THRILLER OPENS AT THE CAPITOL
 THIS EVENING
Robert Montgomery Heads Notable Cast of 'Mys-
 tery of Mir. K

A new ana exciting picture opens tonight at the Capitol Theatre. It is a murder mystery thriller of the first water a product of Metro Goldwyn-Mayer entitled Mystery of MT. K"
 Robert Montgomery stars in the role of Revel, suave gentleman crook. Elizabeth Allan is his lead ing lady. She is Jane, daughter of the Chief Commissioner of Scot land Yard-which in itself gives some idea of the scope of the new film.
 Based on the Crime Club novel, Mystery of the Dead Police" by Philip Macdonald, it is as excit- ing in picture form as it was in the widely read novel. Edgar Sel- wyn did surpassing good job of directing.
 The picture is concerned chiefly with the hair-raising machinations of the murderer "X', who consist ently notifies the newspapers by postcard when he is about to strike, then laughs at them later. London policemen are his victims and all the vast resources of Scotland Yard are shown focused on activi- ties for his arrest.
 Revel Robert Montgomery steals the famous Drayton dia- mond, intending to capture "X", plant the gem on his body, then claim the enormous insurance com pany reward.
 That he falls in love with the Commissioners daughter, is en- tertained by her father, is suspected by Scotland Yards -sleuth and leads a life generally charm ing and adventurous adds glamor and excitement to this fine mo- tion picture.
 Lewis Stone is the super -sleuth and Henry Stephenson the Chief Commissioner. Each, as usual, brings a finely drawn characteri- zation to the picture. Ralph Forbes Is excellent as the titled, over drinking rival for Miss Allans af- fections.
 It is thrilling motion picture and it's producers are deserving of applause.

CARL LUNDCREN

 NSTAR COACH
Illinois Loses Producer of Five Championship
 Baseball Teams

CHAMPAIGN, Sept. IA When the bells in the tower of the law building on the campus of the University of Illinois tolled requeim over the body of Carl Lundgren- the Illini's "Lundy"-they took from George Huff, Illinois athletic direc- tor, the best friend he ever had.
 "Lundy" was baseball coach at Illinois for IA years, winning his fifth Big Ten title this spring, but even more important than his coaching was his work in helping "G' with the administration of the athletic department
 George Huff taught him what he knew of the game of baseball, watched him develop into star on the diamond while still on the campus here, and then go on to professional fame with the Chicago Cubs after he was graduated. "Lun- dy" also played football under "G"
 Pitcher for the championship Chicago Cubs of 1905-06 -O8, "Lun- dy' gave up the professional game and took a job with Princeton university as assistant baseball coach. From there he went to the University of Michigan as head coach and developed teams which won the Big Ten championship in 1918-19-20, before "G' brought him back to his alma mater.
 Dangerously i'll two years ago, George Huff has not been com- p1etely well since, and it was thought that he would eventually be replaced by Lundgren But a heart attack took 'Lundy" in his 54th year, and George Huff pre- pares for another year at the head of the Illinois athletic plant alone.
 Lundgren's death came two weeks after the Illini lost the best backfield prospect for the 1884 sea- son. Ken Meenan, star at North western university several years ago, who dropped out of school at Evanston and entered Illinois, died of blood-poisoning after he was in jured in a motorcycle crash.

TORCH SINGER TOPS COLISEUM
 BILL TONIGHT
 
Claudette Colbert and Tim Mccoy Star in Double
 Header Program

Claudette Colbert, as the hard hearted queen of the night clubs, will be seen in Paramount's Torch Singer" coming tonight to the Coli scum Theatre. In the cast are Ricardo Cortez, David Manners, Lydia Roberti and Baby LeRoy.
 Also on the double feature pro- gram at the Coliseum Theatre to- night and tomorrow is Straight away with Tim Mccoy and Sue Carol a fastmoving, exciting dra- ma of automobile race tracks.
 In Torch Singer Miss Colbert makes her screen debut as a wick ed woman and delights her fans by her singing. Ralph Rainger, composer of "Moanin' Low" Here Lies Love- and Leo Robin have written a number of new songs presented by Miss Colbert in this picture. They vary from a lullaby to the hottest of wailing torch" tunes.
 The story, adapted from Grace Perkins Mike which ran in Lib erty Magazine, is Paramounts re- sponse to Miss Colbert's demand for stories of women who toy with the emotions of men.
 The Paramount star plays the role of Mimi Benton" once simply Sally Trent, now the toast of the night clubs, as dangerous as she is almring. No famous, she is trying to even the score with life, which more than once, has presented her with misfortuneS. But the thrill of applause doesn't satisfy her long ing for the child she bore and had to give up for adoption when the man she was to marry deserted her.
 A nationwide search, using all the resources that wealth have made available, fails. When the man Mimi once loved returns, learns of the birth of the child, and begs forgiveness, Mimi spurns him.
 How she finds the answer to her problem, furnishes a gripping cli- max to the story.

 this city, is a member of the legis-
 ltive commission jails which has filed a report with Governor Will bur l.. Cross urging the immedi-
 ate establishment of a community
 farm at; Glastonbury for all sen- tenced jail prisoners. Adoption of the recommendation means the
 wiping out of all county jails. The commission feels that the commun- ity farm would be good from the standpoint of social policy as well as economy and that 'it is im- perative that the farm should be
 esta blished now" $ According to the commission the saving in money would be sub- stantial and the indirect saving

 Farm Cheaper
 Operation costs for the farm would be much cheaper than those of the various county jails. in the opinion of the commission. The committee further contends as fol- lows:
 That at present society is not adequately providing individual treatment for jail prisoners. Some men have been arrested as many as 6 times without any adequate measures being taken to prevent their repeated criminal injury to society.
 2-That after an individual has shown himself to be repeated of fender against society he should be
 sent to the Glastonbury farm com munity for an indeterminate sen tence so that prolonged and ade- quate treatment could be given. 3-That 19 per cent of the jail prisoners are first offenders and that many of these can quickly be
