DARROW TAKES FIGHTING ROLE IN HONOR CASE Again Militant Warrior Who Conducted Many Great Legal Battles. (Continued From Page 1) shouted, “I should say the Ala Moana case certainly has something to do with this case.” He was fight**g now. He pounded a desk and turned to Circuit Judge Charles S. Davis, austere young Harvard man. “I hardly think counsel should ignore the natter,” said Darrow Judge Davi§ ruled out Kelly’s question, but warned a formal ruling later may strike at the foundation of Darrow’s case. “I hardly see how Kahahawai’s guilt or innocence in the Massie attack case can be legally injected into this case," he said. What changes this may bring to defense tactics was hidden by Darraw as deeply as the carvings in Judge Davis’ ancient Hawaiian court bench. But he was aware the battle had begun in earnest, and started on another track. Henry Beckley, former police investigator and more recently a rancher, was Darrow’s next target as he drew an admission that while the talesman had no "opinion” he did have an “impression” of the Oase and the guilty parties. A quarrel over this took a quarter of an hour. Darrow threw a pencil to the floor to emphasize his contention that the defense should not be called upon to remove an im- ( pression from the mind of any j juror. Sensing the trend of questioning, Beckley tried to explain what he meant by an impression.

Occasional Laughs Provided Both appealed to Judge Davis, who. obviously puzzled, Anally overruled Darrow’s challenge. Six prospective jurors Anally were passed until court convened this morning. They were Beckley, part Hawaiian; Duke Wong, impassive, round-faced Chinese; Bankston, an electrician born in Los Angeles; W. R. Chellgard, white, salesman; Charles Akana, Hawaiian-Japanese, and Hisata Imada, Japanese carpenter. Questioning of talesmen approached the monotonous, except for occasional laughs. Manuel Teixeira, Portuguese, who had failed to be discharged from the venire, quickly was excused as a juror w'hen he said he was a night watchman and “was dizzy all day.” Joe Kalewahea was excused, but not for his admission that he “didn’t know’ nothing about this case.” Throughout, Mrs. Portescue sat loosing intently ahead, or occasionally conversing in undertones with Mrs. Darrow, who sat nearby. Winsome blond Thalia Massie, whose outrage by a gang of halfcastes last September led to this greatest of all Hawaiian criminal cases, was not in court. Outside the courtroom a great throng of spectators kept cordons of police struggling to maintain order. Admission was only by 'ticket. TrafAc w'as barred from an area of several blocks surrounding the courthouse. A special armed guard escorted the defendants to the courthouse from Pearl harbor navy base, where they have been held in custody awaiting trial. They were returned to their temporary “jail’’ overnight It was evident the panel of twen-ty-four w'ould be insufficient and counsel agreed to draw fifteen more talesmen. Even these probably will be exhausted and a third panel summoned before a jury finally is obtained. Trial to Be Prolonged Darrows painstaking method of jury choosing, and the cautious attitude of the prosecutors likely will extend the first phase of the epochal hearing for a week. After that there may be two weeks of testimony and argument, possibly four weeks. The trial’s start lacked only a few days of being three months from the date of Kahahawai’s kidnaping from the steps of this same judiciary building. He had been making a bail report pending his second trial on charges of attacking Mrs. Massie. The “melting pot” Jury at the first trial disagreed. As he descended the steps a middle-aged woman pointed him out to a young man, who approached Kahahawai with a fake arrest warrant. The husky young native readily entered a machine in which a third man sat and was driven off. Advised of the incident by Kahahawai’s brother-in-law, police started a search and soon saw the automobile speeding toward famed Koko Head geyser, fifteen miles from the city. They gave chase and after several shots had been fired the car was stopped. At the wheel was Mrs. Massie. Beside her sat Lord. In the back seat was Lieutenant Massie. Police opened the door, and saw a sheetwrapped form on the floor. It was Kahahawai.

M’LAGLEN IS ON THE STAGE AND SCREEN Berkell Players Go In for a Smart Comedy, ‘lt’s a Wise Child/’ at Keith’s Theater All This Week. BV WALTER D. IfICKMAIt. IT iaftgoing to be difficult for Victor McLaglen to live up to his screen reputation on the stage because of the difficulty of getting the right vehicle. McLdfelen has had such sureproof material on the screen as “What Price Glory” and “Cock-Eyed World.” For his vaudeville venture this season he is using a slight sketch with a Chinese setting and he has the conversational services of Charles Judels. McLaglen is best suited to hardboiled roles and those of us who expect him always to be hardboiled (and we are wrong of course!, will find

that quality not so much in evidence on the stage. It seems tc be that McLaglen’s vehicle is just in the formative period. 1 am afraid that he will have to be more hardboiled on the stage to live up to his movie reputation. He is competing with himself this week as he is on the screen in

