THE HAIRY APE"
 IS FEATURE AT
 CAPITOL TONIGHT

The first motion picture version of "The Hairy Ape, Eugene ONeill's famous modern fable of the beauty who reached through barrel chest and touched tender heart, starring William Bendix and Susan Hay ward, with John Loder and Dorothy Comingore in prominent roles, opens at the Capitol tonight.
 This is drama of two individuals on opposite sides of the railroad tracks-a spoiled society girl and a rough-and-ready yet sensitive stok- er-and produced by Jules Levey, a sales executive turned producer.
 It was MT. Levey who finally con- vinced Mir O'Neill after g years that his grim, intensely human drama, which once shook New York theatre-goers out of their seats, could be successfully presented on the screen And Mir O'Neill, who himself once tried vainly to write a picture script, gave his blessings to ! one prepared.
 The new script changes the origin al O'Neill view of hopeless and ire concilable class hatred into the premise that anyone who gains the proper perspective of his own lot will be happy if he tries.
 William Bendix plays the part of the hairy-chested Ape" who is jolt ed almost into insanity by the in- vective hurled at him by society girl, acted by Susan Hayward.
 And Miss Hayward, playing the most unusual role of her career becomes despicable but lovely brat who gets what's coming to her.

ALL ABOUT BARRY
 FITZGERALD NOW
 AT 10TH CENTURY

When Barry Fitzgerald, the vete- ran Irish actor who is portraying the old priest in Paramount's Go ing My Way at the 2oth Century Theatre for the last times tonight, with Bing Crosby and Rise Stevens, started riding motorcycle to work, he received some words of warning. He was an accomplished rider as a youth in Ireland, he told Crosby and Miss Stevens, so didn't see any req son why he shouldn't start again.
 But Director producer Leo Me Carey made just one request of Fitz- gerald-not to ride to work in his priests cassock. Apart from the possibility of startling all motorists and pedestrians en route, Leo was afraid the cassock might catch in the spokes or drive chain, and rob him of his principal character actor

mony was told by Japanese pris-
 cner who said he had been cook
 for General Ushijima
 His story:
 On the night of June 21, the cook
 was given instructions to prepare a
 dinner for an important occasion. In his kitchen, near the seaward entrance to the cave, he prepared
 rice, canned meats, potatoes, fried fish cakes, salmon, bean soup, fried cabbage, pineapples and tea. There
 was saki for an appetizer. At a. m, on June g, the cook
 was busy preparing breakfast when an orderly came and whispered that Ushijima and Chow were going to commit "Seppuku," Japanese term for honorable suicide.
 Forty minutes later, both Generals appeared in full field uniform with their medals pinned to their blouses, their boots highly polished. They
 were accompanied by aides and fol- lowed by members of the staff to the narrow ledge at the seaward en- trance.
 The two Generals conversed in low tones. A heavy comforter was placed on the ledge. Over it was
 laid white sheet, symbolic of death. Ushijima knelt with his knees on
 the sheet, his head bent slightly for
 ward. Chow knelt on his left. Both faced the Pacific Ocean. The nar-
 rowness of the ledge prevented them from facing north toward the Im-
 rerial palace.
 An aide held two knives, each half wrapped in white cloth. An adjut- ant, with drawn saber, stood on
 Ushiiimas right. Both General bar ed their abdomens. AS Ushijima plunged a knife into his stomach, | the adjutant swung his saber down. wards, severing the Generals spinal column. He tumbled forward dead. Chow went through an identical ceremony.
 Staff members filed back into the cave as three orderlies chopped out coral rock The bodies then were
 partially covered with stones.

WOmen's Jury Bill
Passed By House

The "wonen's injury" bill passed
the House Of Delegates sc to 26
and headed FOR the Senate, where
it was killed at the 1913 General
Assembly session by a single vote.
Its final passage in the House
came with no debae, bu no such
peaceful course was predicted for
it in the Senate.
The measure would provide that
thereafter no person shall be dis
qualified for service as a juror in
this State by reason Of SEX"
The only opposition fof the bill
beyond the "nay" votes came when
Delegate LIE Roy Humphrey d.,
Prince Georges) proclaimed "on
behalf Of 80 Per cent of the women
Of Prince Georges County, l vote
no."
In the Senate, more serious trou-
bic was expected, although at least
two Senators who voted against the
bill in 1913 were repored to favor
it if amended to eXtmpt the
mothers of children under IL. This
proposed amendment was reported
to be acceptable to the National
Women's Party and the Maryland
Fe Grafton Of Women's Clubs.
Should the bill pass the Senate
and become law with the Cover
nor's signature, it would mark the
end Of fight for women's jury
service which has extended over
more than two decades.
