S. Attorney George Folta said in his address to the jury that “evidence reveals Allard was shot from behind, not whil ancing in attack, but while fac- ing the other way, and that Arm- strong slew Allard in pure re- venge.” The Henry Phillips case, that native was indicted f degree murder the death his son, Willie Phillips, in a drin ing party brawl December 15, 19: was dismissed from the calendar for lack of evidence.

FOR WOLVES THURSDAY, JAN. 12, 1939 BOUNTY LIFT The zirl with a great long | fan stretches across the spires and palaces of America’s two premier playgrounds of 1939—the New York and San Francisco world's fairs. The shadow belongs to blonde Sally Rand, who stole the show at Chicago’s Century of Progress and increased the use of the word “nude.” An unspoken question in prep- arations for 1939's two giant festi- has been: Shall Sally or any- one like her steal this show? From the east Grover W Manhattan’s maestro, has spoken out “There may be Sally Rands or dozens of Sally Rands. But we will not permit any dancer, nude or otherwise, to dominate the fair. If ‘she does, out she goes." From San Francisco’s Harris Con- nick “We'd like to have Sally with us,” he said. “She’s a great little b\hmvss woman. We'd like to have her with us in any capacit; ly Provides a Hint Sally herself, who just now is packing a San Franeisco night club and taking half the gross receipts, threw out a hint in her Christmas cards. These showed her au nat- urel, turning her back on New York and striding across the map to San Francisco. ‘Wherever little she plays, shell prob- ably be an attraction—papers in her 26th for penthouse provide figures to prove that. She employs secret watchers and auditors—knows as well as any one else whether or not she’s clicking. “When I was in the Streets of Paris at Chicago, 23 per cent of the people u\(ex ing the exposition came to see me,” she said. “In the second year I was at {he Ttalian village and it got 17 per Sally as a show girl cent of all the business.” Army Men New WPA Chiefs Capt.

Directed by H. Bruce Humberstone. Cast: Sidney Toler, Phyllis Brooks, Sen Yung, Eddie Collins, John King, Claire Dodd, George Zucco, Richard Lane, Marc Lawrence. HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Jan. 12—Rarely does a “B” (low-budget) picture surpass in interest a film week’s moie pretentious offer- ings. This one does—because it introduces a new Chan to the legion of the Chinese detective’s admirers. Sidney Toler, replacing the late Warner Oland, is an unquali- fied success. His Chan, fortunately, is no imitation of his pre- decessor’s, but an independent characterization adorned by his own subtleties. For his debut he has been provided with a well- integrated, suspenseful mystery aboard a freighter docked at the Hawaiian port. Chan, wife and brood are awaiting arrival of the first Chan grandchild when the detective is summoned to clear up the murder. There's $300,000 in cash involved, plus a pretty secretary (Brooks), plus a handsome ship’s officer (King), plus an eevie psychiatrist (Zucco) and a shady widow (Dodd), Coilins, the diminutive rubberface, muggs hilariously as keeper of a wild animal consignment, and Sen Yung (Chan’s No. 2 son with sleuthing aspirations) clicks hugely. Mystery and comedy are well balanced, and the film should assure a new long life to the Chan series. “Pacific Liner.” Screen play by John Twist. Directed by Lew Landers. Cast: Victor McLaglen, Chester Morris, Wendy Barrie, Alan Hale, Barry Fitzgerald, Allan Lane, Paul Guilfoyle, Played to the throb of a luxury liner’s engines, and largely in the somber atmosphere of the fire room, this feature is al: inter- e when and where === Percy's private party room is just the place for your entertaining— and, it is available for private affairs every evening . . . ---at Percy’s r—3 esting, dreary and grim account of a cholera epidemic below decks during a passage from Shanghai to San Francisco. - McLaglen is the burly, blustery chief engineer intent on keep- ing his record of crossings in scheduled time. Morris is the ship’s doctor, gifted in tropic diseases but plagued by wanderlust. Wendy is the nurse, resuming on this voyage a previously interrupted romance with the doctor. <« When a stowaway dies of cholera, Morris quarantines the stokers. One by one the plague claims the men, whose fear mounts to panic to threatened mutiny. McLaglen, scornful, goads his remaining men to the point of exhaustion, finally picks up a shovel himself to keep the fires going even after he, too, has yielded to the disease. Morris and Wendy, through the scourge, are drawn closer. The players perform splendidly, and the character bits are strikingly presented. But “Pacific Liner” remains drama for those who like their movie meat raw. “The Girl Downstairs.” Screen play by Harold Gold- man, Felix Jackson, Karl Noti. Directed by Norman Taurog. Cast: Franchot Tone, Franciska Gaal, Walter Connolly, Reginald Gardiner, Rita Johnsen. * This is the most literal of Cinderella yarns—scullery maid and millionaire finding that true love is all that matters. , The amazing thing is that, thanks to direction ard perform- ance the picture is entertaining, amusing and worth seeing. . Miss. Gaal (handicapped by a homely coiffure and wardrobe) is charm- ing, and incidentally rather like Mary Pickford in her hoydenish heyday.
