STRAND FEATURE Moran of the Marines” Starts Sunday Righard Dix is back in uniform In “Meran of the Marines" his lat- est Paramount offering which will be at the Btrand theater beginning Sunday for 4 days. In his new plc- ture, Dix easays the role of a marine buck private and gives an admirable characterization typical of the kind which has brought him to the pin- -macle of acreen fame, { In this picture also dobs Ruth Elder, the pretty transatlantic avia- trix make her bid for motion picture prominence. Although it is her first [ like a professional appearance on the ICHARD lm( ; nc“SFTHE RINES! AMOUNT PICTURE, screen, her acting s none ‘the less conyvincing and she goes through her paces like a veteran, “Moran of the Marines” is the story of a youth who gets into trouble and takes a few Chinese bandits and a thrilling fight to get him back in good graces, Meanwhile he httempts to win the general's daughter and succeeds, but only aft- ter many hair-ralsing, humorous and dramatic incidents have come to pass, An admirable cast contributes t, the success of the film. Roscoe Karns gives his characteristic hu- morous portrayal; Capt. E. H. Cal- vert impresses’ with his marine gen- eral’s role and Duke Martin con- | vinces one that there are really| hard-bolled sergeants in the Marine | Corps.

It shows the far-reaching re- sults of minor indiscretions which, snowball playfully rolling down hill, gathers force as it pro- gresses and culminates in a devas- tating avalanche spreading havoc and ruin, The love of luxury, ex- travagance and the necessity of “keeping up with the Jones,” some- times leads to more serious things and in “The House.of Shame” is de- picted the tragic incident which fs moat typical of the world we live in. An unusually capable acting cast has been assembled with such well known film favorites as Virginia Brown Faire, Creighton Hale, Lloyd Whitlock and Florence Dudley in the leading roles. The picture has been personally pervised by Lon Young with Burton King handling the directorial megaphone. Bophisticated film fans will find in this screen play a story which defies them to guess the results, Arthur Hoerl, the well known scenarist, has given some of the most unusual twists and plot devclopments to the story, PALAIS ROYAL—HARTFORD Palals Royal is now open for dane- ing on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday nights.
