work Of this same Ryan.
Shines Is not the word. No
character like that of Joe Drum

shine. Glowers, perhaps, or blub.

You won't enjoy Ryan's role, nor
the way he enacts it. Rather
you'd sooner take a club and wan.

what few brains he has. But
you'll be forced to admit the fact
that the part Is the most meaty

taken all in all.
OF course, Percy Marmont in
the title role is splendid. Anyone
who saw his Light that Failed"

a thorough-going Marmont fan,

Virginia Valli has the nominal
lead. Aside from looking particu.

Composer Ievey has en-
HANGED, no little, the timidly
voiced star by editing his score
to her requirements. There
won't be much crying out loud
about the Chatterton vocal
range; neither, do / think, there
will be any harsher criticism
than that she sings Intimately"
and with a nursery-like sweet
ness. She dances, not much,
but acceptably. There is no
time she is on the stage that
she doesn't project an exquisite
presence.
Opposite Miss Chatterton is
Ralph Forbes, who looks ex-
actly like the Prince Of Wales
to q certain point, from whence
on he is handsomer. He is
required to do much posturing;
you know, that kind of busi-
ness where he must appear to
be hearing loves sly cajolries
for the first time! He does it
all enormously well and beats
his own pulchritude to the
background.

fael Sabatini's latest supplication
for standing room in the Hall Of

The story deals largely with the
good old swash- buckling, bucca-
neer days when every pirate and
outcast was a gentleman and
martyr, whose every dastardly
deed against the monarch, alias
the tyrant and his followers could
be Justified according to the old

were good for one more flogging

his instincts did not mislead him

account of the best recipe for

tably good work in the role of
Captain Blood. Mr.. Kerrigan de-
serves added credit because he
makes this success in role which
is foreign to any he has at
tempted before. In this picture
he discards the spurs and cowboy
feathers and curls of gentleman
pirate. Jean Paige assists him
greatly in the part of Arabella
Bishop the attractive niece Of his
worst enemy. Others who deserve
credit are Charlotte Merriam,
james Morrison, Allan Forrest.
Bertram Grassby and Otis Harlan.
The story revolves about the
adventures of Captain Blood, an
Irish physician who is sentenced
to slavery in the, West Indies
through incuring the displeasure
of King James of England. The
colony is attacked by a Spanish
fleet and while the Spaniards are
marauding the town the convicts
under Captain Blood-take posses
sion of the Spanish ship and turn
pirates. Captain Blood's romance
with Arabella Bishop is the ex-
cuse for the rest of the story.
For an overture William Tell
and his orchestra render Daniel
Breeskin-roh excuse us, just the
other way around-Daniel Breekin
and his orchestra render William

synonymous that we confused them.

Senator Says Honesty in Govern.

Senator Thomas J, Walsh democrat, Montana, outlined the na, tional and state campaign issues at 2 democratic rally here last night, The meeting eliminated homecoming program arranged by party leaders Former Governor Samuel V. Stewart presided.
 Honesty in government, the rev. enue law, the tariff and the policy ot isolation" are the four leading issues of the campaign, Senator Walsh said. 'fhe democratic revenue law now in operation. eontrasted with the pro- posed Mellon plan, points to the es- sential difference between the two major parties perhaps more clearly than any other measure" he eontin- ued,
 The senator scored the republican tariff as a measure that robbed the farmer" and criticized the foreign pol- icy as contributing nothing 10 the re- construction of Europe and little to mobilization of trade. The foreign policy was marred. he declared. by sending abroad species Of leaves troopers" to watch the developments in Europe.
 Eulogizing John W. Davis. demo. cratic presidential nominee, as a worthy successor to Washington. Jeff ferson. Lincoln, and Wilson, Senator Walsh said that Mr. Davis was fitted for the presidency by character, training and experience" He also stressed the activities of the nominee in advocating and supporting progress sive legislation.
 Although the senator made no di- rect reference to the candidacy of Senator Robert M. La Toilette, he lauded his colleague, Senator Burton K. Wheeler, independent candidate for vioe-president for his part In the Daugherty investigation.
 Senator Walsh, unopposed for re- nomination in the primery election August 26, made only slight mention of his own candidacy, announcing he would make no further addresses un- til the fall campaign.
 After a series of conferences with party leaders here today, Senator Walsh said he expected to leave for his summer home at Lake MacDon- aid, Glazier National Park, to visit : month.
