Many crook stories hare been
filmed, some of tb.em good, others
of leaser quality, mt it has re
mained for - Paramount to gire
the motion picture public a mas
terpiece of crime drama which is
true td life and constructire to its
treatment.
The picture is "Underworld" an

violent adventuress of a group of
men -'and woroen of. criminal,' in
sjtnr.tsin a metropolitan American
cliy: -It shaws gangland in its
trne colors."" The Characters have
dislrorted viewpoint tqward life
but they possess human qualities,
tqp, that actuate 'their desperate
act and color their loves, feuds,
and ; depredat.tr an. There is re
generation for only two of the
characters, Clive "Brdok and
Evelyn Brent, a man and a girl
whose underworld associates have.
been brought about by strange
circumstances 'and who finally
GREEN
find "the right way" through
their lore.
George Bancroft, as a gang
leader, is a huge, roistering bar
barian who lives by violence and
dies the same way. Fred Kohler,
a rirargangster. is a savage ban
dit, second only to Bancroft. The
grimness of the picture is light
ened by Larry Semon's spontan
eous humor.
ine taie moves swirtly to ,a
startling conclusion' that would
appear highly melodramatic were

psychology of crime down to a
science io its relation to the screen
drama.
In addition to "Underworld"

PARIS, Sept. 26 (AP) The
Amorican Legion is marching
away from Paris.
Verdun, Rheims, Belfort, Sois
sons and ' Rome were the . destina
tions of several thousand legion
naires who left the French capital
today. Belfort. that , stout old
French citadel in the eastern fron
tier', provided the fireworks for
the French reception to the Amo
leans today.
The great exodus began with
the departure from Gare Lyons
of a special train fpr Rome at 3:55
p. m. The train will stop at Nice,
Cannes and Monte Carlo. Premier-!
Mussolini will greet the legion
naires on their arrival at the Ital
ian capital, and today three
French ministers . wished them
God speed as they set out for It
aly. From the highest officials to the
last doughboy there was nothing
bub satisfaction with the success
of the convention and gratitude
to the French for their welcome.
At Belfort, known as France's
1871 Verdun, Premier Poincare
himself came from his summer
home In, Lorraine to bid his Am
erican 'friends goodbye. He made
the most concilatory address to
ward his late enemies that he has
pronounced since the armistice.
