about quite a few murder cases."
“it's a law of retribution. Berry-e

He heard a gasping cry. and that was all.
about that ring. and Marie Reel.
in: leaving for Grafton early in the
morning."
"Oh yes—and by the way. Berry.
here's a funny thing." Jimmy pro
duced a letter from the pocket of
his cost. which was hanging over
the back of a chair. "1 got this letter
today. Now. as a smart young crirn
luel lawyer. suppose you see what
you make of it."
Barry read it. "Who is this bliss
Catonf" he asked after he bed do.
lshed. referring to the signature.
“She was s etenographerend a
sort .of secretary to that fellow Per.
ler who dred me from my lot: with

"And she says she thinks you were
the victim of e fume-up." He read
vsguely in an attempt to rationali-
the strange procession of events.
That evening found blue with Hen-
tenant O‘Dsy at police heeddnsriere.
"Did Thaddeus Rand have any
brothers or sisters?“ he Inked.
O'Day sat and pondered. “'3'!-
not sure." he said dually. "there
was some tall: or rumor that be bad
s sister. but it's been too long to
remember. 1 sort of think there was
a sister."
Jimmy said: “Barry Colvin
brought a ring when he came here.
it had the name Marie in it and In!

Reel. of course." '
"More than likely." assented
O'Dsy. "but does it mun anything!"
“Nothing. except that ha going
to run it down if I can. l'ns sure
that the motive for in: tatner's nluro
der comes somewhere from out of
his past. That's why it's worth in-
vestigeting.“
He reached for his bet. “if there
were any way of tracing my grand-
father—if he did bsve any sister-that
might be sble to tell us something.
or that might help as clear up this.
this fog—then we might get some-
where.“
“You can never tell. Rand. Maybe

He felt certain. cells threaded his

Perhaps old Thaddeus was dead.

PALACE
Pole Now is presented for today
only at the Palace theatre in
“Flower of Night.“ said to be the
greatest picture she has ever pro-
duced. The story is concerned
about the days of '49 when the
great gold rush to California
brought people by the score to that
Country. Not alone is it u ranistlc
story with historical si niiicarlce
and atmOsphere peculiar to Cali-
fornia. but the locationsmrc mogul.
tlcent in scenic beauvy.
Tomorrow and Wednesday. "The
Little Irish Girl." a worthwhile en-
tertainment in observance of St.
Patrick‘s Day will occupy the Pal»
ace screen. Here is a. crook play
that is different. with Dolores Cos-
tello and John Hen-on in the leads.
The story is built around three men
and 3. girl who try to play the age-
old game of outwittlng the other
fellow in the shady realms of crook-
ed finance. it takes amazing twists
and turns that fascinate and charm.
REGENT
With the reputation of a. big .\' w
York stage success. with the gin l-
orous back stage life of Broadway
for e. background. with a brilliant
cost of screen and stage favorites.
headed by Tom Moore. Bessie Love
and Harrison Ford. "The Song and
Dance Man." this afternoon opened
Regent theatre. It is the picturin-
. ilon of George M. Cohen's theatrical
comedy and is n pllotoplsy to look
forward to ullh pleasant anticipa-
tlon.
There hone helm many stories
written. centering around the color-
ful life behind the asbestos cur-
tain, but none that combined the
laughter and heart tugs. the pathos
and humor. the romance and pir~
turesqucncss in such appealing
fashion as this se-nllmrnldl tale of a
typical song and dance troupes.
“The Song and Dance Man" rre-
volves itself around a youthful
undeviilian. whose» tremendous
conceit blinds him to the fact that
he is nothing but a third rate so-
tor. He is, clonal. e harlot-.30.
lucky chap. generous, seif~sacriflc~
int. and over ready to lend ft fellow
trooper a helping hand. His aw...
pathetic. and inter. romantic inter-
est in a charming little actress. and
his efforts to help her in her climb
to the musical comedy heights, are
vividly and cnierieiningly por-
trayed.
