LAST TWO TIMES TONIGHT PALACE and many ot “THE HAWK’S NEST” A thrilling story from start to end. short comedy opens this show. Milton Sills, Doris Kenyon, Montague Love her stars in Weekly and Adm.—10-25-50, Attractions | || At Theatres l The habits of Giicntals who live | in their own quarters in American cities are always of interest to the | Occidental mind. San Francisco's Chinatown has always been a Mec- ca for tourists, and the same in New York, where Mott, Pell, Doyers and other streets are given over to the rabbit warrens and narrow doorways affected by the Celestials Such scenes afford much of the background for “The Hawk's Nest”, Milton Sills’ latest First National Picture which is now showing at the Palace Theatre. It is one of the best productions seen at the Palace for mONULS. Rival factions among the crooks of a big city, wherein the Chinese are involved, afford amazing glimp- ses into the strange underworld. Contrasting scenes show night clubs and private homes, gorgeous or stately as the case may be. Benjamin Christensen directed this picture which gives Sills a real- ly remarkable characterization in his role as the mysterious “Hawk” —a leader in the shadowy precincts. Doris Kenyon has the feminine leading role. Montague Love and others are in the all-star cast. & = Y STEALE { COLISEUM, TONIGHT | | & i | [ “Baby Stealers,” the EIks’ show, ' is at the Coliseum theatre tonight.

BIG FEATURE IS COMING TO PALACE Universal charac- ter star, plays one of the few sym- pathetic roles of his extensive ca- reer in “Alias the Deacon,” the Uni- versal-Jewel production which is billed as the feature attraction at ‘the Palace starting Tuesday. Hersholt’'s remarkable talents as an actor have enabled him to por- tray every concejvable type of role from light comedy to the most vil- lainous character possible. In this picture he portrays the role of a lovable, middle-aged itinerant who represents himself as a benign dea- con in order to cover his real pro- fession of gambling. The picture, a film version of the stage success, was directed by Edward Sloman. June Marlowe and Ralph Graves are in the cast. o5 | MAY M’AVOY COMING 1 | IN “STOLEN KISSES” | 2 P E:May McAvoy, the dainty star of ‘Warner Bros.' Vitaphone produc- tion, “Stolen Kisses,” which comes to the Coliseum Wednesday, is re- vealed as a pastmistress of light comedy, in this riotous play, which she is depicted as a misun- derstood bride who, though more sinned against than sinning, is plunged in a maze of complica- tions that for a time completely wreck her peace of mind. “In “Stolen Kisses” she is sup- ported by an exceptional cast which includes Reed Howes, Hallam Cool- ey, Claude Gillingwater, Arthur) Hoyt, Edna Murphy, Agnes aney,; and Phyllis Crane.

Although a Democrat until the 1928 presidential campaign, Dr. Brown classes himself an “inde- pendent” in politics and says Vi ginia has had too much of parti- san government. Bishop James Cannon jr., of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, who led the anti-Smith Democrats | in their break with the Democratic Payty last year, is watching the| campaign from Washington. He has not maintained a hands-off policy, however, advising the group | in advance to stay out of the pri- mary and name an independeu'i ticket for state offices. To the anti-Smith convention he sent a lengthy message urging war on “Raskobism” and State Demo- | cratic leaders who supported Al- fred E. Smith for President. The Democratic primary will be August 6. Leaders of opposing forces predict that the general elec- | tion will eclipse the record vote cast in 1928. Since the anti- | Smith and Republican forces, com- bincd with an unknown number of | Democrats who voted for Hoover candidate organization, polled 164,000 votes| in the general election last year 1o 140,000 for the Democratic party, | the Democrats must draw approxi- mately 12,000 votes to their stand- ard this year to retain control of | the state government. Democratic leaders do not expect to win “by the usual 50,000 ma- Jjority,” but they express confi- dence of ultimate victory through return of anti-Smith Democrats. e e—— Dcmocratic nomination, holds the ‘short ballot” not an issue, since the legislature may take the ap- pointive power from the Governor | after 1932 and make the offices| elcetive.
