The secondary romance involves Geor Carpentier, cast as a contender for heat ight championship, d Sally O'Nefi. Also in the cast are Bert Roach, Dorothy Jack Curtis, Tony Stabenau and others.

NEW “Bulldog Drummond” in Ken- neth MacKenna comes to the Fox ‘Theater Saturday as the feature for next week in the Fox Movietone pro- duction of H. C. McNeile's novel “Temple Tower,” which is sald to have all of the thrills, laughter and “chills” of preceding “Drummond” stories that have reached the screen. Mr. MacKen- na, who will be remembered for his work in “Men Without Women” and “South Sea Rose,” is a player from the legitimate theater, having a consider- able reputation before turning to the talking pictures. The picture, directed by Donald Gal- lagher, has a strong cast includin Marceline Day, Henry B. Walthal, Cyri Chadwick and Ivan Linow. The story is a mystery melodrama of such & type that advance information would not add to the enjoyment of seeing it. The stage program will present the Fanchon and Marco revue, “Art in ‘Taps,” featuring, in addition to Alex- ander Callum, master of ceremonies, Red Donahue and Pal, in a comedy of errors; Rodney and Gould, Earl Knapp, Jean McDonald, Brown and Willa, Al and Hal and Eddie Lewis. The Fox Orchestra and the Fox Movietone News will be important additions. Earle’s New Feature “The Light of Western Stars.” “Tn LIGHT OF WESTERN STARS,” Zane Grey's great action romance, comes to Warner Bros.’ Earle Theater for the week beginning Friday. It has been adapted into a powerful outdoor Western drama, with Richard Arlen at the head of a fine cast. This is the first Zane Grey produc- tlon to be made into a talking picture, with two great themes of love and ven- | geance. It moves rapidly from climax to climax and is filled with thrills and suspense. | _With Arlen in prominent roles are Mary Brian, Fred Kohler, Regis Toomey, Harry Green, Willlam Le Maire, George Chandler and Guy Oliver. The story concerns a young rancher { who sought out the slayer of his best friend and brought him to justice, at the sarre fime winning’ the love of the sister of the killer’s victim in a decid- edly unusual romance. A stampede of wild horses is one of the many big features and there are fights galore, with not a little cowboy comedy. Also on the h&e'b ‘The ning Star-Universal Newsreel, with g{wlhlm McNamee newscasting for the “King of Jasz” | Coming to the Rialto. THE Rialto Theater tomorrow opens its new week with a special en- gagement of the much-talked-of “King of Jazz,” in which Paul Whiteman and his band play a prominent part. This is claimed to be most costly venture yet taken in color, talking and singing pictures. The making of the picture was started one year ago and the production was finished so recently that the THE EVENING Rialto t came direct from the coast vis af John Murray Anderson, who has some 300 rgeous stage creations to cmfl{.o directed the picture and he was given a free rein and al the money he needed. So he allowed his creative genius to take its course. ‘The dramatization of George Gersh- win’s “Rhapsody in Blue” is one of the outstanding numbers. bably the most expensive number is “My Bridal Veil” in which 500 yards of gold webb lace were used. Jeanette Loff and Stanley Smith are featured in this number. The most fantastic number is the story, in color and music, of the origin of jazz. Stars seen and_heard in “King of Jazz” are John Boles, Jeanette Loff, Stanley Smith, Billy Kent, Merna Ken- nedy, Grace Hayes, Kathryn Crawford, the ‘Sisters G, Al Norman, Charles Irwin, the Brox Sisters, the Rhythm Paul Howard, George Chiles, , Jaques Cartier, Wilbur Hall, Nell O'Day and the Russell Market dancers.: The big numbers are “Bench in the Park,” “My Bridal Veil,” “It Happened in Monterey,” “Happy Feet,” “My Raga- muffin Romeo,” “Song of the Dawn.” “I Like to Do Things for You,” “Music Has Charms” and “My Lover.” A special Mother's day short featurette, The Evening Star Universal Newspeper newsreel and numbers by the Rialto Orchestra complete the bill. Loew's Palace Announces “Buddy” Rogers in “Young Eagles.” CHARLE (BUDDY) ROGERS will appear at Loew's Palace, begin- ning Saturday, in the Paramount pic- ture, “Young Eagles.” Willlam Well- man, director of “Wings,” also directed this new air epic, and Jean Arthur and Paul Lukas appear in the sup- porting cast. ‘The story concerns a young aviator who falls in love with™ a beautiful American girl while on leave in Paris. Later he brings in an enemy ace to be questioned by the intelligence division, and then the girl vanishes with the enemy aviator. The young officer loses interest in life and later, in wounding his former enemy of the air, he is himself shot down. He then learns from his superior officer that the girl is one of the cleverest American spies, who had used the ruse of helping the enemy in order to get into his lines. After the Armistice they are married. The picture is notable for the same sort of air photography which made “Wings” a tremendous hit. ‘Teddy Joyce, “joy boy of limber leg feme,” Teturns as master of ceremonies with “All Aboard,” the Loew produc- tion from the Capitol Theater, New York, featuring Seed and Austin, “‘a dou- ble dose of laughing gas”; Four Emper- ors of Harmony, famous jubilee singers; Josephine Davis, a stuttering song comedienne, and a ballet of Chester Hale Girls.
