SHOWING YOUTH THAT CRIME
DOESN'T PAY
(By BRUCE CATTON)

Ifycu should see policeman IN uniform
neglecting his beat in order to help bunch
of boys stage an informal baseball game
on vacant lot. you probably would Won
der irritably just what that copper thought
the city was paying him for.
On second thought, however, you might
feel differently. For if a cops chief job is
to prevent crime, the officer who teaches
the youngsters in his district to look up to
him as q friend and counsellor is doing a
very efficient and praise-worthy job Of
crime prevention.
J. Edgar Hoover. chief Oman, touched
on this point the other day in a speech be-
fore the annual convention of the lnterna-
tional Association of Chiefs of Police, at
Baltimore.
Suppose. said Mr.. Hoover, that a $780,
600 bank robbery occurs in given city.
Every yongSter in town is, to a certain
degree, stirred by the excitement and the
adventure of the affair. In a great many
cases he will conclude that the robber has
done a brave and romantic thing and is a
person to be emulated. In other words, he
makes a hero of him.
But if the police have means of contact
with the city'S yOuth-through police ath-
letic associations, police play officers, po-
lice instructors and umpires for sandlot
athletic contests, and so On-then the po-
lice have fine chance to make youth see
the'robber. not as hero but as a sap.
hot 40
mind of youth the fact that someone got
100000" said Mr.. Hoover. He can
listen to platitudeS forever, but the thought
remains i'm his mind-a man robbed bank
and man got 100000, and certainly in
this instance crime must have been made
to pay. And so our job as the guardians OF
youth is to say why and how that 100000
is worthless.
1.-THE boy must be made to understand
that the money can be spent for no sensible
purpose He must be shown that this sum
will be split among dozens of persons
whom the rObber must pay for aiding his
escape.
'sHe can be convinced that every cent Of
this money for which a man has dared his
life and the pententiary must either be
expended for things which do him not one
particle of good or be paid out in a des-
perate effort to defeat the law, leaving
him in the end pennilesS, a broken being
living in filthy, worm-eaten, rocking
house of crime and robbed of everything
worthwhile which life of decency might
haYe given him."
That, as Mr.. Hoover says, is a job well
worth doing. 1t is job the police can do
easily enough, if they have the contacts
with youth that enable them TO get their
messages across. Such contacts, obtained
through a systematic campaign of friend
ship and understanding, could be invalua-
blesin the great work of crime-prevention.
The average criminal starts out as a
juvenile cop-hater. If that trend can be re-
versed, great step in law-enforcement
can be taken.

Two years ago Metro Goldwyn-
Mayer undertook the creation Of
a new and somewhat daring
idea. To merge in one huge
production the excitement Of a
great drama and the glorieS Of
a majestic musical entertain.
ment.
The result Of this effort is
"The Firefly" which Loew's
Palace will present with a spe-
cial premiere starting at 1880
wednesday night.
There are said to be delights
galore in this lavish production
which brings together jeanette
Macdonald and Allan Jones as
new singing sweethearts and has
in it's cast Warren william, Billy
Gilbert, Douglas Dumbrille,
Henry Danielle and any
others.
Love Is Like A Firefly,"
"Giannina Mia" "He Who Loves
and Runs Away" "a Woman's
KISS" when A Maid Comes
knocking At Your Door," Sym
pathy," are among the lifting
melodies Of the Rudolph Friml
score, offering musical thrills in
profuSion. .
The story is laid in one Of the
most action-filled periods in
history, the Napoleanic War in
Spain, and both geographic
background and costumes are
said to make it a feast for the
eyes. Against the background
Of Napolean's invasion Of Spain
and his ultimate defeat at the
hands of Wellington, there is
told an engrossing story Of love
of the beautiful Spanish spy
and Napolean's spy who be-
trayed her.
Following the Wednesday mid
night premiere the film will
begin its regular showing Thurs
day morning. There is to be no
advance in price either for the
midnight show or the Subse-
Quent ShowingS.

compete with a respect for the
dead custom that still survives.
You might be reminded Of
Noel Coward's tabloid comedy,
Family Album" in which the
sorrowing relatives gather after
Papa's funeral to talk it all over,
and under the warming in
fluence Of some old Madeira,
speak up, agree that the late
lamented was really an old so
and so. Alas, Playwright George
is no Coward in dealing with
tricky moods.
Miss Gears infatuation for
the role of Pamela Pennington
may be explained by the heap
ing portion of wisecracks writ
ten into the character. Every
time the Baltimore Pamela opens
her mouth bon mot is sup
posedly released. To me three
acts of a perpetual Dorothy
Parker were just a little irritat-
ing and this is no reflection on
Luella Gears facile talent for
handling biological speech in
the comedienne manner. Some
of the jokes on the making OF

On the credit side of ITO Be
Continued" was the straight act
ing of William David, Richard
Jack and Dorothy Bernard and
That's Lawton, whose chief task
was to feed Pamela with the
reason for a snappy retort.
Tookie Hunter put considerable
verve into the ingenue role and
minor comedy roles were well
handled by Claire Carleton and
Ruth Chorpenning.
Ciggest laugh of the evening
came when "F. F. VS." we're de-
scribed as Fault Finding Vir-

I should say, is ITO Be Con-

"Show Boat" Edna Ferber's

at the Little Theater.
Next to the fact that its story
and its songs are modern clas-
sizes, the pleasantest thing about
the new "Show Boat" is that it
has four top-notch singing stars,
each with numbers peculiarly
