieve as smooth a
translation as possible in shifting the
drama from the medium of stage to
screen. the author himself went to
Hollywood to superintend the changes
called upon by the larger scope of the
pnotoplay. 1t Is said, however, that
the play remains essentially the same
as when produced on Broadway, the
original version being elaborated on
only to add movement and spectacle
not made possible within the narrow
confines of the stage.
The screen adaptation was written
by Ernest Vajda and Claudine West,
who were responsible for the scripts
Of "Smilin' Through" Private Lives"
and THE Guardsman." The director
was Sidney Franklin, who also direct
ed the three aforementioned pictures.
