This is remarkable film with well

Palace Sinners in

"Sinners in Heaven" the Paramount
picture featured at the Palace Thea
ter this week, is South Sea Island
tale with a novel twist at the begin
ming, but with the same old ending.
Perhaps some day when party is on
a voyage in southern waters there
will be a wreck, and more than two
people, one OF either sex, will survive.
OF course. the triangular effect has
been tried. but it would be refresh
ing to have more people saved in
stead of an obvious couple.

Annette kellerman scene (minuS An

cave man role convincingly. He has
d fine physique and manages to scowl
effectively throughout the picture.
sinners in Heaven" is the film ver-
sion of Give Ardens prize novel. 1t
tells of Barbara Stockley, sweet, un
sophisticated daughter of an English
clergyman, who is engaged to nice
young man, but wants to sew femi
nine wild oats before settling down to
married life. A gay widow friend
whose brother is a daring aviator
arranges that Barbara accompany her

party is wrecked in the Indian Ocean.
There follows the usual South Sea

sidered a white god until he cuts him

on. The couples escape to civiliza

settings are attractive and the sup

After fruitless and hair raising
experience in the apparently haunted
house, the hero dashes into den, the
"Port of Missing Men" to rescue the
heroine, only to find that a villaino us
servant of the old uncle has turned
the tables, actually kidnapped the girl
for his own, and is sailing away to
India. A thrilling rescue is made. in
which Moore apparently drops from
an airplane onto the ship, fights the
whole crew to q standstill, and
finally rescues his sweetheart in a
climax of chilling intensity. All this
while smacking somewhat of other
plots, is staged with superb craft
manship and powerful effect.
Among the delightful and truly
comical elements of the picture is
the old negro, with his three-ring
puzzle, who follows the boss"
through thick and thin, and engages
in an experience with skeleton in

tirely original and actually side

Here we have them again-"Potash

It's gorgeous return. George Sid

famous roles take a turn at maxim e
movies, and the comedy which they
inject into the business, the take off
which the whole thing provides on
the motion picture industry is sur
prisingly refreshing.
Two well-known actors play the
leads. George Sidney. replacing the
late Barney Bernard, portrays the
elder partner with ShrewdneSS and
humaneneSS that is delicious Alex

other. There is also Vera Gordon as
