TO GAMING SHIP
ON WEEKEND
More Than $125,0O0 Pass
Over Green Tables of
Craft, 7 Miles at Sea.
BY GEORGE H. BEALE
United Press Staff Correspondent

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 6.-The
good ship Johanna Smith, the
amazing gambling craft seven miles
off the California coast line, en-
joyed favorable weekend.
Some 10000 persons passed over
its gangways and some $125,000 over
the green felt-covered tables of the
main deck forward.
Since the official hackers of the
Johanna Smith never have been
publicly announced, the weekend
figures came from one of the many
semi Official attendants that tramp
the floor where the games of chance
run on a twenty-four- hour basis.
"We had at least 10000 patrons
since Friday midnight" the attend
ant said. THAT number paid about
125 grand If we keep operating
until the end of this month we'll
be ready to give the boat away"
Operating Wide Open
The Johanna Smith, once a proud
schooner in coastwise lumber trade,
has been operating as a wide open
gambling palace for more than a
month
eve use the law to beat the law"
the semi-official explained. THE
law can't touch us. We can run
here until we're ready to quit.
"Our crowds? Well. a good many
come from the Pacific Southwest
Exposition and the rest are attract
ed from all over southern Califor-
mia by the publicity that came with
our defiance of officials"
Before the Johanna Smith was
made accessible to the gambling
element and the curious it was in
drydock in San Pedro harbor for
seventy-two days while $4,000 was
used to equip it with the most mod
ern gambling paraphernalia. din

An entire new top deck was con-
structed. the only one permitted to
the visiting gamblers. The forward
half Of this deck was equipped for
gaming. Thirteen tables for craps.
twenty-one, poker and
chuck-a-luck and thirty eight slot
were installed. There APP
pears to be no limit at the various
tables. The slot machines play from
5 to 50-cent pieces.
No Liquor Permitted
The middle part of the deck was
rebuilt with gangways, checkrooms
and cigar and soft drink counters.
A modern dining room with twenty
eight tables and a dance floor of
night-club proportions took the
place Of the original after deck. The
food served also is Of night-club pro-
portion and prices.

lad Cullen Lands falls into the
bootleg trap and he is framed so the
man who killed a policemen could
escape. Here is tense melodrama
and with the sound effects and the
spoken work, you are as near to
live actors speaking and acting their
parts as one could hope to get. !
am sure that it is going to take a
little while for most of us to get &C
customed to the all talking movie.
Lights of New York" is a
guarantee, I believe, that the all
talking movie has come to stay as
regular form of movie entertain
ment.
The chief speaking handled by
Helene Costello, as the small town
girl, who takes a fling at chorus and
cabaret work; Cullen Lands, our
small town hero; Gladys Brockwell
as wise woman, who knew her New
York, only too we'll and payed the
price; Mary Carr, noted for her
mother roles; Wheeler Oakman as
Hawks and many others.
The two men who have been cast
as the hardboiled detectives are
wonders. I don't know their names,
but they have real talking voices
and they know how to act this type
of role.
Lands seems not to mind the
talking game, but it is Wheeler
Oakman as the villain, dressed up
as night cafe operator, that
probably will demand most of your
attention.
Lights of New York" is senSa-
tional entertainment, true to type
most of the time and having lots
Of realistic crook and police dia-
logue.
Lights of New York" is rip
snorting entertainment. People are
going to rave over this one, first as
a novelty, and then will go back to
see it as standard by which flu
ture screen entertainment is going
to be judged.
The musical score running
through the picture has been we'll
chosen and the sound effects are
as realistic as if they were being
made in real life.
Lights of New York" is entertain
ment for the whole family. And it
will be a treat for all of 'em.
Edward Everett Horton and Lois
Wilson have a standard vaudeville
skit produced on Vitaphone under
the title of Miss Information"
Horton is a real talker and the We
hicle is good for many laughs. The
other Vitaphone subject has the
services of the Three Brox Sisters,
and these girls voices record splend-
idly. Movietone news complete the
bill.
Don't pass up seeing Lights of
New York" because I am sure
that you will call it corking and
sensational entertainment.
Now at the Apollo.

appearances than real merit. Allan
Raymond, in our opinion, should
thank the man when the Raymond
pay check is presented.
Les Kicks is a marionette act
done with great emphasis placed on
colored lights. Is a pleasing novelty
in this line.
Norman Kerry with the help Of
Lewis Stone stages a strong come
back in the picture 1.-THE Foreign
Legion" These foreign legion
pictures are all pretty much of the
same color and type. but it just
happens that the cast in this one
gives it different angle of appeal
than one would expect.
Lewis Stone, of course, is what he
always Is in a military picture, the
last word in perfect poise and action.
If we had an army We would want
him for the general, he would add
so much to appearances.
Mary Nolan has a wicked pair of
eyes and knows how to make them
up for disastrous results. She has
the part of the Captains wife, who
cannot be satisfied with what she
has and needs continual diversion,
with the always unhappy result of
getting someone's fingers singed'
She's a whizz when it comes to high
powered vamping.
June Marlowe gives the picture
the sweet, wholesome type so neces-
sary for good love interest She
looks the part of the little sister
who loves her sisters lover, and
acts it. In order to allay your Gu
riosity will have to tell you that
she gets him in the end.
So if you like romance under a
hot sun, intriguing wives and snap
py uniforms this picture will appeal
to you.

LEW is NOW VERY MUCH
THE GENTLEMAN

Lew Cody is now again in his
good hammered. but worldly atti-
tude.
In other words, Lew is the dress
suit fight promoter in Beau
Broadway" a title which indi-
Gates what the story is about as
much as a corn" label would tell
the contents of a can of tomatoes.
But the title in no way effects
the breezy little story that is told
in Beau Broadway" Cody this
time has two leading women, Aileen
Pringle, playing the type of
woman who would take an excursion
for Glove" especially when daddy
had an arm load of money. The
other female lead is played by Sue
Carol, cast as one of those limo
cent little girls whose relatives,
some of them, were prize fighters,
but she didn't know it. Little Sue
is welcomed into Cody's smart
New York apartment when she was
willed to him by her uncle, a prize
fighter. Uncle always spoke of
Sue as the baby and we again have
the good old hokum of seeing a
nursery all dolled up for the
baby" But baby" turns out to
be a beautiful young girl. Lew
decides that his ward must never
know thai he is fight promoter
and gambler. The battle then
centers between Aileen and Sue to
get their man. Of course, the
grand dame is the loser and our
little Sue is more than happy to
call Lew husband" instead of
daddy"
The picture gets most of it's real
thrills in several well-handled fight
scenes. There is some real fighting
going on and OF course there is a
love interest present on the part OF
one of the boxers. Lew doesn't do
any fighting. He is just q promoter.
There are some nice comedy
scenes, especially when Cody in
PRODUCES some typical fighters to Sue
under assumed names such as Pro-
feSsor So and So, and the like.
Miss Carol and Cody have cute
little tender moment scene when
Sue cooks a birthday cake for her
daddy. 1t is a small little cake and
Lew, not knowing who baked the
cake, put cold water on the whole
idea, including the cake. Then
Daddy, Sue and the butler stage a.
clever crying scene.
Beau Broadway" is clever, light
movie entertainment. 1t meets the
demand for entertainment, light
summer fare. It accomplisheS that
and nothing more.
1t is announced that Harry Fox
has just one more week as master
of ceremonies after this week, at the
Palace. This week, the stage show
is called "Hoosier Frolics." Cast in
cludes Collins and Peterson, Emil
Seidel and his orchestra.
