HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 16. (U,Rl-Col-
umbians are all a-twitter over per-
SpectiveS arranged by Joseph Won
Sternberg in Grace Moore's new
musical.
PLAYERS from Grace down hasten
to ask whether you've seen rusheS
on the show, which went into. pro-
duction early this month. They
know you haven't, but it gives them
a chance to tell you how Won Stern
berg has solved the problem OF third
dimension in pictures.
Addition of the illusion of depth
to flat lengths and breadths of ordl-
nary pictures is currently believed to
be the next great movie improve
ment, and competition among stu
dioS is keen.
Many artificial stereoptican meth
ods have ben tried and discarded,
and engineers are constantly at
work on new Devices but Won Stern
berg is said to achieve his effects
through colorless backgrounds and
arrangement of lights.
Light colorS have for several years
been a fetish with the Austrian di-
rector. credited with discovery of
Marlene Dietrich, and in the cur
rent picture he carries them to eX-
tremeS.
Backgrounds are uniformly OF
palest grey, and painted with a
shiny lacquer which causes them TO
photograph glittering white. SINH
larly costumes are OF colors as pale
as possible. Men wear white jac-
ketS and women garments of nell
tral hues.
Secret of effects is said to be in
the lighting, which Won Sternberg
arranges personally and exhaustive
ly. Roughly, he lights the players
and central objects, permitting walls
and other props farther from the
camera to shine only by reflection.
If results are half as good as Miss
Moore and the rest of the cast say,
they must be sensational.
Picture is based on the VienneSe
stage play "Cissy but Columbia will
rename it before screen release. It
is an Austrian tale, full of palaces
and peasant girls, and the score was

LUCIANO GIVEN
SURPRISE BY
$.
WITNESS
Janitor Reverses His
Testimony Sworn
for Defense

NEW YORK, June 4 Q.N.S). l..
With the Luciano vice trial rap
idly nearing a close, Special Prose
cutor Thomas e. Dewey delivered
a smashing surprise blow at the
defense today.
He called a scared, shifty-eyed
defense witness who, over the
shouted protests of defense law
yers, completely reversed himself
on testimony he delivered in be-
half of the accused vice lords last
night.
The witness was Joseph Barth,
janitor in a Brooklyn apartment
house where June Garry. a pros
titute, testified she had worked
and paid tribute to Charles
Lucky" Luciano's vice syndicate.
Miss Garry early in the trial told
how Little Able" Wahrman, al
legged gunman for Luciano and
one of the defendants in this case
had wrecked her apartment, slash
ing carpets and furniture when
she had been slow in paying her
weekly tribute.
Barth, as a defense witness, last
night called Miss Garry :. liar.
He swore he never received $40 a
month hush money" from her,
and declared he never had re
moved any wrecked furniture
from her apartment.
Barth today admitted he re-
membered that June Garry had
paid him $40 a month for the
privilege Of working as prosti-
tute in his apartment house. He
also remembered that her apart
ment had been wrecked on one
occasion and that he had removed
slashed rugs and furniture.

He went with them. I protested, !,
Of course, but he did not seem to
hear me, and I knew then 1t would
always be that way.
From that time on his advance"
ment in the Black Legion was
rapid. He was going to the top,
he said.
Night after night he got up from
the supper table and without q
word left me, to get home in the
dawn, put on his work clothes
and go off to his job in the public
lighting commission.
Then one dawn he came home
and told me he was in charge
of the death squad. He Seid he
was picked because he had the
courage to do the job and he
was a good shot.

Nothing could stop him after
that. He was wild with power
and Importance and wouldn't
listen to anything I said.

squad.
They'd meet every night at the

that time I was trying to pull
away from the outfit and I'd

beer garden so I'd have an ex-

they weren't doing right by their
families or were not loyal or too
friendly with Catholics-they were
marked for discipline.
Give Good Lickings
Dayton said they had the parties
in various woods around Wayne
county. He added:
"We take off the guys shirt,
leave his hood on and give him
q good licking. We don't have
any trouble with them after
that, I can tell you. It's q good

Reminded that Dean said he

"He's all wet"
''But he makes you out the

mo RIGHT TO KILL"
Asked If he thought the Black
Legion, or any other organization,
had q right to take man out and
kill him because they heard he
beat his wife, Davis emphatically
replied:
"NO, sir"
Davis looked surprised when I
asked him if his conscience
bothers him as result Of the
tragic death of Poole. He said:
"NO. 1 didn't kill the man.
/ didn't advocate that he be
killed. I feel sorry for his wife
and his children"
He declared he "had no idea
in the world" why Dean put him

