COSTELLO TOP
CAST AT THE APOLLO

Starring in the role of a fiery
Apache dancer, Dolores Costello ap-
pears at the Apollo starting today
in 1.-THE Redeeming Sin," a vivid Vi
taphone talking drama of the Paris

tured in the supporting cast.
In this picture Miss Costello is
said to give the most alluring por-
trayal of her entire career. She
plays JOAN" a favorite in the cafes
Of the Partisan slunas--a girl who
had fell under the spell of a mag
netic crook who dominates her en-
tire life.
Quite unknown to Joan, her young
brother, Petite, whom she worships,
is being trained in the art of an
expert pick-pocket. He is accidental
ly shot by the very man who rules
her, and young doctor, enacted by
Nagel, who has established an Of
flee in the sluns, is called in to at
tend the boy.
Joan and the physician fall in
love, and the characters that sur
sound them conspire to make a.
melodrama of thrilling and glamor-
Gus intensity, Vitaphone giving the
story the warmth, the terror and
the beauty of actual life-in voice,
sound reproduction and glorious
symphonic accompaniment.
In the supporting cast are Geor-
gle Stone, Lionel Belmore, Philippe
De Lacy, Warner Richmond and
Nina Quantero. 1.-THE Redeeming
Sin" was filmed under the direction
of Howard Bretherton from an

First National Vitaphone produc-
ton with Neil Hamilton acting as
the stars leading man.
The story, which was written
especially for Miss Moore, is ideal
for her character portrayals-those
of the innocent flapper variety
which won for her such fame in
Flaming Youth
In it she first is seen as a work
ing girl who spends the greater part
of her nights in cabarets and other
places where hot" tunes are the
vogue. 1t is while in one of these
that her dancing attracts the at
tention of dappsr young man with
whom she falls in love.
To her dismay she finds on the
following morning that he is. man
ager of personnel of the store
where she works in addition to be-
ing the son of the owner of the
store. Things begin to happen then
and it is only after overcoming
many obstacles that their love
realizes its dream at the altar.
Throughout the picture Miss
Moore is seen as the fapper who is
attempting to find whether or not
it is good to be good or good to be
bad. She finds the answer in her
own way, but in SO doing almost
loses the man whom she loves.
Of outstanding interest on the
bill this week are three short sub
jects one of which, 1.-THE Lions
Roar" is an all talking Mack Sen
nett comedy. In another, 1.-THE
Alibi," Kenneth Harlan plays the
leading role, while Trixie Friganzi
offers my Bag o. Trix'' as the
third. There also is the Fox Movie
tone News reel.

 And, Standard Oil is but one Of the big companies drilling here, and hasn't single well in production yet.
 But the seologists agree that the coming into production of the Gen eral Petroleum Oschner No. well last month proved up" the field. There is. of course, catch in the thing.
 This n one field where few suckers" will be allowed. For one reason, it's owned almost entirely by the major oil companies, either by fee simple. lease or permit.
 Costs Excessive For another. and more important one. it costs real money to drill a well here.
 The discovery well took l 3 months 10 bring into production. Ii was down to 7.230 feet when brought in. The General Petroleum well was down to more than 1000 feet after three years of drilling. when tools broke loose. Redrilling was started and the well finally was brought in at G..S0 feet. And the total cost l to General Petroleum Was up in the millions of dollars. It's not a game for millionaires. It's a game for multimiIonaircs. 1 But for what prizes, There now are nearly ga wells l drilling in the field. Almost every one is being pushed by major oil | company.
 This. by the way, is one of the richest fields in point of quality ever 1 brought in. The two producing l wells both have a tremendous daily gas output. The discovery we'll runs 1 about 65 million cubic feet Of gas, and the General Petroleum well about 40 million.
 The first well flows about 4,ooo 1 barrels of oil--S0 per cert gasoline. And another 10 per cent kerosene l Almost since the first day, it has been producing sos gravity oil.
 The General Petroleum we'll pro duces more than 1000 barrels oi oil of almost identical quality tc that of the discovery well.
 The field is gigantic. Ii is more than 20 miles in one direction, anc | hardly less in another.
 And poor. dcludod Murict5 1 thought he was after big money.
