BIG HISTORICAL
 ROMANCE iS AT
 CAPITOL THEATRE

Heralded as one of the most unforgettable love stories of all times, Magnificent Doll, a Uni versal release, which opened at the Capitol Theatre yesterday, more than lives up to all claims.
 Ginger Rogers stars in the role cf the fabulous glamorous Dolly Madison, whose desires determined the destiny of a nation.
 David Niven, who is co-starred as that handsome, evil genius, the traitor, Aaron Burr, plays his role with such consummate skill that at last the twisted, complex brilliance that guided the worst scoundrel this country has ever known, be- comes understandable.
 Burgess Meredith, as the kindly philosophic James Madison, pitt ing his shy love for Dolly against the fiery passions of Burr to win her heart, brings history to life.
 The story of Magnificent Doll" is the story of Dolly Madison and the men in her life.
 This feature runs again to- night, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Thursday was the anniver-

pact for nine years. On March
10: he went to the Jackson
Park bridge spanning the Ia

where Darrow's ashes were
scattered. Knee1ing, he held a

On Monday, March 3. at the
Cook County Morgue there was
an inquest into the causes of
the deaths of three people who
were killed the Sunday before
in the explosion of an old build
ing at Van Buren, and Wells.
The daily papers wrote of the
explosion as If it had given
Chicago a wonderful holiday.
A few sentences in some of the
stories suggested that the fire
department and The City
Council ought to find out why

I was there at the inquest
and I saw the brother of Mr..
Harry Koontz, one of the vic
Tins. The brother was crying;
he looked dazed and could
hardly speak to answer the
questions put to him by Coro-

ner Brodie.

I ALSO saw one of the own
ers of the shattered building,
a man named Mr.. Bell, and
heard him answer questions.
He was strong, squarely-built
man with reddish blond hair
becoming quite thin. He had
frank, ruddy face and was neat
ly, quietly dressed, altogether
respectable in appearance but
he acted guilty and frightened.
He and his partners had been
in possession of the building
for two weeks. Prior to that
they had been agents collecting
rents from the tenants for the
Ascom Hotel Company.
Here's the story Mr.. Bell told
under questioning. He and his
partners had acquired the
building after acting as it's
agents for some years. He'd had
business connections with that

the newspaper and cried out:

of his freedom because he does
just what every other human
being in the world is trying to

fellow men to see things as he

THE danger to this country

he exclaimed. at is from those
who worship no God but greed;
it is from those who are so
blind and devoted to their idol

That would paralYze the

Fate was in his eyes. Then re-

the ground floor of the build
ing was still missing in the
rubble. His name was Pappas.
His body was found that night.
When questioned, Mr.. Bell
said he had never met Mr.. Pap
pas, had never been inside any
of the small shops, the candy
store, the restaurants or the
barbershop from whose own
ers Mr.. Bell had been collect
ing rent for a long time.
Mr.. Bell could not Describe the
building he'd once managed
and now owned in terms other

ITO my knowledge" he said
guardedly, "the structure was

Mr.. Bell had managed the
building and become one of its
owners and knew practically
nothing about it. He was not
under obligation to heat it, had
never had a moments human
contact with the people who

HOW was the building heat

did not know but had heard
that each tenant heated his own
premises with gas.
Who lived on the second floor
of the building? "To my knowl-
edge" MIR. Bell answered, mo
one lived on the second floor"
He spoke accusingly here as
if he were angry with someone
for trespassing While he talked
the gashed, bloody, dead body
of one of those trespassing sec

ONLY a few minutes before
the inquest that body had been

probably could find no other

of surprise at the things Mr..
Bell confessed. Everybody was
glad the explosion hadn't hap
pened on a weekday when the
sidewalks of VanBuren and
Wells and all the buildings
around are crowded with work
ing people, commuters and
travellers and shoppers. Only
four people had died in the
blast instead of thousands.
But the families of those four
people are suffering horror and
shocking grief For the rest
of their lives they'll be asking
themselves, Who did it? "Why
did this have to happen to my
loved ones? What did they do
to deserve to die like that?
