W ) - MYSTERY FEATURE COMING TO PALACE “The Gorilia,” Broadway mystery comedy sensation by Ralph Spence has been made into a motion pic- ture with Charlie Murray and Fred Kelsey in the roles of the two fa- mous, but dumb, detectives, Mulli- zan and Garrity. Those who saw and enjoyed the play have an idea of what is in store for them when this mystery-comedy comes to the Palace for three nights, starting to- MOrrow. The others, who will view it for | the first time, are warned to expect the greatest laughfest of the sea- {son.

William Cameron Menzies laid ut and supervised the building of “Batville” from ideas evolved by {West and his technical staff. The huge sets were forbidden ground to everybody except members of | West’s company. | Julien Josephson, who wrote the en adaptation, followed the gen- eral plot of the play, but added many complications that were im- possible to bring out behind the footlights. West directed his own production, which has been released by United Artists, through arrangement with Joseph M. Schenck, chairman of the corporation’s directorate.

MI COLLETT PLAYING BETTER THAN EVER Miss Glenna Collet's feat in advancing to the finals of the British women's golf championship, the first time a player from the United States has gone so far in the competition, suggests that she may be expected to break another record by winning the women's championship of the United States for the fourth time in competition at Birming- ham, Mich., next autumn, The Providence girl will return from Scotland with a record of 34 strokes for the first nine holes at St. Andrews, eight fours and a two, a mark which probably will itand up against many assaults. In winning the United States championship for the third time at| Virginia Hot Springs last year, Miss Collett made a new record by the 13-12 victory she scored in the final. But she did not cover the first nine holes of the Cascades course—or any other nine in 34. Her score for the nine was 36—but what a difference two strokes can make. In marching on to victory in Virginia she was in danger of elimi- nation only once in the third round, when she had to play some great golf to defeat Miss Virginia Wilson, Chicago, three and two. In the final, scheduled for 36 holes, Miss Virginia Van Wie, another star woman golfer from the west, could win only one hole and was 10 down after the first 18 holes. BATTING LEADERS OF YESTERYEAR TIMID NOW Individual champions in baseball find it as hard to defend their crowns as the title holders in other sports, such as golf and boxing. Rogers Hornsby and Leon (Goose) Goslin, who led the American and National leagues in batting this year, are not among the leaders with the season six weeks under way. While two monarchs of the swat have both been under .300 at times, Barney Friberg of the Phillies and Willie Kamm of the White Sox advanced beyond .400. Kamm has batted .300 for a full season, but his amazing destruction of opposing pitching this spring has surprised the neutral fans, shocked the anti-Sox and gratified the pro-Sox. Friberg has not batted .300 for a campaign in several years. ! BUCKY HARRIS' TIGERS HAVE SHO PUNCH Before the baseball season opened many close observers of base- ball said that the Detroit Tigers, under the new management of Bucky Harris, would be dangerous “if they can get the pitching.” The early season developmcnts have made the Jungaleers fairly dangerous, with or without the sharp shooting from the pitchers' mound. The Tigers may not have “pitchers,” but they have “a pitcher” in George Uhle, former Cleveland Indian, who stepped out to win games every time he started. If the well equipped Uhle gets some assistance from his fel- lows, Stanley Harris may have to be reckoned with without the “if.” 6.N.BROADCAST These Monday night programs, which are broadcast over a net- {work of thirty-seven stations, cated at all of the principal cities of the United States, have become exceedingly popular and are looked forward to each week by the mil- | veloped the habit of anticipating BE uN JUNE 3:1hn Great Northern hour every | Monday night and thereby learning On Monday, June 3, at 6:30 pm.|not only of the history of the Seattle time, which would make|Great Northern and the Pacific the time of. “listening in” at Alaska | Northwest, but of the attractions points 5:30 p.m. Juneau and north and history of many of the cities to Anchorage, at which place time |located in the Northwest. changes to 4:30 p.n., the Great| These radio pregrams are very Northern Railway will broadcast; attractive and entertaining and the throughout the Nation, a program |facts of history and other informa- devoted entirely to Alaska, its re- | tion are presented in a very novel sources, development and recrea-|and original manner which makes attractions, its history and|a very enjoyable half-hour and in- wonderful possibilities of future de- |stead of becoming tiresome, many velopment.
