TEXAS
What ic heralded as the topnotcli
thriller of the screen comes to the
Texas theater Thursday in “The
Haunted House,” First National
mystery picture.
While it is essentially a comedy,
the mystery element is not bur
lesqued and the menace is quite
real. Also the strange characters
are intriguing — a mad doctor, a
somnambulistic girl, a mysterious
nurse, a weird caretaker and so on.
Specially devised settings were
prepared for this picture which
Benjamin Christensen directed. Se
cret panels, mysterious trap doors,
queer rooms—all sorts of parapher
nalia for the development of a plot
that is concerned with search for
hidden treasure in a spooky old
dwelling on a high cliff overlook
ing the sea.
Chester Conklin. Thelma Todd.
Larry Kent. Flora Finch and others
are in the cast.

CAPITOL
Rising to a tremendous climax
that will make most fans gasp. “The
Flying Fool.” Pathes all-talking
air drama starring William Boyd,
opening Thursday at the Capitol, is
said to be one of the most thrilling
and entertaining pictures produced
this season. Although the story has
an aviation background and though
It readies a great dramatic ches
cendo with a scene in the air it is
not entirely an air story. It Is a
human drama, which combines pa
thos and comedy, played by a cast
of capable actors and moulded into
fine entertainment.
In his role of the Flying Fool.
Mr. Boyd Is seen as a devil-may
care stunt flyer whose weakness Is
women. They have been his chief
diversion since the days in France
when he was an American ace, but
he has never fallen In love. His
motto is “find ’em. fool ’em and for
get ’em!" This he proceeds to do
with amazing success until he de
cides to “save” his brother from
what he believes is a designing
cabaret singer. It is at this point
that complications set In and Bill
finds that for once he is not mas
ter of the situation. The climax of
the story i| tremendous and must be
seen to be appreciated.
ARCADIA. HARLINGEN
The circle of persons privileged
to hear and enjoy Ramon Novar
ro’s tenor voice will be Increased a
thousandfold with “The Pagan,"
new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film
coming to the Arcadia theater
Thursday, in which Novarro sings
for the general public for the first
time.
One of the chief spare-time in
terests of Novarro is his “teatro in
time” or little playhouse, built as a
part of his home in Beverly Hills.
Close friends of the young Mexi
can actor, who is one of the most
reticent of the players on the West
Coast, know that he spends a large
share of his evenings either at the
opera or in his home theater. The
latter, while its extremely intimate
auditorium seats only 65 persons, is
as completely equipped in propor
tion to its size as a big amusement
house. Resembling the other parts

how far she and Mr. Van had gone
. . Now. regjember, Chatty, you
mustn't breathe a word of all this
down there. It wouldn't be fair to
Mrs. Van.”
Once more Chatty crossed her
heart.
• • •
At half past one she was back at
her place at the telephone switch
board.
At twenty minutes to two Mrs.
Van’s full, rich voice came over the
wire, asking for her husband.
"He’s not back from lunch," Mrs.
Van Nuys.” Chatty told her poliie
ly. This is Charlotte Chatterton
.vpeaking . . I’ll tell him you
called when he comes in."
"Is Miss Herford there? If she
is I’ll speak to her. How long have
they had you answering telephone
down there.
“Just a.couple of days. But I like
it. thank you.” Chatty said, and
put Agnes Herford on the wire.
She stayed on it, too. She smiled
i7~~
to herself as she listened to Mrs.
Van Nuys cross-questioning Agnes.
‘•What time will Mr. Van Nuys
be back from lunch. Miss Herford?”
‘He said aobut two oclock, Mrs.
Van Nuys,” Agnes’ voice still
sounded as though she had been
crying.
“You don’t happen to know where
he's having lunch, do you?”
“No. Mrs. Van Nuys?”
‘•Well, where docs he usually
have it?”
*T—I—I— can’t say, Mrs. Van
Nuys. I don’t knew.”
Chatty laughed in spite of her
self. remembering the paragraphs
jhat Agnes had written In the diary
about the luncheons she and Mr.
Van Nuys shared in the Rose Tree
restaurant and at Musse-Cacsare’s
Italian Grill and at »he cafeteria in
the building.
A moment later Mrs. Van Nuys
called in again. ‘T want to see you.
please.” she said to Chatty. ’■Stop
in at my house on your wav home
tonight, will you?”
Chatty promised that she would.
