'KID GANGSTERS' SLAY BOY, 15, FOR ‘REVENGE’ Put ‘Finger’ on Lad Who Was Charged With Being Bully. !• " I tutr'l DETROIT, Dec. 7.—A "trial" conducted by a gang of school boys ho put "the finger on" an outsider because they believed he bullied one their friends was disclosed today m the slaying of Joseph Prvzstas, 15. The Pryzstas boy was shot through the heart Sunday as he was emerging from the basement of his home with a scuttle of coal. Stanley Orlenski, 14-.vear-old leader of the "Floyd gang" whose club 'noms were in a hayloft, admitted firing the fatal shot, police announced. Two other youths, Joseph Sawiski, 14, and Anthony Mazur, 13, were held as accomplices. Longin Jandzyentzi, 11, who complained of being bullied, put. “the finger” on Pryzstas, then turned police informer, leading officers to the three youths who went to a movie after the shooting. Accident, Boy Insists Stanley in a confession Sunday night told details of the “trial" and the. subsequent shooting, which he declared was “accidental.” "This morning I went over to the dub,” he said. "That’s the Floyd Club, that we named after my uncle who lets us use his barn to hold meetings in. "When I got there Joey Sawiski told me another kid had been pickin’ on a friend of ours. This friend is Longin and the kid who was pickin’ on him is the guy I shot. "Me and Joey and Tony talked it over and seid we’d go over to' this big kid’s house and beat him up. So we left the club and started over. On the way we stopped at Tony’s 'Mazur) and got the gun. "When we got over to the house on Medbury, we went around to the bark. Just around the corner, Longin met us. We asked him where the kid was, and he said: ‘There he is now.’ Helped Support Family "So I pulled out the gun and pointed it at him. I wanted to scare him I didn’t mean to shoot him, but the gun went off. I didn’t think I hit him because, when he i Pryzstas) went downstairs, I thought he was laughing. Wc all run because we was scared. We went back to the club, took the gun apart and hid it. Then we went to the movies where the cops come and got us.” Joseph’s 13-year-old sister, aroused by the shot and the noise of her mortally wounded brother falling with the coal scuttle, rushed to his side. He was taken to a hospital immediately, but was dead when examined by physicians. The victim was in the ninth grade. He helped support his family by selling newspapers in the evening. The three accused youths were turned over to the juvenile court late Sunday night.

BRANDS FOX HUNTERS ‘POOR SPORTS: CRUEL’ Society Girl Embroils Kitzy Club in Row, Sheriff Is Iler Ally. /.'// Uni lad Press LAKE FOREST, 111., Dec. 7. Whether it is sporting of the Onwentsia Club to hunt foxes, was Hie question that threatened to split this exclusive suburb today. Jane Morton, niece of the “salt king,’ maintained the foxes are “just as tame as little kittens” and the hunt as sporting “as shooting barnyard ducks.” She was supporter by Sheriff Lester Tiffany, who said he would arrest the hunters for cruelty to animals if Miss Morton would swear out a warrant. Developments were suspended temporarily when Sunday’s hunt was called off because the ground was too icy for the horses. But A. J. Niblack, master 01 the hunt, said the event would be held next Sunday. GIVEN SENTENCE FOR MISTAKEN VENGEANCE Phillip Belk Gets One to Ten Years for Ax Assault.

HERE IS NEW WAY TO MAKE LOVE TO WIFE Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne Are Just as Gay on the Talking Screen as They Are on the Stage. RV WALTER D. HICKMAN A N ac or felt that he was losing ihe love of his wife, a famous actress, bees tse she played Chopin, looked out of the window and sighed at officers in uniform. To recapture tnat love, the actor masquerades as a Russian guardsman of the old days and makes love to his own wife. This little plot is developed into the smartest of farce by Ferenc Molner, playwright, and it is played to the smartest degree by Alfred , Lunt as the soldier who masquerades as the guardsman and by Lynn j Fontanne as the acress and wife. Probably the greatest share of the i acting has to be done by Lunt, because he not only has to change his ; entire makeup, but his voice as well.

