Ends Budget Study
Behind the President, despite
a fair amount of loafing around
the Warm Springs Foundation,

packed quite a bit of work
both official and political. He
has virtually completed his study
of the budget here, he has laid
his plans to keep the legislative
program at a strict minimum in
the coming Congress, and last
Friday in Atlanta he made an
important political speech which
virtually keynoted his reelection
campaign.
Today, two pouches of mail
were due to arrive in Washing

"Positive Evidence"

While they ostensibly center
their work at Upper Marlboro,
Loring murder investigators have
been holding secret sessions in
Washington and Mt. Rainier
which have produced positive evil
dence pointing toward the muir
derer, The Washington Times
learned from an authoritative
source today.
States Attorney Alan Bowie,
Lieut.. Joseph Itzel and Detective
Sergeant Lee VogelSang, the latter
two Baltimore detectives. have
publicly pushed their studies at
Marlboro into the garroting of
Corinne Loring, 26-year-old public
stenographer, of Mt. Rainier, last
November 4.
But during the Marlboro ses-
sionS, one or two of the investi-
gators and their assistants have
slipped away for unannounced
destinations.
While the proberS indicate that
the case has apparently reached a
dead-end, the investigators are
close to the solution, according to
the same source, because of the
fruit of these secret probes.
Lieutenant Itzel and Sergeant
Vogelsang returned from their
Baltimore homes today to renew
their investigations.
They are intent today on check
ing the alibi of Victor H. Red
mond, Washington restaurant en-
ploye, as to his movements on
November 4. Redmond is charged
with an attempted attack on
9-year-old Mt. Rainier girl week

"Positive Evidence"
Pointing to Slayer
Uncovered

CR1SF1ElD, Mo, Dec. Z.
Clothing belonging to William
Powell, seized in the dingy water
front apartment where he is al
legged to have beaten and stabbed
Arthur Die to death with a
chiSel a week ago today. is be-
ing examined for bloodstains.
States Attorney F.. Kirk Mad
dirk revealed that a few hours
after the murder, Powell, a dis
abled war veteran and former
bootlegger, purchased package
of dye. The States Attorney
believes Powell washed out blood
stains and then dyed the cloth
ing.
A bucket found in the apart
ment where Powell lived for
several months with Mrs. Grace
DIE, estranged wife of the slain
man, is also to be examined to
determine whether there are any
traces of blood in it. Police ad-
vanced the theory that the bucket
was used to wash out the blood
stains.
Confession Seen Near
Powell, held in the county jail
at Princess Anne, Is miles from
here. on a first degree murder
charge, was reported today to be
very shaky, and officials believed
he was on the verge OF COMES
sion.
Fearful that he may attempt
to end his life, Mr.. MaddrlX
ordered constant watch KEPT
over him. His belt and necktle
were removed and a guard is on
duty in front of his cell.
Meanwhile, her love gone for the
man who is alleged to have slain
her husband, Mrs. Grace Die is
ready to take the witness stand
and testify for the State, Mr.. Mad
dirk said.
Son Chief Witness
The chief witness for the State
will be her 19-year-old son,
Charles, who signed a statement
that he saw Powell strike his
father three times with a chiSel
early last Monday morning as q
climax to a weekend of fighting
and drinking that started when
Dize went to the apartment to
beg his wife to return to him.
Mrs. Die told Mr.. MaddriX she
entered the room to see Powell
standing over her husband, the
blood stained chiSel in his hand.
She wanted to call a doctor, she
said, but Powell threatened to kill
her and Charles if they told OF
the attack.
Powell. Mrs. Die and Charles
were arrested after two persons
had told of hearing Powell
threaten, I'm going to kill you. |"
A special session of the Grand
Jury will be called in January, at
which time Powell'S indictment
will be sought.
Rat Story Plausible
The story told by Powell that
rats had attacked the body OF
Die was perfectly plausible, resi-
dents pointed out, adding that
Crisfield is in sore need of Pied
Piper. The waterfront is literally
overrun with rats.
They are big rats, as big as
kittens. Crisfield, located far
down the Eastern Shore, primarily
is a seafood town. There are
scores of oyster and other seafood
packing plants, and the water
front is alive with rats. They live
in the marshes, and at night raid
the packing plants and stores for
food.
Old-timers tell you that these
rats gang up" and attack cats,
that they have attacked babies
and young children. So serious is
the rat menace that the town has
considered asking the WPA for
funds to exterminate them.

The Washington times., 1935-12-26

A romantic parallel to the juve
nile business tales of Horatio AL
ger and Oliver. Optic is found in
the amazing careers of those lead
erS of the film industry, Harry NJ,
Major Albert, and Jack L. Warner,
the intrepid trio forming the in
dustry'S most famous firm, that Of
Warner Bros.
The Warner family of twelve
first lived in Baltimore and later
moved to Youngstown, Ohio.
Harry Warner. the Oldest boy, was
a salesman for the meat products
Of Armour & Co., and from that
organization went to a similar
post with Swift & Co.
In the meantime, Sam Warner
had gone in to the world on his
own and was employed by the Erie
Railroad as a fireman. Albert had
gone to Chicago, Harry having
found him a position with him in
the Armour organization. Jack
still in knickerbockers, was found
to have a pleasing singing voice,
and the lad sang with some little
success wherever he could find
engagements.
Moving pictures!
The verdict, made in 1903, was
unanimous. AL four, from the
senior Harry to the boy Jack, had
a liking for the baby industry and
were sure they detected the sweep.
ing future Of it. They promptly
put their combined purses in a
general treasury and voted that
they must find a theater and be-
come exhibitors.
Their efforts were tireless and
thorough. and they finally found
what they considered a promising
location in Newcastle, Pa. The
little theater was bravely opened,
with a young sister, Rose Warner.

