 When he was freshman, Nor stadt broke his forefinger and the bone failed to knit properly, with the result the finger became stiff.

 Hilariously Funny

Gales of laughter swept through the audience at the Capitol The atre last night where the Warner Bros. comedy romance, "The Kan sas City Princess" was shown on the screen locally for the first time.

 The picture, o@2ec on .he screen play by Sy Bartlett and Manuel Self, begins in Kansas City with the manicurists loving not wisely but too well, and being forced to flee the city from a gangster lover. whom they know will settle such matters as a misplaced kiss with an embrace of death.
 Smuggling themselves aboard a convention bound train as a couple of girl scouts, they reach New York after series of riotous adventures, but neither fcoling nor eluding their gangland friend who beats them to it in a fast plane. Scared pink, the two girls pick up couple of small town aldermen and chisel their way onto a Paris bound ship. Here again they get mixed up with a millionaire playboy and run afoul of the gangster, piling up love tangles until they reach Paris where the wives of the two alder men and that of the millionaire pop up to complicate matters in the fastest and most unique and uproarious climax imaginable.

FAST MOVING UPTOWN FILM
 IS ExCITINC C
Sally of the Subway . Is Title of New Feature of
 Intrigue and Romance

Sally of the Subway opening tonight at the Uptown Theatre, is replete with thrills, action and romance, according to advance re- ports from Action Pictures. Inc, producers of this and g other feature motion pictures which will be released during the present. film year.
 Sally Of the Subway" hasn't much to do with the subway, but rather tells the story Of Subway Sally, the sobriquet of a smart young girl who started her under world career as a subway pick pocket but soon became polished thief.
 The thrills of the story are present in the scenes where a grand duke, who had been the unwilling tool of Sally and her crooked co-worker, suddenly turns the tables on them with the help Of clever little girl who is credit manager of the jewelry shop which Sally and her companion were at tempting to defraud.
 The story, by George B. Seitz, who also directed the picture, was designed to allow for rapid action, and plentiful action results from start to finish of the production. The romantic interludes are sup piled by the handsome grand duke and the pretty young credit man. ager of the jewelry shop. It is a case of love at first sight, and the speed of their romance matches the speed of the rest of the action.
 The case of players includes Jack Mulhall, Dorothy Revier and Blanche Mehaffey in the featured roles, with Crawford Kent. Huntly Gordon, John Webb Dillon and Harry Semels in the leading sup porting parts. The first three nam ed certainly need no introduction to motion picture fans and the supporting cast contains some of the best names in the character actor roster.
 The assurance of good direction is contained in the line Directed by George B. Seitz."

Chiappe, his fiery successor as
president of the municipal coun-

Their exchange of shots in the
misty dawn in a private garden
was terminated when seconds at
first thought Godin was wounded.
Godin said, as he walked off the
dueling ground:
81 am not hurt. The bullet
hit my right thigh, but my
clothes broke the shock, and the
bullet dropped to the ground.
II picked it up and kept it
as a souvenir"
STILL ENEMIES
Despite its opera bouffe conclu-

earnestness, and the enemies left
unreconciled.
The affair grew out of wordy
battle in the newspapers. Chiappe
accepted the challenge of Godin,
who criticized the conduct of the
former prefect of police in his
present office.
Ordinary duelling pistols, of
small calibre and containing but
one shot, were used.

of Paris took aim and pulled the

courageously waited for the shot
