Always showing the pick of the pictures from Fox. Metro and Paramount, the FoX-Poli Palace presents Paramount's flaming dramatic star in one of her best pie lures, q play quite different from "The Devils Holiday" and Laugh ter," yet by far the strongest and finest of her three hits this season. Stolen Heaven" is the romance of a boy crook and a cabaret dancer, who find themselves with $2O,000 in stolen funds and the police hot on their trail. Tired of life, the pair make a bargain to go to Palm Beach on one wild fling at life, and when the money is gone, to fade out of the picture via the suicide route. How they fall in love before the week is up. and decide they want to live instead of to die, makes one of stories on the screen this year. Phillips Holmes. the leading man with Miss Carroll in "The Devils Holiday and in Stolen Heaven" :" shows himself one of the outstand- ing male personalities of the screen. This young man is headed straight for stardom with Paramount.

BILE FEATURE BILL OPENING
 AT STRAND TOMORROW.
 In response to popular request Warner Brothers Strand theater an- nounces that 'The Criminal Code" will play a three-day engagement as the feature presentation of a dou- ble feature program starting to-mor- row. This gripping romance is from Martin Flavin's smash Broadway hit which won the Theater club trophy as the best play of the year.
 Audiences at all preview showings have been unanimous in declaring that the screen version more than takes advantage of the dramatic pos- abilities of the sensational play. The story is particularly timely one and one that startled even the blase New Workers. It is promised as a powerful love story with new slant. It is essentially a romance for it is based upon the overpowering love of a youthful convict for the daughter of the warden of a prison The poignant love scenes of the play aroused the emotions of sophisticat- ed Broadway.
 Walter Huston, the star of such well-known motion picture successes as 'The Virginian" and Abraham Lincoln" plays the leading role. Con- stance Cummings plays the feminine lead.
 The companion feature is "Chislers of Hollywood" a riotous comedy.
