An exceptionally fine cast headed by Marceline Day and Ralph Forbes and including Norman Trevor, Rob- ert Ellis, Mary Marbery, Gordon El- lott and Coy Watson gives a dyna- mic performance. The story starts with the heroine in college. In the spirit of youth she resents being compelled to return ‘o the dormitory at 10 o'clock on the levening of a big social function. To ert her freedom she climbs out of second story window when the girls are supposed to be asleep and joins a boy friend below. He takes her to & hotel where he claims a y party awaits them. Instead, the youth engages a suite of rooms nd registers as man and wite. The ris is horrified and makes her es- cape. :. a result of this escapade she 18 xpelled from college. The effect of t follows her through life. She gots position as stenographer through n agency and learns that her em- ployer is the son of the man instru- ental in getting her expelled from ollege. The father intervenes in fme to break the engagement bhe- een his son and the girl. Later the girl is charged with urder, The boy’s father is prose- uting attorney. He takes advantage pf his knowledge of the girl's es. apade to sway the jury against her; put his own son comes to the girl's lefense and a battle of wigs, full of irama, pathos and tense action fol- ows. Director Christy Cabanne has hown a master hand in directing his sequence. It is quite the best bt its kind ever shown on the screen t the Strand theater and well worth itnessing. The vaudeville show will be fea- ured by five good attractions offer- ng Bee and Ray Goman's Revue presenting “Dance Scandal: Dash- ngton’s Animals in a unique nov- Ity; Dave Roth, the versatile comic; arry Lyons and Co. in “Matri- ony Blues”; and Joe May and Potty in “Wise Cracks From a Broad."” On Sunday for a run of four days he Strand will offer Vilma Banky in he Awakening,” & romantic tale hat is captivating.

Based on the imelodnmn first produced almost a | century ago, “The Whip” is brought up to da®e in settings and dress and its multitudinous thrills are magni- fied by modern technical skill and photographic ingenuity. It all revolves around a horse race, of course, as the title indicates, with a great deal resting on the proper I horse winning the big derby and a great many people interested one way or another in having it either win or lose. There are plots and jcounter-plots, divers bits of con- ,Diving and last-minute suspenscs, perfectly handled through the direc- tion of Charles Brabin. Dorothy Mackaill brings her beauty and charm to the leading feminine role and Ralph Forbes proves an excellent foil in the mas- culine lead. Ann Q. Nilsson is particularly striking as the beautiful and schem- ing “vamp” and Lowell Sherman contributes another of his delight- fully villainous “heavy” character- izations, Outstanding in the cast are Marc McDermott, Albert Gran, Arthur Clayton and others. As a speclal added attraction the first all talking comedy “The Lion's Roar” will be presented along with a new chapter of “The Collegians.” Beginning Sunday for four days, George Bancroft will be offered in an all talkie “The Wolf of Wall Street.” COLD STILL HOLDS INNORTH EUROPE Sonthern Countries Face Flood Peril as Weather Moderates London, Feb. 28 (#)—Breaking of the severe weather in southeastern Europe today emphasized the dan- ger of what are considered inevi- table floods there. . Authorities of countries watered by the Danube and its tributaries began to put into effect measures to combat the overflow and mini. mize losses, Troops have been call- ed out for work in various danger- ous places in the affected area. Budapest reports said the frost had ceased suddenly there and the Danube had begun to swell from the melting snow. The ice which had long bound the river hegan to break up. North Still Frigid Intense cold was still from northern Europe. Sweden and Norway particularly suffered and shipping was at a standstill in the western Baltic and at its outlets, Several ships are still fast in the ice and the crews in some cases lacking sufficent food. Dynamite was used to break the ice masses on the 8wedish side of the Baltic. Airplanes have done a great relief work. B Brussels reported a new cold wave with temperature of 15 degreex Fehrenheit. A coal shortage has become exceedingly grave and mili- tary aid was Invoked to speed dis- tribution. Blowing up of ice bridges caused regional floods and threar ened navigation and bridges gn the lower Meuse. A frost tipped gale swept over Britain today with a force of from 40 to 60 miles an hour.

DENIED Hageartys Cannot Use Property Tor Business Purposes Unsuccessful in their efforts to purchase the High street pro- perty of Mrs. Minnie Hagearty, rep- resentatives of Landers, Frary & Clark appeared before the board of adjustment last night to oppose a change of zone which would permit business uses on the plot now re- stricted to residence pyrposes. Oth- er property owners in the neighbor- hood also objected to the change. Attorney William E. Hagearty, son of the petitioner, connected the op- position with the company’s inabil- [lly to buy at the price offered. He | explained that the plot is bordered on two sides by Landers factory and that it would bring little income as a residence site, but that it could be leased for business purposes with reasonable revenue. Joseph F, Lamb, vice president of the manufacturing concern, appear- yed in its interests, and Henry T. Burr, secretary of Landers, Frary & Clark, represented the New Britain Institute as opposed. The zone change requested would affect 250 feet of property, 100 feet of which is owned by the petitioner. Attorney Donald Gaffney, appearing for Landers, Frary & Clark, argued that it would be inconsistent on the part of the board to change th2 !tract on request of the owner of less than half the area involved. Mr. Burr said the library has a building program in contemplation land it would not be beneficial to have a business building nearly op- posite the new structure. William +1". Brooks, an architect who owns land nearby, was an objector to the change, Commissioner 8. M. Davidson ask- ed Attorney Gaffney why the manu- but the lawyer declined to make known the specific objection. When Attorney Hagearty was unable to an- nounce the kind of business which would be placed on the lot, Judge B. F. Gaffney, acting chairman, made it known that he did not look favorably upon grants of zone changes when the particular use is not known, . Action on the petition was defer- red to the next meeting of the board. Must Remove Garage Foundation Joseph LaRocca was ordered by the board to tear out a garage foun- dation he built at Roxbury road and Carlton street, without a permit from the building department. The walls are within three feet of his neigh- bor's lot line, where the ordinances specify 10 feet. LaRocca came to the board in the hope that he would be allowed to continue, the ordi- nances notwithstanding. I Inspector A. N. Rutherford ex- plained that the petitioner asked for a permit but did not have the nec- essary plans and maps. While he was waiting for these to be prepared, he proceeded with the job nd came In conflict with the ordinances. In the opinion of Commussioner David- son, LaRocca purposely ignored the city ordinances. Other members of the board agreed with him and vot- ed his petition down, Business uses at the corners of Corbin avenue, Pershing, Mitch-ll and Clinton street, were granted by the board on petition of Vincenzo Rossitto, owner of one of the cor- ners. Ignatius Wieczorek was refused permission to place a gasoline filling station at Farmington avenue and Blake road.

