SITSLUR AR ST AL RS A AR ASIL SRR LRSS Y AT THE PALAC The double feature picture attrac- tion at the Palace toniglt is Billy Sullivan, one of the n's best known juveniles, in “The Goat Get- ter,” and the other attraction is the romance of a New York Cinderella, Shirley Masen in “Sweet Rosi O'Grady,” a delightful picturization of the immortal song eung and whistled by millions. The companion feature will be the roariug comedy, dashed with swift-moving romance &nd fast and furious action, de-| seribing George O'Hara's first fea-| ture-length comédy for F. B. O. “Going the Limit,” with a plot that| consists of a novel theme wrapped in | a scries of original and side- split- | ting situations. —_— EAT WILDER! stirring scenes of Great Wilderness” hold your entir interest throughout it's entir screening. It is a story of a man avho all but wrecks the lives of a boy and a girl besides his own and fhis wife's. By his brutality Richard | Stoner, played by Itussell Simpson with admirable characterization, drives his son (Joseph Bennett) from home and brings bitter retri- bution upon himself. To know how well it is achicved one must see the picture. The love theme is there, but not overdone. One glimpses life as it s lived in the wilderness and with the last fade-out comes the realiza- tion that here indeed is a truly great motion picture. Lilllan Rich and Joscph Bennett | have leading roles and are splendid | in exacting geenes, Edward Coxen and Mary Clr the famous “screen | mother,” aso give delightful por- | trayals. | p “Vera Reynolds” has a charming | yole in “The Little Adventuress” & new star comedy, which is a delight- ful picture in every respect. The Lyecum 45 minute Vaudeville ®evue added to the above program as a special feature for Saturday matinee and evening, makes this triple feature bill worthy of classi fication, only with the best offer- ings. “GOD'S The | from the home when it was broken WHEN AT LEISURE Mourn Over the Laughs That Have Died Paris, June 24. (P—When a clown {s through with work he gets mel- ancholy thinking of the laughs that have died. That. says the eldest Fratellini, s why so many clowns spend their off-hours in gloom and solitude. That is why Grock, the famous Ewiss clown, cries into his beer. And that, according to a mewly formed protective society of hoop- jumpers, sausage wielders and pop- gun shooters, s why TFrench clowns need a nice quiet home to which they may retire when their days of active clowning are over. The three TFratellints, France's most famous clowns, are leading the movement for a home for tired and aged clowns. Clowning, they say, is not highly pajd work. The mons of slapstick need a haven to which they can retive and rest their Weary bones when they are ill, or shake off for good and all the sawdust of the ring. What clowns crave, they think, is a nice com- fortable place where they can sit and cry over their happy memories when they feel like it. or swap sad tales about the big laughs they Janded when they were in their; prime. A journalist in Paris has m an unofficlal request of the mini try of public instruction and fine arts that a part of the barracks of the fortifications of Paris, now be- ing abandoned, be set aside for re- tiring clowns. The funny men ap preciate it as well meant but th are luke warm about the idea. Most of them are as much soldiers at heart as they are bankers. An @bandoned barracks does not ap- peal to them as a cheery place in which to be sad. One of them said: “I'd soon forget T was an artist and bezin to limp like an old sol- dier. Me, I'd rather rctire on the pavements of Montmartre.” e S CONVICT STATE TROOPER Flemington, N June 24 (P— Corporal Matthew A.

Florlan *“Aids” Posses “TFlorian who is a resident of Southington, was arrested early yes- terday morning at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Julian Florfan of Prospect street. During the search of the woods for the bandits, he joined with the police and posse of citizens in the chase. He pa- trolled in a car about the side roads seemingly intent on the capture of the men responsible for the holdup. His family is socially prominent in Southington and the members of it reside in a handsome residence in the southeast part of the town. They live liere in the summer and reside Last win- ter during their absence from home, $1,500 worth of articles were stolen into. Search For Buried Treasure. Southington, Conn., June 24 (M— Search of the woods on the Grannis Farm where Albert W. Meyer, one of the trio arrested for participation in the holdup of Cashier Olsen and Mrs. Olsen in the Plantsville Na- tional bank of this town, was caught carly yesterday went ahead today for the rest of the money stolen. Meyer has claimed he buried the money in the woods and town con- stables and state police and officers from Bristol were again in the woods to find it, if possible. The Southington authorities had no further information about the trio under arrest and held in Hart- ford jail under bonds of $50,000 each for a hearing in town court a week hence. There was no indi- cation that there would be inter- vening action by the state authori- tles which would take the men into superfor court on a bench warrant and it was understood that the cus- tomary course would be followed of having the accused men held for trial at the fall term of the Hart- ford county superior court, The opinion first. held that there { was a fourth man in the plan to rob {the bank has heen followed by be- the threc under ar- rest were in it. None of the trio has given the slightest indication that he was trying to keep someone else ‘out of the case and state of- ticers have concluded that Florian laid out the plan and the others tried to carry it out and make a getaway. The amount of money taken from the bank was fixed by a surety company which indemnified the bank with a check for $4.436.62. The amount of cash recovered fis about half that figure. lief ‘that only MEMORIAL RESOLUTION. Bridgeport, Conn., Jun» 84 (A— A memorial and resolution on the death recently of John E.

Y., June 24 (® —Commander Richard E. Byrd said today that it was improbable that the America would take off on its trans-Atlantic flight either today or tomorrow. He qualified his statement by adding: “But one never can tell about the weather, and we will hop- off as soon as the weather observers say the word.” A squall.lying across the Amer- ica’s planned course is one of the causes for delaying the flight, Byrd said after a conference with the Wweather observers. Also. he said, there is & storm arca from Nova Scotia across the Grand Banks to about 500 miles out on the Atlantic. The squall, the weathermen said, appeared to be moving eastward. “I'm not waiting for ideal weath- er,” Byrd said, * ideal weather for our flight. were on my own, T would probably hop off. But I > three men Wwith me, and T also have the good of aviation in mind. “It's improbable that we will hop off either today or tomorrow, but If 1 er.

A wester- ly wind is the best for the takeoff. : Balzac Paid His Bills With Ads in Novels Paris, June 24, (A—Balzac, liter- ary genius and creator of the “Hu- man Come erer of the uses of publicity Henri Clouzot and Rene Valensi, two enthusiastic students of Bal- zaciana, have brought to light the fact that tailors, hatters, bootmak- ers, dressmakers, milliners, pastry- cooks and caterers frequently mene tienud in Ba!zac's stories were real persons.

To escape stair-climbing, the Chief Justice installed at his resi- dence an electric elevator, and in addition to his accomplishments as a jurlst and administrative offi- cer, he has mastercd its intricacies. Mrs. Taft recently requested the operator to let her off at the sec- ond floor. The stop was made, the door was opened, and as she step- ped out, the Chief Justice with one of his most gracious bows, assured her that “we strive to please.” Then closing the door, he pushed the button and ascended to his office.
