The Sahara

The true Sahara is great desert
that stretches. bare and dead world
of its own, all across Africa. A
strange world it is, for it has noun
tains, valleys and plains like the liv
ing world, save that nothing grows
to cover the bare ribs of the earth
and nothing moves but the great winds,
and now and then the wandering
Arabs
The desert is of four sorts, the rock
desert, the desert of dry salt lake
beds, the desert of fat sand tied down
by sage and cactus. and the desert
of the moving dunes of sand.-Eunice
Tietjens. in Child Life Magazine.

 TRANSFERABLE LOVER" IS AT PALACE SUNDAY

William A. Beaudine, director oi the Universal-Jewel production "The Irresistible Lover" which has been booked as the feature attrac- tion at the Palace Theatre start ing Sunday matinee with Norman Kerry and Lois Moran in the lead ing roles, is one of the few direc- tors in the industry who is equally lat home directing either comedy o, melodrama.
 His outstanding successes. several |of them considered among the best pictures ever filmed, are divided be- tween the two classes in a way that proves it is not luck or chance, but the carrying out of a system learn ed from years of experience.
 The Irresistible Lover" is. in fact a variation of both. It is laughablc comedy throughout, but a subtle so- phisticated comedy hitherto untried by the director and, according to critics, is one of his best works to date.
 The supporting cast includes such sterling players as Arthur Lake, Gertrude Astor, Myrtle Sted- man, Lee Moran, George Pearce Phillips Smalley and a host ot |others.

The part is decidedly diff ferent from anything he has done before and can easily be called his best. He is a professional boxer in every scene, whether boxing or making love.
 The picture is an excellent pro- duction that will thrill every lover of fighting and romance. It is among the best pictures that have shown here this season and can al- most be guaranteed to make you stand up and holler "sock 'em, when the fighting scene comes along.
 James Gleason, formerly of the stage, gives another excellent DOT trayal in the role of Jimmie, the fighters hard-boiled manager. Jo- byna Ralston. who is remembered for her four years as leading lady with Harold Lloyd, is seen in one of her most attractive roles. Others in the cast are Arthur Lake, Edyt-le Chapman and Char les Sellon.

Attractions At Theatres
THE AIR CIRCUS"
 AT COLISEUM SUNDAY

Airplanes and hand signals took the place of the megaphone while Howard Hawks and Lew Seller made The Air Circus" Fox Films production coming to the Coliseum Theatre Sunday.
 In this aviation picture the trio of young principals, comprising David Rollins, Arthur Lake and Sue Carol, actually learned to fly since the theme of the story is that Young America takes to the air, inspired by the Lindbergh example. They thus present the first group of screen players who ever have mastered aviation in or der to act in the clouds. Hitherto, concealed pilots have been used to handle the ship while doubles" sat in for real actors in making air shots.
 In addition to controlling the planes, after having qualified through days of active training, this trio had to act as their own cameraman = another innovation. Electrically operated cameras were placed on the wings and at other points about the plane, and the youngsters maneuvered the planes until they were in the right po- sition as indicated by Hawks for the various shots.
