WfIAT7TIE PRESS A GENTS SAY
WARNER HIT, THE STAR W.T. NESS" CLOSING RUN TONIGHT
 AT WARMERS STATE THEATEIi

One of the finest pictures of the year and one which this reviewer heartily recommends as timely thrilling talking screen entertain ment is "The Star Witness" which closes 8 successful four day run tonight at the State.
 Its grim theme-the danger which we all incur of innocently falling prey to the evil characters who turk in every town, big and little-is made less grim by the characters to whom we are intro duced, and which we feel we have always known and always want to know.
 The high-speed action begins when Gran'pa Summerill. the Man Who Knew Lincoln (you must have seen Chic Sale play this part in Yaudeville) gets a forty-eight-hour leave from the Soldiers Home, to visit this married daughter and her family, in town. The family, in cluding Pa Leeds and Ma, the pert young daughter, the grown sons, the two small boys and, of course, Gran'pa-are at supper when they are called to the window by shots, just in time to see a. man shoot another. The thugs rush through the Leeds house, followed by police and escape.
 This puts the family in the posi- tion of being the only ones who saw the shooting. The gangsters beat up Pa Leeds, and intimidate the rest of the family to prevent their testifying before the district attorney. Finally the little boy is kidnapped.
 It is Gran'pa Summerill. in his Grand Army blue, with his shrill fife in action, who wanders about the haunts of the gang-frees the kid, foils the thugs, gives some live tips to the cops-and finally acts as star witness. But 1t is the amaz- ing things that happen along the way-the thrills-the fun and the pathos which makes "The Star Wit ness" so compelling.
 Walter Huston is up to his high standard In his portrayal of the district attorney; Chic Sale is, or course, inimitable as Gran'pa Sum merrill, star witness, Frances Starr is fine as gran'pa's daughter and mother of the kidnapped boy. others in the capable cast are Sally Blanc, Grant Mitchell, Edward J. Nugent, Dicky Moore, Ralph lnce, Tom Dugan, Russell Hopton, Fletcher Norton, Robert Elliott, Guy D'En- nery, George Ernst, Mike Donlin. Noel Madison, Ed Deering and Nat Pendleton.

 I recall that afternoon with un- usual clearness, so it must have made an indelible mark on my memory I sat with a group of dark ladies in an enormous dark dining room. Out in the hall there were singing and tremulous voices recalling the virtues of the dead.

 Nancy took him in her arms and discovered that his knees were swollen. She was frightened at once and had visions of tubercu- losis of the bone. water on the knee and land knows what all. That very day she made an ap- pointment with the doctor.
