the man who shot her to death
with a small calibre revolver.
All day the people who stayed
at the hotel where Helen was siam
Wednesday night went to the WIT
ness stand to describe the mystic
rious cries and screams of the
night of the murder, but after
they were through, the jury was
as baffled as when it began It's IN
quiry.
Miss Clevenger came to her
death at "the hands of person or
persons unknown" was the YER
dict.
Police and detectives pushed
their search for additional clues,
but admitted frankly they had
very little with which to work.
The verdict was returned after
a short elaboration following tes-
timony of Is witnesses, including
the girls uncle, w. L. CleVenger'
North Carolina State College pro-
lessor, who discovered her mutt
lated body in her room in a fash
ionable hotel here Thursday morn
ing. -,
Durham Jones, negro bellboy at
the hotel where Miss Clevenger
was killed, told the jury ne saw a
man run from the meZzanine floor
of the hotel to the lobby shortly
after / a. m.
"He darted into the manager
office" the negro said, "and hid
behind a desk. Then he tore
through the lobby and out the
door. He slammed the door after
him, jumped the railing OF the
porch and ran down the street. l
didn't follow him because about
that time some guests IN a taxi
arrived at the other door"
The bell-boy's description OF the
mysterious figure tailed with that
given earlier by E. B. Pittman,
who occupied the room across the
hall from that of Miss Clevenger.
Robert Simpson, operator OF the
hotel elevator, testified that no
one left the floor on which the
slain girls room was located dur
ing the night by the elevator,
strengthening a police theory that
the intruder ran down two flights
of stairs and escaped through the
lobby of the hotel.
Members of the jury, before the
inquest, viewed the girls body at
the morgue, but heard no testi-
mony concerning whereabouts of
the gun with which she was killed
or the sharp instrument with
which the wounds on her face
were inflicted. One of the wounds,
three inches deep, broke the girls
nose.
w. L. Clevenger, the girls uncle
and one of the Is witnesses, told
how he discovered the body of his
niece in her room when he went
to rouse her Thursday morning.
Coroner G. F. Baier said evil
dence of criminal attack on the
blonde girl was conclusive.
The girl, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. F. Clevenger of Great
Hills, N. Y, had been in North
Carolina only a few weeks
Indication that the search for
her slayer would spread was seen
in an appeal by Asheville police
to Washington city detectives
chief Bernard Thompson to inyes-
tivate certain confidential infor-
nation" in connection with the
case.
Thompson said he had been
asked to look for a man who
might have valuable information
on the girls death. He refused
to reveal the mans name. AsRe-
vile officers disclaimed knowl-
edge of the request for assistance.

Not that this bright, amusing

latest exploits in the tropical
country.
In "Tarzan Escapes" you will
find that the big wah-oo man of
the forest has an elephant pro-
PEELED elevator and a revolving
fan operated by an ape.
The picture at the Columbia

inal "Tarzan" with many new
stunts devised for Johnny Weiss
muller and Maureen O'Sullivan,
who is his mate again.
Johnny swings from tree to
tree, grapples with a man eating
alligator, shows his swimming

with tribe of savages. His pet
ape, "Cheetah,' deserves a pay
raise or have his option picked
up for he is a real comedian.

Open Monday in New Revue

First big musical, first gay
revue of the theatrical year, and
first presentation of it's creator
in the role of impressario, Vincente

The Show Is On" comes to the
National Theater Monday night,
with Beatrice Lille and Bert Lahr

to Broadway and the New York

and a run that is expected to
cover the entire season.
The MeSSrs. Shubert, under
whose aeguS the huge spectacle is
staged, pin higher hopes upon this
production than any they have
sponsored in years and justify this
expectation by having made for
it's creation the most lavish in

and-music shows. The two emf
nent commedians heading the
personnel have been surrounded
with more than 1875 known players,
including Reginald Gardiner, Nit

