Fascinating, dangerous, silent, the underworld of any great American city is rarely called to the attention of the general public. : Only when it rushes its way into the newspapers by some extraordin- ary event pe the figures, famous in he underworld come to the surface r general observation. Such a world is dramatically de- cted in "The Hawk's Nest," the jrst National Picture atring Mil- ton Sills which comes to the Regent Theatre beginning Monday. : That the underworld has a strict code all its own is apparent. Nothing in the world is so hated as a "double- crosser" or a 'stool-pigeon." One may steal from strangers but never from one's friends, Many a criminal has refused to reveal his accomplices even though immunity is held out as a reward for talking. ? Underworld language changes rap- J idly, as does all slang. But it is a la all its own, The general ublic, from crook s and stories, s intimate with a few of the more obvious expressions of crookdom. The layman, however, could hardly understand a conversation between real criminals if they chose to con- fuse the hearer, The expression "mob" or d" for a is a common one. A gun is generally re- ferred to as a "rod" A man is not searched--he is "fanned." A "racket" is another common ex- pression in and out of the under- world. But in criminal circles it means either a general business, such as bootlegging, safe-cracking, or picking pockets--or it may mean a particular venture. A gunman is known generally as a "torpedo." Every influential crook whose operations are at all extensive. has a number of professional gun. men in his employ for the shooting, and many of the higher class © criminals do not themselves carry a gun, leaving murder to the men trained for that business. : A bank bandit or safe-cracker in il stufted Olives "- ¥ | I.

Milton Sills The Hawk's Nest these days of big business, is old- fashioned, and more or less of a "piker" to the newer type of crim- inal, The Rassafe of the national prohibition law brought into exist- ence a type of criminal entirely new, Bootlegging has made many big fortunes. Huge organizations have sprung up all over the country. Bootleg kings own huge boats to bring liquor from Canada and Mexi- co, speed boats to run it into the landing places, and fleets of trucks to transport it. They have men to protect it, many armed with ma- chine-guns, and an enormous system of retailers to dispose of it to the ultimate consumer, Few criminals in these days of modern warfare will shoot policemen, strangely enough. The penalty at- tached to a conviction on a liquor charge is not heavy enough to war- rant a murder as means of escape. The deadliest warfare goes on be- tween the criminals themselves, Many furious gun battles are waged to pro- tect illegal cargoes of liquor, mot from law, but from. "hi-jacking" gangs. The modern criminal, as is pointed out in "The Hawk's Nest," is not the ill-dressed bum that he is ordin- arily depicted. We rub elbows with them in theatres and restaurants, and pay them no special regard except they scem particularly quiet and well behaved, The public at large has little to fear from them, dangerous as they are, for the reason that they have no traffic together, Fortunes are made by the crim- inal gangs of today, and a single robbery is too small a game to in- terest the "big business man" of crookdom. The conflict between rival leaders of gunmen is dramatically depicted in "The Hawk's Nest," with Sills, as the mysterious and much-feated "hawk" © battling for supremacy against the character enacted by Montagu Love. Both have their or- ganizations, their henchmen and their strengths and weaknesses. The actual conflict is provided by the fact that the Hawk's pal is sen- tenced to death--to hang--for a mur- der actually committed by the rival gang leader, Living up to the under- world code of protecting and fight- ing for one's friends, the Hawk sub- jects himself to great danger in or- der to prove the innocence of the condemned man and convict his gival. HER HUSBAND'S MAID (Los Angeles Examiner) A curious arrangement to averd a divorce suit has been approved by a Chicago judge. A wife be- comes her husband's housekeeper rather than sue for a separation. #] want to stay in th home I love and with the children I have raised," she told the court. 'But that will be impossible if my hus- band feels he has a right to be cruel to me." There is something in this that points to the bitter truth at the bottom of an old, old vaudeville joke, One comedian asks another: "Who was the lady I saw you with' last evening?" And the reply is: "That was no lady; that was my wife." -------------------------------------- Among the useful articles New York shops are showing for the summer traveller is a new electric fron, which comes in a leather case all its own, and in addition has a strawcovered handle and its own stand, The cords on these are made extra long so that they may be used in any part of a room, and the fron is made to ac- commodate any ordinary voltage, - 5 A trained monkey plays an important role in Buster Keaton's starring vehicle, "The.

BENNETT STRONG LEADER (Montreal Herald, Lib,) Liberals may differ from Mr. R, B, Bennett on matters of policy, but they will make a great mistake if they underrate the strength of the new leader of the Opposition, We doubt if the Conservative party has ever had a more sincere and disinterested leader than Mr. Ben- nett, and certainly not since tne days of Sir John A, Macdonald have they had a more businesslike one or one of more attractive per- sonal qualities, Something of hji¢ strength as a political ecampaign- er was shown at the great recep- tion accorded to him at the Cone servative rally in La Prairie on Saturday last, when one of the biggest and most friendly gather. ings in the history of the county met to hear hiny deliver the open- ing speech in his Quebec campaign, La Prairie is a hotbed of Liberal. ism and the present Liberal mem- ber, Mr. Roch Lanctat has always been regarded as solidly entrench- ed, Yet Dr. Artl;?

LEGION AUXILIARY HOLD LAST WHIST DRIVE OF SEASON A whist drive under the auspices of the Ladies' Auxilary, Canadian Legion Post 43 was held last eve- ning at the home of Mrs. H, Gay, 281 Burk street, This will be the last drive of the season to be put on by this club, Keen competition was seen in every game, The ladies' first prize, a pair of embroidered pillow cas~ es, was won by Mrs. W, Cole.

Pianos are the stock in trade. All day they jingle with new and un- tried tunes, as aspiring song writers play their own numbers or profes- sional players try out the score on buyers. Songs are handled in much the same way that a magazine handles short stories sent in, Songs are read for their sentiment and then played for their tune. Players handle the mass. of them just as readers handle stories, passing only the best to the higher authorities. While a magazine holds an ed- itorial conference for the final word the music publisher holds a- salon for stage singers, at which he has the best songs presented. Some of these find their way into musical comedies and others into vaudeville acts, while still others are pub- lished by the music house on spece ulation. "Thanks for the Buggy Ride," deals with the efforts of a young song writer and his girl to sell the song of that title. Glenn Tyron plays the role of the writer. ine TETANUS IS FATAL | ¢ Windsor, July 6.--Developing tetanus infection in a slight wound, eight days after being injured, William James Haggis, 7 years old, of 214% Partingdon Avenue, Sandwich, died late last night at the home of his parents, The boy suffered an abrasion of dis right leg when he knocked against a cement hlock at a house under construction, The wound was not considered dangerous until Wed- @2sday night, when physicians were called, ---- Som -- S-- > Where shall aurant, Meet Me at the Grand Cafe we eat? \ "OF COURSE 4 The Grand J}, The usual answer is, "Let's eat at "The Grand" Rest. ; That's the answer 3 that has made this place so popular and back of that popularity is the diner's experience of fine foods----wholesome, zestful, delightful in every detail of quality, preparation and service, Grand Caf ~~ Upstairs--Felt Block, King St. E. a "Where Your City Entertains Its Guests" y Ny \Y Caw Te he Wo NEW MARTIN m ---- Coming ONDAY Glen Here is a Picture You Are Sure to Enjoy to the Limit - 1 Juding Va ryon sl Ain Comedy "HER ONLY | HUSBAND" Fox News The Big Entertainment at Regular Prices
