Corinne Griffith and Conway Tearle have the principal roles. Trust to Luck! Me a gambler! "Ciiis, the advice a mother gives he daughter In the Sam Wood Par: mount production of “The Next Cor- uer,” coming to the Palace theater on Thursday ,is exactly what the director did not do. Instead of relying on fickle fate, plans for thc picture were worked out with extraoidinary care. Conway Tearle, in a leading mas- culine role, has the part of Robert Maury, globe-trotting mining man who leaves his wife to the destinies of Paris for three years. Derothy Mackalll, former Follies beauty who is making her Hollywood debut in the production after notable appearances in stage and screen plays east, is the wife, Starting Sunday night Jackie Coo- gAn will begin a four-day run in “A Boy of Flanders.” GOOD VAUDEVILLE AT CAPITOL Tonight is the last showing of the present bill at the Capitol of five good acts that havd been very en- joyable to Capitol patrons and also the last showing of “Flowing Gold"” will take place tonight.
