GIRLS, CHECK YOURSELF | | BY THESE SCREEN RULES Here are 10 rules that Al'an Dwan, ' motion picture - diréctor, lays down by which,“he &ays, ihe finest type of womanhood may be judged. Dwan, who has become famous for his choice of heroines for pic tures, has now revealed the se- cret of his judgment, which h oxercised most ‘recently in Seloc! ing Florence Vidor for the chief feminine Tole in his new Para- mount melodrama, “Sea Horse! which comes to. the Coliseum night. He always judges character by these 10 rules, which, he asserts, may be .applied on Main Street as well as in the movie studios. Dwan declares the ideal hercinz for the American public during the year 1928 must be: 1. Wholesome and physically. 2. Stricily American. 3. Honest.” " Cléver subterfuges will not be countenanced. 4. Decent. Women of -ecasy morals can never become r heroines in the minds of Ameti cans. 5. Intelligent. fi Not too brilliant. gfi?n:vmmn. L7 »Co 8 an. “'[’he “possession of humnm es .

Also occupying a feature posi- o on ‘the program at the Col:- seiy ‘fohight, 'is “Better Moyles,” «the newest of Hal Roach's “Qur Gang” Pathecomedies. In ‘it Mh:liey Daniels is seen as the di- rector ‘of 'an old-fashioned movic thriller, which they decide (o make when they find a real sce- narip and a deserted studio. When a rich boy turns up with a movie camera, they are able to make a real movle and charge admission to the old barn to see the- movping picksher on earth. 10~ a .woman's attractiy No one and, broad- gmez(_ | Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer picture star- ring John Gilbert, which will play at the Palace Theatre tonight.

Authors now realize that the piéturization of a book instead of harming its sale increases it to a very high degree. | “POKER FACES” AT PALACE ON SUNDAY | is Learn to laugh. This is a laugh-age and every- thing from books to motion pic- tures is combining to make peo- ple forget their worries and give them a happier outlook on life. “Poker Faces,” the feature com- ing to the Palace Theafre on Sun- day is well calculated to do more than 1ts share toward this end. Laura La Plante and Edward Ev- erett Horton have combined un- der the direction of Harry Pol- lard to give what is predicted to he one of the greatest comedy hits <of . the season. H. C. Witwer, Ring Lardner, George Alle and Stephen Leacock are tapping humor into their typewriters, song writers are ox- horting the public to smile, and the great screen comedians and their directors are making laughs of everything for the photoplays. “Poker Faces” is from the pe1 of Bdgar Franklin and is one of the most enjoyable of the works in %his lighter vein* Why worry when “Poker Faces” is coming to town? The story is ‘of the amusing mixup of a newly marrfed coupte. the hushand’s employer and his prospective customer whom he s trying to entertain. The supporting cast of this pic- ture includes George Seigmann, Tom Ricketts, Tom O'Brien, Dor- othy Revier and Leon Holmes. — e+ e Fada Radip Sets and accessor- les, Columbla Fhonographs and records.
