THis time Harold appears in his firsh* all-talking picture—Welcome Darfffer,” at the Coliseum Theatre. The: show opened there last night andf will likely run more than its alleted time, judging by the en- thuglastic reception tendered it. “Welcome Danger” is all that the titler impliés. It is plentifully sup< pliéd with chilling thrills. And Lloyd, of course, is all that his nanje implies—namely uproarious comedy. Lldyd never fails to produce the unique in his plot and in his situa- tiong, and here he does it again, and»how! L' the opening of the narrative we gee him as a young man, a resi- denf of Boston, who has a deep in- ter in botany and floriculture. His rfather, now deceased, had held high hopes that the lad would be a “ghip off the old block,” an iron fisf police chief and foe to the underworld such as, he himself was! in San Francisco. ' Since the father's demise the more crooked of *®hinatown’s underworld have beefl running wild in San Francisco and® friends of the late chief, in a last minute resort, wire Harold to éome west and take up the battle with the crooked politicians and Tong men.

The plot takes a new turn every other minute. There is a girl and her little crippled brother. There s a kindly old Chinese doctor. There is a white man who poses as a reformer but who is really a crook. ‘There is Lloyd swirling through it all in a great whirlwind of rollicking entertainment. The star’s volce is happily a fine one for the best purposes of the all-talking screen. It comes as a distinct addition to his former achievements in the realm of silent drama. He has surrounded him- self with a cast of capable talking actors. Heading the support is Barbara |Kent, good to look at. Others in the cast are Noah Young, Charles Middleton and William Walling. COHAN STAGE HIT IS AGAIN SHOWING ATPALACE TONIGHT y The ability of talking pictures to bring the greatest plays of the istage to the screen for all the world to see and hear is strikingly demonstrated at the Palace The- atre, where Richard Dix’s first Ra- dio starring film, “Seven Keys to Baldpate,” is now having its first local showing. As the stage play produced on Broadway by George M. Cohan, this fast moving melodramatic farce was deservedly popular. After playing in New York for an entire season, !it went on the road for another year, playing in the major cities of the country. And now Radio Pictures. through | the miracle of the talking screen, | presents “Seven Keys to Baldpate” /in a manner that makes it even + ¢+ 7 7 A quality you would insist upon if you knewall of the facts IF{IL‘t No. 39. Schilling is one extract maker for whom import- ers select a special kind of first grade vanilla beans. The pods are fairly bursting with Vanilla es- sence—so much so that it forms’in crystals on the outer surface. Cheaper grades (some of them al- most dry) and cuts (defective) are never used’ by Schilling. You can tell the difference by a very simple test. Pour a few drops of Schilling Vanilla into a half glass of milk. Do the same with sorme other Vanilla. Schilling’s has a delicate, delightful flavor. Some others havé aslight medicinal taste, Schilling Vanilla flavor is not so “fashy” a others—but it will never bake out nor freeze out. It has the delicaty and permancncyof'all good things.

Camel is an amazingly mild smoke. Yet it is never f‘nt-——x‘nver taste- less. All the mellow aroma of the choice tobaccos in the Camel blend is preserved and enhanced through every step of manufacture. There’s no over-processing with its resultant insipidity — no doctoring, for none is needed. Modern smokers have recognized the difference between mildness and flatness. They're swinging to Camels—choosing a cigarette that’s naturally mild—enjoying the real luxury of smoking. © 1930, R. J. Reyaclds Tobeoso Co., Winstoa-Selem, N. C,
