J, May 28—An indictment, presumed to be against John Hughes Curtis, Norfolk hoaxer in the Lindbergh case, was handed today to Justice Thomas Trenchard, who ordered it delivered to Quarter Sessions Court for further proceedings. J. Chester Skillman, forcman of the grand jury which considered the Curtis case earlier this week, handed three indictments to Justice Trenchard, who announced that one of them dealt with Julia Winterstein on a charge of murder. The cther two, he said, would be sent to quarter sessions. ‘The grand jury only considered three cases at the sitting at which evidence was presented in the Curtis case, and so it seemed certain that one of the two indictments not made public today was against the confessed hoaxer. Silent on Two Others. “I have nothing to say about the other two indictments,” Justice Trench- ard announced from the Supreme Court bench after making the one public and saying what action he was taking on the others. The grand jury heard the evidence on the Curtis case Thursday and after 1t had heard several witnesses and seen Curtis’ confession reports were current that an indictment had been voted unanimously on the first ballot. This was not officially confirmed, nor was 1t denied. Prosecutor Anthony Hauck would not say definitely today that the indictment had been returned against Curtis, but he did say: “The Curtis case will be tried not later than the week of June 27." As an indictment is a necessary pre- limihary to trial this statement was taken as positive corroboration of the jgeneral belief that one of today’s in- dictments was against Curtis. ‘Will Plead June 4. Hauck added that Curtis would not be arraigned for pleading on Tuesday, as previously indicated, but would probably plead on Saturday, June 4. As his plea would be to an indictment this statement too was taken as virtual acknowledgement that Curtis has been indicted. The plosecutor said he received a telegram this morning from W. C. Pen- der, Norfolk attorney, who will defend Curtis, saying he could not be ready to try the case by June 13, the day the prosecutor had hoped to begin trial. Curtis began his fake negotiaticns soon after the Lindbergh baby was stolen from his crib on March 1. He was at first unable to interest Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, but succeeded in doing so after persuading the Very Rev. H. Dobson-Peacock and Rear Admiral Guy H. Burrage, retired, friends of the Lindbergh family, to intercede in his behalf. Curtis and his two former as- sociates live in Norfolk, Va. On the night of May 12, when the body of tne murdered baby was found, Col. Lindbergh was at sea following up one of Curtis’ imaginary clues, and Cur- tis even then continued to furnish police with what he later confessed was false information. Confessed May 17. He confessed on May 17, and was next day placed in jail to await the ac- tion of the grand jury, which subse- quently was asked by the prosecutor to indict him. ‘There were reports from well in- formed sources that Curtis, accused of obstructing justice, would avoid an open trial. These reports said he would plead non vult contendere and by de- clining to fight the charges, throw him- self on the mercy of the court. Prosecutor Hauck said such a plea would be welcome from an economic viewpomnt, since it would save the county money. He added that a trial would have advantages in discouraging other people from acting as Curtis has confessed he acted. The prosecutor said he had not been approached, however, with a proposal for a plea of non vult. ‘The hunt for the kiilers of the baby went on, but police reports gave no in- dication of what progress is being made. BRODERICK FREED IN BANK COLLAPSE Jury, Out 15 Hours, Clears New York Official of Neglect of Duty. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 28.—A crowd that sat up late to hear the verdict broke into cheers when Joseph A. Broderick, State banking superintendent, was 2c- quitted early today of willful neglect of duty in failing to cloce the Bank of United States sooner than he did. The jury had been out 15 hours. Flushed with excitement, Broderick ac- cepted congratulations silently, ap- parently unwilling to trust his voice. ‘The verdict was a climax to an eight weeks’ trial during which Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt, who appointed Broderick. testified n his defense. Max D. Steuer, noted attorney who acted as special prosecutor in the case, was not present when the jury reported. ‘Three other indictments are pending against Broderick, but it was not known whether they will be tried. These charged neglect of duty in not making examinations of the institution often enough, neglect of duty in failing to inform the bank directors of ad- verse report on its condition , con- spiracy. Broderick was first brought to trial last February, but a mistrial was de- clared when a juror was accused of making misleading statements.

