YOUTH ACCUSED.
IN COED SLAYING.
FEARED SUICIDE
Police Find No Clues
To College Poet

BEREA, KY, Aug. 1s Q.N.S0.
Belief grew today that George E.
Wells had joined his coed darling
in death.
The brilliant Berea College
senior has been hunted without
avail since beautiful Opal Sturgell,
18-year-old sophomore, was shot
down from ambush on the campus
Sunday evening.
Plainly recognized by her escort,
William Anderson, the youth was
formally accused as the slayer in
a warrant obtained by Opars
father, and police provided a mo-
tive for the killing with the dis
closure that the girl had rebuffed
his attentions for more than a
year.
FIND NO CLUE
Despite widespread hunt for
Wells, police today remained with
out a clue to his whereabouts. 1t
was determined that he had only
a few dollars in his pockets at the
most. and was unfamiliar with
surrounding cities where he might
hide.
The fact that not a single re-
port Of him being seen on high
ways in the vicinity or in nearby
towns, led Chief Of Police Earl T.
Hays to advance the theory that
he had killed himself in some re-
mote quarter of the hilly and
sparsely populated countryside.
DOUBTS GUILT
The same view was shared by
the boys father. John H. Wells.
Of Auxier. KY, who issued an ap-
peal yesterday Tor MS son 10 come
home and face the charges if he
is still alive.
Expressing the conviction that
young Wells was not the slayer
the father nevertheless corrobo-
rated the opinion in college circles
here that the youth was impul-
Sively temperamental and capable
Of flying off the handle" In the
event he did commit the crime,
the father said, it was not unlikely
George would have climaxed his
deed in some such dramatic fash
ion.
If such was the case, author.
tiles said it might be weeks before
his body is found.

Accompanying the President and
Mrs. Roosevelt in the lead car

True to their motto, BE pre-.

meet at the Ambassador Theater
here this morning to begin a two
day preview exhibition of i'm

Mr.. Deeds At
The Little

"Mr. Deeds Goes to Town."
which has clinched its place as
one OF the dozen best movie COM
edies of all time, sailed back into
the Little Theater for a revival
engagement yesterday. The pic
ture that discovered Gary Cooper
as a comedian, launched Jean Ar
thur as asstar and won Director
Capra the Motion Picture Award
for 1886, these is little news that
can be said about it.
Everybody saw it-or should
have. Most people saw it twice
or wanted to. Based upon Clar-
ence Buddington Kelland's yarn
of the small-town tuba player who
comes to the big city to collect a
$4,000 inheritance, its chief fas-
cination is that it is always human
and logical. True it's wakes hi
lariouS through eXaggeration, but
it is never farce.
What happens to Gary as "Mr.
Deeds" might happen to almost
anybody in the same situation.
Well, to three people, then. Per
haps, Mr.. Capra has packed Mr..
Deeds experiences more heavily
than one real human could stand.
The point is that you will laugh
not only at the Little but for
hours afterwards. Maybe you'll
even dry a tear or two. It
handles it's contrasts well. Besides
Gary as Mr.. Deeds, Jean as the
newspaper reporter, who kids him
and then falls in love with him,
the perfect cast includes George
Bancroft, Douglas Dumbrille, Ray.
mond Walburn, Ruth Donnelly, H
B Warner, Lionel Stander and
Walter Catlett.
If you don't yet know where
"pixilated" and "doodlers" origi
mated, don't let anything stop you
from finding out. You may not
get another chance.

EARLY Benny
Film Clicks
At RiQIto

Lots of "all-star" musical come
dies have come and gone since
Transatlantic Merry-Go-Roun
first broke records three seasons
ago. Glittering arrays Of names
no longer mean a glittering show.
What matters is what the names"
do. In Transatlantic Merry.Go-
Round" they do their best. Which
is why United Artists has re-
issued it (you mustn't call it a
revival and the Riarto booked it
Immediately to open yesterday.
Produced before Jack Benny
was the tops among radio come
dams, it can claim to be a cause
rather than result Of his present
popularity. He may have been as
funny since, but everybody can
find something to argue about.
Anyway. he hasn't been any fun
nier.
LOVE INTEREST
Gene Raymond and Nancy
Carroll, who carry the love inter-
est, don't really do much else, but
they do it we'll. And if you've for
gotten that Nancy was one Of the
cutest things ever to hit the
screen, you might enjoy refresh
ing yOur memory,
Next to Benny, what really mat
tiers is the array of specially" per-
formerS-MitZi Green's imperson-
alton of George ArliSS, the Bos-
well Sisters rendition of Rock
and Roll" Frank Parker and Jean
Sargent's cooling Of IF I Had a
Million Dollars" and the dizzy sue
cession of assorted nuttiness pur-
veyed by Sid Silvers, Sydney How
ard, Patsy Kelly and Sam Hardy.
A SHOW TROUPE
The story, which finds Benny as
boss of a show troupe aboard a
transatlantic liner, Gene as an in
ternational jewel thief, and Nancy
as pretty entertainer, even builds
up to q murder to make way for
the happy ending.
Granted that the straight" Sec
ton of the cast-Ralph Morgan,
Sidney Blackmer and William
Boyd-could carry the show alone,
however, it is the melodious and
the mirthful folk who walk off
with the honorS.