And both the actors, as well as the playwright, have to accomplish the same point—did the wife recognize the guardsman as her husband? The wife claims she knew that the, dashing and love-lorn guardsman was her hubby in disguise. Yet, I am in doubt as to the

ending and the answer to this question. What do you think? I am glad, that the two ace players of the New York Theater Guild have gone movie, at least for one picture, and that their first talker was the movie adaptation of "The Guardsman,” in which they had great succecss on the stage for the Guild

I

Lynn Fontanne

some seasons ago. This smart play requires the smartest and at the same time some of the broadest acting imaginable. And Miss Fontanne and Lunt, splendidly assisted by Roland Young as a music critic; Zasu Pitts as a maid; Maude Eburne as the companion and self-styled "mama” of the actress, and Herman Bing as a creditor of this temperamental acting family. The cast is about perfect. Maybe it. is as near perfection as any cast that we have ever had on the talking screen. The Lunts, meaning both Miss Fontanne and Alfred as they are married in real life, are just as charming and effective upon the talking screen as on the stage. Many of you who wanted to see this great couple on the stage in "Elizabeth, the Queen,” will have a chance to satisfy that desire to a certain degree, because the opening shhts of "The Guardsman” are from the closing scenes of "Elizabeth.” Then it only requires for Miss Fontanne to take off her false nose as Elizabeth and she becomes the wife of the actor in the play. And even the family row starts on the stage as they are taking their curtain calls. Smart fun 0 Yes, about the smartest the screen has ever reflected. “The Guardsman” is the ’ast word in very smart and ultra fun. It is a roudy little jamboree done in a Tiffany setting with the touch of silk. Don’t miss this one. Now at the Palace. tt u a CONCERNING EVA TANGUAY AND CHARLIE DAVIS There has been a name for many years on the American stage which has been in the big lights about all the time. Am speaking of one of the most eccentric personalities on the stage as well as an interesting person—meaning Eva Tanguay. Twenty-five years ago she was telling the world that she didn’t care in her own way and she i# do-

ing that very same thing today on the Indiana stage by giving an impression of herself doing that don’t care song. The years have not slowed down the pep and dash of this woman. And now over 50 years, way over it, she is carrying on and winning over her audiences with as much ease as twe n t y-f iv e years ago. We will

Kay Francis

never accuse Eva of having a voice. She doesn’t need it. She tells you herself that her voice is a freak but she doesn't care one little rip. She is a stage institution, representing a certain brand of stage entertainment. This season she is the big name in a Fanchon and Marco unit called,” Gay Old Timers. . “Hank Brown, not s% far away from 85 years of age. is the master of cercmonwies who introduces Corinne; Freddie Ford, who sings “Sleep Baby Sleep;" George Harrison. William Lee, who is over 72. Bert Jordan and many other old timers who today do the things that made them famous years ago. The old timers yield to Charlie Davis and his gang, who frolic and play f or twenty minutes on the raised platform in the pit. This time Charlie is a "Sir Knight" presiding over a round table and his "Knights” are very modern as they give up their beer steins for musical instruments. When Davis and his men dish out hot, swaying music—well the atmosphere gets hot and the show stops dead still. The German burlesgue quartet is gooa comedy stunt. The movie is Kay Francis and Lilyan Tashman in “Girls Ajjout Town.” Now at the Indiana n tt u GO IN THE DAY TIME TO SEE “FRANKENSTEIN” If you suffer with nerves or a strong imagination which haunts e urn* SORENESS 11E.3 1 YIELDS... unter-irritant."

you after it gets started, then, by all means, see "Frankenstein" in the day time.

I saw it at a private screening around midnight one night, and on leaving the theater I made up my mind then and there that I would sleep ' with the lights all on in my bedroom and the dog chained under my bed. When It comes to being a shocker and a thriller, "Dracula” is child’s play and elemen-

Colin Clive-

tarv to “Frankenstein." It is my opinion that “Frankenstein has been better directed, photographed and acted than any other play of this nature. It will make cold chills run up and down your spine, but you will love it. It is grand chilly theater. It all comes under the head of amusement, even if it makes you laugh or puts ice in your veins. The producer had only one ob-ject—-that to shock you about to death. And he has accomplished that. All are acquainted with Frankenstein (a young German scientist played by Colin Clive), who creates a living human monster in the form of a human being 'played in a most terrible wonderful style and makeup by Boris Karloff). The makeup of Karloff is one of the most hideous makeups ever reflected on the screen. And when this man-made monster gets busy—he murders and throws into a panic the entire hamlet. Not going to tell you any more. The cast is all right and includes Mae Clarke, John Boles, Edward Van Sloan, Lionel Belomre and others. And you will yell right out in meeting, that I will wager you, when you see "Frankenstein" at the Apollo. *f t tt A STAGE OLD TIMER IS NOW TALKING MOVIE. "Secret Service" on the stage was a good and popular vehicle for William Gillette years ago. It is now a talker on the screen with Richard Dix as the leading player, that of the Union soldier

becoming a spy and entering the Confederate line. There he met love interest w h ic h seriously interferred with his duties. It is the ending of the movie version which makes our hero not too much of a hero. Probably that is due to the silly craze to have happy endings to 99 per cent of our movies

