CHICAGO, May Is GN.SO.-A
preview Of a sensational feature
film was planned today by Acting

If storms and DR.. Leonard Kee-
Ter, director of the Northeastern

the motion picture, have done their
work well, the thriller may send
its lone actor, Thomas Starr, 29-

Starr, who confessed the brutal
killing Saturday night, reenacted
the crime for the benefit of the
movie cameras at the Young Wom-
ems Christian Association hotel on
South Michigan Boulevard yeSter-
day afternoon. The movie was
taken for courtroom projection in
case he should attempt to repu-
date the confession before the
trial Jury, Storm said.
Starr was arrested when he
answered descriptions of the "ape
man" who entered the nursing
home of st. Luke'S Hospital the
night of May IA and attempted
to attack Miss Lois Rickert, of
Detroit, a student nurse. He con-
fessed the attack attempt, then

the party promises a new form of

Among the reforms proposed,
