(“West of Zanzibar,” a Metro- Goldwyn-Mayor production, syn- chronized with sound, and with a surrounding. sound program, in which Lon Chaney brings his strangest gifts of bizarre makeup and sinister mystery to the screen, and which opens tonight at the Palace theater, is so startlingly dif- ferent from the usual drama that it almost baffles description. Set in a surrounding of stark ferror, its dramatic story of a ter- rible revenge that, like a Franken- gtein, devours its creator, the play has elements never before seen on fhe screen. Weird and fantastic tites of voodoo devil-worshippers m the heart of an African jungle; {he strange spell of a sinister, para- Yyzed: “white voodoo” who, with tricks and illusions, rules tribes of superstitious and savage natives; grim chase through the Dark Continent on a relentless mission ot révenge; these are the dramatic thighlights against which a wonder- ull love story is told. } Chaney plays “Dead Legs Flint,” ormer stage magician, who, para- flyzed in a fight with the man who stole the love of his wife, sets out ;o trail him through the wilds jwhere his quarry has taken refug? las an ivory trader. Lionel Barry- mmore plays “Johnson,” the enemy fin the story, and Mary Nolan, who appears as the heroine, daughter of the revenge-crazed magacian, ‘Warner Baxter plays the renegade ?hysician. —_———— — L] UNCANNY TALKING FILM | NOW SHOWING, COLISEUM | @ ° ° | | ° A beautiful dark-haired girl and }a motley assortment of underworld {denizens, abetted by more spooky jsounds than were ever presented ibefore on the talking scren, were seen and heard at the Coliseum hheater last night when ‘‘Tne Hole !m the Wall” opened. y Claudette Colbert, as the slender beauty who turns criminal for re- jvenge upon a wealthy woman who ihad wronged her, was ravishingly !1ovely in spite of the dire status to' i which she had fallen in the play. }She played her role with supreme e Eugene Permanent Wave o Special Rate -~ $10.00 AMERICAN BEAUTY ; Watch For { “HIT THE .

The exotic beauty of the South Seas is brought to the screen in vivid manner in First National's “His Captive Woman” which comes to the Palace theater soon. Adapted from the Donn Byrne story, “Changeling,” this dramatic story has its locale in the night clubs of New York and on the dreamy islands of the South Seas. It is a George Fitzmaurice pro- duction in which Dorothy Mackaill and Milton Sills are co-featured. The company spent many weeks on the more remote islands of the Hawaiian group with only natives playing in support of the featured players. The story deals with a jazz-mad New York girl who in a fit of tem- per kills an admirer and flees to the South Seas'on a yacht of another JACKSGN AND " O'BRINE AR | STILL GOING | ST.
