AT THE MOVIES | ———________—_e PARAMOUNT THEATRE “The Locked Door” which opened at the Paramount Theatre yesterday. appeals to the majority as a most en- tertaining and cnjoyable talking pic- ture. Throughout a background of vivid action, with floating drink palaces, police raids and a murder, a beauti- ful romance is intelligently woven with tense drama and fast action. The picture's boast of an all cast is well justified in the perfor. mances of Rod La Rocque, Barbara. Stanwyck, the stage star of “The Noose” and “Burlesque,” William Boyd, the dynamic star of the play, “What Price Glory,” and pretty Bet- ty Bronson. These four stellar play- ers lend a quiet realism to their parts that is a welcome innovation.

Through the Liberty loan organization the Silas H. Strawn citizens’ committee expects to raise $74,000,000 to keep the local governments running. Nearly $12,000,000 is needed immedi- ately to pay the overdue salaries of 43,800 public employes. In two days | only half this sum has been sub-/| | Seribed. ‘The SOS to the “four-minute men” was sent out lat> yesterday by Strawn | When it appeared evident that moneys he had hoped to obtain were not promptly forthcoming. He prevailed upon Philip R. Clarke, president of the Central Trust Company of Illinois, to organize the “four-minute men” for a drive in the manner so successful in the sale of Liberty bonds. Clark at once began selecting chair- men for the 25 committees, one to each trade, and called them together today. Despite the holiday, he ex- pected to have the drive started by nightfall. He informed the trust com- pany that he would be “off duty” four days, by the end of which time he plans to have obtained the neces- sary subscriptions.
