COLLEGE DAYS LYGEUM FEATURE Mlso Harry Cargy in “Satan| Town” Opens Sunday Night | “College Days,” a great college | picture with thrills, youth, romance, | love and adventure and a great | football game enacted by a cast | which includes 25 umiversity var- sity football players for the grid- iron scenes, Marceline Day, Edna | Murphy, Pat Harmon, Charles D laney, James Harrison and other: opens tomorrow night at the Ly- ceum theater. On this same bill is another top notch feature, present ing Harry Carey in “Satin Town,’ in which this “Brete Hart” of the sereen appears as a hig-hearted, big-fisted Alaskan who comes to a town that's steeped in sin and there stakes a claim on the side of the law. The story of “College Days” holds Interest from the very begin- ning until the final fadeout and it has some of the prettiest girls and best looking boys on the screen. It tells the story of the advent of a typical up-to-date youngster who entered a co-ed college and at once his breeziness and attractiveness wins for him a host of friends — | mostly among the girls, Naturally he falls in love and the sweetly told story of.courtship, the many ohstacles he has to overcome, all fit into the perfectly adapted story. Incidentally, this picture was written by A. P. Younger, who adapted for the screen that famous story, “Brown of Harvard.” In “Satan Town” Harry Carey's part 1s that of Bill Scott, who works his way to the goldfields of Alaska so that he can give his carfare money to a little orphan child who has won s sympath WESTERN FILMAT THE NEW PALAGE “Unknown Cavalier” Introduces | Ken Maynard Here We have a new hero of the cow | country, A new vaquero to hang his | sombrero alongside the five-gallon | hats of Tom Mix, Bill Hart, Will | Rogers, Fred Thompson and Jack | Holt. He is Ken Maynard, a Texan with | a drawl, a real cowboy, a Wild West | show follower, a circus performer, | a rodeo champion, a soldier of for- | tune and now a western star. All| these accomplishments crowded into | thirty vears of life. Ken Maynard will come to the New Palace tomorrow in a well | mounted picture of romance and ad- | venture in the days when the vigi lantes and buffaloes roamed in the west.

As for the riding— well West Point authorities are thinking of buying the film to use instead of classroom courses in cav- alry instruction. The plot of the story is very in- teresting. The picture contains many dramatic sequences and several hu- morous scenes to relieve the tense- ness. The companion feature for this program is Marshall Neilan's latest | story, “Everybody's Acting,” which is @ true tale of life behind the wings. The picture contains a cast that is supreme. Each name is a headliner. Betty Bronson, Ford Ster- ling, Loulse Dresser, Lawrence Gray, Henry Walthall, and Raymond Hitcheock. The versatile author-director un- derstands the value of a picturesque background and he has shrewdly placed his story in the glamorous environment of the theater. Much of the picture’s charm fs due to its fascinating setting. There will be two shows Sunday, the second starting at 8:30.

WALLACE BEERY IN'BIG GOMEDY “We're in the Navy Now” at| Gapitol Next Week ‘What “Behind the Front” was to the doughboy, that’s what “We're in the Navy Now” will be to the sailor. Paramount's first Wallace Beery —Raymond Hatton starring comedy brings those two inimitable buddies to the screen as the greenest goofy gobs who ever donned naval blue. Theater-goers attending the Capitol Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednes- day are assured the time of their lives as they follow Knockout Han- sen and his manager from the prize-ring to the deck of an army transport, over to [France, back | again and finally, to the same pugi- listic arena. It is of interest to know that| “Behind the Front,” the first film to show the sunny side of the war, was numbered among 1926’s biggest money-makers. And it really isn't to be wondered at. As the two dumb doughboys, Beery and Hatton en- tered the hearts of a nation. Their adventures were so real but still so laughable, that it wasn’t long before they became the talk of movie-land. Famous Players-Lasky corpora- tlon sensing the public demand for | a sequel, accepted Monty Brice's | original story, placed it in the hands | of the man who directed the carlier | comedy, Edward Sutherland, and | cast Hatton and Becry as the two gobs. Chester Conklin and Tom Kennedy head their supporting | cast—Conklin as a transport cap- | tain; Kennedy, a petty officer. There will be two showings on | Sunday night with the second per- | A | formance beginning at 8:30 and the funniest stories on the screen is to | open at the Capitol tomorrow night, | when Wallace Beery and Raymond | dally showings will be at 2:45, 4:30, 7:00 and 9:10. | Parents should by all means or | send them after school. tol scale of prices admits children with their parents in the evening | for fifteen cents and at the matinees | for ten cents. | Other films will include Aesop's | Fables, the Capitol News in current | events, and other short subject On Thursday the bill will change photoplay _fea- | tures.
