This picture embraces the dramatic ne de- picted by Longfellow’s lines: This -incident, in which the “skipper and his little daughter” of the poem are principals, comes as one of the most dramatic points of the wreck, as visualized by ‘Harry Carr and John Farrow in their addptation of the ballad. Tossed by the storm, her main- mast gone, her sails ripped to shreds, a floating mass of wreck- age, the Hesperus was driven to- ward the menacing rocks of Nor- man's Woe. The “skipper” in a last desperate effort fo save his daughter, lashed her to the mast. The important role of the skip- per is portrayed by Sam DeGrasse, while Virginia Bradford is seen as the daughter. Others prominent in an unusually well balanced cast are Alan Hale, Frank Marion, Francis Ford, BEthel- Wales, Jose- phine Norman, James Aldine and |&% Milton Holmes. b2 \ i | “ON ZE BOULEVARD” IS | { AT PALACE TONIGHT | » Dreams of giory and riches have ruined better men than Gaston Pasqual—but they have seldom spolled a better waiter. To him, a grey top-hat, cocked at a rakish angle, was a symbol of elégance;” the ‘distinguishing mark of a gen an of fashion, some- thing . absolutely necessary to be- come ‘a gay boulevardier. How he realized his dreams of gratideur, his transformation into an ‘“elegant,” a ‘“Symphonie in Grey,” forms the plot of “On Ze Boulevard,” the most amusing film which' has ever been presented in the Pallace Theatre. You can see In those comical -scéhes Lew Cbdy, who plays the] waiter; Renee Adoree, who is ith heroine; Dorothy Sébastian, whos flirtations bring on disaster, and Roy D’Arcy, as the villain. '“On Ze Boulevard” opens at the Palace tonight fof a two-day run. | FBRIEF FAGTS ABOUT 'fi{ MARY'S NEW MOVIE | artist, in her new screenfeature, “Litfle Anmie, Rooney,” a Unit ‘Artists (Corporation reledse eom next Thursday 46 the “Coliseiim fheatre, has stepped out of thel tostume drama role and back int theragamuftin, hoydenish, comed. characterization that so endeared;| ther to the public and won her the! title of “The World's Sweethedrt.” The -scenes of “Little Annie Rooney” for the most part are laid in the teeming lower East Side district of New York City, and the famous old Brooklyn Bridge has an important role.

There are also many animals—dogs and cats, a goat, a pig and a con- ple of horses. Lower East Side New York streets and districts faithfully are reproduced in the picture. There are streets and areaways littered with old tin cans and all sorts of rubbish. a2 [T“UNITED STATES SMITH" | | 18 AT PALACE THUISDAY | © £ Blong! The bell! Twenty thou- sand pairy of eyes, shrouded in 33| blackness, strained to that small, brilliantly-lit centér of the gigdn- tic arena. Twenty thousand hearts beating furiously twenty thousand throats disgorging strangled bursts of exeitement, enthustasni, Ferce joy, the love of personal com- bat. And in that small white gpot—a square, raised platform, the calcium lights beating inexor- ably down—heave and struggle two white bodied giants. Straining, lashing out with the quickness of snakes, circling each other warily, lithely-—then a flurry of gloves, a flash of crimson blood spurting on a white face. ‘The fight is on! Ot such stuff is' the elimax of that gripping Gotham drama, “United States Smith” composed. This picture, which comes to the Palace Thursday for a threeday rin, heralded widely in other cities and from Hollywood, more than lives up to its promise. It is 4 smashing melodrama, pathetic in Ways with an undercurrent of tragedy and the realities of life. 8.

VESSELS (Feature Service Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Jan. 29.—There'll never be another Tex ltxskunl That's the gloomy by-word of sportsdom. None is any more pcwnmmlu about it than the board of directa of Madison Square Garden, whexa the inimitable Tex maintained hiq boxing headquarters. With a many million dollar cor- poration on their hands, and with G en ‘officials the its nucleus, {lection of a successor to the ter promoter promptly. Out beyond the confines of the { dictorate the wotrld of sports awaits with tense eagerness while' the field is scanned for material to carry on in the big things that Rickard planned and did. The presidency an: general man- agership of the gigantic sports con- cern may be left with a man chos en from within the Garden direc torate. Here in New York are some men identified with the sports who have gained attention in major promotion, perhaps as much atten- tion as could be expected in the day when Rickard dominated the field with his genius for staging,| hete and ~elsewhere, stupendous| boxing shows. There is Colonel John S. Ham- mond, now acting president, the fman who breught major league hockey to New -York, instant success, of the Garden corporation. There is John H. Chapman, who!| is to the bicycle racing world what | Hammond is to eastern hockey and what Rickard was to boxing. Another is Humbert 'J. Fugazy, long rated as Rickard's only rival in the metropolitan area, a man who struggled along as a boxing prémoter, accepting mediocre suc-| cess as a part of the ill luck or having to compete with Tex Rick- ard. Jack Dempsey, without whom Rickard might never have reached the heights he did, was mentioned as a possible successor, but Jack discouraged this first. a Wall Street broker and a vice- president of the Garden, and his chances of being vacant post. Carey was closely assoclated with Rickard in nmnlng the Garden. It is a situation that may remam‘ unchanged for weeks, possibly months. Regardless, it is a “show me” attitude the masses have taken in this business of try- ing to pick someone to take Tex Rickard’s place. ————————— Dell E.
