AT THE MOVIES
CAPITOL.

white Flannels." u Warner pro-
duction featuring Louise Dresser and
Jason Robards, is now showing nj
the Capitol theatre. 1t is fine
warm, human photoplay, with biz
spectacular thrills. honest comedy
and excellent direction.
Jason kObards is east as the young
coal miner who P"es to collage and
becomes a football star. He gives
an excellent, fortnight character,za-
ton, and shares hOnOrs with MISS
Dresser, who, as his Polish mother,
creates another memorably forceful
screen character.
The picture, while written on the
theme Of mother-love, has many ex-
citing moments, as in the great final
scene Of the mine disaster, the foot
ball sequence, or the earlier scenes
in the mines.
The heroine. q girl of the coal
mine town, is played by Virginia
Brown Faire. Others in the cast in
clude Warner Richmond, George
Nichols and Bruce Benedict.
The picture is an adaptation by
Graham Baker of Lucian Carey's Sat
urday Evening Post story.
ELTINGE
Renee Adoree and Conrad Nagel
are featured in Heaven on Earth"
q story of France and the war, ut the
Eltinge tonight and Thursday.
Renee Adoree brings all her
piquant charm and vivid Imagination
to the role of the little gypsy who
turns soldiers entertainer during the
war. Her emotion seems to come
entirely from q true conviction Of
the reality of the role rather than
a perfection of technique.
Conrad Nagel is seen opposite Miss
Adoree in the role of Edmond Dur
and, who rebels against the prison
that his parents have built up about
him to live a life of his own choos-
ing. Nagel has never been more
charming; and in the last scenes Of
the picture, as the French soldier, he
does some emotional acting that he
has seldom touched before.

 A masterpiece in every way-set- tings, story, acting-something worth double the price of admission. It is no wonder the picture has a record run throughout the States, for to miss seeig it is a real loss.
 It has marked educational qualities as well, as the utmost care and re- search make it true to life both in act and spirit of the Russian revolution. The last chance to see it will be this evening.

RED CROSS SEEKS
100000 MEMBERS FOR 1928

Five million members for 1925"
has been adopted by the American
Red Gross as its slogan for the 18th
annual roll call, to be held from
Almistice Day, November II, to
Thanksgiving If this goal is reach
ed it will mean an increase of nearly
100000 over last years enroll
mcnt.
Extensive demands for service in
dis asters and other emergencies and
a desire on the part of the Red
Cross to widen its activities in the
fields of public health, life saving,
first aid and similar enterprises,
make necessary increased support
from the people, national headouar-
ters states in announcing the 1928
goal.
Just how gigantic the task of ad-
ministering disasters has become is
evidenced in the annual report of
the Red Cross for the closing fiscal
year. Relief was given in total of
81 major and minor disasters in the
United States and in 21 foreign dis
asters. Included in the list of do
mestic disasters were the Florida
hurricane and the Mississippi Valley
flood, which affected total of
more than 640,000 people.
During the roll call more than
100000 men and women, wearing
the Red Cross workers badge, will
go among the people inviting them
to join for 1928. All will be vol
unteer workers. Dues collected will
finance local Red Cross work, such
as public health nursing and service
to World War veterans and supply
funds also for the international and
national Red Cross program.
Watauga county will play its part
in enlisting members. Officers of the
local chapter are now perfecting
plans for the annual enrolment.
