The title of world’s most famous radio orchestra is not just a mere advertising term but is a well merited reputation which they earned with their weekly broadcasting through station WEAF. They are masters of the art of music in all of its many and varied stages. Their repertoire ranges from symphopic to jazz music. They offer, soloists of the highest caliber. With all this to offer there is no wonder that they have made such an impressive name for themselves. “DRY MARTINI” AT CAPITOL Only a Frenchman with the subtle humor of his race and an intimate knowledge of his Paris could have made such a delightful comedy drama as “Dry Martini," «*which had its first local presenta- tion on the screen of the Capitol theater last night. This Fox films production with Mary Astor, Matt Moore, Albert Gran, Sally Eilers and Jocelyn Lee in the featured roles was directed by Harry D'Ar-- | rast, & young Parisian, with a skill and sympathy that won plaudits from the capacity audience who witnessed the showing. The co-feature presents an action *drama in “Beyond the Sierras” with Tim McCoy. Beginning Sunday the Capitol will offer “Annapolis” a story of America's famous naval | academy with John Mack Brown iu | the leading role. WIFE, 74, AND HUSBAND, 8, WILL YOTE FOR GOY.

When asked as to her pru[-‘ erence in the present political cam- paign, Mrs. Sternberg answered, “Well, of course, we have always been republicans, but although I am not sure about Mr. Sternberg, I am pretty certain that he will vote, if " he ia able to, for Mr. Smith.” “What is your preference, Mrs. Sternberg?”’ she was asked. “Oh, I haven't any doubt whatever that Al Smith is the right man and the | only man who should be president. I'm not going to tell you why I think so becaty there are so many reasons it would take too long to explain. I don't eare it this is put in the paper because that's thedway T feel.” * Mr, Sternberg is 85 years old and Ris wife is 74.

That, in brief, is what Marion Da. vies atcomplishes in “S8how People which is at the Strand theater today and Saturday. Such o picture has never before come out of Hollywood. It is the movies gently and sometimes roariously laughing at themselves. Davies is magnificently funny. The story is the romance of a girl who comes to the film city, enters pictures by the comedy route, be- comes a dramatic star, nearly loses everything because her success goes to her head, and is saved at lat by the machinations of William Haines and by her own sense of humor. The vaudeville program has five great acts that were well received with the audiences yesterday. Bord- ner and Boyer have a comedy sen- sational casting novelty that opens the show real well; Dolan and Gale offer a “Bouquet of Songs” in pleas- ing voices; Joseph Stanley and Co. present a skit called “Chili-Con- Carne,” which embraces real fine entertainment; Zelaya proves a big hit with his wonderful plano play- ing with wit in which he scores heavily, and the Katherine Rose Levue presents a fine dance and song offering with a cast of seven | real clever artists. Beginning Sunday for four days' the Strand will offer John Gilbert | in his new hit “The Masks of the Devil” in which Theodore Roberts makes his return to the screen. It is a fascinating story and Gilbert's greatest in quite some while. CHAMBER TO ELECT DIRECTORS' BOARD! {Name of Aljred E. Smith on; List of Candidates Alfred E.

Everywhere professiorial poli- ticians are bewildered by the num- bers which have been aroused. Out of Their Hands The fight has now passed out of the hands of candidates and party | of argument. Ward leaders and jre- cinct eaptains are organizing their election day workers and arrfnging machinery to get their voters to the polly. But the interest of the voters is | o tremendous that such prepara- | tions seem superfluous except where | they are concerned with protecting ‘p.my rights at the polls and super- | Vising the count. In 1924 a total of 20,000,000 votes were cast. This year it will be 35,000,000 to 40,000,- \uw In some of the dignified nosi- dential suburbs around Boston, reg- istration this year has more than doubled. Massachusetts registration has gone up an average of 32 per | tcent because of the interest in the “ Hoover-Smith battle. Almost every other astate shows a considerable increase. Election offi- clals are worried lest the rush of | voters overtax facilities. Usually the problem is to get out the voters. This year the problem iy to take care of them. Women everywhere are being urged to vote while the employes will be dismissed at noon. Soms believe thig interest will re- | sult in more alert watching at the polls with a consequent reduction tn irregularities. In some gouthern | states republicans will have watchers {at the polls for the first time in years. Democrats will man the polls in some northwestern states thoroughly than they usually do. Irregularities on both sides may be held down for this reason. How- lines and in some Philadelphia wet republican wards, for instance, there may be a disposition on the i part of republicans to give Smith | every advantage and likewise in some dry districts of the South Hoover will get better treatment than any republican presidential candidate received before. Count Vote “We have been assured that every | Smith vote will be counted.” one I’hiladelphia democrat told the United Press correspondent recently in an elated manner which indicated that this urance of a fair count constituted an unusual victory. Tn he same way a Hoover dry leader { ¥ there, which was more. he sald, than | had always been' the case. All which may imply conditions shock- 1ing to the averuge citizen hut which are taken as a matter of course #mong professional politicians. | The watchful eye the federal gov- | ernment has recently cast unon Ohio, | New Jersey and Texas will have a althy effect upon the conduct of IR oting places. Sordid as some election thv ac- tivities are, they are probably con- fined to & small fraction of the thousands of men and women who | participate in the conduct of the ma- | chinery. On the whole this election may be expected to represent the most direct | and most complete exnression of the | American people fn the history of the nation—marred only hy the fact that bigotry and prejudice have nlays such an important part in the contest, City ltems A daughter was born last night at tford hospital to Mr. and M d R.

