WHITMAN PROBE OF GOTHAM POLICE IS , DISCLOSING SCANDEL

(By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Feb. 11. Disclosure of police scandals rivalling those of the days' of Police Lieutenant Becker and the Herman Rosenthal murder, for which Becker and an East Side gunmen's gang went to death in the electric chair is forecast by former Governor Charles S. Whitman who, cloaked with authority by the district attorney, is probing into alleged grafting and corruption by New York city officials. He has termed the situation "grave" and threatens to unfold a vice ribbon of many hues. The Whitmsn Inquiry has been under way only a short time, since the State Assembly was urged to order legislative investigation Into New York City's administration early In January. Already two police captains have been -Indicted for alleged grafting, charged with accepting fees from business firms In exchange for police protection during strikes. They are Captain William A. Bailey, Manhattan, and Captain Percy DuBois, Brooklyn. More were said to be slated to follow them. Officials Oppose Move. Mr. Whitman has had his fights wiih higher city officials, and resorted to subpoena to bring Mayor Hylan and Police Commissioner Enrighl before him. Of these he demanded that his

force be given a certain r.umber of detectives, the particular men he wanted to aid in the investigation. He

exhibited state laws which he said an thorized him to have what he wanted

without interference by Mayor or

Commissioner.

When money seemed to be lacking

ror continuation of the inquiry, financial assistance from private sources

was promised the former governor, he finnonnced, and a certified check for

.$20,00(1 was presented to him on January 21 by Edward Hatch. .Tr.. chair

man of the New York Merchants' As

sociation committee on pollution, sewerage and waste disposal. This

check was mad available in the event

the Board of Estimate fails to author

ize a similar city appropriation for furtherance of the work, but later the f nance and budget committee of the Board of Estimate voted to approve

issuance of the bonds.

MURRAY. Many a motion picture actor, and actress, too, for that matter, has submitted stoically and with a glowing sense of duty well done while some doctor stitched tip a gash or set a broken bone. It is all part of the exciting and absorbing game, all in the strenuous day's work. It cannot be claimed however, that the cultivated surface equanimity of a screen artist cannot be disturbed by unexpected or distressing circumstances. Sometimes a little thing will produce results which would not do at all on the screen, at least in the particular picture being produced at the time. Such an incident occurred in the filming of "Princess Jones," a Vitagraph production starring Alice Calhoun, now showing at the Murray.

In a scene of "Princess Jones, showing Jed Bramson's dining room, Princess tries to signal the servant, Matilda Cotton, to serve coffee properly, over the right shoulder, to the wealthy young boarder, Arthur Forbes. Matilda, bewildered, holds the coffee cup over Arthur's head as she stares at the Princess. The cup slips in the saucer to the edge, and then the servant recovers it and sets it down. MURRETTE. Ruth Renick, playing an important role in "She Couldn't Help It," a Bebe Daniels Realait offering now showing at the Murrette theatre, is one of a trio of former ."sehoolmarms" who have won great success in motion pictures. The other two are Wanda Hawley, Realart star, and Lois Wilson, leading lady for another company. Of the three, however, perhaps Miss Renick's change from teacher's forum to stage and screen was most pecluiarly interesting. She was teaching the primary grades in a Phoenix, (Arizona) school with not a thought of the stage. The school she was in, however, needed some new decorations and the teachers arranged an amateur show for the purpose of raising the necessary funds. Miss Renick took the leading role and carried it off with remarkable success. In the audience that evening was a

theatrical man who was Impressed by the young girl's beauty and ability. After the show he hunted hr up and presented a contract, with the invitation to "Sign on the dotted line," or words to that effect. "I signed," related Miss Renick, "and I have been acting ever since in stock, on the road and before the camera. I enjoyed teaching, but I enjoy acting even more. It was a change I never regretted." MURRAY VAUDEVILLE Picturing the well-remembered days before old John Barleycorn "got his"

Will Stanton and company, Murray headliner for the rest of the week,

managed to pull the house down sever

al times. The "Stewed" guy played by

Stanton is a role that always takes

though by rights it should be getting

passe. A smart JSew York cafe setting adds to the act considerably. Others in the scene are a vamp danseuse, a violinist with some catchy tricks, and a jealous, disgusted but good-looking wife of a man 'who wasn't surprised by prohibition just had his breath taken away. Grace Ayer and brother with some clever and fast skating stunts, were decidedly up to snuff. The girl with her chic costumes and her midget brother took well. A good line was given by Ernest DuPille, humorist, who with his ready lingo, produced a "laugh a minute." He claims to be a one-time dude who is now subdued. Jean Gibson proved herself a singer of snappy jazz in good style. She has a good voice, good nature, and a taking way. The picture for the week is Alice Calhoun in "Princess Jones," some

thing out of the ordinary. The' star 13

Slowed by Exchange Rate (By Associated Press) HONOLULU. T. H.. Feb. 11. Business in Japan and China is dead, but the commerce of the Philippines has been practically untouched by the reversal of trade conditions, according

to statements by two travelers from the Orient who recently passed through Honolulu. Niels Anderson, head of an importing and exporting firm of Shanghai, said: "Business is practically impossible throughout the "Orient because of the present rate of exchange. Industry is at a standstill. Th

ally "nothing doing." Consignees of

ireignt irom tne united States and other parts of the world are leaving

goods on the wharves and warehouses rather than shoulder the responsibility and loss of handling them." Manuel Earnshaw, vice-president of a dock company of Manila, presented the Philippine aspect as follows: "While business in Japan and China is at a standstill, the Philippines have not been affected seriously by conditions farther east.

Announcement:

The management of the Washington Theatre begs to draw attention to an unusually strong dramatic picture which will be the offering at this theatre Sunday, Monday and Tuesday of next week. Richard Washburn Child"s gripping heart-iuterest storv, "A WHIFK of HELIOTROPE," h:is been dramatized and the result has exceeded our most sanguine expectations. As a. picture it is simply immense, for it carries all the elements that mark it a masterpiece. We have pre viewed "HOLIOTROPE." a Paramount picture, and we affirm without reservation that, although this gripping story of a father's love comes practically unheralded, as fa- as Ftars known to the Richmond motion picture .public are concerned. "HELIOTROPE," after the first public showing, will be the talk of the town. It is a story interpreted by actors and actresses in the fullest sense of the word, as in the case of "Humoresque," which created such a sensation when ehown at this theatre several months ago. There have befn many screen stories of mother love, but this remarkable study of the love of a father for his child, we predict, will long remain a screen classic.
