THE TALKING MOVIES AT THE
HIPPODRONIE THEATRE.

The Vitaphone movies better
known as the talking movies have
been installed in the Hippodrome
Theatre at great expense and as a
result large crowds have been going
there to- see and hear them. THE
Jazz Singer" by Al Jolson was the
first rendititn.. "The Tenderloin,"
which has been running this week,
is the best shown there yet. Part.
Of the reel is the regular movie then
other parts show the life'sized actors
speaking from the curtain with a
realistic effect. These Vitaphones
furnish their own music and no or
chestra is needed. The one at the
Hippodrome rivals the best in the
city. Manager Somma is scoring
heavily with these added attract
tions.

Moscow, July 1s.-(AP)-
Hope for the party Of six men
carried off in the bag of the di.

revived by reports reaching

stating that the group, re-
ferred to as the "Alessandri"
party was not far from the pres.
sent .location of the Krassin.
Latest reports received In
Moscow indicated that the men
were at Z point 60.45 north lati.
tude and 3O.3l east longitude.
This would place them northeast
Of Foyn Island, near which the
viglieri group was rescued.
With these reports, which
were not confirmed, came q re.
vival in Moscow Of belief that
Road, Amundsen, the missing
Norwegian explorer, was likely
TO have, Joined this group in his
flight from Norway to rescue
the stranded men. This theory
was first advanced by Fridtjof
Hansen, noted explorer, that
Amundsen was likely to have
