On Trial, Palace
Picture, Has Court
Scenes Which Thrill

In no picture yet made has there
been quite such convincing demon
stration Of drama in everyday life
as in "On Trial"-the latest big
mystery special offered by Warner
Bros, and now drawing record
crowds to the Palace Theater, Nc
Alien.
The dramatic power of the story
is brought out with an effective
ness which has never been ap-
preached by previous pictures.
Courtroom scenes Of the great MUIR
der trial, around which "On Trial"
revolves, present q complete re-
creation Of the proceedings, which
formerly would have been impos-
sible without the intrusion Of a
long succession Of preparatory
scenes-so many, in fact, as to
completely slow up the action of the
story. But with the present play
every motion plays its part in
heightening the interest in the
scenes, and in presenting the SEN
sational trial with all its amazing
turns and twists.
One of the most emotional Of the
scenes is the one in which Robert
Strickland catches his wife in a
lie which she constantly Celebrates
in an effort to make her unusual
actions plausible. SO splen-
didly is the scene played that the
audience actually suffers with both
husband and wife.
The distinguished cast Of "On
Trial" includes Pauline Frederick,
Bert Lytell, Lois Wilson. HOLMES
Herbert, Jason Richards, Richard
Tucker, Johnny Arthur, Vondell
Darr, Edmund Breese, Edward
Martindel, Fred Kelsey and Frank
lin Pangborn. The production was
directed by Archie L. Mayo, and
the original play by Elmer Rice was
adapted for the screen by Robert
Lord.
"On Trial" is at the Palace the
alter today, tomorrow and Tuesday.

Hornaday Pleased
By Interview With

DR.. William T. Hornaday Of
Stanford, Conn, one of the fore
most leaders in the movement to
establish sanctuaries for wild life,
has written The Herald thanking
it for publishing an interview with
DR.. L. H. Pammel, also a leader in

DR.. Hornaday suggests that this
southwestern country should estab-

He states in an article 1--WE have
seen that in Oklahoma, Kansas and
California and the Jack Miner
Sanctuary little ponds fully pro-
tected have been fairly crowded with
wild ducks and geese. and I think
that the very first thing for the

and supply them some food for
them while the ducks and geese dc

Children OF Ritz
Showing AT Queen
Has Big Time Cast

The combination of Dorothy Mac
kali and Jack MUlhall in a cinema
offering has come to mean so much
that the producers cannot "separ-
ate" the two ere lovers.
Ordinarily, give film patrons these
two First National players and a
good plot, and they're happy. Con-
Sidering the fact that Children of
the Ritz" their latest vehicle, which
is coming Wednesday to the Queen
theater, IS Cornell Woolrich's cele-
brated $4,000 prize, magazine
serial-movie-o riginal-story plot, it
would seem that that gives the pie
ture everything"
However, the producers put more
into the prize package. Two regular
leading ladies, famed for beauty
and histrionic skill. two handsome
and talented leading men, and a fa-
nous stellar comedian head the
notable supporting cast.
Doris Dawson, who in high school
days was forld-famous as an ar
lists model, plays one ingenue lead,
and Kathryn Mcguire, not long
ago pronounced "the screens most
beautiful and gifted blonde" plays
the other. James Ford, newest OF
film leading men and the particular
find" of Frank Lloyd and Corinne
Griffith, is one of the leading men.
Edmund Burns, Of the English stare
fame, is the other. Lee Moran is the
actor Of comedy fame.
Miss Dawson has just COMPLETED
an ingenue lead in another picture
in which Mulhall appeared with
Alice White, Naughty Baby" She
was LEADING woman in Christie and
5enett comedies, Harry Langdon
and later in serious drama.

After sprawling in a great angle
around the barrier of Dobrudja, the So
called blue Danube drops its load Of
mud and sand gathered from eight ma
tons of Europe in a large delta at
the western end of the Black sea. This
delta takes the form of a huge. equi-
lateral triangle 80 miles long on each
side.
OF all the varieties of earth surface
deltas rank high as the most useless
to civilization. Mountains are admired
for their inspiration, deserts hold rare
beauty for those who seek it, but few
people go to a delta even TO hunt
ducks if they can help it. The Da-
nube's delta is particularly unattrac-
tive since rhe peasants have not been
able to adapt il to agriculture, as
sugar-cane planters have large parts
of the Mississippi delta. Some del
