Cal.” COMING! r\ V I NACTIONS COLISEUM—"College Days,” Musical Comedy presented under auspices of American Legion. PALACE—J. P. McGowan In "Hills of Missing Men." BETTY BALFOUR MAKES HIT AT PALACE Besides picturing a cornl • of Lon don life in its most exciting mo ments, an entirely different phase is also shown is "Me and My Gal,” the attraction at the Palace theatre, for the last time tonight. When the action follows Betty Balfour as "Sulbs,” star character of the cm edy drama, to the country, all the beauty and interest of rural England are shown. Unusually fine photo graphy does full Justice to the lovely countryside in Surrey, the country nearest the metropolis. Roads and lanes and shady dells all prepare the eye for a vista which ends in a quaint thatched cottage, picturesque, cozy and comfortable. When it is further made known that the cottage is occupied by the parents of “Sulbs” sweetheart, former policeman and cook, there is a point of interest in the fact that English country people of humble means live in an atmosphere of thriving beauty. Such natural beauty, in fact, as Americans expect only on the care fully-tended estates of the rich. From tranquility such as this the closely-knitted plot of "Me and My Gal” shifts back to the tenser life of the city, there to end in a thrill ing climax. JACK HOLT AT COLISEUM LAST TIME The magic spell of the long glisten ing beaches and swaying palms of the exotic South Seas was wafted into the Coliseum theatre last even ing, when Jack Holt’s new Paramount starring picture, “The Man ITncon-* querable," received its initial presen tation. It is a story of groat power, dealing as it does with a young man who has been reared with a profound re spect for law and order. He Inherits his uncle's pearling grounds on an island in the South Pacific, and he resolves that he will maintain his peaceful principles in his new pos sessions. But he has misjudged the elemental passions and cunning of the pearlers and finds thrfl he has to discard his theories and fight. And when he does fight he is unconquer able. I The star is superb in the role and has not been seen in a part which fitted him better in a long while, i Sylvia Breamer .making a welcome appearance in Paramount pictures, is excellent in the role of the little French girl who first stirs the man into a fighting mood with her scorn land then calms him with a smile. The picture has been perfectly in vested with the atmosphere of which the story deals, and moves with the swiftness of a machine gun. The supporting cast acquit themselves with distinction and the direction by Joseph Henaberry has been fault less. This feature is on for the last time tonight. J. P. McGOWAN IN “HLLS OF MISSING MEN” As a rough-riding, hard-fighting, fast and furious Western melodrama, “The Hills of Missing Men” without exaggeration or a doubt, takps the prize. It comes to the Palace to morrow. It Is one of those interest compelling, throught-stlmulating stor ies in which you are kept guessing as to whether the star Is hero or bad man. And spectacular! Its story is spec tacular by virtue of its bold adven ture, its heart throbbing romances, its clever intrigue. Its thrills are the most spectacular J. P. McGowan has ever performed.
