BY PAUL NEA Service Writer NEW YORK, May Edward P. Mulrooney, newly appointed police commissioner of New York, City, commands a standing ajmy of 20,000 men. Grover Aloyslus Whalen, his spectacular tnd widely-publicized predecessor, commands a department store' salary of $50.000. James J. Walker, playboy mayor of the metropolis, again commands the civic spotlight.

So everybody's happy. Especially happy Is blue-eyed, grim-visaged Mulrooney, the only patrolman who ever rose through the ranks to the civilian Job of bossing the world's largest constabulary. Mayor Walker can have his columns of newspaper space, his wisecracks, his impeccable haberdashery. Grover Whalen can have his foreign decorations, his receptions for visiting celebrities, his (rardenia. even his diamond- itudded commissioner's badge.

"There's a story out that I was born there too," said Mulrooney, from one corner of his mouth.

true. I was born across rhe river. But my first memories were of Manhattan. I knew this district well. Guess I kind of belong here." Coming from the austere commissioner, that was a long speech, especially for publication.

Through all his 34 years of police experience he has been known as a silent man, of extreme modesty, and a stern disciplinarian. He has thrice cited for bravery. His father was an Irish imml- jrrnt, a sea-going Celt who gave up his wanderings and became a harbor pilot directly after meeting the buxom daughter of the noultry vendor in Centre Market. He was a union soldier In the Civil War serving with Duryea's long-famed Zouaves. Edward Pierce Mulrooney was born in 1874.

He went to public school on the west side, was know as the hellion of his neighborhood, and made lif" miserable fr the comer cop. The elder Mulrooney was able to send him to Conner Uninn for a short tinrv war-1 learned such mathematics and cncineerinf as would helr him a harbor navigator, too. Joined His Father At 16 he joined his father and in a few years had a pilot's license of his own. But the life palled. He wanted action.

And it so happened that the New York police department at that time was advertising tor able, honest and ambitious Edward P.

Mulrooney, just 21. went to see the commissioner. His name was Theodore Roosevelt. For nine years after Roosev.lt appointed him, Mulrooney remained a patrolman. Being a river man, he Immediately had been assigned to the marine police, and he was on the scene when 1021 lives were lost in the steamship Slocum disaster.

Asked to tell of his experiences In connection with the catastrophe, Commissioner Mulroonnv said: "The Slocum lying on her beams. We were there three days looking for dead. I pulled out 28." His work won his first official commendation. A few years later ho nearly lost his life in rescuing a drownir.c man. That meant a second edition.

CAPITOL The much heralded and Ions Awaited screen spectacle, from the Warner "Noah's Ark," with beautiful Dolores Costello in thf stellar role, has.a spectacular and imposing opening today at the Capitol Theater, It is a magni- licent spectacle.

It stirred the capacity audience to wild applause and cheering. Never has such a breath-taking film been seen. Ik cumulative effect is tremendous. Never before have such mighty spectacular effects been achieved upon the screen. The subject is the most powerful and dramatic recorded in the Old Testament, and Warnsr have made it the most absorbing, thrilling and spec- ts.cular production ever filmed.

"Noah's Ark" comes through the test magnificently, justifying all the claims that have been made for It by Warner Bros, who have nursed it from its infancy to its present gigantic growth. The sequences are impressive 'and dramatic. The settings, vast to an unbelievable degree, add power and a quality of majesty to the colorful drama of the flood sqeuences, while tlw accompanying effects are tremendous and startling. ARCADIA--HARLINGEN is the feature attrac- tton of the Harlingen Arcadia theater current program today and Thursday. In the title role of England's brilliant Prime Minister is Mr.

George Arliss, the distinguished actor of the legitimate stage. It was Mr, Arliss, it will be remembered, for whom the play was originally written and in which he subi sequently acted for nearly five years, both in New York and in many cities throughout the country. And although Mr. Arliss has appeared in a score of'successes, it generally conceded that his interpretation of Disraeli represents vhc high mark of his career. Brilliant, witty and eccentric valued principle above success: a man far removed from the petty jealousies and bigorty of his time.

In his present characterization of Disraeli, r. Arliss brings the same understanding and sympathy that originally won for him unl- vcrsaj acclaim. Mr. Arliss' perform- in this all-talking dramatization of "Disraeli" must rank with the finest acting yet seen and heard on the audible screen. In critics and audiences who have already 'seen this picture in New York have classed it and the performance of Mr.

Arliss as a distinct Incident, the commissioner finally consented to talk. He said: "It was cold." In 1900, pretty Miss Elizabeth Hortlink married the handsomest young member of the marine police. Her faith in him soon was justified, for Mulrooney became a LEergeant, assigned to the staff of a prominent inspector. Answering report one night that burglars were looting an apartment, he went In alone, battled with and captured two criminals. He got another citation, soon followed by a commission as' 'lieutenant in traffic squad.

Mulrooney became a captain in 1923, and a deputy inspector three years later. Immediately 5iover Whalen was appointed police commissioner, he placed the veteran officer in charge of the detective bureau as deputy inspector, and last March created the title of assistant chief inspector for Mulrooney's benefit. Will Live in Same.House Mrs. Mulrconey, of course, is very proud that her husband has become the big boss. Not that it will make any difference In the Mulrooney routine.

They will continue to live in their five-room apartment up' in the with their two daughters, and she will continue to do the'cooklng and the marketing, just as she has done for 30 years. Apparently, too, no change has been wrought in her husband. Mulrooney has watched many commissioners come and go. Some have been easy-going, and some hard-boiled, but there was only one Grover Whalen. Conspicuous to thB last, he went out in a blazs of glory, speeches and floral tributes, after making provision for Mulrooney's incoming, ceremonies, which were somewhat more elaborate than the inauguration of a president.

The grim old veteran looked on silently as rookies of the Police College dressed In white duck trousers, gray jerseys and berets sang a "Stein Song" adaptation laudatory of Whalen, law, duty, youth, life, the fates, the girls, the mayor, the new commissioner and their real old alma mater. He said nothing as workmen went into Whalen's old office and remov- edthe equestrian statue of Napoleon, the oil paintings, the globes, the tapestries, the massive mahogany desk and the parchment- shaded antique lamps. Then Mulrooney moved In a desk, some chairs and a couple of cuspidors and went to work. He's just a cop.
