The three local youths accused of having assaulted Dennis Mo. Carthy, 65, of South Leonard street on Jan 9th, were sentenced to 30 days in the county jail at New Haven by Judge Frederick NJ. Peasley in superior court this morning. The youths, William Sweeney, 24, of 819 Bank street, John Stewart, 27, of 675 South Main street and Timothy Hanley of 55 Baldwin street, pleaded gull ty to breach of the peace charges and 1t was on these charges that the court passed sentences.
 The trio was originally charged with robbery with violence, but on being arraigned this morning, the charge was changed to breach of tho peace. States Attorney Law renee l.. Lewis who recommended the change said there was insuffi- cicnt evidence on which to prose- cute the youths on robbery counts

said the original story told officials by Mccarthy concerning the as! sault and robbery had been changed since. He stated that some- one apparently got to Mccarthy to have him change his story"
 Mir Lewis told the court tho youths beat up the aged man but that McCarthy's son said the money his father reported missing was found the next day. Mir Lewis sai,l that the youths and the victim had been drinking when the scuffle oc- cured underneath the Porter street bridge.
 Attorney Frederick c. Bauby told the court he suggested that his client plead guilty to breach of the peace charges even though there were no blows struck. He said the story of the accused that they were cscorting the aged man to his home did not remove the fact that q crowd was attracted which consti- tutes breach of the peace. The court accepted MT Bauby's sugges- ti0n

Involved in the puzzled affec-

roles are ELISA Landi and Juliette
Compton and a big cast headed by
David Terrence, Helen Jerome
Eddy. Creighton Hale and Halli-
well Hobbies.
As a background for Colman and
the strange human problem OF
"The Masquerader" there has been
provided production that gives
new life and q bright modern
touch to the famous English melo-
drama. Political turmoil, riot and
the threat Of evolution, financial
and government crises taken from
to-day's headlines are the storm
clouds that drive one man from his
position at the helm of state and
from the love Of his wife to drugs
and debauchery, Pride Of family,
patriotism and love of adventure

young cousin to the rescue.
His two roles give Colman an
opportunity to contrast drunken
ness and sobriety, sanity and At.
ness with debauchery and deprav-
ity. Unlike DIR Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

The story OF what goes on behind

vanish mysteriousiy, seemingly
from the face OF the earth, will be
revealed for the first time on the
screen today In the First National
picture, Bureau OF Missing Per-
sons" which opens at the State

The picture gives kaleidoscope
view Of the actual workings Of that
branch OF the police departments
of every large city, whose duty It Ii
to locate missing persons. The
Bureau of Missing Persons Is
haged on a book by Captain John
II. Ayres and Carol Bird. 1t re-
lates the cases that have come un-
der the captains observations in
his fifteen years as chief Of the
New York city bureau.
The many cases OF strange dis
appearances and kidnappings de-
picted In the picture are based on
those in real life as recorded by
the police. The various cases pre-.
scented, touch every form Of hu.
man emotion. Many are tragic.
some extremely pathetic and
others decidedly humorous. The
recent increase in kidnapping
prompted First National to turn
the screens spotlight on the vari-
GUS phases connected with most
disappearances.
There Is an underlying plot in
the picture that carries ono OF the
stnngest romances pictured on the
screen, the love of detective for
girl who Is missing from another
