o ||!:|| = ! | — o (AT} DOLORES DEL RIO AT STRAND A gypsy romance of fire and pas- sion, barbaric in its surging emo- tions, colorful as a Romany costume, liiting as a Roumanian rhapsody, glamorous with romantic charm, dy- namic in its dramatic sweep—that is “Revenge" - presented last night at the Strand theater for 4 days. “Revenge” 1s one of the finest works of acreen art that Hollywood has yet produced. It is another tri- umph for Dolores Del Rio the star, for Edwin Carewe, the director, and for Finis Fox, the scenarist. The select vaudeville program is headed by Al Buts and his California Peaches in ' "Bits of Terpsichore; 8awyer and Eddy in “Push '"Em Up; Hall and Pillard in “It Gets a Guy 8ore;"” Mays, Burt and Finn, “The Three Jesters;” and Al Walton and Ethel Byron Co,, in “Tell Tales.” On Thursday George O'Brien and Lois Moran will be featured in “True Heaven” with a vaudevilie show that will feature “Aladdin From Broad- way." Beginning next Bunday John Gllbert and Greta Garbo will be presented in “A Woman of Affairs™” from Michael Arlen's *The Green Hat.” BRITTEN SAYS HOOVER WANTS NAYY MAINTAINED 8ays President-Elect Gave Him Im- pression He Was Against Coolidge Idea. Washington, Jan. 28 (UP)—Chair- man Britten of the house naval com- mittee, in a statement issued on the eve of the crucial battle to push the cruiser bill providing 15 cruisers within two years, to passage, said Herbert Hoover had given him the imrression he was desirous of re- taining the time limit clause in the program. President Coolidge has insisted on elimination of the clause. Britten's statement reads in part: “Wren I talked with Mr. Hoover the other day he certainly gave me the {mpression of desiring a navy second to none in power and efficiency; a | navy commensurate with our world | commercial and political position. “1 am sure the time limit will be pleasing to Mr. Hoover. “America’s desire for free use of the seas cannot be assured by paper agreements alone. Steel ships with big guns accompanied by airplanes, speak with greater force than time- worn words of friendly treaties to maintain freedom of the seas. he time limit now in the crulser bill is the most important scction of the bill. It is the one real assur- ance for 16 steel ships under con- struction in 1931 when the Wash- ington conference meets again. “The house is overwheimingly in favor of building real steel ships quickly and the two-year time limit will do it.

For Miss Brice, herctofore re- garded principally as a singer of comedy songs, reveals & dramatic talent that is as powerful as it was unsuspected, and discloses the star as a player of unusual emotional depth. In the main, however, “My Man,” gives to the famous Fannie an expansive opportunity to dis- play her delicious comedy, and she takes advantage of it to the fullest extent. On Thursday Charles Farrell and Greta Nissen will be offered in the movietone production “Fazil.” CHILDREN CARRIED 10 SAFETY FROM FIRE Main Building of Drucker School for Mental Defectives Dam- aged By Blaze.

BRIDEGROON OF WEEX SOUGHT BY POLICE ) (Continued from First Page) of .the dead woman's coat. News- papers published pictures of it and from these photographs Tobin be- came convinced that the doll was the ene he had given Mrs. Cullen. Shortly afterward, Tobin identified the body. Authorities were puzzied by “a sebming lack of motive for the crime. Mrs. Cullen had written to relatives in Lowell, telling how hap- py she and her husband were, and Cullen had appeared in good spirits ever since the wedding day. Information from Lowell was to the effect that an attractive married woman of this town had caused an estrangement between Cullen and his flancee & few months before their marriage. Mrs. Willlam Furmoule of South Billerica, at whose home Mrs. Cul- len was employed prior to her mar- riage, reported that the dead wo- man had told her early last fall that Cullen had broken their en- gagement. He gave {ll health as the reason for his action but the woman he later married refused to accept this explanation, fnsisting that he was friendly with a mar- ried woman in Hingham, according to Mrs. Furmoyle. A reconciliation was effected on Christmas Day, at which time Cul- len gave his swectheart a small dia- mond ring, Mrs. Furmoyle said, and plans for an early marriage were hastily completed. After the wedding in Lowell a week ago yesterday, the Cullens went to the East Weymouth apart- ment which they had engaged and furnished. Cullen hed been employed as a foreman by the metropolitan district commission. His superiors describ- ed him as a steady worker and as not addicted to lquor. Police learned, however, that on March 29, 1923, Cullen was com- mitted to the Medfield state hospital on a temporary care paper signed by a Wevmouth physiclan, and re- mained there until the following June 10. Cullen’s commitment came after he had leaped from a second story window of his East Weymouth home. He told police he had heard voices and had been chased by a girl. Next day he was given a one-month jail sentence for drunk- enness, but while serving this term he was transferred to the state hos- pital, where his aillment was diag- nosed ag alcoholic hallucinosis. He was practically normal when di charged from the hospital, however, it was said. Honor Dead Civil War Nurse in Lowell Lowell, Mass., Jan. 28 (P—More than 500 persons, including delega- tions from military, semi-military, and veteran organizations, yesterday |'paid final tribute to the memory of Mrs. Mary E.
