S. Consul Washington, Jan. 11.—(P)—BSecre- tary Stimson Monday asked a remis- sion of a part of the severe punish- ernment on those held responsible for the attack on American Counsul Cul- ver B, Chamberlain at Mukden. The Japanese government submit- ted to the secretary four points for} punishment as reparations for the at- tack on the consul by Japanese sol | diers and civilians. The first was the dismissal of the civilian interpreter held responsible for the attack, and his being ordered for court martial on the grounds hz! had formerly been in the army. Military police present when the at- tack occurred were subjected to dis- ciplinary Action. The second point was disciplinary } punishment of Major General Nina- miya, commander of the military po-! lice and his subordinate officers, held responsible for the rctions of tho military police. Punishment of a ma- jor general in such cases was rare, and the secretary accepted the other punishments as sufficient and asked remission of the punishment of the! general and his subordinates. The other two points, already ful. filled, included formal calls on mili- tary and consular officers to express regrets at the consulate at Mukden and Harbin, where Chamberlain ts ‘stationed. The Japanese further reported the army had accepted full responsibility for the attack. The incident will be considered jclosed, the secretary said, with pun- ishment of those who actually par- ticipated in the assault.

But by night he is @ prowling fiend, a hideous crea- ture bent on @ career of horror and torture. Those who admire this man know him as “Dr, Jekyll.” Those who hate and fear him know his as “Mr. Hyde.” Now if you want to meet this mys- terious man-face to face—and if you {want to know why he allows the evil, loathsome side of his nature to dom- inate his soul, you ‘must see Para- mount’s unique and weird production of the world famous Robert Louis ‘Stevenson story, “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,” coming -to the Paramount Theatre beginning Monday. Playing the dual roles of “Jekyil and Hyde” is that splendid young ac- tor, Frederic March. Now the kindly Jekyll,.young, handsome, ardent—and then Hyde, the scheming, lustful mon- ster, March gives a performance of lasting significance. The two leading femininé.roles are portrayed by Mir- iam Hopkins, as the heautiful street waif who falls under the evil influ- ence of Mr. Hyde; and Rose Hobart as the devoted fiancee of the ardent suitor, Dr. Jekyll. Both of these young actresses do splendidly in roles especially suited to their talents.

As for the story, Tim Whelan, fa- mous playwright, screen writer and humorist wrote it, and Ralph Spence, dean of the great old aggregation of silent movie title writers, wrote the adaptation and dialogue. It is hard to say just who is responsible for the fine sense of comedy, the nice bal- ‘ance between burlesque and realism maintained; perhaps it’s just ideal teamwork. MINOT EDITOR BETTER Minot, N.
