 Chiefly the state in rebuttal had tried to show that cyanide was useless as a cleansing agent for a copper boiler, and that Fire Captain William J. Costello, father of the defendants three young children, was neither melancholy nor in mood for suicide when he died suddenly from a heavy dose of poison at his Peabody home nearly six monhts ago.
 Mrs Costello, who is still calm and optimistic after a sensational trial nearing the end of its fourth week, is alleged to have fed cyanide to her husband in a capsule so she could obtain his life insurance and continue a Iclandestine TO- mance with young policeman. She claims the cyanide she bought on the eve of her husbands death was mixed with oxalic acid, pur- chased at the same time, and used to clean a copper boiler in the kitchen of her home.
 After the state had been baked in it's efforts to show, through a Salem drugstore manager, that Mrs Costello lied when she testified that she had made cyanide pur- chase prior to the one on the eve of her husbands death, John J. Costello, Jr, elder brother of the dead man, was called as the last government rebuttal witness.
 District Attorney Hugh A. Gregg questioned Costello regarding re- marks attributed to him in the tes- timony of Andrew Fyfe. ST, father of Mrs Costello and defense wiz ness.
 Let me ask you," Gregg began, eff you said this to Andrew Fyfe, Sr-'Poor kid. poor kid, six weeks ago I noticed his condition. He had no blood in his face and no pep. I wanted to take him before a specialist in Boston. If he had taken my advice he wouldn't be there Gin the coffin) now Did you say that to Andrew Fyfe, ST"
 Costello also denied having said that there should have been an autopsy on his brother before the body was embalmed, because they would have "a hell of a time" find

Jessie Costello in the past five years?"
 "No".
 Defense Counsel Francis E. Raf- ter objected and Superior Judge Frederick w. Fosdick ordered the question and answer excluded. Have you the book which would show such sales?" Green resumed.
 "Yes," said O'Connor, indicating a black bound ledger in his hand.
 Have you examined it?" "Yes."
 'How far back?" "Five years" 'Does the book disclose such a sale?"
 Rafter again objected, and again the question was stricken out.
 "Can you say whether or not cyanide has been sold to Jessie B. Costello at any time in the last five years?" Rafter was on his feet again, and Judge Fosdick ordered the ques- tion excluded.
 9 Michael J. Murphy, attached to the Peabody city engineering de- partment, corroborated the testi- mony of City Engineer Charles H. McNeil yesterday that he saw Cos tello the afternoon before his death and the fire captain told him he never felt better in my life."
 Murphy said he, too, heard Cos te1lo make such Q remark the day before his death at the wake of a friend.
 The witness said that at the time Costello looked better to him than he did the last time they met, about two months before. When they parted at the O'Neil wake, Costello remarked that he'd "see you later" Murphy said. Asked by Rafter in cross-exam- ination how Costello's color was Murphy said Bill was always pale"
 The defense has tried to show that Costello, shortly before his death, was melancholy and in a mood for suicide.

Sam Goldwyn thinks there's been a
revival of Victorian temperament in
girls. But let him tell you:
THE last year has shown remark
able decline in divorces. Women are be-
ginning to feel friendly toward the idea
Of q bigger family. The smart young
matron who once thought of children
with fear now welcomes the idea Of her
fourth child. Maybe We are getting back
to the fashioned idea of family.
Girls, too, are leading the back to
the farm movement. The idea of living
on the farm Is taking women-and men,
too-out of cities just as surely as the
city once took them from the farm.

