BUT ALWAYS- Trial scenes rival love scenes in popularity and interest on the screen. A trial scene holding unus- ual interest because.of the circum- stances leading up to it, provides the climax for the new J. Arthur Rank presentation, “Jassy” which comes to the Capitol Theatre to- night. “Jassy” is a Technicolor picture ot mystery, crime and romance, set in England in 1830. Margaret Lockwood and Patricia Roc are co-starred in it. The film is released by Universal | International. As Jassy, a girl of half gypsy origin, Margaret Lockwood possess- es the psychic gift of being able to vision events that are taking place far away from her. Because of this gift, she is suspected of being in-| volved in the murder of her hus- band played by Basil Sydney. She is placed on trial for her life. When the trial opens, the audience knows that she is innocent and that the girl being tried with her is alone guilty. This girl cannot explain that caus? she has been mute for some| 4 (hauled over this she is the only guilty person, be-|into the front yard of Wood's legal | Wood. cess to the site of my new home the year around, which was not avuilable by any other possible route. The Hegsteads furnished the land for the rcad, while I agreed to pay the cost. We felt, however, that the City could well afford to con- tribue something, since, (1) the road would be public; (2) the project in- cluded deeding by me to the city of approximately 2500 square feet of property for road purposes; and (3) my new home would produce substantial tax revenue for the City. We asked the City Council if they would surface the road and supply material for one culvert, as their share, which they agreed to do. However, trucks hauling dirt from the excavating preceding construc- tion tore the road up so badly in the spring of 1948 that additional surfa¢ing was required, which was tdone at my expense, so the City was not even called cn to pay ail of the surfacing costs. Incidentally, some of road was dumped the dirt adviser, Mr. McLean, at his request, years.
