TheCourt ofLast Appeal

You are the Judge and the jury. Your verdict is
final There can be no appeal-fOr this is the
High Court OF Public Opinion.
The wares of the world must appear before you
the product of every factory-the merchandise
of every store. Those things that fail to measure
up to your requirements are quickly condemned
to oblivion
The manufacturer who advertises deliberately
places his merchandise on trial He openly courts
your critical inspection. He invites comparison.
He directs your attention to his goods and then
forces those goods to stand on their own merits.
If he were not sure of his wares he would not
dare to advertise. For advertising would put
him to test he could not meet and thus hasten
the end of his business career. It would be busi
ness suicide.
You can depend on the man who advertises. He
KNOWS his product is good.
That's one reason why it pays to read the adver
tisements yon find in this paper. It is through
advertising that you are able to keep in touch
with the GOOD things that progressive business
men are spending their money to introduce and
to keep before you

LAWS SHADOW
 STARS p 0 WELL AT C0LISE J N
Natalie Moorhead and Mar ion Shilling Are Fea-
 tured Women

Two women are the motivating forces in William Powells latest starring picture, Shadow of the Law" which will show at the Coli scum theatre tonight One of them the blonde Natalie Moorhead, holds Powells future in her hand; the other, beautiful brown-haired Mar ion Shilling, Paramounts latest contract player is the girl he loves and cannot woo.
 Shadow of the Law" brings Will liam Powell to the Coliseum screen in an even more thrilling, more realistically stirring picture than Street of Chance"
 Here Powell is an innocent, high ly cultured man convicted of a crime which he did not commit, sentenced to life in prison, and free, after breath-taking escape, to find the woman who can prove him innocent.
 The story of Shadow of the Law" is desperate fight of one man against the unwarranted claim of society on his life. It's a man. hunt from the side of the hunted, and it ends in a glorious happiness that is triply accented because of all the suspense that precedes it. Story Written by Marcin
 Max Marcin, well-known Broad way playwright, wrote the story, from a novel by John A. Moroso, and injected into it all the fire and pulse-tingling drama which made his Cheating Cheaters," "Si- lence" and Three Live Ghosts" high-spots of the Broadway stage. His climactic scene in which Pow els desperate heroism ends for ever the Shadow of the Law" is one of the most powerful ever pie tured on the screen.
 Natalie Moorhead, who plays the blackmailer, was seen with Powell in the S. s. Van Dine thriller, 'The Benson Murder Case" She is an accomplished and experienced ac- tress. Marion Shilling has had a successful career on the stage and has appeared in several film hits. Regis Toomey, seen as Powell's brother in Street of Chance" is also in the cast.
 Added attractions are Bert Roach in Down With Husbands" a com- edy; Vitaphone acts and Para mount News.

CAPITOL SHOWS
 CHANEy TONIGHT IN "UNH1OLY g
Man of Many Faces Will Be Heard as Man of
 Many Voices

Lon Chaneys first and last talk ing picture, "The Unholy Three ? will begin showing tonight at the Capitol Theatre The man of many faces" will be introduced to screen, audiences as the man of many voices"
 The picture, an adaptation of the c. A. Robbins story done by Chaney as silent film several years ago, was directed by Jack Conway The supporting cast in cludes Lila Lee, Elliott Nugent, who together with his father, J, c. Nugent, also wrote the dialogue, Harry Earles, John Milan, Ivan Linlcw, Clarence Burton and Crau- ford Kent.
 Parrots are Initiated
 The principal scenes of the pie ture are laid first in the environ ment of circus side-show section and later in a bird and animal shop in which Chaney in the dis guise of an old woman hides from the police who are seeking him for murder. In the bird and animal shop sequences Chaney reveals new angle of his versatile talents, that of ventriloquism by which he makes the parrots talk" By the same method he makes the dummy in the side show sequences not only talk but sing Sweet Rosie o. Grady"
 It is said that when the side show scenes were filmed the Metro Goldwyn- Mayer studio lots looked like the combined Barnum- Bailey and Ringing Brothers Circus grounds what with freaks, animals, trapeze performers, hula hula danc- CTS and other typical details of a gaudy side show sector. Real Circus Freaks
 Chaney in an endeayor to make the atmosphere as realistic as pos sible insisted that actual circus freaks be employed in consequence of which Al Copeland, head of Copeland's Circus, secured the serv- ices of Birdie Thompson, five-hun- dred pound fiat girl" Harry Kane, living skeleton" the Great De Garro, fire eater" and a number of others.
 None of these circus performers had ever appeared before a cam era and several of them could not be induced to act until they had satisfied superstitious requirements. De Garro, for instance, would not eat fire until he had repeated a magic formula in French to make sure that he wouldn't burn his tongue. Fire-eaters, he declared, had done this for centuries. Tat Girl Walks Miss Thompson, the fat girl, wouldn't go on until she had walk ed three times around the cameras. Motion pictures, she said, were something new in her business and no new business should be em- parked upon without this precau- tion.
 Dramatic spots in "The Unholy Three" include the fight in the side-show after the ventriloquist attempts to pick the pockets of an onlooker; the mysterious mur- der on Christmas Eve; the scene in which the embittered midget sets loose an orang-outang so that he can attack the side-show giant and Chaney's final scene in the courtroom where he reveals him. self by tearing off the old woman's disguise.