“Devil’s Lottery,” with Elissa Landi. The act they are really going to talk about this week is the hokum offering of Seed and Austin. These two have been at this sort of work long enough to qualify as experts and to prove my statement they stopped the show’ with nonsense when I was present. Jimmy Burchill has surrounded

himself with a number of blond ladies and he has created a dancing act. The feature Is the work of the girl with the fan who does some splendid acrobatic work. Raymond Baird is able to play two instruments at one time, one being a saxophone. He has a pleasing act. Nelson has done wonders training his cats and white fats. Now at the Lyric. unit SMART COMEDY NOW AT KEITH’S The love triangle, which has been of such invaluable aid to playwrights for all these years, went into discard when Larry E. Johnson wrote “It’s a Wise Child,” current production of the Berkell Players. Johnson went one better and used the quadrangle. Joyce Stanton, played by Margery Williams, is going to marry Banker G. A. Appleby (William Maloney) when the play opens. The

final curtain goes down with her in the arms of Jim Stev en s (Philip Brandon), after having spent spent part of the first and second acts with that love light in her eyes on account of Roger Baldwin (Bob Fay). On top of that, the possibility of there being a fifth member of the group Joyce’s alleged

scon-to-be baby—gives the play many a comic twist. William Maloney, as the big-frog-in-a-iittle-puddle banker, and Philip Brandon, as the Stanton family lawyer, carry off the acting honors. Margery Williams is quite good, though unconvincing at times. Beatrice Lieblee plays as good a haggling wife as any one could ask for. Now at Keith's.

tresses successfully portray his characters. Emily Tharp as Eloise Letheridge, ; the fault-finding wife of an artist, and Margie Bailey as Mrs. Random, the mother who successfully ties ner apron strings about her son, play roles which prove the old adage, (“Women, like dinner gongs, should be struck regularly.” Some of the male parts seem miscast. J. Jerome Littell, w’ho plays Dr. Bruce Mortonby, the doctor who admits he is a failure at love making, would be more convincing as Alan Letheridge, the artist who loses a wife and finds a love. And I think Melvin Berryman, who takes the artist role, would make a better physician than does Littell. Four distinct plots are apparent in the play. Dr. Mortonby and Laura’Corbin love one another, but she is married to a man whom she feels duty-bound not to desert. Lillian Hamilton, in the part of Mrs. Corbin, depicts very clearly the woman who places a supposed duty above a certain love. The kind of mother love which really should be called selfishness is shown in Mrs. Random's part. Hartley Random, the son, played excellently by William Titus, makes one little sortie alone into the world but gets stung and returns. The Farrars, the hotel's “love birds,” played by George Lehman Jr. and Josephine Fitch, are sappy and priceless. The Letheridges and Marcia Lawrence make up the only triangle affair in the show. Phyllis Nordstrom does well with the difficult role of Marcia. It’s a good play. It has pathos and humor, love and hate. The direction is good—as it should be, since the author is handling that end. He has been invited by Hale Mac Keen, directer, to be guest director during this production. (By Observer.)

Choir Presents Good Concert

BY WALTER D. HICKMAN If the members of the Mendelssohn choir ever had any doubt as to their drawing power, that doubt Was removed last night at Caleb Mills hall when the choir appeared in concert with Hans Kindler, as guest artist. The audience was the largest that I have seen at any of the Civic music concerts this season. The efforts of Elmer Andrew Steffen in directing this mixed choir showed that splendid improvement is being made in the tonal quality. Never has Steffen had a better male section than he had last night. That was proven when the choir was singing “The Death of the Choir Boy.” This number was better done last night than anything I have heard this choir do in the last several years. I was tremendously interested in the four Stephen C. Foster numbers —“Carry Me ’Long,” sung by the men alone; “Massa's in de Cold, Cold Ground,” splendidly done by both the male and female voice; “I Dream of Jeanie” and “De Camptown Races,” a jolly swinging affair. Kindler is a splendid artist, capable of producing the lightest tones as well as the heaviest from his cello. Mme. Marguerite Beilhe-Steinhart was the accompanist for Kindler and Paul R. Matthews for the choir.

POLICE PATROL CAPONE SUBURB DURINGJOTING Al’s Thugs Charged With Election Violence in Cicero. , By United Prcit CHICAGO, April s.—Two hundred and fifty Cnicago policemen today patroled Cicero in a municipal election, while sensations centering about A1 Capone, who made the suburb famous, piled up rapidly in Chicago’s bitter primary to be held a week from toda^\ Specially deputized Chicago police guarded Cicero for the first time since they killed, Frank Capone, brother of Al, in a running gun bat- ! tie eight years ago. Primary developments in Chicago focused attention on the gangster leader, guarded in jail night and day by federal deputies, as he awaits outcome of his appeal from Income tax fraud conviction. Grand Jury Probe Ordered. Widespread charges were made that Capone henchmen have re-1 sorted to violence, fraud and intimidation in an effort to elect can- j didates favorable to their leader, j and to any possible plea he might; make for clemency. A special grand jury investigation of gangland election terrorism was ordered by Judge Michael Feinberg, Republican state’s attorney candi- | date, as well as study of judicial im- | propriety charges lodged against ! him by his opponent, John A. Swanson. state’s attorney. Judge Feinberg named whitehaired Frank J. Loesch, 80-year-old head of the Chicago crime commission and Wickersham commission member, as special state’s/ attorney to prosecute the inquiry. Loesch w’as uncertain whether he would accept the post. Charge Plot to Steal Primary. The Feinberg order w’as issued on ! the request of Mrs. Florence McFatrick Kirk. Gold Coast society leader, who cited lawlessness including the murder of Nicholas Testa, precinct worker. “There are 10,000 speakeasies and :saloons,” said the petition, “which, ; obtain liquor from agents or under- ; lings of Capone. In return Capone ! and his agents endeavor to protect | the owners and operators.” i It is this organization which i threatens to “steal” the primary, the petition charges. Similar allegations were made by Fred W. Sargent, president of the Chicago & Northwestern railroad.