Davis revealed that he Is

Davis said it was Dean who got
him to join the Black Legion, He
denied he is a colonel" in the
secret organization. He claimed
he attended only about three meet

ing the plate, well, umpires may
have to place a new Interpretation
on the present rules regarding the
position of catcherS and the rights
Of base runners.
Hogan broke in with the Boston
Braves after a brilliant career as
a high-school athlete at Somer-
vile. He was a football tackle
and fullback, and received many
offers from ambitious college
alumni. Hogan played the out
field at high school.
Hogan went to the New York
Giants along with Jimmy W@ch
in the trade that sent Rogers
Hornsby to the Boston Braves.
His career in New York was
marked by many exciting incidents
which reached a climax on that
historic night when he chased Doc
Knowles, Giant trainer, through
a train until exhaustion and the
combined man power of the Giants
finally got him down. He finally
returned to Boston and then
passed out of the major league
picture.
Inability to control his pound
age fastened the departure OF
Hogan, who was christened Shan
ty" by this writer in the banter

the Giants.
Bottoms unauthorized departure
surprised not only Harris and the
front office Of the Griffs, but all
those who have been close to the
team this season. Usually the
catcher is the most placid of men,
but he Just bucked over the traces.
Complained of Sinus
The facts as gathered yesterday
are these: Bolton complained of
sinus and was treated for his condi-
ton. He was pronounced ready
for work, but requested leave Of
absence. Upon being refused he
simply went over the hills. His
suspension without pay probably
will bring him to his senses, and
he undoubtedly will return to duty
after thinking over the situation.
The Griffs lost a very tough
game to the Tigers yesterday, bow
ing after they had the bases JAM
med in the ninth inning with only
one out. Kuhel and Stone failed
to hit with a single which might
have won the game. A long single
surely would have won the game.
Jack Wade, the young southpaw
of the Tigers, held Washington to
three hits, and therefore it Is not
surprising that the boys scored
only two runs. Wade suffered a
nose bleed in the seventh inning
and had to be removed in the
ninth, Sorrell relieving him and
maintaining order to the end.
One of the features of the game
that was played in drizzle almost
from the start was the sensational
play Of Cecil Travis at shortStop.
The kid made fine stop on Cos
Inns single and was very good on
a couple of other plays.

Mention OF the progress made
by the Chesapeake Fishing Fair
Association has been in this col
umn from time to time. Remark
able for the fact that it is bring
ing the many diversified fishing
interests of the bay area together;
there can be no doubt that this
association faces a future that can
easily make it the means of pro-
tecting the sport fish for the
sportsman as well as for the COM
mercial men. Reasonable regula-
ton for the catches, as to condi-
ton of the market, and ability to
get them there in edible condition
would be all that might be asked
of commercial men, while catches
Of pleasure boats could almost be
disregarded, except as to size.
The association has a member
ship of 225 now and is growing
steadily, as the roster in the latest
fishing guide shows. A member
ship will materially help the fu-
ture of your sport.
The first season will end in a
grand Fishing Fair Day to be held
on the GooSes off Tilghman'S
Island on September IL. Make up
your mind to be in on it. The fol-
lowing rules will be in force.
/. Angling will start at 6 a. m.
at the sound of six shots from
the Apache cannon.
2. Any angler from any place
is eligible.
3. All fish entered must be
caught in the buoyed-off area
bounded by SharpS Island Light,
Diamonds buoy, James Island
buoy, the "Gooses" buoy, back to
SharpS Island light. This area is
known as the "GooseS."

Heavily on
Schmidt

ANNAPOLIS, Sept. 3.-Navy's
football hopes are centered
largely this year on Sneed
Schmidt, chunky MILDLY from
Missouri, as the spearhead Of its
attack, but a gang of promising
backs are in the offing and there
is every chance that some real
classy carriers and paSsers may
develop before the season has
gone far.
Those who saw Schmidt in the
second half Of the last game
marked him as an outstanding
back for this season. Such an
exhibition Of ball-carrying was
seldom seen.
Took Command
After the Army had piled up
four touchdownS in the first 70
minutes Of the game, the Navy
led by Schmidt took command
of the field, Sneed being simply
Unacceptable.
Schmidt is a fine punter, too,
though his direction is not so
good. He is not a specially gooo
defense player in the open, and
hardly qualified as a defense
man, though he should do well
backing up the line.
Frank Case and Bob Antrim, in
their second varsity year, should
be good this season. Case, a hard-
running, strong blocking type,
made the first string last year, his
first in varsity ranks, and Bob
Antrim, weighing 100 pounds and
a fine runner, pasSer and receiver,
was just short Of it.
Reiman Looks Good
Charley Reiman was shifted
from B squad the latter part OF
last year and nearly made the
start of the Army game. He de-
veloped quickly into a brilliant
runner and accurate paSser, and
looks like he has arrived this
season.
Many think young Bill Ingram
will come to his own this season.
After MAXIM. a big rep at Law
renceville, Ingram did little play
ing his plebe and first varsity
years on account Of his injuries.
He seems to have toughened up
and has undoubted ability as an
all-around back.
Tom Edwards, Newell Thomas,
Rabbit Rankin and Fay WillSie are
backs of considerable experience,
all in their last year Of Navy foot
ball, and more than likely to prove
of value this year.
