wasn't nearly so bad as it first SEEM

she stalked through the hedge gate
and raped on the door of the cot

raped again, but no one answered.
From doghouse near a grape
arbor the brown and white setter
yipped at her. Her impulse was to
heave a stone at him, but instead
she went home, wrote a curt note,
and fastened it to the screen door of
the cottage next door. Then she went
back through the gate and tried to
fasten it. only to discover the catch
had come loose and the gate wouldn't
stay closed. Angrily she braced it
with clothes pole and returned to
her ironing.
About six o'clock the phone rang.

voice, the person who pinned the
note to my screen door?"

There was an incoherent sputtering
at the other end Of the wire, but
Candace didn't wait for articulation.
She slammed down the receiver.
IT WAS the very next morning that
she was startled by another canine
yelp. Rushing to the rear door. she
observed Charcoal, yipping shrilly,
tearing through the hedge gate from
the yard next door. Indignant and
amazed that Charcoal should have
left his own yard without permission,
she scolded him, locked him in the
kitchen. and then went to brace the
hedge gate again with the clothes
pole, which had fallen down in the
night.
About 7 o'clock she heard a step
on the back porch and went out to
discover a note pinned to her screen
door.
"If that f1ea-bitten mongrel of
yours sets foot on my property again."
the note read, "Ill kick his spine

 The long buried questions and problems of penology are brought to the screen in Warner Bros. thrill ing melodrama, "Over The Wall" which headlines the marvellous double bill coming to the screen of Warner Bros.

His literary efforts have also been well received He penned 10000 Years In Sing Sing" about five years ago, which was put on the screen by Warner Bros. and was a tremendous hit.
 Starring Dick Foran, popular star recently transferred from westerns, with beautiful June Travis, the film depicts the gripping story of a man falsely imprisoned for murder.
 Foran is now finished with Vest ern pictures, after making them for two years, ana IS henceforth to play in straight dramas and com edies without the chaps and spurs.
 Forans singing voice, always so appealing, is heard to excellent ef- feet in "Over The Wall"
 He becomes member of the prison choir, whose songs are broadcast weekly, and thus he wins for himself a tremendous public and the attention of the governor, who is persuaded to listen to some new evidence which clears him of the false accusations.
 Miss Travis, as the faithful sweetheart who never doubted her boy friends innocence, is the one who digs up this evidence after some pretty clever work and some pretty thrilling adventures with the crooks who framed Dick.

Who are they? THE THREE RITZ BRO- THEIRS. Overnight these three con- edians, who possess an inimitable style of comedy-making, became the rave of America. Fans wrote in by the thousands, to movies producers demanding more film with this trio. Conceding to- these demands they have been seen in such hits as "On The Avenue" You Can't Have Everything, "Sing, Baby, Sing" and Life Begins in College" Their most recent hit was the technicolor "Goldwyn Follies," where they stole the picture with their rendition of Pussy, Pussy"
 Their mad antics in all of these previous films. have merely been an overture to what they show you in Kentucky Moonshine" opening to- morrow at the Loew Poli theater, for four day engagement.
 Any statement that would try to explain what will take place at this popular theater tomorrow when Kentucky Moonshine" is shown to a sure-to-be hysterical audience would be inadequate.
 And aside from all the mad antics, the picture contains three new songs by the same team which made the college picture tuneful sensation.
