In this picture the stal- wart actor portrays the role of Es- camille, In the pivotal feminine role is Dolores Del Rio, who likewise won mijlions of admirers beaause of her portrayal of Charmaine in “What Price Glory.” Mlss Del Rio is seen as Carmen, a role which fits her fiery temperament as naturally as ! old lace fits lavender.

Y., Jan. 14 (P The radio fan's dream of a hom« vecelving set bringing to him both sight and sound is near realization. | Radio waves have carried both au- dition and vizion into homes here to prove the engineer's contention that television 1is almost ready to lcave the laboratory for the home. Some further simplification and a regulation of cost of apparatus is all that stands ‘n the way of house- lold use of television, they declare. A small audience, seated fn a hoine here yesterday, saw, in mi ute detail, the actions of artists whose voices they heard from a common radio loud speaker. The transmitter was located three mlles away; the demonstration was given newspapermen by the General Elec- tric Company, in whose ldboratories the television transmitter and the home receiver was developed. > Credit for the present state of per- fection of the teclevision is given mainly to E. F. W. Alexanderson. chief consulting engineer of the Radlo Corporation of America. cabaret much like that of a phono- graph. A three-inch square opening in the television permitted viewing of the radio-pictures. First was seen merely a streak of parallel lines, but under the mamip- | ulations of the operator these disap- peared in a few minutes and a lum- inous field appeared. As & voice came over the loud speaker saying that demonstration was about to begin the face of the speaker was seen. He lit a cigaret, 1iie smoke of which was plainly ap- parent. He was followed by & ukulele performer, but due to the limited sze of the screen merely the face was visible, A girl appeared with a 1ook in her hand and when che held page to the transmitters even ple- tures on the page could be seeh.

Another reason, of course, is that it is the first time Augusta J. Evan's widzly read novel has been sereened. The director, Jerome Storm. has delicacy and an eye for detail. John Gllhert excels himself as St. Llmo. His character delincation rings true at all times. He has invested his role with a sympathetic appeal and him an individual triumph. The companion feature will offer Buck Jones new starring vehicle in “The Black Jack” s a smashing success for knockout thrills. Tn this production Buck deals with a story of the west and the desert, gold and outlaws, and the girl he loves. It is the kind of a story that is typical { of the Fox star and one in wgich he excels. Tt gives him ample oppor- tunity to “show his stuff.” AT THE LYCEUM Starting today for four days—the greatest double feature program ever before seen on one bill. The main attraction offers the greatest and most powerful sea drama ever— from the story by “White and Yellow.” “The Haunted Ship” has a great cast of stars such as Dorothy Sebastion, Montagu Love, Alice Day, Tom Santchi, Pat Har- {mon, Ray Hallor and many others. “The Haunted Ship” tells as only a :k London story can of a triangle on board a sailing ship in which the cuptain, his wife and the are involved.
