It was explained thia was done to avoid undue crowding of spectators into i the courtroom in the mistaken belief Capone would be there. Capone finished his sentence last March IS. according to his Chicago counsel. Abraham Tcltelbaun. This was figured on the basis of a straight 11-year term, starting when Capoue was sentenced, with 10 days per mouth ofl for good behavior. Assistant V. 8. Attorney Maurice

Norcop argued against the writ, claiming that the sentence began when Capone reached Atlanta prison. and that it was by the gangster's own choice that he delayed serving sentence by staying in the Chicago jail until all legal appeals were exhausted. The sentence was 10 years in prison and one year in jail, and Norcop said the government considered it this way; lo days per month off for the 10 years In prison. and do days < red it for good behavior during the year in jail If Capone continues to behave well.

MEW YORK—In music there * an expression which applies to compositum* that look well to the

eye, but don't sound so good to the ear. It's a German word. "Augenmusik," or *ye music. The pattern of note* on paper is a pretty one. Generally speaking, by the time it's played it sounds pretty awful. That

applies to plays, too, as the gentle reader undoubtedly knows. Some plays read well in silence. Some really effective play* read very badly, whether read ailently or aloud, e. g., “Awake and Sing." This leads us to our atory for the week, it's a confection called "The Flashing Stream.” veddy, veddy British, now holding forth at the Biltmore Theatre on 47th St. Written by Charles Morgan. distinguished London drama critic, "The Flashing Stream," which might as well have been called “Cupid and Quadratics,” eould conceivably be amusing and interesting to read. To see and to hear, it is windy and diffuse, talks itself to death, and the music of the language sounds strange spoken aloud. Don't get the idea that “The Flashing Stream” isn't well acted. That appears to be the curse of all English play* on New York stages. They re just good enough, to have the curtain raised on them, and the acting is always of I a higher calibre than the play it- • self. Godfrev I'earic and Margaret Rawlings in the leads are certainly deserving of better treatment and better roles. The play is set on an island in ( the Atlantic, where a group of English naval officers are eon-' eocting a new aerial horror called the scorpion—a flying torpedo,! controlled by radio, which will I automatically knock off any I bomber against which it lit launrhed.

I from th* development al the last I moment. What liappvn* can't bo toid, but it’s slightly cockeyed and more than a UtU* improbable. Mias Bawling* play* a mathematician, Karen Selby. Her brother, also a mathemaliciaa, having died, *h* is taken to lha lonely island by ths First Lord of tha Admiralty to take har brother’s place. The inventor of tho scorpion is Commander Edward Ferrers (Godfrey Tear!*), who doesn’t want a woman for the work. By some mathematical miracle these two know they ar* 'P '*>'«. ov*n before they meet. And thia love affair is about th* strangest it has ever been th* fortune of tho Broadwayit* to witnes*. People have fallen in love because they were both hungry, because one waa weak and th* oth*r strong, because they just simply fell in love. But Karen *! n d Commander Ferrers fall in lov* because they're both Marry-s-yed about differential calculus and vector analysis. Mathematic* is the music of th* sphere* to Kyen. the Holy Grail and th* bru.h of angels* winn to Ferrers. That wouldn't be *0 ter* nbly objectionable, really, because any poet it entitled to hi* freedom, but they do talk tho gu ? > T* e J *® death.
