In no picture yet made has there been quite such convincing demon- stration of the genius of Vitaphone as in “On Trial"—the laf all- talking special ‘offered by Warner Brothers, and now drawing record crowds to the Capitol theater, The dramagtic power of the story is brought eut with an effectivness which has never been approached by the pilent picture. Court room scencs of the great .murder trial, around which “On Trial” revolves, present a complete re-creation of the proceedings, which. formerly would have been impoasible . without the intrusion of a long. . succeasion of printed sub-titles—so. many, in fact, as to completely slow up the action of the story. But with the Vita- | phone every word plays its part in heighteRing the interest in the scenes, and in presenting the sensa- tional trial with all its amazing turns and twists. The distinguished cast of “On Trial” includes Pauline Frederick, Bert Lytell, Lois Wilson, Holmes Herbert, Jason Robards, Richard Tucker, Johnny Arthur, Vondell Darr, Edmund Breese, Edward Mar- tindel, Fred Kelsey an Franklin Pangborn. Vitaphone acts offer Eddie White in “I Thank You" and the Ceballos Revue which were very well liked. Beginning next Sunday the Capi- tol will offer Fanny Brice in “My Man” on the Vitaphone. NEW GRAN 1t is claimed for “Spced Girls of 1329,” the Mutual Burl:sque attrac- tion which opens a week’s engage- ment at Hartford's laugh center to- |day, that they represent the latest {in ‘merry-making burlesque as fash- |ioned by the wponsors of this light |and speedy entertainment. “8peed” i3 not only the name of this aggre- gation but “speed” will be main- tained, according to promise, in pro- gressive scencs of swift moving amusement for the burlesque “fan” and for those who find themselves somewhat jaded by theater fare in general. 1'red (Falls) Binder and Nellie Nice are the featured players |in a company that also includes in its roster such favoriles as Jim Pearl, Irish comedian of mote and |nccomplished funster in other lines, |Ord Weaver, Gur Post, Millie Ken- nedy, Joan Tanya and a host of un- programmed chorines who will grace |the musical ensembles with their |attractiveness. “Marriage a la |Carte,” a highly amusing scene in |which marriage as it will be ob- served in 1980 will be depletad and “The Slave Market,” a scene in which a whole stageful of beautiful |girls in attractive poses-are shown will be the highspots of “Speed Girls ot 1929.” Second False Alarm Sounded From Box 46 Tox 46 at Beaver and Lasalle streets, which was rung late Friday night although there was no fire in the vicinity, was rung at 12:10 Sat- urday night, apparently by the same person.

Under the present motor laws, according to Mr. Marsh, all trucks in Connecticut are limited to total loads of 26,000 pounds. 't for- merly was 25,000 but was raised to 26,000 hen the motor truck asso- ciation first started its fight for 28,- 000 pounds, vehicle | The law In this state makes no allowance whatever, the motor truckers claim, for additional load- ing capacity on trailers or sub- trallers. No more weight is per- mitted on aix wheels than on four, despite the fact, according to Mr. Marsh, that engineers have found that road streas does not extend more than 40 inches beyond any wheel. “The tendency is toward the use of trailers and six wheel trucks, and we are going te six wheelers gradually,” the secretary added. The legislative committee will be instructed after tonight's meeting to make an effort to have these laws modified. Under section 32 of the metor ve- hicle laws a man arrested for over- loading may be fined $500 and im- prisoned for a year ‘‘whether the violation was accidental or inten- tional” and he also may be com- pelied to put up a bond of $500. -If he is convicted again during the year of overioading his truck he for- feits the $500 bond as well as being liable for the additional $500 fipe and & .year's imprisonment. This the motor truckers declare in one of the worst laws on the statute books, and they expect to wage an aggressive warfare for ita elimination or modification.

A controversy on the sugar tariff has been hanging fire for several years and the committee expected one of the most determined fights on revision since it began hearings two weeks ago with a view to read- juating the existing tariff structu Producers and refiners of ca and beet sugar from the United States, Cuba, the Philippines, Ha- wail and Porto Rico were represent- ed in the witn-ss list. The fnforma- tion they will present will form the foundation for a decision which will interest every consumer and pro- ducer of mugar in the world. The existing duty on raw sugar is 2.20 cents a pound and on refined 2:39 cents, under the preferential trade treaty with Cuba. That country is allowed a 20 per cent reduction and pays a duty ef 1:76 on raw and 1.91 on refined. Increase Favored An increase in duties and a limi- tation on Philippine duty free, was understood to be the program of American producers of cane and beet cugar. On the other side ranged the Cuban, Philippine and other producers and American importers and consumers, Who either want a reduction or mainte- nance of existing rates. Domestic beet and cane growers had from three to more than a doz- en witnesses to battle for an in- crease, while the insular possessions and Cuba were ready to oppose this proposal through importers' repre- sentatives and their delegates to congress. Several representatives of the house also were on the Witness list, as well as candy and soft drink manufacturers and economists. A reduction in the existing sugar {duty was proposed by the farif commission in a 3 to 2 decision four years ago, but no action on this rec- |ommendation has ever been taken { by President Coolidge. Three yoars g0 the executive announced he would reconsider the report if world conditions warranted, has been in status quo since.
