"He's looking for his own picture," the monarch quipped. The King traded wisecracks with the British-born American c-omedian at the Royal Command performance of "The Bishop's Wife" Their exchange and the personalities in attendance stole the spotlight from the film itself. The picture, exempt from the i new 5 percent. British tax on American films because it was shown for the benefit of the Cinematograph Trade Benevolent Fund, raised 25,000 ($100,000) or more from the 2,000 persons who paid up to $210 for seats. It will be shown tonight at a Liverpool benefit, but the British public in general will not get to see it because of the tax situation.

The press commented sparsely on the- picture. Commentators were more Interested in the fact that 17-year-old Princess Margaret appeared in public with young King Michael of Romania for the first time at the performance, and in the King's exchange with Hope. Hope handed the album of signed photographs to Princess Margaret, to be.delivered to her elder sister. The King asked whether r. GIVE A down hard.

Amon those featured in the stage show at the command performance were screen stars Robert Montgomery, Loretta Young, Alexis Smith and her husband, Craig' Stevens, Carole Landis and David Nlven. The theme was British-American fellowship.

Nov. 26.

CP) A unique experiment. in penology is taking shape at Mon teith Jail farm, Ontario's newest penal institution in the heart of Northern Ontario's timber and mining country. Experts believe the experiment here may lead to the reform of every penal institution in Ontario. Based 'on the philosophy that no man is entirely bad, it is founded on the theory that with Just and humane treatment, all but the most hardened criminals can be returned to society as useful, honest citizens. Here are some of the features which will make the jail unique: 1.

Guards are unarmed. In fact, there is hot a firearm on the premises. There are no billies for the use of guards. 2. There is no fence around the Jail.

3. Many prisoners wander about the grounds virtually at will. Unescorted and free to escape any time he pleases, one prisoner runs a tractor half-a-mile from the nearest guard. Jail trucks manned by prisoners run up and down the road without a guard- accompanying them. 4.

The food is good, living quarters are cleaner and more comfortable than in most jails. "I'll admit things seem a little unusual said Superintendent R. Whyte, a former Luergeant of guards at Burwash re formatory near Sudbury, who inaugurated the present system. "Despite the fact that our system may be open to criticism ki some quarters, we have already established at least one record in Canadian penal history. Not one man has been charged or penalized for any reason during the period the jail has been operating." The jail, 40 miles from Tim-mins, opened last May.

"Repeaters in crime are often bred right in our said Mr. Whyte. "When a man gets harsh and inhuman treatment when in confinement, he is prone to turn against the entire world and to feel that his only friends are his fellow inmates. He carries this feeling w'ith him when he gets outside again. And hating and distrusting everyone, he winds up in trouble again In short order." Bright sunlight floods through big windows at the jail, walls are a cheerful light green and floors are highly polished.

Prisoners work a standard eight-hour day. There are radio loudspeakers in each; dormitory and these stay on until 10 p.m. However, on hockey nights," the radio remains on until the game is over.

"I'd been asleep since 10.30 when 1 woke up and heard Miss Jane calling from the said housekeeper, Hannah Gade. "So I went down and unbolted the front door for her. It was just 12.20.; I looked at the hall clock." Fordney turned to attractive athletic Jane Belmont, one of August Carlson's nieces.

Carlson had been stabbed to death in his bed between 11 and one o'clock that night. "I drove home from my club at 10.45", Jane explained, "got a copy of the script of our play from my room, said good night to Connie in her room and returned to the club. When I came home again shortly after 12, the night bolt was on so I hollered to Hannah. I didn't murder uncle!" At a nod from Fordney, Con-seulo Carlson, the other niece, spoke.
