RUMANIAN TRAINS CROWDED; PASSENGERS RIDE ON GAR ROOF

' (By Associated Press.) BUCHAREST. Rumania, Oct. 28. If Americans feel that their subway e, railroad and trolley cars are crowded, conditions in Rumania and other parts of tha Balkans are worse. Railroad traffic today In Rumania is bo great that passengers ride on the roof cf every train by the hundreds. When the tops of the trains are so crowded that they can hold no more, the passengers cling to the running boards, ride on the bumpers and even on the under framework of the car. The fare is the same whether the passenger rides in a compartment or on the roof of the car. Accidents are frequent. Often when a train has entered a tunnel a number of passen Kers have been swept off the roof to their death. The congested traffic is due to the email number of locomotives and

coaches available and to insufficient trackage. Most of the country's rolling stock was carried off by the Germans or destroyed. Some of the locomotives and cars have been.'replaced, but the number, is far from adequate. A large American locomotive concern has- contracted to . send a number of '.engines here,, taking :in payment, a quantity of oil. Box Cars for Public. There are at present less than 3,000 locomotives in Rumania, Including the newly acquired provinces of transylvania ani Bessarabia. About half this number -are in order. Most of them are of German or Hungarian construction. There is such a shortage of passenger coaches that box cars are often used for the conveyance of the public..' . ' ... The total trackage in Greater Itu mania Is about 10,500 miles. This has to serve an area of nearly 300,000 square miles and a 'population of 12,OOO.OOOi . Many of ; the steel rails are almost .worn out and the road beds are in. need of major repairs. Rumanian railway officials say that American railroad men and engineers would'ido well to investigate business prospects in Rumania. Railroads must be constructed, and other doubletracked The country will require an enormous quantity of railroad supplies

to re-equip" and reconstruct; the lines

that suffered during the war. Bridges also must be built, canals cut and harbors extended.

The Theatres

MURRAY It was while, Shirley Mason was having her tussle with the leader of the gang, in making one of the scenes in "The Little Wanderer" which comes Thursday to the Murray theaterand had his head pinned tightly

under her arn, beating him up, that the boy felt like crying "s'nuft" inj earnest. Bost Miss Mason and the boy were panting with the effort of the fight before the camera. "It got pretty hot," said the youngster afterward in telling about the battle with the Fox star. "You'd never think, to look at her that Shirley Mason had so much muscle. I just had to holler to her 'Don't hit so hard!' And she said, I got to get action!'" The boy rubbed his shoulder and added with a grin: , "Well, she got action, all right!"

MURRETTE Norma Talmadge, her leading man, Percy Marmont, and the rest of her company, while engaged In filming "The Branded Woman,"' Norma's latest First National picture, which is now showing at the Murrette Theatre, spent the entire night working on board the ocean liner Kaiserin Augusta Victoria at its Hoboken pier. Another interesting trip took the

star, Marmont and Charles Lane down to Washington Square with Director Albert Parker and his staff to film a short series of shots of the Greenwich Village section. The picture, which is adapted from Oliver D. Bailey's famous stage piay, "Branded," has been produced on an elaborate scale, and is declared to be the most pretentious starring vehicle thus far given to Miss Talmadge.