This is one of the many reasons why
you should see Gold Diggers of 1888"
when it comes to the Earle this week
to catch, in other words, glimpses OF
Miss Keeler before she disappears for
good. This young lady, known some
years ago in New York as just another
one of those Texas Guinan girls, and
subsequently brief Ziegfeld performer,
suddenly emerged this year on the
screen as one of the few new and ar
resting personalities. Not only do her
feet make you sit up and take notice
(there is no lady dancer who can tap
the way she CAM, but she has a smile
and a droll little face which has done
much to bowl over susceptible film Gus

1.-THE two types Of girl today are COM
pletely contrasting types. There's the
military girl who isn't masculine even
II she does wear trousers sometimes.
She has square shoulders-often broad.
The wide line Of her accentuated square
shoulders comes to a sharp angle in her
narrow waistline. She has small hips.
Lili Damita and Katharine Hepburn
are outstanding examples.
Then there's the slinky girl, will
lowy and with a figure that follows the
line of q question mark. She has stu
diously forgotten everything she should
know about how to stand. Her figure
has the aimless look of pillar of smoke
spiraling in the sky. I mean like Con-
stance Bennett or Joan Crawford"
Aside from those things Sam Goldwyn
has a couple Of neat ideas about the
shape OF forelegs. They must be more
than average long, according to LIE
Goldwyn-and We must admit he has
given us some very beautiful samples
in his musical comedies. He says Amer
ican men know more about beautiful
legs than others.
Goldwyn also thinks a good deal of
harm is done by girls tampering with
their natural color schemes He thinks
brunettes gone blond are apt to look
awry, although they are possibly blind
to this. He thinks girls become more
beautiful the world over each year
More civilized, sophisticated, polished
and graceful. They have that fine
textured and beautifully grained look
-
from the inside rather than by merely
daubing on more powder.

Mr.. Olmsted Is a master program

magnificent Satanic Poem" was given
probably its first hearing in Washington
yesterday and made one conscious how
few Of the works Of this composer find
their way to the public ear. Enthusias-
tically indorsed by many faithful fol-
lowers as well as thoroughly repudiated
by others, the compositions Of Scriabine
nevertheless remain an interesting field
for the pianist, combining, as they do,
fine pianistic effects and a wealth Of
philosophical ideas. Although 1t Is in
his smaller works that Scriabine
achieves greatest originality, the "Sa-
tanic Poem" is illustrative of his
tendency to unite r1elodic color with
derlying idea Is truly satanic, worked
out to an overwhelming climax which
Mr.. Olmsted developed effectively.
MI. Olmsted approaches his interpre-
tations In a highly Intellectual manner.
Through analysis of the constructive as
well as the interpretive form, he ar
rives at a clear conception OF each.
This artistic ability Is distinct gift
which Mr.. Olnsted possesses and 1t Is
to be regretted that his actual giving
out In q performance does not equal his
fine intellectual understanding. Mr..
Olmsted could be an unusual pianist IL
he did not, himself, block the free flow
ing communion between his mental
conceptions and the audiences recep-
ton of them. His tendency is to be
too interpretive, failing thereby to
make the thread of his ideas SO domin-
antly unbroken that it could not escape
his listeners. His technique Is adequate
to all demands, but here again, the CO.
ordination between his mental picture
and the purely mechanical expression OF
it was not uniform. Chopin's F minor

In her first screen role?
Miss Brady is, Of course, no longer
Q chicken. Way past the ingenue and
giggle days, she is now in position
where she must cater to less pink and
white creations. Last season saw her
doing well by "Mademoiselle" on Broad

her as Little Eva. But, If she is to
pursue a happy screen career, it seems
to us that she will have to change her
tactics-and not be quite so ridiculous
as she is in her first role.
Why, do you suppose, she picked

In? 1t is the sort of thing that Ali

would have been fine in. But it is
not the sort of thing that our Brady
comes naturally by. When you see

Brady rolling her eyes, clutching her

very funny. As stated, Miss Byington,
being a professional nitwit, the part
was q pleasant and easygoing lark for
her. Under Miss Brady's tutelage it
becomes q labored and heartrending

It seems curious that such compare
tive newcomers as Ann Harding and
one-time green-eyed Myrna 10y should
put such veteran actress in the shade.
Such, however, is the case. Miss
Harding is nothing short Of magnificent

are inclined to believe not only that
she is being sincere, but that she is do
