{In Her Latest Picture Coming to
the Grand Theatre Tues-
day and Wednesday.
! Bringing something new, something
{altogether different to the screen, has
[earned the following comment on Sam-
| uel Goldwyn from one of the leading
| critics of Los Angeles: “He is an ad-
venturesome soul—a man who likes to
try the unusual and watch the effects.”
In his latest undertaking, “The Dev-
il Dancer,” starring Gilda Gray, who
shook the seductive “Shimmy” into na-
tional popularity, at the Grand Thea-
tre on Tuesday and Wednesday of the
coming week, is a new exotic and
appealing dance created by the same
Gilda Gray. The Goldwyn lot was
hedged off from the curiosity of stran-
gers by more than unusually high fen-
ces as this mysterious dance was being
created. But through cracks in the
fences and from the bubbling over en-
thusiasm of Miss Gray and her co-
workers came a hint of what the suc-
cessor to the Charleston and the Black
Bottom will be. Ted Shawn, associated
with Ruth St. Denis, who had just re-
turned from Thibet, worked hard per-
steps of the various native dancers.
| With such a gathering of talent the
| public may well anticipate a terpsich-
|orean masterpiece. In the production,
[the dance becomes a motive for the
exotic lovliness of an English girl,
brought up by the Black Lamas of
| Thibet, a devil worshipping and strange
sect, who offer the vestal virgin, sym-
{ bolically as bride to their devil god.
| From this sensuous and wierd ritual
| dance, Miss Gray has created a mod-
[ern counterpart, with Clive Brook, her
| leading man in this production.
“The dance typifies the wierd cere-
{ mony that still exists in Thibet when a
pure, vestal virgin is offered to the
| devil deity,” said Miss Gray. “The steps
lare comparatively simple, and the en-
| tire body is called upon to express the
| ritual. It involves the dedication of,
first, the eyes, then the ears, and other
| parts’ of the body, finally the whole
body to the service of this fanatical
| religion. In-the course of the steps|casion of the twenty-fifth jubilee of

REV. FATHER JULIUS
LANGER SUCCUMBS
Gallitzin Pastor Had Been Iden-
tified With Altoona Diocese
for Eighteen Years,
The Rev. Father Julius Langer, pas-
tor of St. Mary's Catholic church at
Gallitzin, died at eight o'clock Satur-
day morning at the parsonage where
he had been in ill health for several
months, his condition becoming serious
last week. Death resulted from a com-
plication of ailments, including diabe-
tes. With Father Langer when the fi-
nal summons came, was Rev. Father
Stanley Schrall of Johnstown, who has
been in charge of the parish affairs
for some time, and the Rev. Father Se-
Wis.

ordination Father Langer toured Italy, |
Switzerland, France, Holland and Ger- |
many as a missionary. He came to Am- |
erica for his health in 1910, and joined |
the Altoona diocese.
| His first assignment was as assist- |
|ant to the Rev. Father Paul Brylski |
| of Gallitzin. Later Father Langer was |
appointed pastor of the new SS. Peter |
and Paul's church, Altoona, and a year |
later was sent to Hollidaysburg to take |
charge of St. Annes’ church and near- |
by missions. Early in 1919, upon the
death of Father Brylski, first pastor of
| St. Mary's church, Father Langer was
appointed to the Gallitzin charge by
the late Bishop Eugene A. Garvey. |
During Father Langer’'s pastorate at |
Gallitzin, the congregation grew in
numbers and the church was repaired
| ana redecorated. A convent for the
| Sisters of Nazareth also was erected |
(under Father Langer’s supervision.
Father Langer is survived by a bro- |
ther in Germany. Two cousins made
their home with Father Langer, and a
neice, Mrs. John J. Krish, of Al-|
toona, also resided at the rectory for!
several years. Oct. 28, 1926, was the oc-

Accused Reconstruct Shooting in
Confession; Self Defense Is

i. »
A paltry 25 cents cost Toni Antonio
his life at his home near Ashville on
Sunday night a week ago, so the lat-
est story of Ernest Hearn and Boyd
Shaffer reveals. The two men were
| borught to Ebensburg from Toledo, O.,
late last week by state police and a
| county detective.
Formal charges of murder have been
lodged against the two men and they
| were given preliminary hearings dur-
|ing the week.
| state policemen, and Frank Jones, Eb-
ensburg constable, who brought the
two men to Cambria county, a story
of a fight over 25 cents ‘has been told.
| The storieggof the two men, closely
| tallying, tell that they went to the An-
{tonio place on the fatal Sunday night
and bought a pint of whiskey. They
say they drank nearly all of it in the
home and then asked the price. They
were told, according to their story that
| the price was a dollar a pint if drunk
| side. |
They remonstrated against paying a
dollar, demanding to know why An-
tonio had not told them the condition |
before. They claim Antonio became |
rough and started to choke Hearn, and |
that Shaffer pulled a gun and fired |
six bullets into the floor in an effort | ATTORNEY DANIEL COLL
to frighten Antonio. |
Failing in that effort, they contend- |
ed, the tussle continued, and shortly |
later. Hearn, atempting, he says, to|
pull his gun, to frighten the bootlegger
off, accidently shot him.
From the stories told by the two men |
it is believed they will plead not guilty
of murder and build their battle ar-
ound self defense.
