TOURIST SEASON
 SHOWS LOSS

Paris.-The. conclusion Of the summer tourist season has revealed that at least one-third of the vol ume of traffic, customary to this period, has fallen off.
 Americans came this year in de- creasing numbers and the eco homie situation was further re- sponsible for a decrease in traffic when the great influx of British travellers for the autumn season re- ported a sharp decline owing to the fall of the pound sterling.
 Transatlantic ships have piled the sea throughout the summer with only partially filled cabins, and even the cheaper tourist cabin and third class berths are notice- ably empty, especially at a time when thousands of students and those of moderate means crowd the east bound liners.
 It is estimated. that the ships have carried far less than half their lists, the figures averaging, in some cases, as low as 30 and 40 per cent of the normal traffic. Paris tourist agencies have re- ported great losses in profits, and some of the smaller touring off, fioes have been forced to close their doors. The depression Is felt throughout the country and espe- cially in the roadhouse business, which deals mainly with automo- bile parties and privately conduc- ted tourists.

What happens when free soul" is trapped in a gilded cage Is he willing to relinquish his in- dependence for the added mate- rial comforts he gains. or does he become smothered under 1t all? Nine times out of ten, the craving for independence is stronger than the desire for possessions but very often the temptation is strong to get a taste of how the other half lives.
 In Platinum Blonde" the sophisticated comedy-drama com ing to Warmers State on Wednes- day, Robert Williams, carefree. careless reporter, marries a beau- tiful heiress who has fallen In love with him because he is SO different from the men in her set.

WALTER HUSTON THRILLS STATE AUDIENCES IN NEW
 HIT 1.-THE RULING VOICE.

I Warner Brothers State has an ace hit to offer it's patrons to-day and tomorrow in ''The Ruling Voice"-The much-heralded and sensational expose of the big busi- ness operations of those who grow fabulously rich by cornering the food supplies of the country-and by using even more relentless-if more suavely disguised-methods than those employed by gangs of less "class.'
 The story, which was written by Rowland V. and Donald w. Lee, Is transcription of an unbeliev- able drama that was staged in actual life in one of our big towns not so long ago.
 Walter Huston was chosen by the producers as the man who could best portray the grim role of Bannister-czar of the milk trust. MT Huston plays the part without any ow the trappings of the con- ventional politician. Outwardly he is a polished gentleman and patri- otic citizen. Only those who come before him as enemies of his graft ing organization know the ruthless cruelty of which he is capable.
 Of this group Is one Bailey whose son has been killed and whose small milk business has been wrecked. If Bannister grills him, through slot in a closed door Bailey gets his chance later, to repay with interest.
 Bannister's lovely daughter who has been gently brought up abroad, returns and announces her engage ment to a rich young society man but when she finds the truth about her father, she breaks the engage ment and leaves home to make her own living.
 Bannister has met, through his wealth, a woman of the world, who has 8 small son and who has been humanly interested in him without knowing the depth of his corrup- tion. He manipulates things so that his daughter may live with Mrs stanton, as governess for the child.
 Citizens band together to break the power of the milk trust. Ban ister recalls the past misdeeds of one of these men, and is the cause of his suicide. Others are routed but a few stand firm.
 The big milk war is on. Machine guns riddle the carloads of milk the city is without the main need of its children-Plans are made to kidnap Bannister's daughter counterplans to steal away the lit- tie son of Mrs Stanton. Bannister begins to see him self as he really is-but his henchmen threaten his life if he goes back on them. It is when he decides to call the war off and to try to atone for the havoc he has wrought--that his strange, mad enemy, Bailey re- turns-and but that is the story.
 The support of MT Huston is magnificent, including Loretts Young, Doris Kenyon, David Man. ners, John Halliday, Dudley Digges Gilbert Emery, Willard Robertson and the amazing child actor Douglas Scott. Rowland V. Lee directed.
 "The Ruling Voice" terrific as ar arraignment of this present. day evil Is also intensely human and ! dramatic. You should put 1t or your list of pictures that must be seen.
 An excellent program of short subjects accompanies the feature picture including Bing Crosby Columbia Broadcasting Systems new aoce crooner in a marvellous comedy.
