o e " I l LI ',!l!ff?ffiif.f‘ff' I hv “KING OF KINGS” AT CAPITOL ' Cecil B. DeMille's masterpiece “The King of Kings” is the big pho- toplay attraction at the Capltol where it is playing to large appre- ciative audiences and will be re- peated again today and Wednesday on continuous shows. Costing $2.- 500,000 to produce, with a cast of | eighteen big stars; and five thous- | and people in the entire cast, “The King of Kings” is truly the great- est picture of the supreme tragedy of the ages, that has ever been film- ed. Endorsed by hundreds of di- vines, the press, public and scholars both of this country and Europe, it will go down in the records of the motion picture industry as the sev- | enth wonder of photoplays. *On Thursday the program will change and will bring a double fea- ,ture show heaed by George Ban- croft in “The Docks of New York.” ‘The co-feature will offer Glen Tryon ‘in his new comedy riot “How to 'Handle Women” a great story that vlll hold interest from end to end. REPUBLICANS ARE NOT WORRYING IN WEST COAST AREA (Continued from First Page) igre making much noise, and they| appear thoroughly confident that| they can at least scale down the| ;ormal republican majorities in all | three states. They speak of carrying | most of the larger cities, including | :@an Francisco, Portland and Seattle 'by appreciable margins. But they| pecognize fully that nothing but an | ‘epochal turnover can do them any ®ood in the matter of counting elec- toral votes. Only 55 Votes A frregular line drawn across| the map from north to south, t- ing at the western border of the Dakotas and ending with the west- orn border of Texas, would have \west of it eleven states, comprising ‘more than one third of the area of ‘the country but commanding only 85 electoral votes. In this entire area, democratic efforts seem now to center most forcitly on 16 of the 86 votes—four in Montana, six in Colorado, three in New Mexico and '.hree in Arizona. Coast Is Dry 8o far as the Pacific coast states are concerned, the Hoover manag- ers are counting on a variety of fac- tors to help offset whatever swing there may be toward the democrat- S nominee. Washington and Ore- gon always have been overwhelm- tngly dry, and California, which was almost evenly divided at the last| prohibition test, is being exhorted to rally in overwhelming numbers for a favorite son. The cry lgalnsl] Tammany echoes all along the ‘eoast, and of course the religious fssue is talked about everywhere, iwith consequences which the poli- iticians find it extremely difficult to| assess. In California, especially, the dem- /ocrats count first of all on their jstrength in the cities. They bank Beavily on carrying San Francisco, lwhich has a large republican Catho- {¥e population, and is wet. They sce ipossibilities in the fact that two :mrl ago northern California voted iwet in a statewide referendum by iwhich & dry enforcement code fin- | {ally was kept on the statute books by & count of 565,875 to 502,258. Deny Labor Charge The Hoover people have not been | insensible to the attacks made on| ‘their candidate in his home state. {Among other things they have ms-: tributed pamphlets denying a| ;elur'e that he employs no white | {labor on his 1300 acre farm in Kern ‘County, and an accusation that while he was food administrator he | was responsible for heavy losses suffered by the California bean | igrowers. Hoover also has on his side Senator Hiram Johnson, who for jyears has had a large independent following and his managers claim | the overwhelming support of the ‘Wwomen voters. i McAdoo Quiet In 1916 the women were credited | with turning the state to Wilson, ({and in 1924 are said to have swung %o Coolidge. Many women were iamong the crusaders for William G. McAdoo in Madison Square Garden ‘and, this year McAdoo, at his home !fn Santa Barbara, s doing what e {did most of the time during the pre- jeonvention campaign of 1924—say ‘mothing. “ Deats Two Combined | The vote in California years ago was 624,992 for Harding and 733,250 for Coolidge, 424,6 Follette and 105,514 for Davis, giv- ing Coolidge a margin of more than 200,000 over his two opponents icombined. In Washington, Coolidzr ‘had 220,224, La Follette 150,727 and Davis only 42,842. In Oregon the count was Coolidge 14, Tette 65,403 and Davis 6 eight THURS.

The story is bright and peppy and much com- edy is derived from the witty sub- titles of the picture. The vaudeville show of five select acts is also great. Included in this program are “The Rath Bros,” American athletes, in a very fine hand to hand balancing offering; Nelson and Knight are big favor- ites in “The Vulgar Boatman”; Joe Young and Co. are the comedy hit of the bill presenting “Hokemology,” a very funny variety offering: Jos- ephine Harmon with Miss Newton at the piano, also scores heavily in good comedy and songs; and the Spears-Parsons Revue ar. well re- ceived with a nifty song and dance offering assisted by the Six Solis Brothers as a Marimba band. On Thursday Zane Grey's story “The Water Hole” will be the big photoplay attraction with Jack Holt and Nancy Carrol featured while the vaudeville bill will be headed by Helen Johns and her Eleven Glori- ous Girls in a “Rhythm Revue.” PALACE “My Best Girl” is the story of a shop girl, Maggie Johnson, who through all the hard knocks she re- ceives, still retains a belief in better things. She is an enigma to her own family, who cannot understand the idealism with which she paints out the shadows in their lives. At the store she meets a new employe, Joe Grant, with whom she falls in love. She has no idea that he is the son of her employer. It is a mar- velous romance of walking headlong and blindfolded into the trap that Fate has set for them. Maggie has a sister whose friendship for a married man nearly wrecks the whole Johnson family and does play havoc with Maggie's {own romance.

The entire action of the play takes place in supreme court in New York city. As the audience enters the theater, policemen, court attendants, etc. are seen strolling around or reading. As the case proceeds, the future looka dark for Mary Dugan. Strong circumstantial evidence piles up against her. A sensation is caused when her brother, arriving unex- pectedly from the west, takes her de- fense from the hands of her law- yer.
