MRS. L|NDBERGH
SEES END OF CASE
Tears in Anne's Eyes as
Mother Appears on
Stand.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PENNINGTON, N j., February o.
Her mothers appearance on the wit
ness stand brought tears to the eyes
of gentle Anne Lindbergh today as
the case against Bruno Richard
Hauptmann ended.
She blinked the tears back, as she
did on the witness stand when she
told how she used to walk on the
driveway and throw pebbles to the
nursery window so her baby's nurse
would hold him up to wave.
Her mother, Mrs. Dwight w. Nor
row, ended the prosecutions case with
the same dignity Mrs. Lindoergn
brought to the court room.
In her few sentences on the stand,
accounting for the activities Of Violet
Sharpe, her servant who committed
suicide, no reference was made TO her
kidnapped grandchild. If visitors had
looked for a note Of grief to sway
the jury they were disappointed.
Dressed In Black.
Erect in her black crepe dress with
its soft. white collar. she sat with
folded hands and carefully told who
was at home that night: MY daugh-
ter Elizabeth and myself"
Her tranquil face, framed by graying
hair under a high crowned black hat
with a silver ornament, left With
the court room the image Of Anne
Lindbergh on the stand. The fair
skin. the smile and the slightly tilted
nose were the same.
The V collar of her dress flared to
fat bow in front and showed her
round white throat and a strand Of
pearls At her wrists were touches Of
white and one silver bracelet.
She did not heed the commotion
that broke out when her name was
called. Rising from her chair in the

pressure of the board against the
beams.
Koehler. who had followed closely
the testimony of De BiSSchop, was
asked by Wilentz 20 express his opin-
ion on the similarity or dissimilarity
between the marks made by Haupt-
mann'S plane on the lumber planed
by Stanley Seal and the plane marks
on the ladder rungs.
Marks Held Identical.
"On the edge of the board that he
planed by holding the plane parallel
or straight with the edge Of the
board, the marks are identical with
those on the ladder rungs' Koehler
said "On> the other edge, where he
held the plane diagonally across the
board. the marks are closer together"
Q. But does that interfere with the
identification of the plane marks
themse yes?
A No.
Wilentz then turned to the two
boards which De BisSchop brought
into court, and which he testified were
taken from different sources-one
from a house AZ years old. the other
from another house He had matched
the grain. he swore, to demonstrate
that grains are matched in woods
which come from different trees.

pieces after De BiSSchOp'S testimony.
said they came from the same piece
of wood.
O. Now you have heard the testi-
mony Of the two gent emen that have
been here the last day or two with

reference to the attic board. Do you

The name of Red johnson, who
was a friend of Betty Cow, nurse to
the Lindbergh baby, was brought back
again into the testimony in the
waning minutes of the case.
George Marshall, night watchman
at the Morrow estate, testified that he
knew Johnson, and that Johnson
who at one time was questioned in
connection with the kidnap case-was
acquainted with Violet Sharpe.

Through Marshall also the defense

which matches perfectly the voice
you've heard over the radio. He sings
several numbers in lyric Spanish and
several in English with a charming
accent. His arrangements on I'm
in the Mood For Love" and Cheek to
Cheek" are topping. and his delivery
OF them even better, what with his
smooth, clear voice and his singing
as though he really loves to do it.
Tito gets enthusiastic approval from
the audience and will from you when
you see him.
The SO minutes or . Of thoroughly
entertaining vaudeville are started of
by the Gaylene Sisters and their terp-
sichorean review. The sisters do some
excellent acrobatic, control and con-
tortionistic routines, and present an
other pair Of very clever dancers, a
young lady who is most adept at bal
let dancing and another who does
suave and sophisticated tap numbers.
To top of their clever revue, the sis
tiers Gaylene do something which they
devised and which no one else does
the interlocked forward timber, in
which they lock arms and do a few
somersaults together touching no
hands to the floor. And that is a
good trick. even if they couldn't do it.
Hall and Dennison also score. One
of them is tall, trim lass, who
dances and sings passably and who is
highly decorative, and the other is a
chap who does some extremely clever
comedy with trombone and a violin,
at one point in his act playing the
latter with the former. That's what
we said: He plays the violin, using
the trombone for a bow.

its success. When they first step on

Walter Abel, New York stage actor,
has scored the most recent hit in
Hollywood. This is due to his excel
lent work In THE Three Musketeers,"
Dumas immortal story Of France.
The film itself Is we'll made and
well cast Rowland v. Lees direction
is speedy and interesting. Never for
one moment does the march of this
film fall below the gallant, swash-
buckling tempo In which the story
was written.
To those of US entirely sold on the
colored film idea it seemed a pity that
the musketeers didn't flame forth on
celluloid in color. Never was there
story that could have profited so FROM
the glory that color could have given
to its plot.
Nevertheless, you'll find this pic
ture excellent entertainment, well
made and acted, and a thing that
holds your attention from first to
last.
Heather Angel, as Constance, did a
convincing bit Of work, and her hus-
band, Ralph Forbes, definitely regis
tered in the very small role of the
Duke o. Buckingham. I don't think
I've ever seen Forbes do better piece
of acting.
And We mustn't forget that dare
devil trio-AthoS, played by Paul
Lukas; Porthoe, well done by Moroni
Olsen. and Aramis, portrayed by Ons-
low Stevens. They gave the film the
fine adventurous flavor that helped
carry it to success.

it is Bucks film all the way through

IN ABOUT so per cent Of the films
he made during his talkie career,
the late Will Rogers was required
merely to stand off in corner and
deliver wisecracks. In the other half
he had an opportunity to try his hand
at character acting. and he usually
succeeded. Steamboat Round the

one of Rogers two best efforts in the
latter class. He not only injected a
great deal of human warmth and
pleasantly into the role CT retired

Among the most. picturesque of the

visit the Cathedral yearly are amused
by their antics, especially those of

Systematically as theaters douse their

wallop. In part, thai may be at
