STRANDED IS CAPITOL BILL;
 REGISTERS HIT
Kay Francis and George Brent Do Wonderful
 Work Tn Film

The most dramatic, and the great ,st in heart interest of all the War nor Bros. service stories. Strand ed," was shown for the first time ocally at the Capitol Theatre last night, with Kay Francis and George Brent in the leading roles.
 Stranded" is stark drama. al though there is comedy relief here md there, iust.as there is humor in every walk of life.
 It centers about the life of a worker of the Travellers Aid, who thinks only in the terms of hu- nanity. She is in love with a hard boiled engineer who is building he largest bridge in the world, and who considers human beings only as cogs in an industrial machine.
 The clash of characters is the strongest point in the story, al- though the action at times is fast and as thrilling as the widest melodrama.
 Kay Francis in the role of the Travellers Aid worker gives one of her greatest screen characterize tions. George Brent is excellent at the unyielding engineer

By w. F. CARTER

TRENTON, N. 1., Jan. 30.-Gov. Harold G. Hoffman of New Jersey, who startled the world when he broke the Lindbergh case wide open" again by granting Bruno Richard Hauptmann an eleventh hour reprieve, is known in his home bailiwick as a 'go-getter."
 At 19 he entered the World War buck private and came out two years later Captain. Never in his ten campaigns for public office has he lost fight. Even when he ran for Governor in 1884, the year of the big Democratic landslides, he won under the Republican banner with an 5000 majority when every index pointed to defeat by 100000.
 Ever since he displayed six years ago his desire to become Governor he has been ruthlessly bounded and ridiculed by his enemies, but steadi- ly he grew stronger and stronger "Hal' Hoffman knows secret. Treat people right" says he, and they're your friends"
 Answers All Mail
 Right now, when public journals are saying nasty things about gub- ernatorial interference" with the machinery of justice, Gov. Hoffman is making political hay.
 Neither fan mail nor pan mail winds up in Hoffman's waStebaSket. Every letter of the thousands re- ceived in his office is answered by the Governor. Maybe he didn't dic- tate the answer, but this much is certain: he read the reply, and the signature at the bottom is his. Only a few hundred letters were received each day until the noe turnal visit, but now they have grown tremendously and come from all over the country.
 "Hi-De-HO' Campaign
 The Governor is man of per- sonal following following not confined to his home State. Broad way and Hollywood have come to his assistance many time. For a 1year before he became candidate for Governor, high-priced stars came in droves to perform at his Saturday shindigs" in local ball. room with no ticket takers at the doors. The performers, it was said received nothing-and wanted noth- ing. Hal" Hoffman, they boasted was their friend. And when they appeared on New Jersey stages they often dropped subtle boosts for Hal" His enemies called it the i-de-h hi i-de-ho campaign"
 A man of swift energy, he often stays up all night. Rarely does he appear at his desk-one or another -later than 7:30 in the morning Persons who know him we'll say he eats more church suppers than any man in New Jersey. He con tinually fits from one public gath ering to another defending the sales tax he won after six months fight only to see it repealed.
 Funster
 | During the past year he has spread out over the country. He stands high in the circles of World War veterans, and in his out-of- State speeches he tut-tuts the Roosevelt Administration. Back to the Constitution" is the gist of his national platform so far. Once regarded as one of New Jerseys handsomest men, the Gov ernor has grown portly and shows signs of wear the past five years. He never exercises. When he wants to relax he just sits and smokes long cigars. His sense of humor is well known. One of his favorite tricks is to pull black typewriter brush out of his desk and place it under his nose, let his hair fall over his forehead like Adolf Hit ler's, and thrust a hand forward in Mo 2; coI11fa

Not long ago a stranger, wish ing to get quick audience with the Governor by pretending to be personal friend, approached the Governor himself without knowing it and asked:
 Where's Harold?"
 Which would you prefer" quer- jed the Governor, chocolate or vanilla?"
 The Governor has a Negro aide named Harold.

of the garage. and Bill dropped to
the floor and rolled underneath the car.
The doors crashed open. and the air
was filled with acrid smoke and the
noise of guns. 1t was all over in a
moment. The man with the red hair
was writhing on the floor, and the
other was struggling in the hands Of
two officers as they snapped the hand
cuffs on him.
The third officer took two machine
guns from the car and turned to Bill.
Good luck. Bill; it's all over: come
out from under that bus. We got
word about these fellows this after
noon; and if their fingerprints check
like think they're going to. you grab
a five hundred dollar reward"
The man in the handouts stood sui
lenly between the two policemen.
You win, Hick, you win; but how the
hell did you get word to these fiat
feet?'
Bill grinned. Five hundred bucks:
not 50 bad; now he could finish paying
for the kids piano.
Mot hard. Mister" he said. My
old lady and / used to be telegraph
operators, and her call was 30. While
l pretended l was being cut off, my
right hand. which you couldn't see SO
we'll, was tapping over and over on the
phone a call for help. She telephoned
the sheriff's Office; and by the way.
you owe me two bucks for fixing the
car"
The policemen laughed and the
mans lips drew back - it might have
been a sneer. or it might have been a
grin; he looked at his companion, dead
on the floor. did l call you hick?
Take the car, Kid; it belonged to the
boss and he amt going to need it any
more"
The officers led him away.
Tks End
Evening star., 1936-10-25

His companion nodded. Says both
of US. Now get busy. and if anyone
comes in, just act natural that's all"
Bill got busy. He couldn't get points
from the Office after he had made that
crack! he'd just have to file them, and
maybe the crate would run enough so
he could get rid of these bozos. Then
he would call the sheriff.
The telephone rang.
The man with the crooked mouth
pressed close to Bills side. ''Never
mind the phone. guy; just keep on
working"
The phone kept on ringing.
Bill turned to the man at his side.
That's my wife calling; she always
calls me about this time. You better
let me answer it; she might get
curious"
The men looked at each other and
the red-haired man nodded. IAN right,
fella. answer it: and Ill be standing
beside you. Be careful what you say"
Bill went into the Office and took
down the receiver. "All right, 30; I'm
- hello. hello hello. Hello!. !.
What the hell He slammed down
the receiver. THAT girl at the ex-
change cut US off,
He went back to the car, with the
two men following him. The man with
the crooked mouth kept close to his
side. Speed up. Hick; we got places
to CO."
Bill tried to stall; he dropped a
screw, and fddled with the wiring.
The waiting men cursed with impa-
thence. Finally. the job was done.
Through the dingy windows in the
Office, Bill thought he could see light
way down the road He asked one of
the men to get in and start the car:
but before he could wrench the door
open two bright lights shone in front

IT was after ten o'clock; snow was
falling and the wind was rising.
There had been no business for the
last two hours. The evening loafers
had all gone home and Bill, the garage
man. shivered as he sat beside the
round oak stove in the back of the
garage. If it showed like this all night,
there would be plenty of shoveling in
the morning. The wind and the snow
came in under the big folding doors.
What a swell night for a holdup. He
had been a sucker, he thought, when
he opened up a garage out here in the
sticks, even if it was on the main
drag; in the winter he hardly made
expenses.
There was the sound Of a horn at the
big doors. Who. Bill wondered, would
want anything but gas on night like
this? As he opened the doors, the wind
and snow blinded him. The car came
in. and leaning against the doors. he
managed to force them shut against
the wind and opened a window.
1t was big car - an eight-cylinder.
