CAPITOL

An interesting, if accidental,
touch of realism was to be found
on the First National lot during
the filming Of Weary River" the
new First National feature starring
Richard Barthelmess which is play
ing to large crowds at the Capitol
theater.
There we're scores Of extras in
prison uniform, waiting between
scenes, usually in silent groups,
such as are always to be found in
real prisons when rest periods are
being enjoyed. There was the SOM
Der makeup and authentic uni
forms, the blank walls of the stages,
and the general lack of CONVERSE
ton.
Although there are prison Sc
quences in Weary River" the story
does not concern itself chiefly with
this atmosphere. The narrative re-
lates the adventures If a singing
convict whose voice over the radio
wins for him the love of a girl and
a new lease on life. Weary River"
is the first picture in which Rich
ard Barthelmess will be seen as
well as heard. In the ViTaphone Sc
quenceS the convict re portrays Will

~RIVOLI-SAN BENITO

William Haines-in a serious role,
a far different William HalneS from
the usually debonnair youngster
who kids" uses slang and disports
himself in festive attitudes
is charming crowds at the RivoIi
theater, San Benito, where he is
now appearing in "a Mans Man"
a Metro-G oldwyn-Mayer produc-
ton with sound synchronization.
It's a charming little satire, rich
in human interest and with a beau
t1ful little love story. The star
in just the opposite of his usual
role. Instead of being a Smart
aleck," he's an earnest young man,
so earnest in fact that others with
smart ideas can tell him anything
and get away with it. He falls
for the chatter Of an assistant film
director and even gives up his
money for phoney stock. He buys
every book and correspondence
school course that foxy book agents
can sell him.
"a Mans Man" was adapted
from Patrick Kearney's famous
stage play of Hollywood life and
directed by the deft Mr.. James
Cruze, who has produced a glorious
satire or HollyWoodites, crammed
with delicate heart interest and has
made of it a little gem IN the way
Of a human document.
There is much hilariuos comedy.
The audience sees picture stars on
parade in a Hollywood premiere
and at play. in a Hollywood bun
galow party, and it shows the laughs
and comedy of Hollywood together
with its disappointments and trag-
edies.

PALACE-HALLEN


With the coming Of sound to the
screen drama there were many who
foretold the climax in the careers
OF silent screen favorites. But if
they included Richard Dix in the
c--egory Of those who would de-
q in popularity when sound be-
came a fiXtu-c in the movie the
alter, they were wrong, all wrong.
For Dix proved that he IS a re-
markable find" for the taIkeis in
his first picture, Nothing But the
TRUTH" which gained him immeas-
urable great renown as an audible
actor almost overnight.
His second film, the 100 per cent
talking Paramount production, THE
Wheel of Life" came to the Palace
theater, Nc Allen, yesterday for a
5 days run, and it brings Dix for
ward in an even stronger light as
one Of the great actors Of the speak
ing silver screen.
THE Wheel of Life" is dashing,
vivid, romantic DINA and Dix, as
the central figure, is the p~ersonifi-
cation of vigorous, soldierly man
hood. The plot is woven about life
in a military outpost Of the British
government in India. 1t concerns
the love which develops between
Dix and Esther RalSton, who PLAYS
the role of the young and unhappy
wife Of the elderly o. P. Heggie,
commanding officer c the military
post. Dix rescues Esther and a par
ty Of friends when they are beset
by hostile native tribesmen who sur
round a monastery Of the Buddhist
priests where the fasteners have
taken refuge. The CT ak is an
amazing and brec htaking one.

Report to Begin Flight
Across Pacific

TACOMA, Wash, July 26.-[Pl-
With plane and aviator ready, only
a favorable weather report was
needed to send Lieut.. Harold Brom-
ley winging his way across the Pa
cific to Tokyo, Japan.
The take-off was "at least "A
hours distant" Lieutenant Broruiey
said last night after scanning an
unfavorable weather report. A few
score persons, however, remained at
the Tacoma air field all night, on
the chance the young aviator might
attempt a surprise start.
In a trial flight yesterday Lieu
tenant Bromley flew over Seattle
and Olympia, remaining aloft an
hour and Is minutes. Fine as silk
was his description Of the way the
big plane performed, but nc did
learn the need for 4 change in his
wireless antenna. When he lowered
them back and entangled them in
the tail skid. A heavier weight will
remedy this, he believes. Another
defect discovered was a compass
which was in error 80 degrees.
Herbert Fahy, chief test pilot of
the Lockheed factory, where the
plane was built, expressed approval
of the ship and preparations for the
take-off with one exception. He
found the ramp, built to give the
plane added momentum on the
take-off, dangerously steep, on his
recommendation il will he lowered.
Fahy preserved a, nley with a
tedraggled rabbits foot for good
luck.
But : want it back when you re-
turn" he stipulated.
