No matter how danger- ous his task, or how self-sacrific- ing the deed, the reporter of newspaper invariably is a to duty. This is essentially the theme of “Let er Go, Gallegher!” the Rich- ard Harding Davis narrative of|; newspaper life in which a bright} office boy plays the stellar part ajy slave Junior Coghlan, who was featured in “The Ceountry Doctor,” “The! | PALACE SUNDAY Yankee Clipper” and “A Harp in|8#——7ip—————0 Hock,” is seen in the title role,| «Bare Kne A6 Libhe Balaie and Harrison Ford is cast as a re-| porter, around whom the love in- terest centers. Their portrayals, it is said, are excellent. Supervised by Ralph Block, as-! sociate producer at the De Mille Studio, and prepared for the ereen by Elliott Clawson, also a promi-j nent mewspaper man, “Let ’er Go, Gallegher!” is ome of the most exact stories of “the fourth estate” ever filmed. It will be shown at the Coliseum tonight. Elmer Clif- ton, whe directed “The Wreck of the Hesperus,” was the director. Elinor Fair, Ivan Lebedeff and Wade Boteler are included in the cast of supporting players. o | “HELEN OF TROY” IS | AT PALACE TONIGHT | “The Private Life of Helen of Troy” will be shown at the Pal- ace for the last two times to- night. The entire story is satirical in theme and treatment. The picture does not end with the hero and heroine in conventional embrace. The embraces of this pair are de- cided unconventional, inasmuch as both happer to hw e mates ngf in- volved in their affair, and long before the picture ends they grow exceedingly weary of the other’s presence. Indeed, the famous characters of mythology, Helen, Paris and Mene- laos, are made quite human and bedecked with thoroughly familiar faults and wegknessea and COn-|hers entitled “A Musical Bug ceits.

Maria Corda, Lewis Stone and Ricardo Cortez are the ‘three prin- cipal roles of Helen, Menelaos and Paris. The unusually large sup- porting cast includes George Faw-| cett, Mario Carillo, Alice White, Tom O'Brien, Bert Srottte, Gus Partos and many others. - | “DRESS PARADE” AT | COLISEUM TOMORROW .

The ex- ponent of the modern girl in this picture is Virginia Lee Corbin and she is a composite picture of every that John Held, Jr., ever Miss Corbin not only looks the part but she is the flapper to the life. Seldom has such a soul-satisfying bit of acfThg been presented on the screen in these parts. The picture starts with some de- licious comedy showing the effect modern girl on the average small town.
