Attractions At Thenfres
THE VALIANT" IS LAST TIME TONIGHT, COLISEUM

Had it not been for the injunc- tion of strict silence on a sound stage, there would probably have been some audible sniffling among the hard-boiled technical crew and other professional onlookers during the filming of crucial scene ir "The Valiant" Fox Movietone all- dialog production, when Marguer- ite Churchill sought to identify as her brother a murderer with but a few minutes between him and the electric chair.
 There is a depth of artistry in this slender ingenue that was un- guessed by those who had not had an opportunity of seeing her in such a tense dramatic scene as that one which she enacts with Paul Muni, co-featured with her in this photoplay adapted from Holworthy Halls stage play of the same name. The unbidden tear, so often spok- en of by the poet, is infrequent in a motion picture set, but there were plenty of them in evidence when William K. Howard, director of "The Valiant" completed the scene. "The Valiant" is the film at the Coliseum tonight, completing . four-day run.
 John Mack Brown, De Witt Jen- nings, Richard Carlyle, Henry Kol- ker, Edith Yorke, and other out standing players are in the sup porting cast.
