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."