Me.” which last seasbn caused more arguments than any e, UIGI PIRANDELLO’'S enig- | matic “As You Ds?re drama of current vintag and which featured the el Anderson, has cl as the last story for .Miss Garbo to do, be- fore, it is said, she weighs an- chor for sunny Sweden. The results, first re- vealed yester- m’. Loew’s initial unveiling. At the end you are still left in doubt as to whether Zara was the Coun- tessa, or wheth- er she was somebody else— Greta Garbe. with the some- body else slight margin in the lead. ¢ Chief to be observed in this, how- ever, is the sudden rather over- whelming beauty which Miss Garbo reveals after she has whipped off one of those impossible flower-pot- shaped hats. At the outset, less in- toxicated than was Miss Anderson in the same role, and yet still un- pleasantly morose, she is a curi- ously morbid and inhibited soul who should delight those who have no particular_regard for her. Blond as Miss Harlow, downtrodden by glass after glass of champagne, an unpleasant companion for even novelist Salter (Erich Von Stro- heim), she assumes one of the most annoying of recent characterizations as she determines, the origin of the night-club performer who is the cause of the rest of the trouble. ‘When, however, she finally emerges, back in the old Italian homestead which she is sald to have been parted from for 10 long years, she is a radiantly handsome creature, more fair to look upon than the most exhiliarated of all Atlantic City bath- ing beauties. And from then on, up until the final curtain you don't much care whether she is the wife she says she is, or the lady whom she is probably much more likely to be. As she says all she wants to be is “as you desire me”—and as prob- ably most people prefer her to be— she is in the last short cinematic chapters. Unfortunately this does not seem the best of Miss Garbo's pictures. The places where Pirandello has left off and where Gene Markey, for the honor of Hollywood, has stepped in are not overpropitious. When, for instance, Miss Garbo is told “don’t quibble,” the spirit of Mr. Piran- dello seems very, very remote indeed. And, frankly speaking, the direction is not by any means up to tfe cus- tomary George Fitzmaurice standard. So whether or not you can remain loyal to this great lady is more or iess of a question throughout. Never before .has she more certainly at- tained such warmth of expression, such momentary happiness as are revealed in her always chang- ing expressions. But the story is as curious as it has always been—a mystery from beginning to end. Miss Garbo is, of course, splen- did (except in that one unfortunate shot where the camera reveals her sidestepping as she comes into a salon)—but the remainder of the cast is not especially noteworthy. Even Erich Von Stroheim is inef- fective and Melvyn Douglas and Owen Moore are only passably good. E. de S. MELCHER. Prize Fight Story at Fox With Weissmuller on Stage. A CAST of good actors, led by James Dunn, Peggy Shannon and Spencer Tracy, is provided for the prize fight story, “Society Girl,” which is offered at the Fox Theater. Scenes in the ring are well filmed. while a simple plot centering around the failure of a fistic star to keep in training for the big test is made effective by the work of the leading members of the cast. The three have long since established a reputation for putting vigor into the average motion picture story and they main- tain their effectiveness in the present cne. In addition to the three who put the heart touch into the story, the several characters call for the efficient services of Walter Byron, Bert Henlon, Marjorie Gateson and Eula Guy Todd. Successive climaxes are provided by angry tilts which separate lovers and pugilistic part- ners, with apparently disastrous re- sults. The woman's recklessness in. interfering with the training tine for a fight starts the misunderstand- ings, but the power of genuine friend- ship ultimately is demonstrated. Johnny Weissmuller's aquatic ex- hibition is given in a big tank on the stage, and his skill in difficult swim- ming feats is clearly shown, while he has the assistance of several young womer in completing an act which has as one of its features a high dive into shlll&“va \:;:m by one of the woman ascistants.

