COLISEUM BILLS HOLIDAY WITH
 NOTABLE CAST
Thoroughbred" Starring Wesley Barry, Shows
 Tonight Only

Holiday" Pathe's screen version of Philip Barry's successful stage play of the same name will begin showing tomorrow night at the Col iseum theatre.
 Thoroughbred" a thrilling race horse drama, starring Wesley Bar " will be presented tonight only at the popular playhouse.
 Holiday" is an emotional drama of high society.
 The dramatic moments are re- heved throughout the action by comedy, while the dialogue is com pact and witty.
 Story of Play
 Here is story of two sisters of high social station and unlimited wealth who fall in love with the same man-a young man with a high ideal, who scorns money and hopes to enjoy life while he is young rather than grub for wealth until life has no further joys to offer. But he loved a girl who failed to appreciate his aim, and the sister who secretly loves him seems to be de trop until the de- nouement which comes almost without warning. Here is drama of human lives which might have been taken from any cross section of well-to-do America.
 Cast Is Notable
 In congenial roles are Ann Hard ing, Mary Astor, Edward Everett Horton, Robert Ames and Hedda Hopper-artists of merit. The sup port includes Elizabeth Forester, Hallam Cooley, Monroe Owsley William Holden, Creighton Hale, Mabel Forrest and Mary Elizabeth Forbes.
 The production was made under the supervision of E. B. Derr and was directed by Edward H. Grif- filth. The music was directed by Josiah Euro.

|C ARB0 TO STAR
 IN ROMANCE AT CAPITOL SUNDAY
Be Yourself Starring Fan. nie Brice, Shows Last
 Times Tonight

Greta Garbo's second all-talking picture, Romance" adapted from the noted stage play by Edward Sheldon, which made record runs in New York and London, will be- gin showing at the Capitol the ater tomorrow, the first presenta- ton being at the matinee perform ance.
 Fannie Brice, in Be Yourselfr' will be offered for the last times | tonight.
 In Romance" in the supporting cast are Lewis Stone, Gavin Cor don, Elliott Nugent, Florence Lake, Clara Blandick, Henry Armetta, Mathilde Comont and Countess Nina de Liguoro.
 The story of Romance" depicts the frustrated romance of a foreign opera prima donna It is laid in the picturesque setting of New York as it appeared in 1863.
 ~'c A@NPSAAcS kcRtAA NA
 As is customary with Metro Goldwyn-Mayer in respect to Miss Garbo's productions, no expense was spared in equipping the picture with realistic atmosphere even to the extent of reproducing in detail an entire area of New York's his toric Washington Square with its park, aristocratic mansions and its other interesting details. A second spectacular setting on which a small fortune was spent, is a replica of New York's old Academy of Music in whose anticipated halls the dramatic climax takes place Backgrounds are Secondary
 The extr avagant backgrounds, however, are of only secondary in- terest as compared with the cp- portunities given Miss Garbo by the plot which affords scope for her emotional acting. In keeping with the period. Miss Garbo will be seen In picturesque Old-faSnlOned cCstumes-crinolines and ihoopskirts being all the rage then.
 Miss Garbo undertook the study of Italian for Romance" in which as the foreign opera star she is again given an excuse for her slight accent which in the present case has been disguised with Latin phraseology.

A special session of the legis-
lature was called by Governor
Albert G. Porter in 1881, primar-
lily to effect a revision of the tax
laws. The legislators had spent
almost the entire session consid-
ering new sources Of revenue and
recodif1cation of taxing laws
without result.
The day before the regular SEES

following problems still remained
to be dealt with:
General appropriation bill;
specific appropriations; bill to
levy annual tax for raising rev.

for continuing work on the new
statehouse; the bill revising the
taxation system, and many other
questions of more or less import
