PAIACE 7:15—9:15 TONIGHT and THURSDAY News Comedy HOOT GIBSON “Wild West Show” The big tops down— look out for the ani- mals—A eircus cy- COMING “WON IN THE CLOUDS” . Attractions i At Theatres | | HOOT GIBSON NOW | SHOWING AT PALACE | |1 1 A breath-taking, hair-raising, cross-country horse race—love and comedy and pathos—are a few of| the outstanding features of “The| Wild West Show,” the Universal| production starring Hoot Gil | which opened at the Palace theatre | last night for a three-day run. | With Hoot, the rough-riding fav-! orite of the screen, as the star one| may be assured of a picture that) is crowded with thrills, for this in, itself is sufficient guarantee of sec- ing action in regular he-man fash-| ion. | Hoot plays. the role of a hard- boiled buckarco who must start ac- tlon where things seem peaceful and‘ he does that aplenty. ~When he started things at a small town cir-| cus and then later joined it to| work for the girl he loves, he docs some of the best comedy of his career on the screen. His side kick, Monte Montague, as a Cir clown, does his share to keep th audience in a continual uproar. In dainty and petite Dorothy Gulliver, Hoot has been given a leading lady whose work is certai t0 meet with the approval of anj movie fan. lr “HEART! N DIXIE” IS | ALL-SINGING, TALKING - st The speaking screen is seeing | significant developmer.; as the mo- | tion picture and stage are brought still closer together through a a merging of their respective tech- | nique. One fully expects to find| extraordinary contributions to the new art of the “talkies,” but one| does not always expect to find| such a totally new note in enter- tainment as that afforded by the Fox Movietone production “Hearts in Dixie.” At the Coliseum Theatre last night this all-talking picture— and all-singing, all-dancing production it might be termed, also—was given its local premiere before an audi- ence which before the final song, was expressing its enthusiasm. Fox Movietone has taken a story of Dixieland, with its cotton fizlds, | steamboats, levees and other atmos- pheric properties and used it to knit together an amazingly generous | number of performances by ‘some | two hundred singers, dancers and actors. ANl of which is saying “Hearts in Dixie” is a novelty which has no | precedent. Again, as with the first | outdoor talking feature, “In Old Arizona,” Fox Movietong is pioneer- ing in the “talkie” field. It would Ke unfair to reveal the originality of “Hearts in Dixie” and to give away the points of absorbing inter- est that are in it. g ———————— =] | “WON IN THE CLOUDS” | | IS COMING TO PALACE | Al Johnson, who has been seen in numerous airplane thrill pic- tures, worked as technical advisor with Director Bruce Mitchell during the filming of “Won in the Clouds” the Universal air film starring Al Wilson which comes to the Palace theatre Friday. Practically all of the flyers in “won in the Clouds” are veteran pilots and most of them have seen cervice in the army. The support- idg cast of flyers is headed by Ar- thur C. Goebel, winner of the Dole trans-Pacific air race, with Frank Tommick, Roy Wilson, Ivan Unger and Red Sly in promifent roles. Helen Foster plays the feminine lead opposite the popular Al Wilson.
