Attractions At Theatres
NEW ALL-TALKING
 FILM AT COLISEUM

A levee down the Mississippi. Roustabouts all set to load cotton. Everybody waiting for the Nelly Ely to dock. A few struggling pas- sengers preparing to go aboard. High-stepping, full-blooded horses, hooded and blanketed about to go on a trip. Cargo of all sorts lying around-crates of chickens, furni- ture.
 Excited spectators on hand to sec the sights and perhaps to welcome new arrivals. Strains of "Ezekilc Saw de Wheel" with the voices blending in the sweetest harmony.
 And then-the Nelly Bly, It comes into sight with the captain on the bridge, the mate shouting or ders, sounds of the gangplank being made ready to let down. Whistles. Bells. Paddle wheel sloshing. Engine exhaust playing deep staccato. Activity on the levee at it's height.
 Passengers come ashore, others go aboard. The roustabouts pile up the bales of cotton on the deck as they sing a rhythmic song
 In the rear of the crowd are two figures of an aged man and a little boy-in whose lives their greatest dramatic moment is about to be spent.
 That is an example of the atmos- phere of the Old South as it is built up in Hearts in Dixie" Fox Movietone all-talking, singing and dancing production.
 This picture, which has it's set tings among the cotton fields, along the levees and other places of the Southland, is an entirely new de- parture in motion pictures in that being 100 per cent dialogue, it yet utilizes vocal and Instruments music to accentuate the develop ment of the story.
