 From the American and Eng fish Encyclopedia of Law, volume 1, page 845. Who are Police Off, ficers?

1 The Wolcott bill, which is dis cussed by Constable Delfino, pro- Nides that the constables will be elected, as the state statutes require { it, but they would not be able to make arrests. They simply would be granted the right to serve writs in 'Hivil suits.
 1 woodbridge originated the idea by requesting a police commission and seeking the abolition of the con- stabuIary there. The latter request is contrary to the statutes, and Wol- colt has omitted it. The officers appointed by the proposed commits sion would be known as police men,"

A challenging indictment Of bis- otry and mob violence has received superb motion-plcture treatment in They Won't Forget" which heads the new show at Warmers state theater today and tomorrow,
 It Is based on Ward Greene's novel of sectional prejudice, Death in tho Deep South" which bore striking resemblance, In turn, to an actual cause celebre of perverted justice.
 It Is to the abiding credit Of Warner Brothers that the firm has made and continues to make such films aS this one. It Is not on offer. Ing that has rolled of Q Hollywood assembly line. Like MT, LeRoy's II Am Q Fugitive From 0 Chain Gang" or Archie L. Mayo'S Black Legion" 1t considers some ugly aspects ot our civilization unflinchingly.
 It has been Q daring but wise move to cast comparative unknowns in the principal roles. Under MT. LeRoy'S Shrowd guidance, their per- formances are close to perfect. Ed ward Norris, as the iil-fated teach- or, contriVes to make the character come under reasonable suspicion at the outset and yet appear definitely innocent before the climax, while Gloria Dickson, rS his wife, Is trag- ically impotent to save him.

STRAND

Frank Capra's magnificent pro- duction of the fantastic inaginings of James Hilton set forth in his best selling novel Lost Horizon" may be seen today, tomorrow, Fri- day and Saturday on the screen of Warner Brothers Strand theater.
 "L,ost Horizon," fresh from its roadshow triumphs in over 100 cit- les, is full of the things that make Q picture great. Capra knows these essentials, probably better than anyone else in Hollywood, and he uses them SO subtly and so effec- lively that they hold one en- thralled.
 The characterization is excellent throughout. Ronald Colman, one of our Suavest leading men, Is the ideal choice for Robert Conway, the empire builder, who longs for peace of spirit. John Howard is equally effective as his inpetuous brother. Just the right spicing of comedy is provided by Edward Everett Hor- ton aS the ahsent-minded paleaIl- tologist and Thomas Mitchell as Barnard, the fugitive American financier. Jane Wyatt brings added beauty to shangrila aS Sondra and Isabel Jewell and Margo fulfil ad- Inirably the roles assigned to them.
 The companion feature is "One Mile From Heaven" with Claire Trevor and Sally Blanc.

BOSTON SYMPHONY
 ANNOUNCES PLANS
Arrangements Whereby Monthly Subscription
 Rate May Be Had

An innovation in the operating plans of the Boston Symphony Or ohestra Is to be made, which Inu- sloal authorities predict will prove of great significance to hundreds outside the ranks of confirmed weekly symphony concertgoers. The announcement comes from Serge KouSSevitsky, world-famous con- duetor of the orchestra, generally regarded as the greatest and most aristocratio in the world,
 The concerts of the regular" sea- soh are played every week except when the orchestra Is on tour. Pa irons have the choice of suhscrib- ing, or seeking single tickets, for a Friday afternoon or Q Saturday evening performance of an identical program.
 MT. Koussevitzy's new plan offers to those who cannot, or do not wish to. attend symphonic programs weekly, the opportunity to attend once c month. These performances will comprise six paired programs, instead of twenty-four. Hence the subscription cost will be lower than for the longer series, although the full strength of the orchestra will play-one hundred and ten men, Patrons of the shorter series will have the choice of six concerts on Monday evenings, or six on Tues day evenings, with an identical pro- gram,
 To those living outside Boston, the Tuesday matinees will offer the convenient feature of not com mencing until 3 o'clock. Music- loving out-of-towners, 1t is thought, will Ind this an advantage. They may visit or shop in Boston in the forenoon and early afternoon, and then "top of" the day by going in imid-afternoon to Symphony Hall to enjoy the expressive conducting of Koussevit1ky and the magnit- icent playing the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
 The dates for the Monday evening concerts are: october 2, December ~, January l7, February 2l, March 2l, April lS. The Tuesday matinees are: October 2e. December 2s. Jan- uary ls, February a, March a, April 70,
 A census of Boston Symphony subscribers shows patronage ex- tending far beyond Boston. Mati- nee audiences in travelling to sym phony Hall for c single concert cover the equivalent of twice the distance around the world. Every Friday afternoon, listeners come from aS far north as Castine and Bar Harbor, Maine; aS far as Hyan- his, Mass; as far west as Pittsfield, Mass: as far south as New 4ed- ford, Mass: and aS far to the south west as Waterbury, Conn.
