Hokum, -but honest ho- kum, that tingles down your spine and up again, and makes you for- get yourself so completely that you come out of the theatre as you might make your exit from a hur- ricane. > +Antonio Moreno adds to his previ- ous scenes of fiery Spanish love, the dash and verve of the adven- turer, for he is cast as a million- aire who joins the fortunes of the king of rum-runners for the ex- citement the life offers. Engaged in transporting liguor from Van- couver to Los Angeles, he encoun- ters some of the wildest goings-on that the screen has ever registered. i Helene Costello is seen as an ap- parently unsophisticated girl whose business is to track down the bond robbers who are also on the rum- special. It is a foregone conclu- sion that she meets Moreno. Myrna Loy auguments her fame as the “Girl From Chicago” and “State Street Sadie” in another part of the same calibre. “The Midnight Taxi” is at the Coliseum. “PATENT LEATHEK KID” | AT PALACE LAST TIME U. 8. Regulars and the boys of University of Washington's R. O. T. C. discovered a fine sport for a bright afterncon at Camp Lewis, Washington, while making war scenes for First National's “The Patent Leather Kid,” at the Palace for the last two times tonight. You run across a field planted with mines which explode all about you. If close enough to one of these explosive shells to be thrown off your feet, you try to lay perfectly still while a huge tank rolls by, perhaps brushing the sleeve of your coat. ‘When you consider that the field is thick with oke and that the tank ‘driver cannot see where he is By .ot stone and powder burns. going, it becomes a thrilling sport. This was the experience, how- ever of the men engaged in making battle scenes for “The Patent Leather Kid,' an Alfred Santell pro- | duction under the production man- |agement of Al Rockett. The pic- ture stars Richard Barthelraess. Although the scenes were made (time and again, not a single man was seriously injured. Minor cas- ualties were caused by flying bits One youth who lay directly over a mine when it exploded, suffered a few burns on his back, but he stuck it out until the scepe ended. '~ GHETTO LIFE FEATURE | | I8 COMING TO PALACE | H Suppressed emotlons, genuine bii- mor, joy and grief with and with- out tears—the entire gamut of hu- man emotions are brought to the screen in “A Harp in. Hock,” by' one of the oldest and one of the youngest motion .picture personali- ties in the industry. ' Rudolph Schildkraut and Junior Coghlan, respectively, are seen in great roles in this Renaud Hoffman produc- tion which far outclasses anything they have cver done before:. Schildkraut, ‘whose startling vivid performance in “His “People” at- tracted the attention of the world, by his work in “The Country Doc- tor”: reveals again a charaeter de- lineation so delicately human and artistic that it will' live leng after the name of the production is for- gotten. ' Junior Coghlan is a little freckl:- faced discovery of Cecil B. De- Mille. This feature is at the Palace tomorrow.
