In the sup- ! porting cast are Phyllis Haver and James Murray. Phyllis, late for a show. | a locomotive on which Cheney is the engineer and his son, Murray, the fire- | man. The girl and the boy bscome | chummy and the girl even pegins to thaw out the old man in time. The old engineer loses one son in his efforts to keep the trains moving and his fam- ily turns against him. Added to this he loses his job and is transferred to the shop. His remaining son quits rail- roading. Then the levees give way along the Mississippi and the father and son again find themselves as the crew on a locomotive. They attempt the almost impossible, keep the trains running and save an entire village, in- cluding the pretty show girl and the dead son’s family. On the stage Hfl'ben Rawlinson wlll come to the front in “Over the Top,” Jack Partington production. Jul’mfly Burke, erstwhile screen star and vaude- ville headliner, is featured in the pres- entation. Doris Roche, the Bernie brothers, Don Rowan, the Tiffany Singers and the Palace Syncopators complete the cast. The Fox Movietone | News, the M-G-MNews, the Palace Or- chestra and Charles Gaige at the organ | will be the subsidiary attractions. | FOX—"Pleasure Crazed.” | Another of the all-talking Fox Movie- | tone productions, ‘“Pleasure zed,” will be the attraction at the local Fox ‘Theater next week. Described as a so- ciety drama, the story concerns a young wife married to an attractive man of wealth and social position and, having everything a woman coul desire, is still not satisfled, but carries on a love affalr which soon becomes known to her husband. He attempts to break it up by taking her for a long voyage 1un as the lover again appears. From thi groundwork is deve!oped a highly drl- mstlcc story with a climax having a new twist, Featured in the cast are Dorothy Burgess, who portrays an American so- city woman; Marguerite Churchill, an- other stage player who recently ap- peared with Paul Munl “The Valiant.” and Kenneth MacKenna, also an actor from the stage, who Pl-ys the male lead. Others are Campbell Gullan, Douglas Gilmore, Henry Kolker, Fred- hides aboard erick Graham and Rex Bell. The pro-| | duction was directed by Donald Gal-| laher from the play by Monckton HofTe. | The now 16 gorgeous Foxettes and | John Irving Fisher will be featured in | the stage program, with Leon Brusiloft and his 40 Jazzmanians and other en- tertainers. Fox Movietone News will be a high-light of the program. EARLE—"The Leatherneck.” Fastidious movie fans who like va-| riety in their motion picture entertain- ment are expected to find much to {amuse them in_ “The Leatherneck," William Boyd's latest Pathe picture. which will be presented at the Earle Theater for a week, beginning with the midnight premiere Friday of this week. Itisa story of the activitles of the ited States Marines and takes its | idience to Russla ana Chin. William Boyd, Alan Hale and Rob- ert Armstrong are seen as the “Three Musketeers” of the Marines, typical of the men of this branch of the service in_appearance.

C. dramatic, with numerous scenes of heart interest and fine appeal. COLUMBIA—"Evangeline.” Dolores Del Rio in “Evangeline” re- mains at Loew's Columbia for a second eek. Longfellow's immortai love epic has made an unmistakable hit on the screen. In this production, one of the largest made in several years, Miss Del Rio is heard singing for the first time. The poem has been carefully followed. The picture tells the story of the simple Acadian folks, who, unwilling to bear arms against their native land, are de- ported to various parts of the New World. Evangeline and her betrothed are separated in the mad rush of the departure. Evangeline begins to search for him and, although their paths cross quite often, they never quite come to- gether. Finally Evangeline, now a sis- ter of mercy, finds him in a Philadel- phia hospital, where she sings tv him their love songs of ‘old and he dies in her arms. The production is synch- ronized. Al Wohlman and the Revelers will be presented in Metrotone acts, and the Fox Movietone News, the M-G-M News | and the Columbia Orchestra complete the program.