Although announced as caval-

from that field to poke riotouS fun

'Horse'Comedy
At the Met

It was a happy choice on the
part of the Bros. Warner to take
the Broadway laugh riot, Three
Men on a Horse" This. joke a
minute comedy is a screen natural
and naturally wins itself this re-
turn booking after the earlier sue
cess at the Earle. Cast in the part
of the hapless Irwin Trowbridge,
Frank McHugh is at last allowed a
leading role. He does nobly by it.
The old plot of the worm who
eventually turns has been freshly
trussed up in newer riggingS. With
a bunch of lame-brained Stooges
to feed Irwin (the straight" mani

it any wonder the hallowed rafterS
of the Met" are resounding with
merriment.
Caught unsuspectingly by a
bunch of race track followers, If
win is seized and his ability to pick
the favorite repeatedly proves al
most his downfall. To Irwin this
had merely been a hobby. The
very soul of conscientious honor,
he couldn't see gambling. His cap
tors have different ideas and if
necessary they intend for Irwin
to give up his original calling,
verse writer for greeting cards.
The director has here and there
injected some gentle pokings at
favored Americana but it is all in
clean fun. The entire supporting
company have entered into the
film with enjoyment. 1t is hard
t. say just who is the best. Joan
Blondell, Carol Hughes, Guy Kib-
bee and Allen Jenkins uphold the
best Hollywood traditions, while
Teddy Hart and Sam Levene. i'm
ported from the legitimate show,
naturally fit. In a short bit as a

MANY THINGS HAPPEN

MANY THINGS HAPPEN
To begin with, these two purvey-
ors of the wholly ridiculous have
story that is a neat framework
to hang their efforts on. Further
more, it is we'll cast and brilliantly
directed. The gags throughout
set a new high for cleverness and
the action, without pause, moves
with spirited lightneSS from one
laughable situation to another.
The picture presents the MesSrs.
Laurel and Hardy as twins: Laurel
and Hardy the respectable citizens
and Laurel and Hardy the tough
sailors on the loose. When the
sailor brothers hit the port in
which their more respectable rela-
tives reside things, oh many
things, begin to happen and they
keep happening.
Wives and SWeetheartS add to
the comic aspects of this situa-
tion, not to mention miSunder-
standings and complications in
many other directions.
It is, in brief, a story tailor
made for the Laurel and Hardy
talents, and they do yoeman Serv-
ice with the opportunity. 1t is a
film that lovers Of comedy should
not miss.
Betty Healy, Daphne Pollard,
Iris Adrian, Iona Andre and
James FinlaySon appear to excel

shoes play a leading part. There
is also the usual news reel, in

LIBRARY GETS
 DR. GABRIEL
 NEWEST BOOK
Man, the Unknown Story of Science and Human
 ity, Is Now Available

Dr. AleeXis Carral the wizard of Rockefeller Institute, makes his literary debut as philosopher in his book, Man, the Unknown" re- gently acquired by the Juneau Pub lie Library and now available to the general public without charge.
 It is one of the most intriguing and interesting of all the self-analy- tical books of the past decade. The author is, by his own confession, not a philosopher and decidedly he is not at home in the realms of logic; in spite of this, or per- haps because of 1t, he succeeds in making absolutely clear to the reader those points upon which he has definite information.
 The tools wit5 which he builds his thesis are entirely sensual. On the one hand, he has the facts of the physical body:-the chicken heart he has kept alive in alcohol for fifteen years, the brains he has triphined, the bodily organs he has grafted from one species to an- other; and, to guide him in his ana lysis of these factors, the hyper sensitive fingers of the scientist, to whom the material of life is sacred and in itself immortal.
 On the other hand-and it is this that provides the fascination of the book-he has, not the logical ap- proach from abstract to neighbor- ing abstract of the philosopher, but the equally sensual testimony of the instinct; the emotions, the entire gamut of human nature, as felt by scientist and laborer alike.
