Beloved Bachelor"
At Palace, Well Thought OF.

SIMPLE plot, excellent photography
and good acting by players who
are favorably received by the public
combine to make THE. Beloved
Bachelor" the film Offering at the
Palace Theater, one of those typical
attractions Of either stage or screen
which give satisfaction without SEN
Sational developments.
Admirers of Paul LukaS have an
opportunity to observe his natural
qualities at their best, and in his
representation of a type of the tall
ented leader in important affairs who
also responds to the human side and
displays an admirable emotional life
he reaches the standard that has al
ways been conspicuous on the stage.
Actors who are expert in action have
an easy task, when compared with
one who is compelled to impart to
screen audience the more subtle
qualities Of real character. That Mr..
Lukas should have been selected for
this task and that he disposeS of it
in convincing way is greatly to his
credit.
1t is one of those plays in which
growth from childhood to adult life
is shown by leading character. In
this instance the chief work is upon
the shoulders OF Dorothy Jordan,
while the child character is played
effectively by Betty Van Allen. Miss
Jordan is cast in the difficult posi-
ton of the young person who is
emerging from the interests of child
hood to a more important place in
the world, and must deal with a
man who has been her supposed
parent, but in reality has taken upon
himself the responsibility of caring
for her to save her from a public
institution at the time of the death
of her mother.
Those who would transfer to the
screen some Of the accustomed
beauty of the stage at its best may
well find satisfaction in a study Of
this picture. Its developments are
at all times Shrouded in uncertainty.
A picturesque touch is given by
Vivienne Osborne, as former flance
OF the chief character, who is driven
from him by misunderstanding, and
hovers in the background. torn by
the problem Of deciding between
Reno divorce that will enable her to
marry her former lover, and the lux
ury of keeping her wealthy husband.
The real romance of the story is
em1nently satisfactory as a means of
arousing interest.

Nearly 10000 sheep and goat skins

directors consented to the receiver
ship in order to maintain the assets
intact pending the consummation OF
reorganization plans announced two
weeks ago.
The Detroit Aircraft Corporation is
entirely solvent as is evidenced by the
audit of June 80, 1884," Averill said.
He pointed out that there were net as
sets totaling $2,207,2 26.46, as against
liabilities of 1921 1926. He added that
the condition Of the corporation has
improved since the June 80 statement
was issued.
The plan for reorganization, an.
nounced October by p r. Beasley,
president. contemplates the dissolution
Of FIVE Of the corporations subsidiaries
and the organization of j. two indepen-
dent companies to take over the assets
and business of the parent corpora
tons.

speaking, however, this ranks high
with the best films of the month.
And this. because director Irving
Cummings has caught clouds and
the sun and tall stiff cactus bushes
in their handsomest moments and
given nature cleverly manipulated
boost: Rumor has it that the entire
company, during the filming, was
thrown out of bed every morning
along about $3.50 o'clock so that
Mr.. Cummings could catch the old
sun as it rolled out Of It's own bed.
Certainly no finer early morning and
late evening pictures have been
photographed.
The story-familiar but not over
musty-is the one about Mr.. Cisco,
his troubles with the law, the bank
and the mounted police, and the
mounted police who have their
troubles with Mr.. Cisco, etc. Sand
wiched in between is the comedy
widow and her two little children,
who never suspect that they are
lodging the famed outlaw and who
find more comfort in his twanging
guitar and In his smile than they
seem to have done before.
At any rate love flies twice in at
full widow Mora Lance there is what
a song on the stage describes as
"appetising love" in the form OF
Conchita Montenegro. Miss Monte
negro is a satisfying eyeful and
though not strictly speaking good
looking, nevertheless has that zestful
manner Of acting which brings about
interest II not complete admiration.
Both Mr.. Baxter and Mr.. Lowe, who
WOO her at various times, seem to
enjoy doing it as they do everything
else in the picture. It's a nice COM
Portable romance so much better
than most Of these things that it
almost hurts to think of the others.
Something went wrong yesterday
at the first stage show. so it is per-
haps unfair to report on it. Mr..
Mitchell played his music too fast
and the chorus wouldn't dance fast
enough and one lady gave up alto
gether in the middle of some sort
of leg-twisting. 1t was a curious
exhibition of getting mad on both
sides-and getting nowhere. How
ever, there was the bale of cotton
in the lobby to wonder about as
you came out and Miss Montenegro,
who isn't to be forgotten in a hurry.

When Cantor, for instance, starts on
that "I'll show you my operation"
business, which business was the
high mark of "Whoopee," one be-
gins to wonder If this comic king
is beginning to 60 under or whether
he just needed another two minutes
to fill out the exact hour and q
half.
The nonsense is, however, fairly

swimming pool scene, aided greatly
by the Empire State-legged Chap

is more ludicrous than Mr.. Cantor
as swimming frau, his black shoe
polished hair tucked beneath a wig
and his only costume the Grapes of
shower curtain. AS he marches
boldly through the diSrobing room
his expression is indescribably funny,
and his final plunge in and out of
