"MAGNIFICENT DOPE" COMING
 10TH CENTURY
Don Amethe Is Co., starred with Henry Fonda,
 lynn Bari

Are you shy, backward, too com placentp Are you lacking in the qualities of which successful busi- ness men are made? Do you need a good, loud laugh? Then look up Professor Dwight Dawson, alias Don Ameche, the renowned char acter builder who, co-starred with Henry Fonda and Lynn Bari, will conduct classes at the 20th Gen. tury Theatre starting Sunday in "The Magnificent Dope" new mirthful 20th Century-Fox com edy.
 Whoever doubts the efficacy of the course, and its ability in a short space of time to transform pills" into pillars of society, need only refer to the case of Tad Page (Henry Fonda. When he first heard of Dwight Dawson, Tad was a gangling, indolent country lad totally ignorant of what made the wheels of industry turn. But after the prescribed time at the good professors feet, he was still totally. We'll. anyway, Tad was not a very willing student
 For he was too imbued with the glories of his native Vermont to take to city ways. And, had he not succumbed at the very outset to the beauty of Claire Harris Oynn Barb, the institutes press agent, he would not have tolerat- ed the high-pressure professor for so much as one day.
 Although the Dawson Institute may be subject to suspicion, ad- vance reports indicate that there need be no divided opinion as to the merry merits of "The Magni- ficent Dope" Previewers agree that the film is topnotch laugh hit.

HOLD-UP KILLER
 WILL GET CHAIR
Maine Youth Sentenced to Die; Jury Brings in Yer.
 dict in Hour

Bridgeport, Conn, Feb. 20-(Up) --Convicted of first degree murder by superior court jury that de- liberated slightly more than an hour, Leonard Richards, 10, (432 waldo St. Rumford, Me-, was sen- tenced today to die in the electric chair July 27 for the holdup killing of Charles Sine, 67-year.old defense worker, last June.
 Real T. Grenier, 20 (20 Water St., Waterville, Me, an accomplice of Richards, who pleaded guilty to aiding, assisting and abbeting in Q robbery, was sentenced to an iI1- definite reformatory term.
 Sine was beaten and robbed on the night of November 12, 1922, and Richards and Grenier were arrest cd in Maine few days later and brought here for trial.
 After the jury returned its ver- dict, Richards was called before the bench and asked if he had any, thing to say before sentence was imposed.
 ''No, Sir," he said firmly.
 After. hearing the death penalty, Richards was led to 8 basement cell by deputy sheriff.
 I'm all right" he said breezily. 1T can take it."
 Richards had refused to take the witness stand in lils own defense, and Q psychiatriSt, Dr. Daniel Grif- fin, the only defense witness, testi- fled that he had the mentality of a child of l3 and that he was of "dull- normal" intelligence.
 The state rested its case after reading Q confession purportedly made by Richards, that he planned the robbery after learning that Sine was in the habit of carrying large sums of money on his person.
 The robbery netted e6 dollars, 0t which Richards said he kept $7O and gave the balance to Grenier when they left town after the holdup.
 The killing occurred as Sine re- turned home from work. He was beaten with large stick.
 Sine'S widow was in the courtroom when Judge Ernest A. Inglis deliv- cred his charge to the jury, but she did not return to hear the verdict or sentence.

DEAN DESCRIBES
 WAR EXPERIENCES
''ThrilI Writer" Meets Up With Real Thing in
 African Desert

Robert George Dean, popular author of mystery books, described in an interview yesterday at his home in Middlebury his experiences with the ambulance service in Asia and Africa.
 He stated that 6 war cannot be won by air alone because remark- ably little damage is accomplished by bombing Q city during the night.
 The mystery author reached Miami, Florida Monday after hav- ing served in Asia and Africa with the American Field Service for more than a year, primarily as an anbu- lance driver.
 He described the Arny's retreat from TObruck to what was to be- come the Alamein line, as well as on the sands of the Egyptian des- ert, as Q marvellous thing, grim as 1t was" The men had all the confidence in the world, with the idea "We1l be back" "And sure enough they were,' he added.
 He regarded highly the New Zea- land troops, which, he pointed out, are comprised entirely of volunteers. ''They're more like Americans than any other, in fact, they say we ought to be the 4oth state.'"
 Through the desert, where the men learned to drive entirely by compass and with a sense of what sand was safe for vehicles, the "flies were horrible. Egyptian flies look like ours but they're much braver. You can't frighten them away"
 They got 50 "bad that the major ity of the men gave up eating at noon because the flies are only around from stln-up to sun-down." ]" Men have to sleep under mosquito netting and are ordered not to wear shorts or short sleeves after 6 p. m., particularly in malarial areas.
 He described the lack of water as one of the worst things. Ameri- cans were advised to cut down on their water before landing in the ,Gsert. They were allowed less than quart a day for all purposes, and you finally got so you didn't drink 1t at all, 1t was 50 brakish, he said. Tea was served instead, he added, which was sufficient liquid for the men.
 While abroad, MT. Dean edited the American Field Service bulle- tin, which helped keep him in touch with his profession. He also wrote 150,000 words on his experience, which is fin the hands of the cen- sors now"
 The writer hopes to get into Q branch of the American service now, although, at present his plans are indefinite.
 MT. Dean is the author of "A Mur- der of Convenience" which in 1888 was the book of the month selection of the Crime Club.
