ment terminates.
Second, Japan reserves the right to
arrange her submarine program by re-

tinuous employment of skilled dock
yard labor specializing therein.

talking Al Jolsonl The star of ''The Jazz Singer" and The Singing Fool" is here again in play in which he reaches even greater heights-"Say It With Songs"
 Davey Lee is with him.
 In this tender, enthralling dra- ma Jolson plays the part of Joe Lane, former prize fighter, but now a writer of songs and radio enter tainer. The world looks rosy to him and he believes that Phillips, the man who is backing him, is doing so for friendship sake, but finds out that it is to win the love of Lanes wife.
 Infuriated with jealousy Joe at Jacks the man, who falls, strikes his head on the curb and dies. Joe is sentenced to long term in Sing Sing. Feeling that his wife will suffer from the disgrace, he urges her to divorce him, telling her that he no longer cares for her.
 This she does, putting their child in a boys school, and taking po- sition as nurse in the office of a surgeon who was a former lover. This is the starter.
 Davey Lee is his own delectable baby self, Marian Nixon is exquis- ite as the young wife and mother, but it is Jolson who makes of Say It With Songs" a masterpiece, ut terly unlike the masterpieces of other geniuses. You really "ain't seen nothin'" until you have seen Jolson's Say It With Songs"

 Guaranteed to be a 100 per cent laugh picture, this gay First Ma tional-Vitaphone talking comedy which stars Jack Mulhall, will ar rive soon at the Coliseum, to de- light and amuse local theatre -go- CTS.

WILLIAM HAYNES IS
 AT PALACE TONIGHT

The stages greatest play brought to the screen by the movies most popular comedian.
 That is William Haines' new star ring picture, Alias Jimmy Valen- tine" again tonight at the Palace with talking sequences.
 Haines plays another of the gor- geously human roles which won him such great popularity in "Ex- cess Baggage" The wise-cracking comedian has added dose of hu- manness and pathos to his char acterization which lifts him into the forefront of screen acting.
 The story is the old familiar one that has brought tears and laugh ter to audiences in nearly every theatre in America for a genera tion. Haines is the wise crook who upsets the police departments of half dozen cities and virtually de- fies arrest.
 He is aided in his nefarious as saults on society by two of the funniest crooks the screen has ever seen, Karl Dane and Fully Marsh all Opposing them is the detec- tive played by Lionel Barrymore, a grim and seemingly heartless per- sonality that yet is as natural and human as any role the great actor has as yet enacted.
