They were examined as to ages and asked if their marriage were voluntary. Took Off Gloves Judge Dingeman today “took off the gloves” in handling the case with the commitment, of Gay Crowe. 17, a cult “virgin,” to Jail until she answered questions satisfactorily. “There is plenty of evidence of immorality outside the statute of limitatons, but nothing within the statute,” the judge said. “I do not propose to return an Indictment unless there is evidence to sustain Tt before a jury. This is not an ordinary investigation—it deals with religion and a class of witnesses unlike those whom ordinarily come before a court.” Cash In on Publicity Like the cult members now preparing for a big tourist season at the amusement garien of “Eden Springs" former members have begun “cashing in” on publicity obtained in the probe.

“Legally Dead” Was Made in Secret and Promises to Bea Dramatic Thriller
By JACK JUNGMEYER. Hollywood, May is.—■ "Legal ly Dead,” a picture produced in secret and steeped in tlv grewsome, presents the most unusual situation in movie plot. It kills the chief character in an early reel, and yet has him logically alive at the end. The resurrection, that of a man hanged and pronounced officially dead, is based on the currently ex ploited experiments with adrenalin, a glandular extract credited with liferestoring powers in many recent press reports. Aside from its timely novelty, the film's preparation by Charles Furthmann, author, and William Parke, director, for Universal, has an Interesting back-stage story—the story or how an alert scenarist "scooped” the journalistic world on the scientific marvel of the day. Furthmann, for years associated with the State attorney’s office in Chicago, was familiar with the first crude adrenalin ventures upon felons. A negro hanged in Chicago had been revived by an injection after the body had been delivered to a doctor, talked a few moments, and then expired again because of faulty manipulation. Basing his plot on this and other actual episodes, he says, Furthmann prepared "Legally Dead,” and the filming began, weeks before adrenalin phenomena with front-page features validated what many producers haa rejected as wildest fantasy. So sure was the author of his hunch, that production was closely shrouded to keep others from adapting the idea. Newspaper Reporter Is the Center of Interest The screened story revolves around a newspaper reporter in Criminal Court, who. devising his own imprisonment to launch a crusade against conviction by circumstantial evidence, is caught in the web of apparent guilt and sentenced to be hanged. This part is played by Milton Sills. Execution being inevitable, the doomed man recalls the wish of a surgeon friend to experiment upon humans with adrenalin. Pinning slim hope of thus cheating the gallows, he arranges with the surgeon to make the test. The trap springs, and although the neck is not broken, he is offcially declared extinct. The doctor, waiting in an ambulance, resurrects him with a combination of the fluid

These predicaments give the picture comedy relief for the ghastly motif Secrets of Operating Room Are Exposed in Movie Clinical details are correctly re p: oduced, a surgeon performing the adrenalin operation. Gradual restoration of the dead man is suggested by weird kaleidoscopic effects, as his mind clears from the nebula. Supporting Sills in the chief role are Edwin Sturgis, Claire Arlanls, leading woman, and Edward Fortier. The picture is a May release. ' Most of the incidents presented." says Furthmann, associate scenario editor at Universal, "are taken from actual Chicago criminal history, hut slightly disguised and hooked together for dramatic continuity. “Following the cose of the man temporarily revived by adrenalin after execution in Cook Counf.v, Illinois passed a law that no body may be turned over to outsiders within twenty-four hours of hanging. Other States now have similar laws."

Mysteries come and go, but none ever bettered that of the bloody shirt. According to George B.

dentist's success lies in the character of his assistant and the influence of his wife. “The average dentist is the biggest dub in the world,” he said. “The wife should use her influence to keep him from buying stocks and bonds for one thing. A dentist haa no business with them because he generally buys at the top price and sell at the bottom. A dentist xvould reuire ten times as much business and technique as he has to make money on lupnds unless he Is going to stay ln it as a business. “Influence him to buy insurance. If I should tell the dentists to do that in a talk before them picturing old age, it would go in one ear and out the other. So I tell you.” “The dental profession is not the biggest paying job in the world,” Dr. Clapp said. He pointed out that 30 per cent earn less than $2,500 per year and 50 per cent between $2,500 and $4,500, and urged the wives to assist as much as possible and see that the dentists have the best of assistants, who he said are a big factor in a dentist's business success.
