Four Feathers Will Be Presented Tonight at
 Popular Theatre

With -Four Feathers" showing tonight only at the Coliseum The ater, NO, No, Nanette" will be the featured attraction tomorrow night
 The screen production of No No, Nanette," will contain song hits from the original stage show as well as many new numbers which have already attained great popularity since the recent release of this colorful First National pie ture.
 Tea For Two" and T Want To Be Happy" from the footlight pro- duction will be heard in the Vita phone edition, sung by chorus of l50 and the two featured leads, Bernice Claire and Alexander Gray
 Among Best Sellers
 These two songs were among the countrys best sellers when NO, Mo-. Nanette' was having it's sen- sational success on Broadway
 The big number of the picture, however, is "King of the Air" by Eddie Ward and Al Bryan, one of Hollywood's most harmonious song writing teams. Three other num- bers based on lavish scenes in the film are Dancing on Mars" by Michael H. Cleary, Ned Washing ton and Herb Magidson; ''The Jap anese Ballet" by M. Jerome and Herman Ruby; and "The Dance of the Wooden Shoes" by Cleary, Washington and Magidson.
 Other Good Songs
 And also there are Pretending, by Ruby and Jerome and "As Long As I'm With You" by Harry K. Akst and Grant Clarke.
 No, Mo-, Nanette" is one of the most lavish pictures ever produced at the First National Studios. Four of the big sequences-the Holland, Japan, New York, and Mars epi- sodes-each cost more than the entire original stage production.
 The cast of noted players in cludes Lucien Littlefield, Louise Fa- zenda, Lilyan Tashman, Bert Roach, Zasu Pitts, Mildred Harris, Henry Stockbridge and Jocelyn Lee. Clarence Badger directed and Lar " Ceballos was in charge of the dances.
 Cclor Work Is Fine
 The color aspects of the picture are among the best.
 The colors are delight to the eye and the scenes look as na- tural as they would outside the theatre. Players lose the shadow effect of black and white photogra- phy and look as real people seen cn the street. No, Mo- Nanette, in fact seems to represent the per lection of the Technicolor process.

COL MAN STARS|N0, NO, ANNETTE
 ||N "RAFFLES" sATSH0WS SUNDAY CAPITOL SUNDAYAT COLISEUM
Shadow Ranch Featuring Buck Jones Shows for
 Last Times Tonight

Rallies" starring Ronald Col man, will begin showing Sunday at the Capitol theatre, the first presentation being at the matinee /, Shadow R nch,'' with Buck Jones in the leading role, will be given for the last times tonight. Colman reverts back to the pleas ures of his childhood in Rallies.
 AS the famous Amateur Cracks man" in this melodramatic TO- nance which scored sensational runs on the stage here and abroad he engages in two of his favorite ] sports. And Producer Samuel Gold wyn has to pay him for it.
 Motorin gand Cricket
 Motoring and cricket are the sports concerned Rallies" is the first picture to show a big league cricket game in full swing for an extended sequence.
 Neither the two cricket coaches that Producer Samuel Goldwyn brought from England, nor the twenty-odd experienced players he gathered together in the picture colony to give the sequence authen ticity, were of assistance to Ronald Cclman. He didn't need any.
 Expert at Wickets
 During his boyhood in England Colman was a member of the Had ley College Team, of Littlehamptop Later he played in the Interregi- mental League on the team that represented the London Scottish.
 Then Colman is an avid motor ist. His garage frequently has as many as twelve cars at one time. In Bulldog Drummond," motor car chase was used as effectively as galloping "villain-still- ll-pursued- her" events of yore. In Rallies, Goldwyn outdid himself in pro- viding a motor car pursuit that has all the characteristics of a professional automobile race.
 Colman refused to accept a. dou- ble, even for the rehearsals. When the studio car,i an imported Sun beam, refused to be piloted the way Colman want ted it to, he brought out his own Daimler. Sam uel Goldwyn is still wondering why there had to be six rehearsals for the scene. ...s There's such a thing as man finding too much pleasure in his work Enough is enough,' ,Nr Goldwyn said. r
 The added feature in the bill l that begins showing Sunday is "A Night at the Shooting Gallery" 8 Metro oldwyn-Mayer Co 0 one Revue.

in personal property taxes this year

 The guild announced 1t would open its drive to-day when 10000 former bumpers march to the Empire State building and form into a human flag, while Vox Humana Moore, also acting tremolo of the conservation crusade, climbs to the mooring mast and releases 20 cast iron pigeons.
 Although the Fauna will boast a total weight of 400 pounds, Acting Tremolo Moore has assured his fell low bumpers that the pigeons will be scattered.
 While Moore read his report, sur- rounded by charts showing the seats of portal 30 of the Yale Bowl and the minutes of the 203d fiscal meet ing 100 bumpers sank their teeth into luscious fowl (not cast .iron) and 'chatted over the; pretzel sbOw3:s Moore said, that previous resolu- tions of the guild had been, sent to congress, and. that, he hoped soon to get cast iron animal reservation.

 Mercy By Court

suspended sentence to the Ches- hire reformatory was the disposi- ton made today of the case of Edward Martin, 20, of 24O Washing ton avenue. Martin is the youth who was shot by Patrolman John Murphy on the evening of May $, as he attempted to escape after be- ing detected in the act of tamper- ing with an automobile parked on Grove street. It was the youths first appearance in police court and Judge McGrath was assured that 1t would be the last. The fact that he nar- rowly escaped being fatally wounded proved such an experience to the young man that he is likely to think twice before attempting another act that would involve him and the po- lice The court viewed the injuries as sufficient punishment for the ma ture of the offense he attempted to commit. x
 Patrolman Murphy on being tip ped off" that, a young man was act ing suspiciously about machine parked on Grove street, near Holmes avenue, hurried. to that section to investigate. As he approached the machine Martin darted to one side and ran toward Williw street. The officer shouted to him to stop and hurled his night stick at his legs. The club went wild of it's mark and Martin increased speed. He reached Willow stret and ran to West Main street. with Patrolman Murphy in hot pursuit. @A
 Near French street Martin att tempted to elude the officer by dart ing in the rear or some houses. To prevent his escape, Officer Murphy drew his service revolver and fired. The bullet struck Martin in the shoulder and dropped him. He was taken to St Mary's hospital. where he was given treatment and placed technically under arrest. The wound proved a very painful. but not a serious one and when he was dis charged yesterday he was ordered to appear in court.
 This morning Judge McGrath was informed that the young man had no permanent home for the past three Tears and if he would be leni- ent with him this time, his sister promised to take care of him and provide home for him.
 The court had no objections to the plan and on accepting the plea of guilty ordered the accused com mittcd to the Cheshire reformatory but suspended the sentence for. one
