MOVIE l

Goddess Men" a Reginald Barker production, with a GoIdwyn al1.star cast, is a story where men meet their souls face to face and sheer them selves on to acts of horror; where they grapple life with ruthless, de- structive hands. It will be shown at the Empress Theater tonight. Rus sell Simpson portrays the leading character, "Black Pawl." As "Black Pawl" he defies God and for years sails the sea a terror to every man be- fore the mast The history of those sinister sea captains who ruled by split blood and fear is all combined in the life of "Black PaWl.'
 "Black Pawr' is a character few men could handle. Its very scope of dramatic possibilities would beWilder and overwhelm the ordinary actor. The force of the story stuns one in it's mere skeleton outline and brought to life in it's every detail on the screen, It is said to be the greatest sea pic ture ever produced. Through his pre- vious work in such plays as 'Ihe Branding Iron," "The Barrier" "Out of the Dust" etc., Simpson has been trained in the point where BLACK Pawl' is a living, breathing, stupen- dous portrayal of character in hls hands.
 William s. Hart, the popular Para mount star, has scored a new triumph ] in his latest photoplay of the Gold en West, ''The Testing Block Whlch will be shown at the Empress Theater this week. It is a picture ot tremeh' dous action, dramatic interest anu genuine heart appeal MT, Hart IS the author as well as leading player. lie is finely supported by Eva Novak' ms leading woman and there is an ex- cellent cast.

ROME, Jan. 9.-Bonito Mussolinl, the man who at 3S years of age has become virtually the legal dictator of Italy, has great capacity for work Since he assumed charge of the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and the Interioir, Mussolini has aver aged over eighteen hours of hard work every day.

Bootleg booze in California will be a thing of the past within three months after the Wright bill is en- forced, Dr. Briggs, State head of the Anti-Saloon League. said recently in explaining how the prohibition en- forcement law will clean up the State.
 California is going to be dry 90 days from the day of enforcement of the Wright law" Dr. Briggs said. Passage of this act means where 22 Federal afficers have endeavored to enforce the Volstead Act in one of the largest States in the nation there will be 10000 enforcement agents, as the Wright Act makes every peace officer an enforcement agent"
 Dr. Briggs brought out the fact that from now on peace officers will not have to resort to the formality Of securing evidence on which to base a search warrant before they can invade a dwelling in search of illicit liquor or a still.
 Under California procedure, he said, "a peace officer can enter any home, building, hotel or club and
 C., ,1yithnut a search warrant. He can enter and search from cellar to garrett if he has req son to believe that liquor is stored there in violation of the law"
 The Wright Act also carries the same provision as does the Red Light Abatement Act, which provides that any building can be closed up for one year if it is found that the law has been violated therein, pr. Briggs also explained. Such step already has been taken in San Jose where a hotel was closed and sign, stating why it was closed, nailed across the front of the place.
 Although the Wright Act passed with a majority of about 25,00o votes it is not yet in effect. The official count has not been certified by the Secretary of State at Sacramento However, after the count has been certified the law will go into effect within five days. The count will be completed some time this month.
 The outlook for the bootleggers is not so bright.
