'SCOTLANDYARD'
 TO COME AFTER .'ExILED HE ARTS
Drama Full of Thrills Will Open at Coliseum
 Tomorrow

Hearts in Exile" starring Dol ores Costello will be shown for the last times tonight at the Coliseum theatre. Scotland Yard" featur- ing Edmund Lowe and Joan Ben ] nett will be the attraction tomor- row.
 Hearts in Exile" is a story of love and political intrigue in Rus sia. The three central charac- ters, Vera Ivanova. played by Dolores Costello, the star; Paul Pavloff, Grand withers, and Baron Serge Palma, James Kirkwood, form a triangle that runs a dramatic course and reaches a startling cli- max
 Scotland Yard" demonstrates that sometimes a wife is justified in forgetting her husband. 1! As xandra, wife of sir John Lasher,' Joan Bennett is left at home on her wedding day by a husband called to fight for his country. He remains away for three years and is finally reported miss ing in action.
 Trail Bank Robber ! Scotland Yard, Englands famous organization of crime specialists, trail the most famous bank rob Der of all times to a base hos pital back of the lines in France. There, the trail is broken when they find, instead of the criminal, Xandra's husband. Although she never loved him, and has now erased him from her memory, she dutifully goes to France and re- turns with him to England amaz- ed at the change in his character, though outwardly he appears to be exactly the same as the man who left her three years before. ! Again the refusal of Scotland Yard to give up the clews they had so carefully followed enters the drama.
  1 Too many actions and sayings of this man purporting to be Xandra's husband are foreign to the real Sir John Lasher," yet Xandra doggedly persists in believing him her husband. The climax is reached when the persistent detectives ex- pose a plot by which Sir John" is attempting to swindle the bank, of which he is president, of quar- ter of million pounds. The final solution of this amazing sit- Iuation is a decided departure from ordinary screen plays.
 Featured in Dual Role
 Edmund Lowe is featured in the dual characterization that is the dramatic premise for the picture. He portrays both "Dakin Bar roles,' the criminal and sir John Lasher," the husband. Since he portrays both the real sir John and the Sir John" as enacted by "Barrolles,' it can be truthfully said that Lowe brings three dis tinct characterizations to Scotland Yard"
 l Scotland Yard" which is based on Denison Gifts successful Broad way play, has capable supporting cast composed of Barbara Leon- ard, Donald Crisp, Lumsden Hare, David Terrence, Georges Rene want and HalliWell Hobbes.

HORSE COLLAR
 IS CLORIFIED

Paris--The humble horse collar is glorifled in a scholarly tome written by Lefebvre des Nouettes and just published. It Is entitled, "The Horse Through the Ages"
 M. des Nouettes, who is noted in France for his research work, con- tends that the widespread slavery of ancient and medieval times was due to the fact that there was no horse collar. Since there were no methods in those days of harness ing U horse properly to load SD that 1t would not choke, human

 The author emphasizes that all the rough hauling and lifting of heavy stones in the building of pa- gan palaces, Roman aqueducts. basilicas and baths, as well as of the early Christian era, was done mainly by men and not horses. The need of humans for such work, he contends. was what gave slavery It's impetus.
 Although the genius who in- vented the horse collar is not known, M. des Nouettes finds that 1t came into use between $50 and 1000 AID. which marked the ad- vent of the Capetian monarchy in France,
