CRIME FILM IS
 STATE OFFERING
Journal of a Crime Starring Ruth Chatter
 ton, Starts To-day

Ruth Chatterton will hold the center of attention on the screen of Warmers State theater starting to-day when her new dramatic hat, Journal of a Crime" has it's premiere showing. It is said to afford her the greatest opportunity of her career to display her un- usual dramatic talents.
 The picture is based on a pow erful drama by the noted French playwright, Jacques Deval, and depicts the effect of a murder on a woman of fine instincts and deli cate sensibilities who kills an un- scrupulous rival because she is wrecking her home. Not that the picture is purely psychological study by any means, for there is plenty of action, beginning with the staying of q popular musical star in theater during rehearsal the chase and capture of a crim- inal in the files, and winding up with climax that is said to have one of the most novel twists ever conceived for the screen.
 Miss Chatterton has the role of the murderess who loves her hus- band, 8 part played by Adolphe Menjou, with such desperation she can't bear to give him up for an other. Menjou, really in love with his wife, but so infatuated by the star of his musical show that he is ready to break up his home, eventually finds that love again through one of the most unusual incidents.
 Claire Dodd has the role of the home -wrecker who pays for 1t with her life, while Noel Madison plays the part of a murderer, who also is accused of killing the star be- cause he is caught in the theater. Douglas Dumbrille is the prosecu- tor who sends tse assassin to the guillotine,. and George Barbier is the producer in whose theater the tragedy occurs.
 Others in the cast include Henry O'Neill, Phillip Reed, Henry kol- ker, Frank Reicher, Edward Mc- Wade, Walter Pidgeon, Frank Darien, Clay Clement and Else Janssen.
 The more dramatic scenes take place in the theater during re- hearsals of a musical show, which also affords an intimate insight into the backstage life of Partisan theatrical folk. Other sequences take place in fashionable Partisan home, in the prosecutor's office, behind the grim walls of the famous Sante prison, in the gay cafes and night clubs and on the French Riviera.
 The companion feature is Lets Be Ritzy," delightful comedy oi young newlyweds blufiing their way through life amid a series of laugh provoking situations that afford delightful entertainment to audi ences who see it. Lew Ayres Is starred and in the supporting cast are such favorites as Patricia Ellis Frank McHugh and Hedda Hop-

Paul Muni, veteran of innuml- able stage and screen successes comes to the Alhambra Theater Sunday in his latest Warner Bros picture, ''Hi Nellie!"
 The story by Roy Chanslor. a newspaper man, deals entirely with newspaper work and news paper characters in their contact with the outside world in the gathering of the sensational stories of the day.

THOUGHTS OF
A FISHERMAN
BY
Ike Walton, Redivivus

Mrs. Roosevelt mentioned the
number of major crimes per year
in America as we'll over two
hundred thousand. Including the
minor types would swell the fig
ure probably to half-a-million. |
have not seen an authoritative es
innate of the number of GRIM
inals, but it can hardly be less
than a million, without consider
ing the annual increment. That
this is a highly conservative esti-
mate may be inferred from no.
ting that it means practically one
in a hundred Of the population,
or a hundred for a city of ten
thousand people. That makes
pretty strong incubation of the
body polite.
1t ought to go without saying
that poverty cannot be greatly
reduced without crime reduction.
The problem cuts both ways.
Reduce proverty, reduce crime;
reduce crime, reduce poverty.
But it must be said that pow
ertv is by no means the sole, or
even the major cause Of crime.
Look at insult, Sinclair, Fall,
Capone and all the rest of the
gold-coast gangsters. Greed has
as much to do with crime as hum
ger. Vulgar, low-born and low
bred ours trying to masquerade
as st. Bernards steal more bones
than the forlorn lost dogs of the
streets. We must not forget this.
Of all the hellish facts about the
worst side of human nature the
falling Of a poor negro for
stealing a chicken and the filming
of rich nabob for stealing a
fortune is one of the most sui
phuric.
But back to our muttons. How
time changes such things by any
system other than the slow pro-
cess of moral upward evolution,
if indeed it is upward? Forum
ately, there is an analogy in ma
ture for sudden Jumps upward
in social Improvement. 1t is the
biological principle of mutation,
made famous by the great Dutch
botanist, DeVrieS. Plants and
animals do make immense strides
in short time. Cannot man.

