RIALTO.
“Cyuieroa.”
An unusual story. alive with
glow and spirit of romance and ad-
venture: settings and exteriors of
rare beauty: perfect acting and di—
rection, and a theme of universal
appeal.
That is the irresistible combina-
tion which we found in "Cytherea."
Goddess of Love. which opened at
the Rialto theatre yesterday for a
three-day engagement. It is a First
National picture presented by Samv
ucl Goldwyn. and was produced and
directed by George Fitzmauricc. The

as Lewis Stone, Alma. Rubens, Nor-
man Kerry. Ircne Rich. Constance
Bennett, Betty Bouton. Charles \Vel-
Iesley, Lydia. Yeamans Titus, Poach-
es Jackson and Mickey Moore.
“Cythcroa” is a masterly ioniance;
a genuine reflection of life. Appeal-

of making an illegal operation. and
released in bonds of $1,000 furnished
by Thomas Lupine.
As a result of complaint of the
dead woman‘s husband to the police
it is likely that an autopsy will be
performed on Mrs. Zenobia. Medical
Examiner Strntton. who was called
by Mrs. Aeavcllo when the woman
dropped dead. gave heart disease as
the cause of death, but it is now be-
licved that it was complicated by
other causes. \Vlicn the woman died
Mrs. Acavello claimed that she did
not know her. Zenobia told the po-

midwife several times.

Knobs are‘knobs. and dials'are
dials. yet it is a good policy to try
them enter: the shaft of a. stand-
ard variable condenser to he sure
they will work true and not be too
small for your instruments. before
buying.
A number of cheap knobs and
dials are made without bushing of
metal. The result is that your dial
may not run true and will scrape
the panel. The set screw for hold-
ing the dial on the shaft may be
threated in the material itself. In a
short time the threads will wear
out or tmr loose and you will be
forced to 'throw the dial away as
useless.
\Vith dials that are provided with
a metal bushing some will be found
with a. hole too small to allow the
shaft to fit. This is caused by carc-
lcss workmanship. The drill that is
used for. making the shaft hole in
the bushing becomes worn after it
has been 'in use for a short time. and
becomes smaller. The hole made by
the drill ecomes smaller and tin-
ally the dia s will n so on a stand-
ard size- shaft that t was designed
for.
This seems trifling. but in a. great
many cases instruments have been
ruined by forcing knobs or dials on
the shafts. If you are unable to
get the dial on far enough, it will
stick out away from the panel.
“’hat happens? Either you saw
off the end of the shaft in order to
get the dial on far enough. or you
leave it sticking out a half inch
from thepanel. either solution a
makeshift and the appearance and
working order of expensive appara-
tus is ruined.
Secure some valve grinding com-
pound such as is used for grinding
the valves of automobiles. Place a
little of this on the shaft of the in-
strument you wish to put the dial
on. Turn the dial around on the
shaft a few times and 'the compound
will wear away the bearing and the
shaft sufficiently to permit the use
of the knob or dial properly.

The second day of Hoffman 3 trial
before County Judge Harry Tleman
in St. George opened with the calling

them that the trial would take no
more than a. neck or ten days and
not three weeks, as reported. How-
over. fifty eight men were excused

Two more juriors were accepted
before the panel of 150 talesmen
was exhausted shortly after noon,
yesterday. Court was adjourned un—

at one of the court roo‘m. con-
trary to Judge Tiernan‘s order that

to testify.
It is reported in staten Island that
Hoffman's defense will be that he
was a. slave to morbid fears that
made him do things that caused him
to be suspected of the murder of Mrs
Bauer.
He will maintain that lack‘ of self-
conflderice and nervous apprehension

like a. guilty man.
In that way, according to the 1-11-
mor, he will' try to. explain away
sending his pistol to his brother just
after the murder of Mrs. Bauer; his
being harbored and leaving off shell
rimmed glasses to change his apo
pearance and his alleged request
that, a. friend help him with an alibi
in case the finger of suspicion
pointed his way. -
1n questioning the talesmen Mr.
Facn admitted that his case was
built purely upon circumstantial ev-
idence. Some prospective jurors have
at jected to this and been excused on
this score. '
Mr. Noroton denied all rumors
that 11's defense would be insanity.
While he would not reteal its na-
ture. he said he would make no at-
tempt to present his client as being
a netim of delusions. Hoffman will
not be placed on the stand unless
