The story is 4 Fred Myton, the scenario by Rob- ert Lord and the direction by Ray Enright. “Kid Gloves” is a meclodrama of the underworld, with Conrad Nagel in the title role playing the part of a hi-jacker. He is in the heat of a gun-battle with members of a rival gang when a taxi is driven into the midst of the fray. The driver stops, erouches behind the cab, as one of his two passengoers slides out, and runs for his life. The interesting part of the case comes from the fact that on the floor of the cab, unconscious, lies a ! lovely young society girl. I It is when the driver whisks the | girl into the nearby apartment of | a shop-lifting lady friend, that the | story really begins, for soon, over | the window sill, “Kid Gloves”| leaps, with astonishing agility and proceeds to help restore the lady | to consciousness. | The fiance of the girl, a wealthy and crooked political leader, has, been having the girl shadowed, thinking she is acting strangely, and now the spy, who has seen the auto episode, hastens to the boss with the story. Tne big boss ar- rives, and finding Kid Gloves and the lady together, thinks they are lovers and calling a justice, forces them to marry! This is only the be- ginning. £ a2 | COLLEEN MOORE IS AT PALACE 7TUESDAY *He lelt a Montana ranch because | he wanted to live a hustling, bust- ling city life in Hollywood.

Suddenly he switched ¢ e confession, clalming no mitigation. His attorneys seemed not to know what had motivated this remark- able change of front. Bven as it was, Stephenson faced considerable difficulty explaining how He came to be helping three convicts to es- ) cape. His ease was bad enough. Nobody could understand why he chose to make it worse—make it, in fact, well-night hopeless. It the young deputy’s counsel knew why he chose to ‘take his medicine” they protected him. Re- porters at the jail found him sflent and. morose, whereas he formerly had been quite talkative, even op- timistic. In another cell of the same jail Mrs. Jenkins also had nothing to say. She malntained she’d told her story. There was nothing to be done now except pass sentence. Stephen- son stuck t, his amazing plea. He was told that a life sentence was virtually certain. “I know it” he nodded. “But I've acted and it's final.” Just why he did so may never be known, at the Pribilofs as in the! ticularly destructive In the .interven- |discrimination to so slaughter and the herd strictly -'l‘Uni!(‘d States crnment venture, based on in- puilding up the herd ternational agreement with Japan, |of seals is allowed except by gov- and Great Britain to stem'ernment agents and native Indiar wholesale destruction of the who depend,upon the animals for purchased from | STARTING TUESDAY COLIS IMERICAN LEGION UM WELCOM!