NEWSPAPERS OPINION

Freedom of the press in Russia Italy and Germ
any means freedom to print what dictator, Stain,
Mussoin Hitler and their crowd want printed.
No editor would dare to print the real truth about
the administration in either of these three boss
ridden countries. He would soon find his shop shut
up and himself in Jail. There is no free speech In
either Russia, Italy and Germany and naturally So.
Freedom to write and freedom to talk go hand in
hand. Dictators are against both privileges In
the United States folks can write say pretty
much any thing they want to and some of them
greatly abuse the privilege. Even this is better
though than a muzzled press and crowed people.

err have Senator Glass do? Throw his in,
| formation and understanding of the prob
lem to the winds, adopt the policy OF a
man who probably knows only fraction
as much about the money question as Glass
knows. and back that mans policy simply
because that man happens to be President
and it seems to be the popular course to
get behind him, blindly, and endorse every
thing he suggests?
The Times-News' answer to this ques-
ton can be predicted in advance by all
readers who are familiar with the princi-
pies and policies of this newspaper.
Senator Glass, as an intelligens, in
formed, honest public servant cannot adopt
the policy suggested by The Observer. As
an honest man and public servant, the only
course open to him is that of standing by
his convictions and supporting the policies
he believes are for the best interests of the
country as a whole.
If a majority of United States Senators
and Congressman were men Of the charac-
ter and calibre of Senator Glass, there
would be a different story to be written
into history when the record of these times
goes down.
The Times-News knows precious little
about money and monetary problems; bat
the editor of this newspaper, for more
than forty years, has not been numbered
with the blind devotees of the gold stand
ard and does not believe that the greatest
good to the greatest number can be Sc
cured by adherence to the monetary poll
cies that have been labelled Wall Streets
policies in the past In the good old days
The Times-News editor was Bryan Dem
ocrat." We believe much of what is taking
place in the country today vindicates the
views and principles Of the great Common
er By no stretch of the imagination could
we be classed with the gold Standardites,
the money barons or the Wall Street
crowd and we do not believe that Senator
Glass belongs to any of these classes. We
believe he is an honest, sincere friend CT
the American people as a whole, an able
and honest public servant, who is seeking
the greatest good for the greatest number
of his fellow citizens. In the present con-
troversy, if compelled to take a position
with Roosevelt or with Glass, The Times
News would be disposed to step over on
Roosevelts side; but we offer no criticism
of Glass for standing by convictions which
are based on information, experience, and
knowledge of the subject which is said to
excel that of any other American citizen.

WEST END CITIZENS
SEEKING BOYS CLUB
Report From Superintendent Of
Police to Be Heard at
October Meeting.

Maj. Ernest W. Browns idea Of
establishing boys clubs in police
precincts throughout the city has
caught fire again-this time in the
western part of the city.
At a recent meeting of the West
End Citizens Association the idea
came up for discussion when J. H.
Gerone spoke of the growing need for
such an organization in the West End
Ito get our boys off the streets" and
pointed to the apparent success of
the club established some time ago
in No. police precinct.
THE first step will be to take the
matter before Maj Brown and also
Capt Kelly of No. 3 precinct to find
out if, for any reason, club could
not be established in No. precinct.
Then if the idea is approved, We can
earnestly start to work on it."
After the association unanimously
approved the plan. Gerone was ap-
pointed by President Robert D. Lyons
as a committee of one to place the
plan before Maj Brown and Capt.
Kelly and make a report at the
October meeting.
Gerone is anxious to have the sup
port of as many residents as possible
when he goes before the police officials
and requests that all who favor the
boys club idea get in touch with him
at an early date. He can be reached
at Metropolitan 2142. He lives at 600
Twentieth street.
