Pardon System Abuses

Abuses of the pardon system have been subject
for discussion in all states of the union but the
tinuaton of granting pardons to habitual criminals
goes just the same. This brought to light
forcbly in the triple Staying at Osseo, committed
by pardoned convict, with penitentiary service
and criminal record long the proverbia Chinese
dragon
According to reports the murderer
leased from prison in Bismark N D., that he could
take job in Minnesota. His record was such that
he should not have received pardon. This action
the part of North Dakota officials has brought
about reasons for argument between them and Min
Officials yet North Dakotas officials have done
nothing serious than officials or pardon boards
of other states
Recently Belni, Chicago thug, was freed on
condition that he leave Minnesota, and County Ator
ney A. R. Bergeson, of Fargo N. D.. who concurred
in the action of the North Dakota state pardon boaro
freeing the Osseo murderer said: II hope that fellow
Joe Bellini doesn't come to North Dakota"
Yet the pardoned convict from North Dakota
committed murder in Minnesota, and the guilt of
shedding the blood of those innocent people cannot
be wholly laid to the murderer. An investigation OF
his record should have revealed him as souless,
hardened criminal who should have been kept in
confinement as protection to the decent people OF
the state of North Dakota, well as the people OF
the nation. Criminal records should be considered
from that standpoint. The sob stuff handed out by
the sobssters and sobbrohers may let the heart
away with the head-but someone should be held
responsible for the crimes committed by pardoned
habual criminals The criminal it is said, must pay
his debt to society, yet one can bring back the
lives of the slain. But who shall pay the debt to
society for the careless condition which brought about
these murders? That question must be considered
later if crimes such the one referred to
are to be averted

actor to play the leading role in
the perturbation Of Clifford Odets'
play, Golden Boy" has brought a
studio contract to another promising
player, following one given to Richard
Fiske. several days ago. The latest
aspirant for cinema honors is Stanley
Brown, California college boy. who
has had lifetime of theatrical ex-
perience, but has never come to the
attention Of film producers.
Brown made his debut at the age
OF 8, with his parents in musical
comedy, and retired" for scholastic
reasons at the age Of 6. Young
Browns schooldays had the theater
as perennial interlude. Summer va
cations drew him back to acting. He
played in travelling stage units and
had several seasons Of dramatic stock
in the Middle West. In his college
shows he had the leading roles, and
after graduation joined the Hollywood
production of THE Drunkard," as
juvenile lead and master of cere-
monies.
Learning that Columbia sought an
unknown for the hero Of Clifford
Odets' play Golden Boy" Brown
presented himself and received a test,
1t did not win him the part, but it
convinced studio executives he was

elected to the parliament over which
the latter presides, it is not the per-
feet vehicle for demonstrating the
acting talents of the leading lady. As
the daughter of the family, who falls
in love with the servant so popular
with the electorate, she has a lot to
prove which depends upon catching
the imagination of the audience. If
she fails, it is because Mr.. Bus -Fekete
lacked the talent of a Maxwell Ander-
son--or some other playwright given
to covering up the weakness of his
idea with the eloquence OF his writ
ing. In his intention to scramble the
social setup, Mr. Bus-Fekete had
good idea for amusing the theater's
customers and even when he fails to
derive what might be the last word
in amusement, it is not hard to for
give him.
The story Of "The Lady Has q
Heart" is the one which was told re-
Gently in the movies under the title,
The Baroness and the Butler" If
any one has not guessed its substance
already. it involves a perfect valet of
a prime minister who is elected to
parliament, demonstrates himself to
be politically terribly wise man, and
eEds up in the arms of the prime
minister's daughter.

that Mr.. Cochran has the making Of

As the phenomenal valet, a great man
without great breeding, Leslie Denison
comes to grips with script which
leaves him gasping at times, but still
enables him to leave the impression
that he will be fine leading man.

And so one comes to the summation
that THE Lady Has Heart" is not

Sophistication Comes
TOCrOss Roads Via
Coward PLAY.

SoPH1s11cAT1oN in the Coward
manner came to this division OF
the cowbarn entertainment system
last night with presentation of "Pri-
vate Lives" at the Cross Roads The
ater, Baileys Cross Roads. Va. Play
ing Coward in such q bucolic edifice
is not unheard of, Of course. but it
does represent something bit differ
ent for this vicinity, and, therefore.
takes rank automatically as an inter-
esting experiment. The performance
last night, however. was more than
that. II proved to be an entertaining
and essentially efficient treatment of
Deah Nuhl's piece.
Catherine Ryan and Jack Wilson,
particularly the latter, succeeded in
projecting effectively the principal
characterizations. Miss Ryan and Mr..
Wilson have earned designation as de-
pendable wheelhorses OF the company,
and their acting in Mr.. Coward's play
was more than ordinarily commend
able. The second act is two-person
assignment, and one of the more try
ing chores Of its Sort The performers
managed to keep it interesting almost
continuously, something with which
any players might be pleased.
Miss Ryan frequently was stilted Of
reading and movement in the first act,
although she acquired smoothness with
each minute; Mr.. Wilson and David
Kaigler (as Miss Ryan's new hus-
band went up on their lines several
times; Mr.. Kaigler conducted himself
rather listlessly. These were un-
doubted detractions. but the produc-
tiop considered in sum (that would be
including the able work Of Ethel Nc
keon as the other woman in the
quartet) provided an enjoyable session
with Mr. Coward.

the movies, was there playing the
leading feminine role. So, too, was
Mr.. Cochran. who was opening a new
theater of his own. So also were
majority of Mr.. Cochran's friends.
The result was a gallant and gala
evening, but after that is said, there
still remains play to be reviewed.
"The Lady Has Heart" is much
better entertainment for summer than
1t would be (has been, truth to telD
for any other season. It is light,
amiable. none-too- credible, and based
upon the so-called liberal assumption
that we all are nice people under the
skin. Proving the assumption is
somewhat harder than merely accept
ing it. as Mr. Ladislaus Bus-Fekete ap-
parently thought. There were mo-
ments when it seemed otherwise, mo-
ments in which all members of the
cast were working together as Director
George Vivian had told them to do.
But there were other moments when
the thing was not moving smoothly
and the latter were the ones in which
Mr.. Bus-Feketes premise seemed less
logical to his audience than it did to
him.
That does not mean that the eve
ming which marked the opening of the
Olney Theater, before a distinguished
audience, was lost. 1t was a thing of
mirth and neighborliness even at those
times when actors were tripping over
lines, enunciation was not clear, tim
ing was merely premise of some
thing better, and the spectators found
their chief enjoyment in the contem-
plation of the sheer loveliness of Miss
Landi and the excellent quality OF the
production. The former. which is to
say Miss Landi. was above the stand
ard Of the old National Theater Play
ers. The latter was just as good. The
play. an inescapable truth, was not.
1t is a strange fact, however, that
while the play is the thing on most
occasions. it seemed to be entirely
secondary on this one.
