It's about gangsters and their girls, police_and .their never.ceasing war- fare against organized crookdom in the big city underworld, pleasure- mad night club habitues, wise-crack- ing, sharp.shoqting racketéers along the great White Way. The picture amacks of realness, sincerity. The crooks act and talk like real crooks the cops behave like the cops you méet in every-day life. The hand- somest actor in "AlbI" is & crook— and he doesn’t reform and marry the girl just before “The End.” He commits the unpardonable faux pas —in pélice’ circlea—of using officers for targets, and what they don't do to him is nobody's business!

LAST REWEDY IN DEBTS DEADLOCK ; Young Sounds Germans Out on New Proposal Paris, May 27 (» — Owen D. Young, Sir Josiah Stamp and Emile Moreau were trying a last remedy on the reparations committee today in the hope of finally saving it from the fate which has been pending the last four weéks. The American expert was actively negotiating with the creditor dele- gates on a new combination, the na- ture of which thus far has been streets about 3:10 yester-"[withheld, but is supposed to be quite & ‘new scheme' that will get around the conditions imposed by the Ger- yMans -and the reservations put for- ward by ‘the allies. The Germans have failed to reply to the creditors’ memorandum con- cerning the copditions and reser- vations to the annuities ' recently suggested by Nr. Young. At the German headquarters. it was said ne writtén reply would be made, since IDr. Hjalmar Schatht, chiet of the German delegation, explained the German position amply to Mr. Young. No Chlnn = Situation This explanation, as communicat- ed to the creditors by Chairman Young, made no change in the situ- ation and this morning, which was regarded ‘as ushering in the fatal week of the conference, it was de- cided to try a final desperate meas- ure. ‘This effort has baen received with sympathy in expert citcles' here, but without any real sign of confidence.

There was some optimism but it seemed to be the optimism of senti- ment rather than of fact.

Young and his companion American delegates, J. P. Morgan, to find a way out of the impasse. In its 15 weeks of life the conference survived 80 many vicissitudes and still lived that today there was widespread disinclination to believe it finally had reached the denouement. Gulf Still Wide As far as was known today after tor nation experts with Dr. Schacht yesterday, thé gult hetween the two viewpoints yawned as wide as ever, with :Dr. Schacht adamant on . at least three points. ‘These seemed to be, first, that Germany could pay no larger amount than the 2,050,000,000 marks (about the compromise offer of Mr. Young; second, that Germany could not grant the Belgian demand for addi- tional annuities of 25.000,000 marks to cover depreciated currency: third. that the new plan, if an agreement were reached, should become offec- tive almost at once instead of being indefinitely postponed as the credi- tor nations have insisted it should.
