the DeMille studio one Of the banner
pictures Of the year. ..,.
Headed by Rod La ROGUE, who is
starring in the title role, the list Of
players in this Producers Distribut.
ing Corporation release is unusually
brilliant. Jetta Goudal as a Russian
princess in a colorful role, Noah Berry
as the villain, and Trixie Friganza,
Richard Carle and Clarence Burton in
other featured roles make up the ex-
cellent supporting cast.
The story, adapted from William
J. Locke's seasons best seller, is a
melodramatic comedy, adapted by
Garrett Fort and James Greelman
scenarists of recognized ability. The
picture swings between tense dra-
matte situations and humorous Incl
dents, with gorgeous spectacles of
life on the Riviera as colorful back
ground for the unusual story.

boy star, with his new picture, "Du-
rand of the Bad Lands" is also at the

.POCOMOKE CITY IS TO
BE- BROADCASTED SOON

Those who have tuned in on the
Del-Mar-Va air programs, have per-
haps noted that Pocomoke City was
not mentioned in the trips. Carl Mon
sees and Dale (Pete) Wimbrow met
small representation of the Cham
Der of Commerce last week, in the
Citizens National Bank Building and
so interested these in what the ra.
dio was doing, that enough money
was subscribed at the meeting to put
Pocomoke "on the air."
They also stated that when POGO
moke's turn came, she would get bet
ter notice since only few places
would be visited. This will insure a
big return for the money invested.
Since the meeting, others have been
solicited and the following are the
names of those who have made con-
tributions to assure radio advertise
ment of Pocomoke City. Be sure to
