The world's most charm- ing actress in a role worthy of her great artistry and talent. Mary as a little Prench spitfire, gay, efferves- cent, bewildering — a creaturz of whims and fancies. A new Pickford to storm the citadel of your heart.

The football scenes i par- ticular are realistic and thrilling. An added attraction on tomor- Tow's program will be “Back Field Play,” a short football picture from the All-America Sports Series, for which the management of the Cap- itol theatre has just contracted with Christy Walsh, - producer of the series. “Back!Field Play” was shot at the University of Notre |Dame, near South Bend, Ind. It shows this year's Notre Dame foot- . ball team exemplifying back field | plays. Hunk Anderson, Notre Dame jeoach, tells how Notre Dame has ibuilt many of its back field com- | binations. Harum-skarum Girl ! In. “Kiki” Miss. Pickfcrd' cnacts ’the title role. Kiki represents a | harum-scarum, gamin-like imp, who aspires to be a great lady, a great actress, and to win the heart of the manager of the company in | which she has a small part. This outline of the part is but the ibarest indication, a slight sketch {of the full-length portrait of Kiki that Miss Pickford has added to \her gallery of charming heroines. | The famous play, as adapted by |Sam Taylor, celebrated as a screen | writer and director, is a vehicle for 1laughher. No matter how serious ‘the situation may be for the char- !acters invelved, the complications| |and the dialogue as well, are al- | ways funny to the audience. | True Test of Comedy | The play stands the true test of |light comedy in that the situations {and comic relief are sustained by |a solid groundwork of dramatic in- |cident, through which the heart jxnberesv. runs as a gleaming thread. | The settngs, comprising among | others, a theatre stage and a mag- |nificent private apartment, are luxuriously and lavishly produced | from original designs by Willlam ‘Cameron Menzies, the supervising A well balanced cast of distin- guished players has been assembled by Miss Pickford and Director Tay- llor. It is headed by the popular Reginald Denny. Among the others are Joseph <Cawthorn, Margaret Livingston, Phil Tead, Fred Wat- fson and Edwin Maxwell e — NOTICE TO CREDITORS Having been confirmed” as the 'executor of the last will and testa- !ment of James Russell, deceased, by order admitting sald will to probate, issued out of the Probaté | Court of Juneas Precinct, ‘Terrls |tory of Alaska, on the 23d day of | November; 1931, -all persons having [‘claims against the estate of the |said decedent are hereby notified *Lo present them, duly verified as by law required, within six months from the date of said order, to GOLISEUM HAS™® {QUEEN HIGH AND fRIGHTlU LOVE’ Ruth Chatterton in Triple Role Will Be Seen Tomorrow “Queen High," featuring Stanley Bmith, Ginger Rogers, Charlie Ruggles and Frank Morgan, will be shown only at the regular per- formances tonight at the Coliseum theatre. “The Right To Leve" starring Ruth Chatterton, will headline the new program tomorrow, reguldr performances beginning at the matinee tomorrow afterncon.

In its audible celluloid form it retains all the sure-for-laughs craftsmanship of the photoplay producers, and all the original wit of ' the' basic piece ,“A Pair of Sixes,” the farce comedy by Ed- ward H. ‘Peples which started it all. Partners Can’t Agrse Ruggles and Morgan are the partners in a garter-producing business who know how to support ladies garments with their wares but do not know how to support each other's opinions with any degree of pacifism. i After many fights their lawyer suggests that they each draw a hand of poker to decide who will be the other’s butler. Ruggles loses, and thereafter is the man- servant in the home of Morgan. Laugh Follows Laugh Laugh - follows laugh as humorous situations - pile up swift tempo. But the Tuckless Ruggles learns a way to end all of Morgan's lordly ordering about. He makes up to his “master’s” wife. That fetches the in the indignant Morgan. In fact 1tK nearly drives him cuckoo. The finale is good for prolonged laughter. In “The Right To Love” a “triple characterization,” the first to be portrayed by one player in the history of the screen, is en- acted by Miss Chatterton. ‘This intriguing drama of roman- tic sacrifice through three gener- ations, is a dialogue picturization of Susan Glaspell's book, “Brovk ) Evans.” Girl, Mother and Daughter Miss Chatterton plays the roles of a young girl of 1890, the same character as the mother in 1907, and the part of the modern daugh- er, Many dramatic scenes between the mother and daughter are kandled by Miss Chatterton fn what she terms her most interest- I “The Right to Love” is the FIRST Picture Ever Filmed with the Marvelous New System of Noiseless Recording!
