 Tais thrilling story of the regen- eration of a man and woman, one crushed by bitter circumstances, the other demoralized by wild living, has Tallulah Bankhead and Fred eric March in it's leading roles.
 The story is filled with dramatic incidents. Its vivid scenes reach frora the tropical atmosphere of Panama to the noise and hurry of sophisticated New York.

W4AT 7Y4E PRESS AGENTS SAY
Daughter of the Dragon' and "Everything's Rosie''-Double
 Bill at the Strand


 Two hit talking pictures con- feature programs of the year are to be found at Warmer Brothers Strand theater starting this aft ernoon and continuing until Friday night. Sessue Hayakawa returns to the screen as does Anna May Wong in a new episode of the fascinating Sah Rohmer series filmed by Para mount at "The Daughter of the Dragon. Warner Oland again plays Dr Flu Manchu. This is Sessue pearance. He was an idol in the days of the old talkies.
 For those who like romance action evolved from lurking mys- and says big things to any movie audience.
 Miss Wong is an original actress of obvious personable points, who surrenders to her dying fathers wish, and drops a glamorous point of vantage in London's theatrical Armament to project a program of vengeance. With all his fiendish ap- DllCdLlOH OI CIleLLiASbIy anu PSyShOA- ogy, Flu Manchu was not a more resolute menace than the pretty daughter proves to be. Loved by an exhalted gentleman of her own race, loving an English nobleman, she allows her heart dictates no chance to defeat the accomplish ment of her oath.
 The scene of action spins from Limehouse, London's gay white way and murky Thames river, to lux urious estates of the titled. There are plenty of secret panels and passageways, omnibus shadows, and a climax that will grasp your heart tighter than baby hands can take hold of a proffered finger or doo-dad.
 Supporting roles of note are en- acted by Holmes Herbert, Frances Dade Bramwell Fletcher, Nella Walker, Nicholas Soussanin and Lawrence Grant.
 The companion feature is "Ev- erything's Rosie" with those two clown princes of joy, Wheeler and Woolsey In the leading roles. It is a comedy packed with laughs and clever dialogue from beginning to end. This bill is unquestionably one of the finest seen in Water bury this year.

BARBARA STANWYCK
 SUPERB IN "ILLICITe' AT LYRIC

Last nights audience at the Lyric theater enthusiastically re- ceived Illicit" an ultra-modern sex drama treating of a question that might have been objectionable but for the delft direction of MT Mayo and the superlative acting of Barbara Stanwyck as the girl who believes that marriage destroys love.
 Miss Stanwyck makes every sit- ution understandable and capti- vating feminine, dominating the play whether on or off the screen. Not but what her support is good. James Rennie is the adored lover whom she marries under protest. Claude Gillingwater for the first time in the writer's memory is cast as a courtly old gentleman father of the groom.

HAST DAY OF NANCY CARROLL IN ssPERSONAL MAID"
 AT FOX POLL PALACE

Today is the last day of Nancy Carroll in, Personal Maid" at the Fox Poli Palace, starting tomorrow for four days engagement, will offer a double feature program, "The Mad Parade" with Evelyn Brent, Irene Rich, Lilyan Fash man and Louise Fazenda, the second feature will be Buster Keaton in "The Sidewalks of New York"
 Some sort of a record for back ground or directorial experience is held by William Beaudine, who di- rected the Paramount release, "The Mad Parade" which opens at the Fox Poli Palace Thursday for four days engagement.
 Beaudine, since first meeting the light of day in New York city. three or four years before Dewey began strafing the imperial nau- tical emissaries of Spain, has hit the high spots of all that is to be hit along producer-way.
 He began in the New York stu dios of Biograph in 1909, that com pany thinking enough of ability and effort to elevate him from its cutting and editing department to a directorship. A director he has since remained, with Kalem, Uni versal, Triangle, Christie, Goldwyn, Fox, First National, United Artists, Mary Pickford Productions, War ners, Famous Players, and Metro Goldwyn.
 For several of these companies he worked again and again, his re- suits justifying and making well come his services to any company which has an especially difficult or different problem. Handling nine actresses, each jealous of her rights as a featured performer, was problem enough in "The Mad Parade"
 Evelyn Brent, Irene Rich, Louise Fazenda, Lilyan Tashman, Marce- line Day, June Clyde, Fritzi Ridge way, and the Heating Twins were perfectly harmonized by Beaudine on his newest development for Paramount.
 The story is said to be thrilling one of the wartime adventures of nine girls who thought serving the fighting men on the western front as a canteen unit, would be quite a lark.
 Beaudine is a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and the Hollywood M. P. D. A., two of Hollywood's classic orders for those who have attained recognition in the making of bigger and better photoplays.
 In between times, when he finds those rare intervals, he rates fish ing, hunting and golf as his prime Hobbies.
 The co-feature will be Buster Keating in his latest comedy riot, full length feature, sidewalks of New York" with Anita Page and Cliff Edwards. The Fox Movie tone News and Novelties will com plete the program.

