Robert Taylor Stars in "The Crowd Roars" on Craterian's Screen FAVORITE SCORES NEW TRIUMPH IN PRIZE-RING ROLE Maureen O'Sullivan Is Ap pealing Foil in Action Jammed Picture JWany Favorites In Support A "movie" ln.tha real sense of thn word, so packed with motion and notion that It keeps the audience en the edge of Its seats throughout, Is "The Crowd Roars," Robert Tay lor's latest stellar triumph, now screening at the Crate rian theatre until Saturday. And It Is a triumph for Taylor, for he provides the surprise of the year In his first prize-right role, giv ing more verisimilitude to the char acter .of Tommy "Killer" McCoy than probably any other film player who ever essayed a fight part. If a virile, two-fisted, smashing role that more than fulfills the promise that the star rovealed In "A Yank at Oxford." Ho dishes It out, and how he takes It I This Is easily the finest Job of both acting and enter talnment that Taylor has over turned out. Toamcd with the star again Is Maureen O'Sullivan, who once more shows herself the Ideal romantic foil, sincere, appealing and forthright And for competition there's her school chum, Jane Wyman, admir able as the blond rival for Taylor's affections. If anyone could "steal" the pic ture from Taylor, which Is well-nigh Impossible, so completely does he scoro a knockout, It would be Frank Morgan as his father, the dissolute ox-VAudovllle "ham." As Brian Mc Coy, Morgan Is superb not only In his comedy that "leaves 'em In the aisles," but In his dramatic dollnea tlon of all the character's potential Itles. It Is an acting gem.

COOL UNDER FIRE OF Dixie Davis Says He Did ' Everything in Power to Air Tammanyite Before Turning State Evidence NEW YORK. Sept. I. (AP) Cool and unshaken, J. Richard (Dixie) Davis, a star state witness In the racket conspiracy trial of Political Boss James J. Hines, matched wits with defense counsel Lloyd Paul Stryker today. Davis swore he did "everything In my power" to protect Hines before finally and reluctantly, he said agreeing to turn state's evidence and testify, against the Tammany dis trict leader. He said when George Weinberg, former business manager of the Dutch Schultz policy racket syndi cate, tried to get him to testify for the state, he -told Weinberg: "I won't do It. I would have to In volve everybody. I'm going 'to protect Hines. I knew I was sunk anyhow," he added, "but I wanted to help Mr. Hines." Accused or Trnp Stryker accused Davis of attempt ing to "lay a trap" for Hines when Davis personally argued In supreme court last July for a dismissal of the racket conspiracy indictment after Davis had already made a sworn confession and agreed to plead guilty Taking a deep breaih, Davis almost shouted his denial. His signed confession was In the hands of the district attorney on May 21, he admitted. , The erstwhile "kid mouthpiece" of the old Dutch 8chu:tz mob planted his feet upon the top of the witness box, knees level with waist, and grinnlngly rebutted Striker's red-faced attempts to elicit fiat? "yes or no" answers. Only once did the witness drop hts voice from a cocksure briskness, parrying Stryker's questions with answers that extended Blmplo queries to many hundreds of words. Once Embarrassed The disbarred lawyer, ousted from the New York state bar when his connections with the Schultz "policy empire" became known, softened his voice when he admitted that his conscience finally bothered him about taking Schultz "trlggermen" and strong-arm mobsters into his mother's home. "Did H bother you?" demanded Stryker. "Yes." Davis replied solemnly. 'After a while it did." Davis further testified he "didn't know how to get out" of his asso ciation with the mob overlord. "1 was bothered all during my dealings with Schultz," he said. "I was In fear of my life." The first official U. S. patent was issued in July, 1790, Japan annexed Korea In 1910 Mussolini was oorn In !H83. r i TYPHOON LEAVES DEATH AND RUIN IN MYOSECTOR At Least 34 Killed, Scores Missing 15,000 Esti mated Homeless Many Ships Driven Upon Shore TOKYO.
