COLISEUM HAS CAMEO KIRBY
 FOR TOMORROW
Sarah and Son. Will Be Offered for Last Times
 This Evening

A perfect picture of the most colorful period of early American history, is presented in Cameo Kirby" Fox Movietone romantic musical drama, which will show to- morrow night and Wednesday night at the Coliseum theatre. The story of Cameo Kirby" written by Booth Tarkington and Harry Leon Wilson, is laid in the 1850 era in New Orleans, aboard a Mississippi River steamboat, and on a plantation in picturesque Louisiana parish.
 1 The Mississippi River was the center of activity in those days, serving as it did the main artery Iof travel between St. Louis and New Orleans. On the picturesque old paddle wheelers journeyed the gentlemen of the day
 Presence of these moneyed men on the boats, led to professional gamblers also frequenting the craft.
 Described as Honest Gambler
 Cameo Kirby" a former aristo- crat reduced to near-poverty, took up gambling as the only profession he knew. He was described as an honest gambler"
 The only time he did use his ex- pert knowledge of cards in man |ner not entirely according to Hoyle, was to outwit a crooked gambler "Moreau" who was fast plucking 2 "Col Randall of every cent he had realized from sale of his tobacco crop in New Orleans. Randall, piled with liquor, lost all sense of pro- portion, and finally in desperation, staked his plantation against the money he had lost.
 Cameo" produced the best hand, and the planter turned over a deed Ito his property to him, leaving the lstateroom. Before the gambler could return the deed to Randall" the ruined man had committed sui eide.
 Later "Moreau' shot Kirby" and threw him off the boat, and went to claim the plantation for him. self.
 Absorbing, Stirring Drama
 How Kirby" was rescued from almost certain death and later turned up, to expose his crooked rival, provides one of the most ab- sorbing dramas ever brought to the audible screen.
 J. Harold Murray has the title role and is co-starred with Norma Ferris, who plays Adele Randall" " Douglas Gilmore is the rascally "Moreau," while Robert Edeson is seen and heard as "Col Randall"
 Others prominent in the cast in- clude Stepin Fetchit, Myrna Loy, Charles Morton, John Hyams, George MacFarlane and Mime. Daumery.
 ChattertOn Closes Tonight
 At the Coliseum tonight Sarah and Son." Timothy Shea's great best-scelling novel of mother-love, will be seen in it's talking filmized version for the last times.
 Ruth Chatterton, is in the cen tral role of Sarah Storm, the inn poverished young wife-mother who stimulated by a burning ambition to raise herself from obscurity and to regain the baby boy who had been spirited away from her by her worthless husband, finally achieves fame and glory as an operatic star and eventually is reunited with her son.
 Frederic March has the leading male role. Philippe de Lacy is the little boy, and Fuller Mellish, Jr., the villainous husband.

BALK DRY FUND,
WET STRATEGY

A suggestion that antiprohibi-

up appropriation bills carrying
large sums for prohibition en-
forcement Is made by the Con.

League in a statement issued
here.
The league holds that it is a
waste Of funds to appropriate
millions each year to enforce the
Volstead act, saying:
"A determined minority, con-
vinced that the VOlStead law is
not being and can not be en-
forced, can prevent further
drain upon the Treasury by
Withholding the funds without
which quaSi-enfOrcement is i'm
possible.
'Tt is the opinion Of some

that such . course is quite