Richard Dix

regardless of the consistent ending. Maybe the old play doesn't fit so well on the talking seneen. There is some suspense, and Dix does no damage to the chief role. To me the picture just didn’t ; click to that degree I expected. : Maybe the story is similar to so ! many others that we have seen on the screen even when pictures ! were silent. To me “Secret Service” j is just another picture. Too bad, because so many wanted this one to 1 bring back memories of William Gillette in the part. I will tell you the hit on this bill. It is ' the Mickey Mouse comedy. That is a comedy knockout.

THEY TELL ME

BY BEN STERN VERY few Democratic politicians evidently are aware that the term of Thomas Garvin as judge of municipal court one, civil division, expires on Jan. 1. If they were, there would be a veritable deluge of applications for the post. However, Garvin intends to be a , candidate to succeed himself and | this may prove a deterrent. He and Dan White, judge of Room 2, share equally in popularity j and esteem among their legal j brethren. Under the statute-creat-ing the courts, and giving the ap- ; pointing powers to the Governor, one bench in each division is held by a Democrat and the other by a Republican. Despite this political division between the two judges, they are close friends. ®* * * Fa.t and friendly, Tom came to the : front a year ago, when Governor j Leslie became irate over the manner ! in which control of the municipal | criminal courts went into hands of j the professional bondsmen and : asked Garvin and White to take charge of those courts and clean up ! the situation. Both judges received high praise for the manner in which they cleared the dockets and bounced the bondsmen. This probably will be remembered by Leslie when time for the appointment approaches. So far there has been but one announced candidate for the post, Ed- j ward C. Eikman. Some mention!

Chambers for the normination for judge of the probate court, receiving 11,764 votes against 12,160 for the latter. His popularity among Republican attorneys is as great as among those of his own party. In fact it is reported that many mepibers of the opposite party have gone to the front for him. Among these is State Senator Joe Rand Beckett, who is said to stand in high favor with the Governor. Another who spoke in commendation of his record is Michael Foley, Democratic member of the state prison board. The Democratic organization is not expected to take any steps in the affair as, after all, the selection is entirely up to the Governor. From all indications, Leslie may reappoint Tom.

ANESTHETIC TO DISPLACE ETHER Divinyl Oxide Discovered at Coast School. ! £’./ / Science Service SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 7.—A new general anesthetic for use in surgical operations, more rapid and effij cient than ether, chroloform or ; the anesthetic gases, has been dis- | covered in accordance with a prediction of Dr. C. D. Leake, professor of pharmacology at the University of California medical school. Dean Langley Porter announced here today. i The new anesthetic is called di- ' vinyl oxide. It is chemically re- | lated to ether and ethylene and : probably will be given in the same 1 way as ether. However, it is su--1 perior in several ways to these ani esthetics. Recovery is more rapid when divinyl oxide is used for an operation than wb6en ether is used. There is less excitement and less nausea with the new anesthetic. There also j is less irritation of the lungs and j less disturbance of the body’s chem- ! ical equilibrium. The heart action ! is not changed greatly. Divinyl oxide is a liquid whici : boils at a low temperature. It is ; inflammable and as explosive as i ether. Oxnam Lauds Team i By Timek Special GREENCASTLE. Ind.. Dec. 7.

GERMANY AIRS DEBTS WORRY AT CONCLAVE Brings Plea for Reduced Reperations to Parley at Basle. BY SAMUEL DASHIELL I'nitfd Press Staff Corresnondent BASLE. Dec. 7.—Germany brought her plea for reduced reparations payments before her main creditors here today. The special advisory committee created under the Young plan to determine the German capacity to continue payments after the end of the Hoover moratorium, and to consider the possibility of scaling down war debts and reparations, heard her plea. The conference, considered tantamount to a third reparations conference. was believed likely to call for a supplementary world conference early next year. Gates McGarrah Presides The committee of seven, representing Germany and her main creditor powers, will deal only with reparations.
