Melody Has Role In Rlalto Drama Music is at last coming Into Its own in moving pictures. It has found Ite proper place. Slowly, hesitantly, but surely, music is coming back Into pictures. Not the blatant, draswed-In-by-the-heels theme song music, which was done to death before It had a chance to drown the movies In Its Insistent, raucous noise waves, but music as a background where It natu rally emphasizes dramatic situations. In "The Kiss Before the Mirror." the Intriguing Continental feature which comes to the Rlalto tomorrow, the haunting music of middle-Europe Is most adeptly used. Laid originally 4 In the land of the Danube, where the world's greatest musician have composed, this play by Ladlslaus Fo- I dor caused ft sensation when first presented abroad with Its composi tions and lilting airs which acconv pany the drama.

SILVER SCREEN REVIEW By Mary Grelnei Kelly. Another gleaming star belongs be hind the name of George (Miracle Man) Arllss, who, above all other ac tors, is able to resurrect the historical dead from their graves and revitalize them to the quivery pitch of modern entertainment demands. "Voltaire," based on the life of the great French philosopher, which opened yesterday at Hunt's Craterlan, is his latest, and In some ways his best. There is always an artistic complete ness abouj an Arllss production which sets It spsrt from others laying claims to greatness. "Voltaire" Is no excep tion. Ebbing on from smooth opening to well rounded conclusion, with the climax a, grlpplryrly dramatic one, the play Is practically Impossible to an aljrae In part. With the final scene, one sees the picture as ft whole, ft pic ture thoroughly entertaining and ut terlv satisfying. "Voltaire," with long, skinny elo quent hsnds, penetrating eyes, and fiery soul of poet apd philosopher, lives as only Arllss can make him live. Doris Kenyon Is ft beautiful and ef fective Madame Pompadour. Reginald Owen 11 perfect as the weak but charming Louis the Fifteenth, and the rest of the cast are harmoniously up to standard.

Pk..uniim NOW I'ntll Tomorrow Nlte WM.TER HILTON In "Oabrlel Over the Hhlt Houe" Comedy Cartoon News (Continued from Page One) Henrietta B. Martin, president of the self-styled "Good Government Congress." her father, C. H. Brown, secretary of the organization and L. O. Van Wegan and E. L. Fitch, reputed "Congressmen," charged with "dis orderly, riotous and violent conduct," as the result of an attempted buggy whlpplng by Mrs. Martin of Leonard N. Hall, editor of the Jacksonville Miner last February 35. went on trial before a Jury in circuit court this morning. All the defendants were more or less active In the late Banks -Fehl turmoil. The court ruled that the testimony be confined solely to what happened In front of the News office at the date specified and who took part In It. The court explained this would "prevent the introduction of collateral matters that have nothing to do with the alleged crime. We do not care anything about what happened be fore or after, or what people said or thought. The only issue before the court and Jury are the circumstances surrounding the actual altercation." Banks Opposed Action, Mrs. Janet Ouches, former secre tary to L. A. Banks, local agitator, testified that Mrs. Martin came to Banks' home the afternoon of the epi sode, told her her plans to "whip young Hall." Bantu the witness said, "counselled against such a thing;' but Mrs. Martin said "I have made up my mind." "If you are determined, I will stand back of you'," the witness de clared Banks then said. The witness said Mrs, Martin told her, " 'Mr. Martin was angry and would take the matter In his own hands, but I told him It was my per sonal affair, and I would handle It In my own way.". The witness testified Mrs. Martin told her "she feared bloodshed If the men met, as Hall has a permit to carry a pistol." Mrs. Guches. with her hus band, was seated in an auto across the street when the fracas started. Brown Bought Whips. Verne Van Dyke, clerk at Lamport's testified that Brown came to the store In the morning and looked at two whips and returned In the afternoon and bought them. Van Dyke cut off the butt of one whip, o It would fit in Brown's pant leg. One end was placed In a sock to keep It from dropping out. The whip was intro duced as "exhibit A." The defense objected on the grounds It was "in competent, Immaterial and irrevelant, and not binding on Mrs. Martin." Van Dyke testified Brown "preferred a whalebone whip." Roy R. Shreve of "Your Office Boy" testified that about the time of the ruckus, there was quite a crowd around the News office, when he come to his business from supper, and Just as he was entering the door, he saw Hall leave the News, when Fitch stopped him and Mrs. Martin appeared with a whip In her hand and struck the scribe with It. The crowd and the police gathered quick ly around and Shreve saw no more hostility. ' Paul Luy testified that a short time before the assault, he saw Brown peeking in the alley window of the News, "so I went out to see what he was up to." Luy, an employe of the News at the time, said he saw Fitch leaning against a lamp-post, and Mrs. Martin was seated In Van Wegan's auto. The street was full of peo ple "eyeing the News and Brown was fussing around." The court ruled that Luy could not testify "that he felt something was going to happen." The defense held this would "be a conclusion of the witness." Fltrh Grabbed Hall. Hall came out of the News front door, Luy said, "and Fitch grabbed him by the arm and turned him around. Then Mrs. Martin hopped out of the auto and hit Hall twice with the buggy-whip she held In her hand," People came running from all directions, the witness said, and he further testified "McKitrick, cap tain of the Banks Guards was shout ing around and a number of people known as Banks Guards were on the sidewalk." Under cross-questioning by Attor ney Enrlght, Luy denied "you know as a matter of fact Fitch grabbed Hall by the coat-tall and tried to hold him back," or that Hall "clinch ed with Mrs. Martin." Luy said Hall "only put his hands on Mrs. Martin's shoulders.' Attorney Enrlght queried if "Sheriff Schermerhorn was not present," and the witness replied "Schermerhorn had been arrested for ballot-theft about the time of the whipping." The court then asked: "What has Schermerhorn got to do with this case, anyway?" and halted further questioning along that line. "Beat Hell Out of Him." Harry Moore testified he was walk ing up the street and passed Brown, Fitch and "a man by the name of Croft, standing in the alley," and heard Brown say: "When he comes out the door, grab him and beat hell out of him.' " The witness saw Hall RCA PERFECT SOl'Nn Ends TOMOHT l.ee Tracy In "PRIVATE JONES" STARTS TOMORROW "KINO OF JAZZ" BODY-FIR Per Tier In Load Lots mm Quality and Measure A I Guaranteed $ I Medford Fuel Co. 1 im N.

He went Into the News, told the trio he suspected something was going to happen, and Hall and Newbury looked at Brown. Fitch and Van w-gan while Tuttle went to the phone. Later Hall left, and Fitch stopped him, and Mrs. Martin came out of the auto and started lashing Hall, the wit ness said. " Van Wegan showed up, but I did not see what he did." Moore further testified the police also show ed up, the crowd was dispersed, and alt concerned taken to the police sta tion." Moore said, "I knew Croft, as he applied for aid the first day he was In town, and Col. Burton pointed out Fitch to me afterwards.' The court ruled that Col. Burton hitting Fitch later with a platol butt had nothing to do with the case, under trial, when the defense started to dwell upon thae turmoil incident. IS C. E.
