CAPITOL PICTURE FEATURES ABUSES
 IN REF0RMATORY

An intensely exciting and al ways moving melodrama of girls reformatory, Prison With out Bars" poduced by Alexander Korda, was last night presented to an enthusiastic audience at the Capitol Theater In addition to in- troducing Corinne Luchaire, who gives a finely sensitive portrayal as reformatory girl, the new film presents a vivid cross-section of life in a French penal institution.
 Against a background of starkly realistic settings, gripping and dramatic story, well off the beaten track, is unreeled with point and pace
 The early scenes of the film es- tablish the main theme of the story showing the shocking. al most brutal, treatment meted out to the prisoners. These are mo- ments of violent and strong action, highlighted by scenes depicting a battle among the girls.
 This feature is on for final show ing tonight.

 PLEASES FANS Al
 COLISEUM THEATRE

Teamed together for the first time, George Raft and Ellen Drew scored distinct personal triumphs last night at the Coliseum Theater. where Paramount unveiled what was hailed as the perfect racetrack picture. It's the The Lady's From Kentucky" a picture crammed full of racing thrills, and notable also for the quality of its humor dis pensed by those inimitable zanies Hugh Herbert and zaSu Pitts.
 Strictly in keeping with the Blue Grass flavor of the picture, an unusual dramatic twist is em- ployed to bring the leading man and leading lady together Tn fact, the dramatic twist takes the form of a race horse named Roman Son. and George Raft meets Ellen Drew when he finds that they are CO., owners of the horse

 Feeling of Depression
 A deep feeling of depression is creeping over the Finnish people as the full effects of the treaty became apparent to the masses.
 Helsinki's leading newspaper edi- torially expressed the common feel ing of the Finnish people today when it said:
 To-day we have every reason to be in sorrow and hang out our flags at half mast, for today our native land lies like 8 wounded bird upon the white snow, she'd ding cut it's life blood before the heartless eyes of a cruel hunter It is only our forlorn hope that the cruel wound may heal, that the bird may rise to sing again.
