novel entitled Dear Sooky," which

locale is the familiar one of

The new picture is chiefly con-
cerned with the attempts of Gen

army" to show up the Snobbish
Boone Boys, a cadet corps recruited
from more wealthy section of the

Important among the new adj
ventures of Sooky and Skippy is
the episode where the two boys I'M

ballyhooing the candidacy of the
man who is the rival for the mayor
atty chair in opposition to Skippy's
father. When the boys discover
their "traitorous" participation,

return when they are frightened by
the mysterious noises of the night.

time to comfort his little pals dying
mother and to keep the knowledge
of her death from the smaller boy,

The story brings the spite new
lyweds into adjoining bridal suites
at a French hotel. After rowing
with their new spouses, Amanda
and Ellyot discover each others
presence and elope to chalet in
Switzerland.

Miss Shearer as the possessor of a
singing voice. In a novel duet with
Montgomery she sings, Some Day
I'll Find YOU"

turing a new talkie version of Zane
Grey's THE Rainbow Trail" with
George O'Brien as the star, and six
acts of RKO vaudeville headed by
Scooter" Lowry is the show open
ing at the Lyric today.
George O'Brien has long been a
favorite western star and since Fox
has been transferring the popular
western novels by Zane Grey to the
talking screen this virile movie hero
has been given the leading roles.
So it is natural to expect that
OBrien would be selected to play
the featured part in THE Rainbow

avenger.
O'Brien is supported in 1.-THE
Rainbow Trail" by Cecilia Parker,

maron," J. M. Kerrigan and James
Kirkwood.
This season Scooter" Lowry, the
beloved scamp of the screen is going
it alone. The original tough guy
of Hal Roach'S Our Gang comedies,
heads the stage show.
The nischievous Irish kid, first
gained prominence in a big New
York benefit conducted by Gus Ed
wards and others.
In his current act Scooter" sings
new songs and dances.
The Colby &c Murry Revue is an
otoher important event. on the stage
show. When "Ballyhoo," Arthur
Hammerstein's last production,
closed on Broadway, Jack Colby
and Patricia hurry, who had scored
emphatic personal hits in the show,
stepped out of musical comedy into
vaudeville.
There are five other players in
the revue. Among these stars are
BabS La Vale, who was imported

revue; Margie Barrett, who scored
in the first and second editions of

Kerrigan Knows It Now

When j. M. Kerrigan, returned to
Hollywood with the George O'Brien
company after filming The Rain
bow Trail" he was heard to wonder
why the Rainbow Trail pack mules,
even though full of nice soft hay,
are so uncomfortably hard. KERR
gan with the rest of the company
spent two weeks making the pic
lures outdoor scenes in the re-
hottest part of the Grand Canyon,
where travel was only possible on