IN HOLLYWOOD
BY DAN THOMAS NEA Service Writer

Hollywood.-High in the hills above Hollywood. living alone with her cat and dog, is one of the out standine screen sensations of the past year.
 Elissa Landi. who leaped to star dom after making only two pie lures. is the young lady who seems to get great joy out of living the fife of hermit. Of course, she isn't exactly alone. There are two aeryants, cook and gardener. And then htere are the cat and dog. the puppy having ben acquided only c few days ago. But for the most part Elissa is alone. She likes the solitude, too-her one hide-out from the nerve-wrcaking activity that only Hollywood can know. And at the same tmie she revels in that activity from which she likes to hide.
 Although a native born Austrian. Miss Landi is decidedly English in her speech and American at heart. She is the granddaughter of En- press Elizabeth, wife of the late Empress Franz Joseph of Austria. The emperor refused to recognize Elissa's mothre, who was born to the Empress Elizabeth. While still Al fairly young girl, Elissa's mother married Richard Kuhnelt, Elissa' s father, who died a short time later. Mrs. Kuhnelt then married Coun Zenardi Landi. who adopted Elissa. 1. While Elissa still was a very young girl, the entire family moved to England, where she received her entire education and later mar married John c. Lawrence. Lon- don attorney. Incidentally, al- sthough they are separated by some 5000 miles the couple still are very 7 happily married. In fact, Elissa al this very moment is bound for London to see him and hr mother She will have about a two months vacation there before returning here for her next film.
 One has only to meet Miss Landi 10 understand her quick success on the silver screen. She is one of the most charming girls it has been our pleasure to meet during a good many years of knocking about the f1lu village. In addition she has braing--a very important quality ir scre&n actors and actresses to-day And she is such a good actress that

 "A character in story should not be changed around so that 1t will fit any particular person" |" Elissa once told me. "The actor must adapt himself to the charac- ter. Yet the character can't always be played as the author intended. It must be portrayed as the actor visualizes it. have followed that policy from the very first day I started in pictures and have found 1t rather successful"

PATENTED PROCESS BRINGS OUT FINER ]
 FLAVOR IN COFFEE
Controlled Roasting Gives
 Hills Bros. Coffee Flavor 4
 No Other Coffee Has Fl

As everybody knows, the favor of coffee varies according to the way it is brewed. Especially dis appointing is the result when coffee stays on the fire too long or is taken off too soon.
 Similar unsatisfactory results can occur in the roasting of coffee. If the blend is roasted too long or not enough there is a noticeable difference in flavor between the two lots. Even with watchful care such variation is exceedingly difficult to prevent when coffee is roasted in large quantities.
 Realizing this, Hills Bros. origi- mated and patented continuous process which roasts coffee few pounds at time, instead of in bulk. The quantity of coffee passing into the roaster does not vary. The speed of operation and the tempera- ture remain the same with the result that Hills Bros. Coffee is absolutely uniform and has a flavor no other coffee has.
 Hills Bros. Coffee never "goes stale" because it is packed in vacuum. By this process air, which destroys the flavor of coffee, is taken from the can and kept out. Or- dinary cans, even if air-tight, do not keep coffee fresh. Ask for Hills Bros. Coffee by name and look for the Arab-the trade-mark-on the can. Sold by grocers every- where.
