This is the best at- tempt, so far as we know, to de- pict life in a metropolitan news- paper office. The moment chosen as the opening of the story is the “deadline”—when the paper must {go to press. The star reporter, Nosey Norton (played magnificently by young Grant Withers), is out on a double murder case. Just before the fa- tal moment he sends in a story to the effect that the murdered men were quarreling over a mys- terious blonde. The “blonde” is a |figment of Nosey's imagination— |but real blondes—two of them— lcome on the scene to take part in the war that the ingenious reporter has started. The big moment for Nosey and the paper is' when Anna Lou ar- rives to be trained in repertorial ’gets his own. Many unusual charac- ters and situations make “In the Headlines” both thrilling and amus- ing. The cast includes Marian Pauline Garon, Frank Campeau, Hallam Cooley, Vivian Oakland, Robert Ober, Ben Hall, Spec O'- Donnell and Jack Wise. The story is by James A. Starr, the scenario by Joseph Jackson, and John G. jAdolfi directed. The delightful | acting of the young principals adds much to the joy of the most de- lightfully human picture the year. of et 2 | “MISSISSIPPI GAMBLER” | | OPENS, PALACE TONIGHT | Lt wil All the world loves a romantic {rascal, especially if he turns out ,to be more romantic and not so (Such is the case with Joseph| Schildkraut as the star of “The Mississippi Gambler,” his latest {Universal all-talking feature screen- ed at the Palace tonight. “The Mississippi Gambler,” Jos- feph Schildkraut’s first appearance on the talking screen since the im- mortal “Show Boat,” was especially {written for the star to afford him ijevery possible opportunity for the romantic allure which he displayed s0 markedly in the previous super- i production.

LOVE WILL TELL TUESDAY Vitaphone Acts WHERE SOUND SOUNDS BEST COLISEUM THE 100 PER CE 'M““l i \m ll “ Es present I GRANT Schildkraut in the leading feminine role, and the unique cli- |max of the story gives her the est conceivable opportunity to dis- /play the remarkable ability which [ ritics have been astounded to dis- cover in a girl of eighteen. Schild- ut’s dark, classic handsomeness nd Miss Bennett's blonde loveli- ness, together with marvelous pho- tographic effects by Gilbert War- renton, make their love scenes to- gether possibly more appealing than anything hitherto brought to !the screen. An outstanding cast, including Carmelita Geraghty, Alec F. Fran- |cis, Otis Harlan, Billy Welsh and others support Schildkraut and Miss Behnett under the direction of Reginald Barker. " “THE GREAT DIVIDE” | COMING, COLISEUM “"Dorothy Mackaill, who gave such |an_admirable portrayal as the cir- cus performer in “The Barker,” will |be seen again in another ‘“hard- | boiled” role in “The Great Divide,” her new First National picture coming to the Coliseum soon. Miss Mackaill now plays an emancipated modern girl whose whoopee ideas of life clash with those of the man she both hates and loves. The blonde star has made a great success in her receni pictures in creating a new type of screen vamp —a girl whose bark is worse than her bite. She played such parts in “Hard to Get” and in “Two Weeks Off.” “The Great Divide” is an adapta- tion of William Vaughn Moody’s famous stage classic. The story is laid in the beautiful mountain country in Arizona, and the picture is embellished with striking scenic photography. Ian Keith is Miss Mackaill's lead- ing man. Others in the cast are Mpyrna Loy, who portrays one of her colorful dancing roles as a half-breed Spanish girl, Lucien Littlefield, ' Ben Hendicks, James Ford, Creighton Hale, George Faw- cett, Roy Stewart and Claude Gil= lingwater. “THE WAGON MASTER” :T ; COMING TO PALACE Ken Maynard will be seen in a different type of Western story when “The Wagon Master,” the first dialogue Western which comes to the Palace Theatre soon. “The Wagon Master,” Maynard’s first picture under his new long- term contract with Universal, pays tribute to a bold and daring type of men whose services have received little attention. These are the wagon freighters, who carried sup- plies to isolated mining camps and army posts in the days of the pio- neer West. “The Wagon Master” is replete with thrills. With the ald of his famous horse “Tarzan” Mannard performs riding stunts of the dar- ing brand that have placed him in the forefront of the ranks of west- ern stars. The long wagon trains give & colorful atmosphere to the picture, and there is no lack of romantic interest. Stirring dia- logue scenes and the rendition of cowboy scenes add greatly to the picture, As. “The Wagon Master” May- nard strives against great odds to break a freighting monopoly that is starving out the mining camps of the region. Simultaneously he wages war tp win the girl of his heart, portrayed by the beautiful and charming Edith Roberts. Al Perguson furnishes the men- ace of villainy, ably aided by oth- ers in the cast. Included in the cast are Frede- rick Dana, Tom Santschi, little Jackie Hanlon, Bobby Dunn, White Horse and Frank Rice. | l —THE COM Gasoline Tax Seen As Investment by U.S. Highway Head R el (Continuea irom Page One) those of 1529 shows the enormous | increase in the use of highways. | At the close of 1929 every state was collecting a gas tax which, to- gether with the tax collected in the District of Columbia, brought the total to $432,311,519 on 13,400,- 180,062 gallons of motor fuel.
