Whalng~-a lost thrill of other
 days. Yet In "The Sea Beast"
 which opens Sunday night at the
 Lyceum for a whole week, this old
 New England industry is made 10 live again and the spectator will see
 the most thrilling struggle the screen has ever depicted. They will see six men biting their skill against the brute strength Of fifty ton whale, the monster of the deep.

 Dick, the New England fisher lad, double crossed by his rival in love, cmbittcred by the loss of his sweet heart and terrible injury, in the greatest bit of character acting imaginable. Supporting John Bar rymore in this picture is Dolores Costello, the brilliant and beautiful young movie queen, and George O'Hara, star of many movie and several serials.
 This, "The Sea Beast" is the
 same picture which still attracts thousands daily in New York and at metropolitan prices.

PARSONS THEATER

"Aloma of the South Seas" play of love and youth, which created a fllrore In New York last year and has had long runs in Philadelphia and Boston, comes to Parsons for one week, beginning Monday April 26.

A big effect of a terrific tropical storm is a feature seldom seen in the theater nowadays. Thrills, laughing incidents, pathos, novel dances and beauty are brought out during the recital of a pretty love story which tears the veneer of hy- pocrisy away and holds human na- ture up to the mirror.

LITTLE PRINCESS COMES INTO WORLD
Daughter Born to Duke and
 Duchess Of York

London, April q Pt-The Duke 1 and Duchess of York are the proud possessors of Il girl baby. The little princess made it's advent 1 into the world at 2:40 o'clock this morning in the childhood bedroom of tho duchess in the town house l Of her father, the Earl of Strath- more. The baby is the first child of the duke and duchess.
 The Duke Of York is the second l son of King George and Queen 1 Mary. The duchess was formerly Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon. The couple was married in Westminster Abbey April f. 1928.
 Popular interest, second only to | that which attended the arrival of tho first baby of Princess Mary, daughter of the king and queen, and her husband, Viscount Las celles, long had been focused on the expected event. There was much qualification on the part of the people to learn from the o.1i- cial announcement that the duchess has been safely delivered of princess"
 The baby arrived little earlier than had been expected by the physicians, who did not anticipate the occurrence until the end of the month. The Duke of York was present in the Strathmore home and received hearty congratula- tions. Recently the duchess has been in remarkably good health. She accompanied the duke to the thcater a few days ago.
 It Is almost exactly three years since, as the slightly known Lady ! Elizabeth BoWes-Lyon, the duchess became the bride of the kings second son and from the quiet re- tirement of the home Of her father was suddenly thrust into the fierce social light that beats upon the throne and the royal circle. Since then the duchess has taken a full share in the social duties which the public demands of every mem- Der of the kings family. By her pleasant manner and genial smiles she won her way into the hearts of the people, whose congratula- tons today are pouring into the Earl Of Strathmorc's mansion on Burton street, where the new princess came into the world.
 Although it is somewhat re- mote contingency, there is pos. sibility that today's baby one day may sit on the throne as British 1 sovereign. Should both the Prince of Wales and he Duke of York 1 die before King George, with neither leaving an heir, the Duke of York's daughter would stand in the same position with respect 10 the crown as did Queen Victoria ! when William " died.
 Nictoria's father, the Duke of Kent, eldest son of George III. was dead, but two young sons of George III - the Duke of Essex and the { Duke of Cambridge were living. . Nevertheless success went to Vic i toria as the daughter of the elder son, and presumably such an ar rangement would be followed again In q like circumstance.
