REVIVAL. CONTINUED
At FOURTH BAPTIST

Revival services, which were plan
ned to last ten days, have been eX-
tended another week. Great inter
est is being shown by the unsaved
as we'll as the saved, and each even
ing by Sis the church has ca
pacity crowd in its lecture room.
Many hearts have been touched and
souls saved as a result of DR.. Kent's
efficient sermons and Rev. Williams
direct talk to the unsaved. The gos-
pei hymns used are appropriate and
soul-stirring. 1t will naturally seem
that the success of these meetings
is due largely to the afternoon Cone
Hour" prayer services at o'clock
and to the Sunday sunrise prayer
meetings, both are largely attended.
Y Read John 3:16, "For God so loved
the world that He gave His only be-
gotten Son, that whosoever should
believe in Him should not perish, but
have everlasting life" Then say,
Ask and it shall be given thee"

- ION TRIAL" COMES TO
 COLISEUM, TUESDAY

Can you imagine character ln a motion picture being killed be- fore the story even starts, but still appearing on the screen throughout the film?
 That is just what happens in the case of Holmes Herbert, who plays en important part in Warner Bros. latest special mystery production, "On Trial" Herbert is murdered before the picture opens, but the method of telling the story brings him into almost constant view until the thrilling denouement.
 The film adaptation of Elmer Rice's remarkable play, "On Trial, ? brings to the screen one of the most sensational melodrarlas of theatrical history, and the fact that every bit of the play is from ac- ttal life vastly heightens its ef- feet on the audience.
 The all-star cast appearing in the production includes Pauline Frederick, Bert Lytell, Lois Wilson Holmes Herbert, Jason Robards, Richard Tucker, Johnny Arthur, vondell Darr. Edmund Breese, Ed ward Martindel, Fred Kelsey and Franklin Pangborn. "On Trial' was directed by Archie L. Mayo from the scenario by Robert Lord.
 NOn Trial comes to the Coliseum tomorrow for a two-day run.

ago, Lupita could not say good morning" in English; now it is rare that she gropes for words; she reads, reads, reads, goes to all the talkies, to learn new words and how to say them. She may never lose her accent-but then that, in the talkies, is probably her most valuable asset.
 Her first good part iS to be in "Conquistador," an all-talkie de- manding that accent. She has al- ready had a bit in Joy Street, ,' a non-talkie.
 Lupita, by the way, has prob ably the most musical name in pie lures. Say it over-Senorita Lupita Tovar-and see. And it's her real name.

 A miracle of concentrated energy is Michael Curtiz, the Hungarian director who is making the flood scenes of "Noahs Ark" shamed timcrous extras by himself plunging into the swirling deluge. It was wintry weather, and as a result he was taken severely i'll. But the experience seems not to have daunted his enthusiasm.
 The other day, under warm summer sun, after a day of heart breaking slow progress on fiesta scenes of his new picture, he stood on a platform straining his lungs in long speech of directions to the gaily costumed mob.
 He scorned a megaphone. Leap ing down, he was here, there, ev- anywhere about the massive set. When all was ready he followed the cameras in their "perambu- lator" shots of the festive scene eager, tense, excited, triumphant as the action pleased his fancy. He throws his body as well as his mind into the work. There is movie e-consecration.
