To-day-When Warner Brothers
produced '"The Jazz Singer" the
first all-talking motion picture, the
film industry was revolutionized.
Comes the next great advance, in
Becky Sharp" now upon us. The
current feature contains much that
is pretty, some that is beautiful,
and, buried beneath its pigments,
an excellent screen version of the
Thackerary classic, or at least of
the play adapted from it by Lam
don Mitchell. Just as the Warner
Brothers are down on the books as
the introducers of sound, so Pion-
eer Pictures, or Jock Hay Whitney,
bring to US the first feature film in
the glorious new technicolor. But
in all the excitement and hub-bub
over this event, one fears that
sight may be lost of the excellence
of the film in other respects.
Cheers are likewise in order for the
admirable performance of Miriam
Hopkins as Becky, and for the su-
perlative direction of Reuben Ma

rectors in the business, who DEM

 All the way from England to Haifa, north eastward of the canal, war ships of all sizes are steaming through the Mediterranean. There is an occasional troopship, and It, tie groups of airpalnes and flying boats are reported sporadically fly ing over southern Europe.
 Base of Compact
 Gibraltar and Malta are taking some endorsements. But AleXan- dria, 147 miles west of Suez, is be- coming the base for a compact, efficient fleet that is ready for any development.
 United Press reports indicate that If the League of Nations votes for penalties against Italy in event of an attack on Ethiopia. Britain may be ready to blockade not only the Canal but the straits of Gibral- tar.
 It is emphasized in authoritative quarters that Britain is seeking peace, not war, and that the spe- cific nature of any penalties that might be imposed has not even been discussed officially.

PREFERIO ROSA JAILED, FINED
Threw Acid on Dresses of His Landlady-Thirty
 Days, $50 and Costs

Found guilty of malicious injury to private property by throwing acid on several dresses owned by his landlady, Preferio Rosa, 45, of 122 Ridge street, was today given a jail sentence of 30 days and fine of $50 and costs. The complainant was Mrs. Mary Rebriro, who charged that last week Rosa, while no one else was in the house, sprin- kled acid on three of her dresses and a skirt, ruining the clothing completely.
 The garments, displayed in court, were covered with Jagged holes and obviously of no further use to their owner. Mrs. Rubriro claimed that yesterday Rosa sent her $25 to pay for the dresses, but that she re- fused to accept the money.
 Rosa declined to take the stand in his own defense in city court this morning, and Judge Mascolo then imposed the sentence. Attor- ney Ralph Coppetto said he would appeal to the court of common pleas.
 Mrs. Rubriro said that Rosa had boarded at her home for> some time. She could not advance any reason for the acid-throwing. She was out of the house last Friday. she testified today, and when she came back she found her dresses ruined.

 BY ACCUSED MAN
So He Refuses to Quit Poe lice StatiOn-Will Be
 Tried Monday

Held here for New York city po- lice since August 18th, and during that time persistently refusing to waive extradition, Frank Mario, 2S, refused to leave the local police station last night even when served with extradition papers. No further action to force Mario to go to New York can be taken till Monday, au- thorities said today, at which time Mario is slated for another city court hearing on a charge of being a fugitive from justice. When ar raigned Monday he can be ordered by the court to go to New York, and police can be empowered tc make him go if he continues to re- fuse to go peaceably.
 Wanted In New York
 Mario is wanted in New York to face charges of burglary and lar ceny. He has been sought since 1882, when, known as Frank Lon ardelli, he skipped heavy bond WHllS ldCluS lTldl III hlHbS Souilpy court, New York. He was arrested here, and identified as the New York fugitive by his fingerprints. An assault charge placed against Mario here has been nolled, local police withdrawing in favor of the New York changes.
 The extradition papers, signed by Governor Herbert Lehman of New York and Governor Wilbur L.. Cross of Connecticut. were served on Mario in his cell last night by Detective Raymond Studwell of the metropolitan police.
 Mario Persistent
 When first identified as the fugi- tive Lonardelli, Mario fiatly refused to waive extradition. At subse- quent appearances in court he like wise refused to leave this state. Last week, Detective John Boylan of New York came here to report that extradition proceedings had been almost completed. That day, Mario was asked in city court by Judge John F. McGrath if he would waive extradition and return with the detective. Marlo's answer was a decisive "No".
 Since his arrest, Mario has been unable to raise bonds of $5,000.