D.C.C. “So Big,” At _the Metropolitan. “SO BIG,” the current offering at the Warner Metropolitan Theater, is better than most movies, but not all it should be. The picture falls far short of the heights attained by Edna Ferber’s Pulitzer prize-winning story, from which it was adapted. Much of the power of the book, of course, may be laid at the door of Miss Ferber's sheer writing ability. It is easy to understand, for instance, how hard it might b to capitalize on excep- thmllkd!scrlpflve writing in filming a book. The best thing that can be said of the picture is that it whets the ap- petite for the book for those who didn't get around to reading it when it was a best seller a few years ago. The bright spot of the movie is the acting of Barbara Stanwyck. She makes a good mother. Stage mothers generally rely on_synthetic gray hair, a would-be wistful peace- ful sort of ;xpl’e:skfil‘ Bndl otkhe'r n:- tifices which make them look some- what , simple-minded. Not Miss Stanwyck. She is a most accept- able mother without seeming to try, which always is half the battle for actress. ll.“l'he work of Dick Winslow as an unappreciated lover is worth men- tioning. In fact, he wins the sym- pathy of the audience from the minute he resorts to boyish tricks in an eflortl to outsmart his more ture rival. mgro one who hasn't an intimate knowledge of the windswept fa: ing land of the Middle West the pic- ture seems authentic. At any rate the fields are flat, which is as they should be if memory serves us well. Miss Stznwyck begins as a gam- bler’s daughter and becomes in turn school teacher, wife, mother and asparagus grower. All of which doesn't sound very romantic. but it will surprise you. D.B. W. “Radio Patrol” at Keith's Shows New Phase of Gang Drama. GQHIFTING backgrounds for thrills and for sensational stories on the screen restore the vividness of the criminal gang as a source of dramatic action. “Radio Patrol. offered at R-K-O Keith's, intro- duces a new element which puts the hunted but belligerent gunman at a disadvantage for the first time since he made his debut in theatrical en- tertainment. A subject which was supposed to have run its course and to have reached the cemetery is brought back from the grave and provided with a fascinating element. Police cars equipped with receiving sets cover the big city, and may be dispatched at a moment's notice to any point which requires police at- tention, while a general alarm brings the whole fieet of autos and motor- cycles in a mobilization that must strike terror to killers and robbers. Romances of individual policemen give the popular tone to “Radio Patrol,” which deals largely with the inner features of the police organi: tion, and combines satisfying infor- mation about the conquest of crime with a plot which has been fash- joned for the story of a group of police personalities at play and at work. The big feature of the story is the attempt to rob a bank in the stockyards, a project which is aided by one patrolman, who is successful in winning a bride, but lacks the stability to maintain loyalty to the department. The losing rival for the woman is a strong character on the force, and it is his energy and skill which defeat the gang robbers and save the bride from the disgrace of facing the facts about a grafting husband. Rapidly moving scenes and strik- ing examples of the use of the radio in meeting the task of an over- worked law-enforcement organization give some distinction to this uni- versal product, which has the merit of being the pioneer in a new field. Robert Armstrong, Lila Lee and Russel Hopton carry the weight of the story. while other characters are represented by June Clyde, Andy Devine Onslow Stevens, John L. Johnson, Harry Woods, Sidney Toler, Jack La Rue and Joe Girard. Mr. Toler's work as a superior officer is a feature of the piece, The Keith program also includes a film based upon Russia’s five-year plan, Wwhich is in effect a travelogue of modern Russia, covering all parts of the Soviet Republic, with special attention to the engineering projects, particularly power plants, and ex- tending to the large-scale farming show is In,” with __WHEKE_TO MOTOR AND DINE.

CUSTOMS COURT JUDGE DIES IN NEW YORK HOME George M. Young Victim of Heart Disease Six Weeks After Promotion. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 28.—George Mor- ley Young, presiding judge of the United States Customs Court, died late last night of endocarditis, at his home in Riverside Drive, New York. Judge Young, who was 61 years old, had been in health for six months and confined to his home for four weeks. He is survived by his widow and a daughter, Katherine Adams Young. The body will be sent on Sunday to Valley City, N. Dak., for burial. Judge Young was born in Lakelet, Ontario, December 11, 1870. He was graduated from the University of Min- nesota in 1894, and in 1899 married Miss Augusta Freeman of St. Charles, | Mich. He began the practice of law in Valley City soon alter graduation. He served in Congress from 1913 to Sep- tember 2, 1924, when he resigned upon appointment by President Coolidge as district jucge of the Customs Court. Six weeks ago he was appointed presid- ing judge by President Hoover, suc- ceeding Israel P. Fischer, who retired. BRONCHO BUSTER THROWN RAPID CITY, S.

ALTHOUGH patrons complain of moderate aches and pains and a few chills and fevers caused by the up-and-down plush seating in the Columbia Theater, the efficacy of that modern saga of hotel life, “Grand Hotel,” 15 not dampened to any great degree. Here one may see the most expensive cast on record acting Vicki Baum’s nove! and play to its hearts’ content—and to the hearts’ content of many others—and proving that from now on the unex- pected may very often be the reverse. For a long time since it has been the habit of the films nrot to throw their stars into the same cinema yarn, but to weed them separately and present them as “ones and only” in a vehicle in which they had much to do and nobody else really mat- tered. In “Grand Hotel,” however, every one matters, and this includes that major player, Lionel Barry- ‘mo! that serpentine, orchidaceous lady, Greta Garbo; that slim, sleck typist, Joan Crawford; John Barry- more. profile and all, and Wallace Beery as a kind of potential Kreuger. They and the skill of all those con- cerned do much toward making this one of the real cinema events of the E. de S. M.

By the Associated Press. HONOLULU, May 38—The House yesterday passed and sent to the Sen- ate a bill to remove the five-year resi- dential clause in the recently enacted law governing appointment of terri- torial chiefs of police. The residential requirement was in- cluded in a measure passed by the Legislature after the revenge slaying of Joseph Kahahawal. Strong objection to the clause was aroused in Washington as a result of a report by Assistant Attorney General Richardson, who made a study of con- ditions here after the Massie-Fortescue murder_investigation. The House tabled a resolution intro- duced by Representative Harry T. Mills, expressing legislative sympathy for the parents of Kahahawai and 1propos&ng payment to them of $5,000. .
