Tough Luck Author

Lon CLANCY has clicked like a
house afire in his first talkie, 1.-THE
Unholy Three" and it is Mildred
Morris who brings to this desk the
unhappy plight of Tod Robbins
who wrote this fantastic screen
tale.
It seems that Author Robbins is
the son of well-to-do parents who
never thought he would amount to
much through his Ii erary output.
His father finally agreed to ii.
nance the aspiring writer until
such time as he recei ed his first
check for story. "The Unholy
Three was purchased a. a novel
cite and published by MunSey's.
.Getro-C CSoldwyn saw swell movie
in the .ution and cabled young
Robbins, sojourning in his Nice
villa, for the silent screen rights.
It WIS then that Autht Robbins
discovered he had signed away his
Hollywood equity when he ac-
cepte $500 for his story. Neither
does he cut in on the talkie rights.
It all seem jus, too bad but
young authors, like others, must
live and learn.
Chaney's picture is an early
booking for the Columbia and If it
is as good as Michael Uoewl Cul-
len thinks it is, may enjoy three
weeks on p Street.

MARY LAWLOR derworld.
AS Lucky" Larry Sheldon, Dix
controls gang largely through
his personality and his phenome-
nal luck with dice. Whenever he
smells his carnation the dice seem
to catch the significance.
After one of his henchmen is
killed, Larry goes ito get" the man
responsible for the deed. He
chokes him and leaves thinking
he has murdered the assassin.
While on a train he meets a
man named Ted Walters. doctor
of philosophy, whose reputation
as a reformer is widespread. The

Her brother Tommy gets in
debt to ACE" Martin. who uses
this as a means Of getting bet

finally pits his skill against that

Martin exposes Larry to the
police, who come only to tell
Martin that they wanted him for
something. and that Larry was
free. as one of the rival gang
confessed to the strangling that
Larry was accused of.
While the days of the wild
west show have long since depart
ed, the movie public still likes a
good fight, and the one between
Larry and Martin (Matthew
Betz) provides just that and
shows much more action than
the last few fights of the CEN
tury."
James Neill, who depicts the
girls father. is good in the few
brief moments he has, as is VIII

Of the brother.
To George Cooper goes most of
the minor laurels for his consist

BIG HOUSE" Is
HOLD OVER
FEATURE

The big House" is a gripping,
potent ale of prison life, an
overwhelming picture Of the aw-
full fate of those behind bars.
This Metros Goldwyn-Mayer pro-
duction. directed by George Hill,
is masterpiece. So real, so
vivid, that it is rather a pitiful
glimpse Of those unfortunate hui
man beings herded into the
crowded penitentiaries Of the day,
than a picture.
The Columbia Theater presents
the big House" for a second
week. Wallace Beery, as Butch,
a hard-boiled but human crimi-
nal, is perfect. words are made
quate. Chester Morris, as Nor.
gan, cellmate though of a diff
ferent ilk; is excellent. Robert
Montgomery, the youngster with
a yellow streak, gives a tremen-
douS performance, and Louis
Stone, George F. Marion and j.
G. Nugent enact lesser parts with
acument and understanding.
Leila Hyams is the girl, a minor
character which she portrays ad-
mirably.
Details of prison life, reactions,
conditions are graphically de-
picted. Every character Is a
type, the whole an aggregation
Of humanity to cause one to stop
and ponder. Not a pleasant
show, thought it is intersperSed
with humorous touches, but a
master picture which all adults
would do well to see.
Added features include an over
ture in the mood of the feaCure,
with Claude Burrows conducting,
a Hardy-Laurel So-called comedy,
and an interesting Hearst Metro
tone news reel-H. X.

NEvADA's ONLY
 MILLIONAIRE BEGAN
 ON $5O GRuB5TAKE

RENO, June 27, (P) Successively cowboy, miner, boom town" bank CT and hotel owner, George Wing field, whose fortune grew from a $50 grub stake, is now credited with being the only millionaire in the only state which has only one.
 Nevada's lone seven figured cap- italist is president of 20 anks, op- crates a chain of hotels, owns a number of mineral properties and possesses agricultural interests.
 Wingfield represents his state as Republican National Committee man, is a regent of the State Uni versity and maintains the only rac- ing stables in the state.
 Twenty five years ago he was a cowboy in southeastern Oregon.
 The late Senator George F. Nix on, Winnemucca banker put up the $50 which became the foundation of Wingfield's wealth.
 It was a profitable investment for the Senator, for young Wing field, with a flair for business, eventually acquired control of the flourishing Goldfield Consolidated mine. He declared Nixon in deal and they are reputed to have divid- ed $30,OOO,OOO in profits
 Preferring to remain in the back ground, Wingfield has declined a .U. s. Senatorship
 When defalcations of $516,000 were discovered in the State Treas ury in 1927, Wingfield deposited a personal check for that amount in his Carson Valley Bank, a State fund depository, as loan to avert financial embarrassment to Neva- Ida and possible unfavorable reac- tion on business and industry.