He received $12:50 a week, enough for his needs. But Mrs. Fitzpatrick had started a search for her missing husband and finally located him, had him (n-‘ dicted for abandoning her. He told his story yesterday before Judge Martin in Kings county court. His lawyer said the four sons living at home earned wages totalling $125 a week and were well able to take care of their mother. Mrs. Fitzpatrick answered that she only received $35 a week from | them, which was not sufficient for | her needs. “I will adjourn the case for six months,” Judge Martin said. “Go back to your watchman's job, Fitz- patrick. I guess many a husband envies you the quiet of it. But pay your wife $2.50 a week. The other $10 will keep you, and I believe you can have your repose without worry over your family.” “Thank you, Judge, thank you,” Fitzpatrick said. He caught a train last night for Hartford. ‘DANCING BARBER’ AWAITS HIS FATE {Taylors Life Now in Hands of; Bay State Governor Boston, Feb. 28 (UP)—The fate of George E. H. Taylor, known as the “Dancing Barber,” who faced the electric chair for slaying a| Lawrence girl, probably will be de- | cided tomorrow by Governor Frank G. Allen. Unless the executive fintervenes, Taylor will be put to death at Charlestown state prison after mid- night next Tucsday for the murder of Miss Stella Pomkila at Salisbury | Beach on June 5, 1927. ! Following a conference with Tay- lor in the latter's death cell at the prison yesterday, his counsel, Attor- ! ney Francis [E.

C., Collisions 3 P. C. During 1928 Hartford, Feb, 28 (M—Fatal acci- dents are increasing about five times |as fast as all other types of motor vehicle accident, state motor vehi- cle department records show. Auto- mobile collisions of all kinds in- creased less than 3 per cent in the calendar year 1928, while fatulities advanced more than 17 per cent. Both pedestrians and car occu- pants suffered heavy casualties. Al- though more pedestrians were killed the rate of increase for the year was about the same for the two groups. There were 254 pedestrians killed, or 60 more than in 1927, and 212 car occupants, an increase of 51, repre- senting an approximate 30 per cent increase for each type. There was slightly lower increase in the number of child pedestrians killed last year than for several years past. As an offset, however, there was a 34 per cent increase in the number of adult pedestrians killed, a rate greater than at any ‘time for five years. The children killed included 30 girls and 74 boys. Property Damage $13,000 Besides the loss of life the result of these fatal accidents was injury to 11 pedestrians and 183 occupants and property damage of more than $43,000, There were 92 accidents which resulted in damage of more than $100, and the others caused property 10ss of from $10 to $100. Of the 419 accidents, 252 occur- red when road surfaces were con- sidered “good,” 174 were on straight aways or clear courses, 283 were in clear weather and 192 during the daylight hours. Collisions at inter- sections resulted in 119 fatalities. Forty-four accidents were on hills, 29 at curves and 16 at railroad grade crossings. It has been determined by the de- partment that the drivers of 184 cars involved were on pleasure trips when the fatalities occurred. About 150 cars were being used for busi- ness purposes. Descriptions of all cars involved reveal that 338 were private passenger vehicles, 84 were commercial types, five were jitneys, six taxicabs and three were being used by dealers. There were 21 motorcycles involved. Approximately one-third, or 191, were owned in the towns where the accidents occurred; 215 were out of town cars, and 59 were from other states. 97 Due to Slippery Roads There were 97 of these ‘accidents when road surfaces were described as wet, ey, oily, rough, muddy or sandy. Sixty-seven occurred in stormy weather and 210 happened at night. Men were involved frequently, as drivers, than women. Of the 463 operators, 450 were men. There were 212 car owners involved. three part owners, 67 employes and two lessees. Responsibility for fatali- ties according to the ages of drivers was about equally divided among the much more prisonment. The father volunteered to appear before the executive in| person if such action were desired. | The petition from Essex county | residents, presented yesterday to the governor, read | “We, the undersigned, respectfully petition that the sentence of death | imposed upon George Elmer Har-| rison Taylor be commuted to lit: imprisonment or pardon for the rea- | son that we do not believe he Is | guilty of the crime of which he has been convicted.” | —— There i8 no word for Kiss in the Japanese language.
