Vitaphone production, “The Milllon Dollar Col- lar,”” which comes to the Capitol theater Thursday and Friday only. Those who prefer the famous dog star in picturesquely rough environ- ment, will not be disappointed by “The Million Dollar Collar,” how- ever, for much of its thrilling action has its setting in the mountainous environs of the resort hotel, “The Million Dollar Collar” is a story of the underworld.- centered about a romance which develops as an offshoot of a series of sensational Fobberies.

Drug Angle Probed Chester also was working on the marcotic angle, inveatigating the $1,- 800 deposit which Miss Hix made with a building and loan company. here. He believed the money might have been profits from the alleged sale of drugs. In an interview last night Snook traced his movements on Thursday might. He said: “I reached home about 9:30. ‘Mrs. Snook was upstairs with the baby when I wen€ in. She was downstairs awhile and came into the dining room where I had some old clothes out.” Snook said he went to his office in the veterinary medicine building about 7:30 or 8 p. m. He typed a letter, finished one magazine article and nearly completed a second. The articles were prepared for Hunter, Trader & Trapper, to which Snook contributed occasionally. Leaving the office at 8:40 the doc- tor arrived at Scioto Country club before 9 p. m. he said. There he claims to have seen two or three persons, obtained his shooting glasses, and started back. Says He was Home at 9:30 He bought a newspaper reached home about 9:30 a. m. “Arriving home, T fixed the usual Bite to eat, read the paper, looked wup some old clothes and got ready to go to the farm,” 8nook said. By the farm, he meant his par- @nts' home in Lebanon. ‘I went to bed before 10:30 or 1 p. m.” he told reporters. Dr. Snook did not comment on recently-discovered evidence indi- gating that he was peddling drugs. “Miss Hix certainly did not use drugs,” he insisted. Questioned about liquor, he de- clared that he and Miss Hix had never used liquor together. Not “Damn Fool Affair” “This was not a damn fool love affair; she was a good companion,” he said. At the beginning of the interview he stated that they had intended to *go on as before,” during this sum- mer. Later he said they had mu- tually agreed to give up the apart- ment during the summer. While the doctor was seeing Miss Hix two or three times a week, in thelr apartment, according to his testi- mony, he knew of and approved the #dates” she was having with Meyers. Explaining Theora's trips to New York, Snook said ene was trying to straighten out a schedule of classes for summer school there. She ask- ed the doctor to visit her there, ac- cording to his story, to help with the curriculum. He suggested that Meyers go, which he did. Meyers previously had testified before po- Jice that Miss Hix asked 8nook to visit her because of a fancied dis- ease.” 3 Meyers Urged Marriage “Meyers kept after Miss Hix, wanting to marry her when they re- turned to Columbus,” the veterinary said. “She told me she did not want to get married until she was graduat- ed. However, we agreed not to see each other, and she contintied to go with Meyers.” One day Miss Hix came to him, 8nook said, telling him that she and Meyers had “broken off.” Snook then resumed his intentions to her. He was asked to explain why he had given up the apartment Friday morning, several hours before the body of the slain girl was identified. Hix and I decided Monday or Tuesday to give up the room,” he said. “I was leaving and she had two positions which would occupy her time until 9 p. m. each evening.” The arrangement, as he told it, was that Theora was to telephone him Thursday if her job would not besin that week. Receiving no call either Thursday or Friday he visited the landlady and returned both keys. Did Not Tove Girl “I have never suspected Miss Hix of playing around with anyone else but Meyers,” Snook said. “TI was not in love witn her and was willing to quit any time she wished. I considered her the ideal professignal ‘woman.” and Princess Ileana of Rumania, who visited Bweden last summer, has been presented two Swedish sailing b2ats Il"l "vx» wu'!""'fl':lm‘ ||" ) GENTLEMEN OF THE PRESS Gentlemen of the Press” is the fin- est thing the all-taking moving pic- tures have brought to this city. It is big, tremendously big. It is real life transferred tg the screen. ‘This all talking picture from the Paramount studio, will be offered at the Strand Thursday, Friday and Saturday. It is artistry of plot, of direction and of acting. It is drama dripping with emotion yet admirably restrained and true-to-life. News gathering has always been a synonym for romance. The real struggles behind the scenes, in the minds and hearts of those men who follow the “game” with such devo- tion, has always been the hidden chapter that “Gentlemen of the Press,” with that great actor, Walter Huston, in the leading role, un- covers. Huston's performance flawless; it is splendid. And a cast of real artists, artists who have earned their laurels on the legiti- mate stage before entering motion pictures, supports him admirably. The vaudeville show will offer five acts headed by the “Fantasy of Dance” in a whirl of color and rhythm; Morrell and Beckwith in “The Singing Find;” Barton and Young in “It's All In Fun;" Downey and Frisa in “What and Sce” and Earl Coombs Co. in a novelty oddity.

Henry Blair, 29, of 121 Cleveland avenue, Hartford, was at the whéel of a car on Hartford avenue about 11:30 last night in an intoxicated condition, ac- cording to Ofticer John Griffen, who testified in police court today that his attention was first called to the car by the condition of the ‘head- lights. Blair pleaded guilty to charges of driving while under the influence of liquor and without an operator’s license and was fined $100 and costs with a suspended jail sen- [tence of 15 days on the first charge, and $5 and costs on the second. After the officer and Lieutenant Matthias Rival testified to Blalr's condition, Blair took the stand and sald he was accompanied by a M- censed driver. He had an automo- bile but did not register it, having been in the south for some time, he {said. As to driving while intoxicated he had nothing to say. Arrested After Chase Lincoln C. Strom, 19, of 173 Ham- ilton street, Hartford, pleaded not guilty to the charge of reckless driving and a continuance until Sat- | urday was ordered because of the failure of John Kornas of 19 Pearl Court to appear in court. Strom is alleged to have driven from Lincoln street into West Main street shortly after 11 o'clock last night at the approximate rate of 20 miles an hour, crowding Kornas' car to one side of West Main street. Accused of Battery Theft Joseph Thervicz, 17, of 199 Oak street, pleaded not guilty to the charge of theft of an automobile | battery valued at $15 from Rocco Rossman of 53 Willow street. The case was continued in $100 bonds until tomorrow, Judge Saxe pre- ferring not to put the young man on trial until his parents were notified and given an opportunity of being in court. Officer W. 8. Strolls arrested Ther- viez yesterday afternoon after he failed to make a satisfactory expla- nation of his possession of the bat- tery which Rossman claimed was stolen about five weeks ago out of his car. Watch was kept for it at Rudy’s Battery Service at 186 East Main street, where it was bought by Rossman, and eventually it turned up there to be charged. Identified by a serial number it was traced to Thervicz and the police were noti- fied. The young man is said to have claimed to have met a stranger on the strecet and to have bought the battery for $5, but under question- ing about the details of the deal he is said to have contradicted himself and it was decided to hold him for court.

He illustrated his speech by lan- tern slides, showing pictures of bridges that have set a type for men to follow throughout the ages. Some pictures showed bridges built by the Romans before the time of Christ that are in staunch condition today. Other old bridges dating centuries before that time, built by the were shown. These were nothing more than two poles set in sides of a stream. They were connected with a vine or cable and passengers were swung across the stream. This is the first of all suspension bridges and the present type, as the Brooklyn bridge in New York, is but modern workmanship and material applied in the same way. The Fort Lee to Fort Washing- ton bridge now in construction is the span that has been at- tempted by man, being 1.450 feet between the supports. This, when Perfect Vitaphone House!
