GEN. YEN AT NEW
 GARDEN THEATER

More advance thought, effort and preparation was put forward by columbia on it's Chinese film, The Bitter Tea of General Yen," than any other picture ever undertaken by the studio. When you see "The Bitter Tea of General Yen" today and tomorrow at the New Garden theater, an entire year will have elapsed since Columbia purchased the best selling novel by Grace Earring Stone about the romance of a repressed New England girl and fascinating Chinese War Lord. And during all of that time. the studio was continually work ing on some phase of the picture. of the cast. For the role of the New England girl, Megan Davis. who goes to China to marry mis- sionary, but is taken prisoner. by him in oriental fashion, there was only one actress MT. Capra had Tn mind--Barbara Stanwyck. For tunately, she was available, had read the book and was eager to play the part. But the choice of General Yen was q problem. Co., lumbia knew that 1t required d splendid actor, as well as man WIlH lHlillltc EOItldnOc dppcdl 'o invest the characterization with sufficient glamor to make the at traction of :!ic New England girl seem plausible. But after cOnsid- ering the roster of thirty of Hol- lywood's romantic actors the as- signment was given to Nils Asther.
 If you liked "The Thir- teenth Guest and who didn't you are bound to like Guilty or Not Guilty. the sensational Monogram murder mystery which is also on the bill. Guilty or Not Guilty" was produced by the same producer, directed by the same di- rector and adapted by the same author as "rhe Thirteenth Guest, and that should be q sure-fre recipe for success. In fact, it's even a little better than it's predecessor If such thing were possible, al- though we doubt 1t.

OTHER SIDE OF
MARATHON AND
SALAMIS FIGHT
Greek Historians Always
Claim. the Victory, But
Tablets Just Found Tell
a Different Tale

/, Chicago, June 2-U.P.) - The
other side of the story of the bat
| ties of Marathon and Salamis, o.
| 400 years ago, which Greek histor-
ians have asserted broke the pow
err of the Persian war machine,
may be deciphered from tablet dis
covered at Persepolis, DR. James
| Henry Breasted, director of Chi
cago University's Oriental institute,
revealed to-day.
Hundreds of Cuneiform tablets in
! Eiiamite, the Pre-Persian language
have been discovered, DIR Breasted
said, and may give the world for
| the first time the Persian version
of the two great battles which the
| Greeks claimed as heroic one-sided
| the entire course of civilization.
Just back from survey of work
by IL expeditions in Asia Minor,
DR. Breasted said that the findings
| this season have been the most inn
portant in recent archaeological
work.
One important discovery was an
iaqueduct, once the worlds finest.
by DIR Thorkild Jacobsen in the
Irak expedition. A 1000 foot Sec
| ton, 80 feet wide and magnificent
ly constructed, was brought to
light.
Supported on pointed arches, re-
garded as the earliest in existence
and the forerunner of the famous
Roman .aqueducts. the aqueduct
now found originally extended over
80 miles to take water from the
Kurdish mountains to Nineveh.
Sennacherib, king of Assyria,
built the aqueduct about 705 b. c.,
DR. Breasted said. Each pier con-
tains a building inscription which
signifies "Sennacherib's channel"
Z In a village along the aqueduct,
DR. Jacobsen found that natives had
handed down by word of mouth
through dozens of generations the
names of nearby towns as Senna-
cherib had listed them, though all
were changed centuries ago.
A temple sacred to Nabu, re-
ferred to in the old testament as
Nebo, was found at Khorsabad.
"Nabu was God of Writing. DR.
Breasted said. Here we have hopes
of finding important records. One
large clay tablet bears the names
of % Azsyrian kings. reaching far
behind our earliest known chron-
ology and extending up to 73s B.

Hartford, Conn. June 2-W.P.)
The municipal relief bill needed
only the signature of Governor
Wilbur L. Cross to-day to become
a law.
The bill, drafted by the house
leaders of both parties, and APP
proved by the governor, was passed
in the senate yesterday afternoon
after nearly four hours of debate.
Three democrats and IT. republ-
leans combined to pass the meas
ure, 20 to Is, after defeating all
efforts to amend it. The house
passed it Wednesday.
The bill provides that cities may
issue relief bonds and that the
state will guarantee them when
necessary. A commission is Gre
ated to direct the relief work, and
is given power to demand receiver
ship for any city that may default
its bonds. The commission also will
receive and handle federal aid.
Senator Frank S. Bergin, New
Haven, majority leader, and How
ard w. Alcorn, the republican lead
er, who with the house leaders
drafted the bill. bore the brunt of
the attack, made by the democrats.
Democratic Senators William II.
Hackett, New Haven and Edwin r.
Dimock, were the only members of
the party to stay with Bergin.
In the main the fight was be-
tween the cities and the small
towns. Senators John c. Blackall
and Joseph P. Cooney, Hartford,
David Goldstein, Bridgeport, and
William E. Hagearty, New Britain,
lead the opposition. Hagearty as
serted the republicans were hope
full some of the cities might be
forced into receivership SO their
democratic administrations would
be discredited.
The rural representation in the
lower house came in for strong at
tack from the city democrats.
1.-THE people who live in the
country should remember that they
derive great benefit from the peo-
pie in the cities, who buy their pro-
duce and build their roads with the
registrations of their many auto
mobiles" Senator Goldstein said.
"It is pretty lame for those indi-
viduals down in the house to refuse
to do anything for the municipal