Make a thorough search of a| room off the furnace room to uny| earth, if possible, some clues that would indicate she was attacked. Delve into the past life of Mins Knaak more thoroughly to see if she was deeply interested in any strange cults. After lying in a stupor from pain and drugs for three days, talking coherently and at other ! times in delirium, Miss Knaak yes- terday sent A. V. Smith, state's at- torney, on a clue that at first prom- ind some light on the case. “Frank” Not Ideatified | “Frank threw me over,” Miss Knaak mumbled through a slit in | the banday “Who is Frank?" Smith asked. Miss Knaak did not answer, Frank P. Mandy, a violinist who shares a studio here with Charles W. Hitcheock, was questioned after it was learned he probably was the only Prank Miss Knaak would have Lnown. Mandy was unable to throw any light on the mystery. He sald e did not know Miss Knaak and, so far as he knew, had | never seen her. Smith tried another tack. He told | Miss Knaak that he would have to arrest Hitchcock, the handsome | Lake BRluff policeman who' taught | Miss Knaak salesmanship and elocu- | tion. “Oh, my God, that would be rank injustice,” Migy Knaak said. Asked for an explanation of her remark, Miss Knaak said: “You wont’ understand. No need for me to explain.” Hitchcock, father of four children, | has denled there was any love affair, | although he admitted he and Miss | Knaak had met many times in the police station at night. He said she | called te report to him ahout her | work as a saleslady of books. | “If she had a crush on me, T| didn't know it,” he sald. | Has “Lucky Break” Hitcheock is confined to his bed | with a broken leg. which he termed | “a lucky break.” My leg explaina where T was the | night she was burned,” Hitcheock | said. | Smith announced an X-ray picture would be taken of Hitchcock's leg. “just to see if he could walk.” Barney Rosenhagen, Lake Bluff ‘Lief of police, prepared today to make a search of the room off the furnace where coal. kindling and | cdds and ends are kept. He sald he hoped to unearth some clue that would tend to show that | Miss Knaak had been attacked. A | weapon, or some of her clothing that is missing were the objects of hix | search, he said. 1t is known that Miss Knaak wore | a heavy coat Monday night when | <he came to Lake Bluff. No tracc| of it has been found although ashes | of her other clothing were stewn | in front of the furnace. She said | she stripped off her clothes prepara- | | tory to going tirough the fire to test her love but the coat or traces of it have not been found.

Test of Speech Text of & speech she made to saleswomen of the book concern for which she worked has been feund. It showed ahe believed that persons of higher intelligence could domin- ate thowe of lower intellect. “What use is your character.” she said in the speech, “it it doesn't give you confidence to dominate those of lesser intellect?" “Good overcomes evil. Every girl has a right to dominate, to fight and win against selfishness and ignor- ance.” she continued. She made the speech the night before she was feund in the furnace room. Authorities scouted the theory | that Miss Knaak had been burned somewhere clse and taken to the po- lice station. No evidence has been found upholding the contention. The theory that Miss Knaak had a pact to go through “fire purifying rites” with another persons, was ad- vanced by her brother, Alvin, “She talked a brief time with me,” he satd. “She sald there was a pact that ‘one of ws did net go | through with and I went alone.” “I asked her who the other person was, but she turned on her side as if to go to sleep. “She awoke in a few minutes and ‘No, ng, Alvin, forget what I 1 was the only ene there and said, Real Estate Men Moet At Jones Model Home Members of the New Britain Real Estate board gathered at the Jones Modecl home on Stanley street today for their monthly meeting, President Adolf Carlson of the board presid- ing.
