1 John BOleS in
 Norris : Seed
State Offers Notable Pic- < ture With All-Star
 Cast

Warner Brothers State presents, as it's feature attraction for the first four days of the theater week and starting to-day one of the big pie lures of the year.
 This is Seed" from the famous best selling novel by Charles c. Nor ris which has been filmed as a super production by the Universal Studios, where last years biggest lfilm, All Quiet on the Western rront." was made.
 A remarkable cast has been as- sembled for Seed" It is headed by John Boles, who appears for the first time in a straight dramatic role, the first production also since the advent of the talking picture in which he does not sing. Opposite Boies is Geneyieve ToDin, who recently came to the screen from the stage. ana scored an immediate success in "A Lady Surrenders," following it up with equal success in other Unl- versal productions, including Free Love- Still another feature palyer Is Lois Wilson, long one of the worlds favorite screen performers. Her work in Seed" as the wife and mother, won her q long term con- tract with the Universal company, it has just been announced.
 Prominent among the players also is Raymond Hackett, one of the best known juveniles in pictures; Bette Davis, recent discovery who shows great promise; Frances Dade, who has appeared in several notable films; Richard Tucker; ZaSu Pitts, foremost screen commedienne, and others.
 The necessities of the story call for five child players and their contribu- tion to the picture is said to be one of the highlights of the production. In fact, the performance by little Dickie Moore, only six years old, has been called by critics, in other cities, the most extraordinary ever given by a child.
 Charles c. Norris novel, from which the screen play was adapted, has aroused much discussion since it's publication.
 In the picture John Boles is seen as writer who has been unable to develop his talents because of the necessity of expending all his efforts toward supporting his family of five children. Lois Wilson plays the part of the wife, and natural mother type. Genevieve Tobin is the sweet heart of Boles' younger days, whose appearance on the scene brings into being the eternal triangle and all the serious problems that result from such situation. The conflict be- tween the two women for the man is portrayed in succession of dra- m a tjc Occ1JrrpncpS
 Seed was directed by John M. Stahl, who is recognized as the in- dustry's leading director of domestic problem dramas and who has pro- duced q picture which is maintained on a high plane of tense interest.
 A special program of accompany ing short subjects has been booked by Manager Julia M. Smith.

Palace Books | Clara Bow
Glorified Flappef Appears x New Dramatic Role in
 s'Kick In"

Clara Bow, herself. is the big kick lin kick In,' the Willard Mack drama on the talking screen, which
 comes to the Fox Poli Palace the ater Sunday for four days. At last the red-headed Tt" star steps out of her customary character and
 flashes on the screen a glimpse of the fiery. Bow emotions.
 kick h." Clara's first dramatic vehicle for the talkies, is a mighty. punchful story of love versus the law. It deals with the struggles of an ex-convict, Regis Toomey, to Ego straight" in spite of the bounding of vicious detective, the pleadings of his underworld friends, and the Temptations of the 'easy" road. Clara is the motivating force in the story, as the sweetheart who opposes charm sto the forces that try to drag 1 the man she loves back to life of crime.
 Toomey, in the leading male role, has, in ''Kick In,' role that offers him many more opportunities for distinction than did his most famous part in "Alibi,'' in which he won coast-to-coast acclaim. He is a fine dramatic actor, with an air of be- | of "Kick In'' is shared between him and Clara. Its success is chiefly theirs.
 But an excellent supporting cast and splendid directorial mind con- tribute added effectiveness to kick In's" drama. Wynne Gibson, Juliette Compton and Leslie Fenton head 6 brilliant array of supporting players. The direction was in the hands Of Richard Wallace. whose uncannys ability for heightening dramatic eff fects, observed in his recent drana with Ruth Chatterton, "The Right to Love-" has here full display.
 'Kick In," long favorite as stage play, is even more effective on the talking screen where the dra- matic changes of scene and the fieeting moods of it's characters are It is swift, tense, emotional drama, q splendid background for the new Bow charms.
 The surrounding program the first half includes a Slim Summerville comedy, "Sargie's Playmate; an Ed die Buzzen novelty, Game the Pawn" Bruce scenic, "A Hunting We Will Go" and Fox Movietone Newsreel. The Newsreel and Kick In" are shown on the giant new Granduscope screen extending across the, stage. The last complete performance starts nightly at nine o'clock daylight saving time.

MOTT PLANT COMPANY TAKES OVER ROAD CONTRACT AT
 MOUNTAIN LAKE PARK.

The work on the roads at Mountain Lake Park at Lake Be- seek, Middlefield, has been in pro- cess since last fall. It has proved a very difficult task in building a winding road that cuts through a virgin forest to the summit of Mount Beseck, as the mountain is one of the highest and most rugged in the state. The work was so difficult that it was necessary to call in the Mott Plant Company. the contrac- tors that recently completed the New Haven Municipal Airport and a great many other large contracts in the state. With their varied as- sortment of equipment, and the re- putation enjoyed by the company it is assured that the roads will be ready for traffic and the enjoyment of property owners in very short time
