comedy smash, For Heavens
Sake" packed Loew's Columbia
to capacity at almost every per-
Torrance throughout the past
week, has been held over at that
theater for a second great week,
which will start this afternoon at
o'clock. Announcement is made
that doors will be opened at the
Columbia this afternoon at 2
o'clock.
For Heavens Sake" is prov
ing one of the most ide-splitting,
hilarious comedy achievements Of
Harold Lloyd's whole career. The
production, while elevating the
comedy motif above all other con-
siderations, is nevertheless replete
throughout with thrills Of almost
every description while a strong
note of romance binds together
the production and makes OF it
tender love story as well. In the
role of Lloyd's leading woman,
the beautiful Jobyna Ralston Of
fers a fascinating performance
opposite the star. An Our Gang
comedy, International .Newsreel,
Screen Snapshots and special
music will round out.
RIALTO-So great has been the
attendance at the Rialto to wit
ness the showing Of THE Sea
Beast" starring John Barrymore,
that the picture will be held over
for a third week, commencing
Sunday. The patronage during
the second weeks run established
the highest box office record in
the history Of the theater. Even
during this week people have been
turned away at nearly every per-
Torrance.
John Barrymore is the star, but
even with Barrymore, the one
actor who brings to the screen
the feel of that indefinable quality
called genius, the drama of THE
Sea Beast" is the thing. For in
its suggestive power. in it's over
tones Of surging life, 1.-The Sea
Beast" is more than a photoplay;
1t is an epic of the heroic lives
OF the American whalers. Special
music and International Newsreel
complete.
PALACE-The noted stage play,
Brown OF Harvard" comes to
Loew's Palace for the new week
with Mary Brian, Jack Pickford,
Francis Bushman, jr., and others.
The piece is a humorous and
thrilling narration of undergradu-
ate days in college, centering on
the experiences of Tom. Brown,
whose indiscretions cause the loss
of the big regatta but who re-
trieves love and honor by his
spectacular work in the Yale
Harvard football game. OF course,
there's q heavy romance. How
could a college play exist with
out one. William Haines plays
the title role. Shorter subjects

bug" Pathe News, Topics and
special music.