gram enliVened with illustrated
songs sung by young Jack, still in
his knickerbockerS.
The modest theater caught on

TIMES, and in its management the
brothers learned a great deal
about the film business. After a
time, however, it occurred to the
brothers that it was getting more
and more difficult for exhibitors
to get the quantity or quality Of
pictures they needed to do profit
able business. So, asked Sam, AL
bert, Harry and Jack, why not
establish a distributing exchange,
supplying the worried exhibitors
with the number and kind OF
films they needed?
The adventurous ones made the
plunge, as they had done before
and for six years conducted q
flourishing exchange business IL
the busy Pittsburgh district. Then
a body blow was dealt the broth
erS when a combination of the big
film producers decided to eSteb
lish their own exchanges. Tht
Warmers put up a fight, stiff
one, but the odds were too power
full and they lost. The mighty

ton and the four Warner Bros

their experiences, the brothers
were not disheartened. This was
the task of finding theaters in
which to display Vitaphone. The
more important and large chains
Of houses refused to install Vita
phone.
So the undaunted brothers be-
gan leasing theaterS wherever
they could. A year passed and in
Stallations slowly became more
numerous. Then came the enor-
nous success of The Jazz Singer, !"
and with it the Warmers greatest
tragedy. Sam Warner was taken
Ill and passed away as the quar-
tet Of which he was the creating
genius was entering its era of
greatest prosperity.
The three brothers, Harry, AL.
bert and Jack. continued to carry
on. as Sam would have wished.
Experiments went on constantly
in the studios. More sound was
added to Vitaphone's accomplish
mentS and then came speaking
sequences. The first modest dia-
logue came in "Tenderloin," al
though there had been a few
spoken lines in The Jazz Singer"
Then came the first "all talking

The four heads came together
again, wiser heads than they had
been in youngstown or Newcastle,
and the Warner Bros. made q
most momentous decision. To get
just the kind Of pictures you
wanted, you must make them
yourselves. So they would produce
their own films.
Harry Warner, now the aStute
president of the Warner Bros,
even at that time was developing
the brilliant and shrewd business
facilities with which he leads the
huge organization, so somehow
and somewhere the money was
forthcoming. Men Of m oney
placed confidence in four pioneers
who still insisted on battling even
in the face Of adverse conditions.
The warmers now distributed
their duties as follows: Harry
became president and took active
charge of the general operations;
Albert was assigned the distribut-
ing end Of the business: Sam
turned to theaters and bought or
leased houses in cities where they
could not get presentation through
regular channels of release; and
Jack became the production head
and had charge of the studios as
he has now.
Just at this crucial time, Sam
Warner heard that Western Elec-
trio and the Bell Telephone Lab
oratories were working on a device
which would unite and sychron-
ize sound and pictures. This idea
for long had been one Of Sam
Warmers pet ambitions, and ne
hurried to New York from Los An
geles to investigate. Before his ar
rival, other producers mad been
shown the device and promptly re-
jected it as impossible. Sam was
still curious, however, and went to
the laboratories, where he heard
and saw an apparatus far from
perfect. The brothers liked the
prospect as the optimistic Sam
outlined it, but previous failures
had made them cautious. They
tried to interest others, but no one
would listen to what they termed
preposterous and impossible
proposition.
Then came a great event. On
August 6, 1925, when Warner
Bros. were ready to display Vita
phone to the world. On that day
in their own theater in New York,
the brothers presented q great
program to an astounded and de-
lighted audience. viii H. Hays

came as result of his successful
service at the Avenue Grand.
Reynolds was working as a
clerk in the Government service

would like to become q theater
man and applied for a position at
the executive offices of the Gran

suit was an usher'S job at the
Avenue Grand, in the evenings.
Later transferred to the Tivoii

at the Apollo and he gave up his
Government job to accept the full
managerShip of the latter house.
Transferred to the Earle Thea

WARNER BROS. PENN OPENS FRIDAY AT 8:15
FIRST THEATER
IN CITY BUILT
FOR SOUND

When Warner Bros. Penn Thea.
ter opens tomorrow night, residents
Of Southeast Washington will be
invited to one of the first stream.
lined" theaters in America. Lo-
Gated at Seventh Street and Penn.
sylvania Avenue Southeast, the
Penn Theater presents an appear
ance that Is at once modern with
out being merely "modernistic."
Because it is the first theater
built in Washington since the ad-
vent of sound-an innovation with
which Warner Bros, through the
Vitaphone, are firmly associated
the Penn Theater is modern not
only in its appearance but also in
its adaptability to the demands of
the technical apparatus that pro-
duces both sound and sight en-
tertainment.
Under the direction of Warner
Bros. sound engineers, the Penn
Theater has been equipped with
one of the largest and most power
full sound systems in Washington.
There are in all IL horns, located
behind the screen which itself is
one of the largest in the city.
Four of the horns are what are
known as "tweeterS," those which
carry the high frequencies of
sound. -Four, know as "wuffers,"
carry the low frequencies, and four
others are intermediate, designed
to carry the frequencies between
the ranges of the other two types.
In all, the new theater will have
two complete application SyS-
TENS. Should an accident occur to
one, the throw of a switch will
bring into play the second SyS-
tenn without interruption to the
program. Throughout, the Penn
was constructed of acoustic plas-
ter" devised for its special prop
critics in sound reproduction.
The most modern projection
equipment goes along with the
sound system, and this, with the
large, latest-type screen, gives
further assurance of unusual en-.
tertainment value.
