Attractions At Theatres
"HONKY TONK" AT
 COLISEUM SUNDAY

Sophie Tucker, the perennial red hot mamma" of the variety stage, is featured in "Honky Tonk," War ner Bros. latest talking, singing Vitaphone production which comes to the Coliseum Sunday.
 In this brilliant picture she is the center of the riotout gayety of the 'Honky Tonk" night club in New York-the singer of rollicking songs in the floor show" and the bright particular star who is the principal attraction of the cabaret. And all the while she dreams of the daughter whom she is keeping at a fashionable school and in ignor- ance of her mothers real life.
 Sophie sings a number of her most famous songs, as well as some that will be famous.
 Sophie Tucker is truly in her ele- ment in "Honky Tonk" but it is shown that her hidden but most en- crossing interest is her grown daughter, who has been in a Euro pean boarding school from child hood and does not know that her mother is anything less convention al than sedate concert singer.
 There comes a day when the truth separates mother and daugh- ter and a note of tragedy shriekf above the roar of jazz.
 Miss Fuckers supporting cast includes George Duryea, Audrey Ferris, Mahlon Hamilton, Lila Lee and John T. Murray, and the pro- duction was directed by Lloyd Ba- con director of Al Jolson's sensa' tional success, The Singing Fool.

GIRL IN GLASS CAGE"
 LAST TIMES, PALACE

It's drama time at the Palace Theatre, where "The Girl in the Glass Gage" climaxes a very good bill. Heavy drama at that, but so packed with fine histrionic per- formances and so well constructed that it does not get too heavy for the spectator.
 Then, too, Loretta Young and Carroll Nye are seen in a love story of very appealing nature in The Girl in the Glass Cage" which IS James Gruen's adaptation of the George Kibbe Turner novel. Ralph Dawson did very creditable job of directing the, First National-vita- phone picture.
 The rest of the cast are all line performers, but they are also all villains. That's where the heavy drama comes in, and no pun ln- 1 tended. George Stone, Matthe" Betz, Lucien Littlefield, Ralph Lew lis, Julia Swayne Gordon and Chas Sellon, with some other good play CTS of nearly equal renown, appear in wide variety of characteriza- tions, all, from the heroine's view point, sinister.
 A clever basic idea intensifies the drama, and gives the story it' title.

COMEDY IS FEATURE
 SHOWING AT COLISEUM

A pretty bride who wants twin beds and a trip to Europe causes side-splitting troubles and compli- cations galore in Twin Beds,' the First National picture starring Jack Mulhall, which opened at the Coli scum last night and is showing again tonight.
 Twin Beds' is adapted from the famous stage farce by Margaret Mayo, and Salisbury Field, and through the medium of the screen is even funnier than the original. It was directed by Alfred Santell, and features an all-comedy cast, without a single villain.
 Patsy Ruth Miller, charming leading lady of the films, plays op- posite Mulhall in the story, appear ing as the young bride whose ideas caused all the trouble.
 Aiding in the fun-making are Eddie Gribbon, Armand Kaliz, Edy- the Chapman, Gertrude Astor, Ben Hendricks, Alice Lake, Knute Brick son, Jocelyn Lee, Nita Marian and many others.
 Twin Beds" is built for laughing purposes only, and is said to pro- vide Mulhall with one of the fun niest vehicles this popular actor ! has had in his entire srceen career
