PICKETT’ PALACE Last 2 Times Tonight METRO SPOTLIGHT John : Gilbert Flesh and the Devil 10-25-50-Loges 60 cents Coming—Friday and Sat- urday—Jack London’s Story “THE SEA WOLF” Attraciions At Theatres “LET'S GET MARRIED” AT COLISEUM TONIGHT If you had prom your best girl to. buckle down and work hard—and then, through circum- gtances of which you were entire- ly innocent, yon found yourself sentenced to thirty days “up the river"—how would you explain your predicament? Perhaps the most novel method ever used is the one Richard Dix appropriated in his latest farce, “Let's Get Married,” which comes to the Coliseum tonight. As his father is a manufacturer of hymn books, Richard hits on the easiest way out. A friend of his is about to go to the South Seas. Dix writes a series of letters to Mary telling her of his adventures among the cannibals. In glowing terms he describes their conversion and pictures them as throwing away their gin bottles for his hymnals. He gives the letters to his pal who is. ahout to leave, with ex- plicit instructions as when he is to mail them. That's one of the many funny asequences in “Let’'s Get Married.” Lois Wilson is the girl to whom the letters are addressed. d “FLESH AND THE DEVIL” | IS SHOWING AT PALACE | The .vivid drama of the master dramatist Sudermann; the master- ful portrayals of John Gilbert, Greta Garbo and Lars Hanson, a mighty triumvirate of the art of the screen—plus the direction of Clarence Brown, past master of cinema subtleties—these make “Flesh and the Devil.” The new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer masterpiece, now playing at the Palace Theatre, is a pieture unique in screen history. In the first place, it is. ope of the most tre- mendous dramas ever filmed—and in the second place, despite the driving power of its theme, it is puré entertainment. It fairly car. ries the audience back to Europe; the Europe of today, and among the people who work out one of the greatest problems of life in a4 manner so gripping, so astound. ing that it leaves the audience gasping. ‘!lL_ | [ IO e— P MONKEY COMEDY AT COLISEUM TONIGHT | ‘Stuart Holmes, he of the villain- ous . mustache and center, of many 8 dirty plot on the screem, once upon a time played in a picture in which Joe Martin, the famous trained monkey, was ome of the players. _ Joe taking a violent dis. like to the underhanded scheming o - the villainous Holmes, up and bit,| him, much to the actor's dis- cm!ort.

Furthermore, in addition to handling the. finan- cial and business end of a compli- cated venture such as the making of motion pictures, she personally stars in her own pictures and ranks as one of the foremost emo- tional actresses of the silver screen. Despite her soclal and activities, Mrs. Reid is and devoted mother to her two children, Wallace, Jr., and Betty, on whom she lavishes constant care and attention. Althongh Mrs. Reid has been producing feature pictures for the past few years she has not per- sonally appeared on the screen recently When “The Satin Wo- man” submitted to her in story she instantly decided that here was the character role she had been looking for. The reason for this being that Mrs. Reid is a firm believer in h all her pictures carry a mes or teach a lesson on some point. “The Satin Woman” is a sub- tle, though mnone the less pro- nounced play, showing the unhap- piness that may be caused by vanity in a woman. Although the picture lies on the verge of the spectacular, the real strength of it les in its powerful dramatic ap- peal to the emotions. TO SEARCH ALASKA FOR MISSING MAN; CASE IS UNUSUAL Search for thy Bothell, mysteriously business a fond form, ge vital Swan Johnson, weal- Wash., rancher who disappeared from his - home near S®attle several weeks ago, has been extended to Alaska, according to late advices received from Seattle. Prosecutor Ewing D. Colvin, of King County, has been working on the case and has been supervising sweeping investigations for some time. Deputies on the case, and friends and relatives of Johnson, are of the belief Johnson has met with foul play. John Johnson, Swan's brother, is an Alaskan miner, and is said by relatives to have sent more than $30,000 to Swan Johnson in Seattle for in. vestment during the past fifteen vears. * The torso of an unknown man was found near Bellevue last month, and scientific investiga- tions are being made by J. Ii. Wor- cester, professor of anatomy at the University of Washington in an attempt to identify it. Although Colvin has been informed the tor- 80 is that of a man younger than Johnson, who was more than 60 years old, the Prosecutor declared there were several facts connect- ed with the torso which were dove- tpiled with the disappearance of Johnson. “There are a dozen : startling facts connegted , with the case,” Colvin #s quoted as saying, “and I shall make every effort to solve the myslery of Johnson's disap- pearance.” HEALYS HAVE GIRL BABY .
