mighty army and navy, no struggle
by the jobless, and is trying to form
a fascist movement with a certain
smoke screen over it OF liberal" slo-

ROBOT TALKS TO FIRE VICTIMS AND POINTS
 OUT WAY. TO ESCAPE

Talking in a calm voice, an au- tomatic alarm warns it's audience of the presence of flames and di- rects the way to the nearest exits.
 By means of electrical devices, the system combines an automatic fire detector with a music repro duced that is connected to loud speakers. The system responds to heat in three ways, sending an alarm to the nearest fire station directing the firernen to the side of the building nearest the fire, and turning on lights at the front of the building to show firemen the particular part of the building where the fire is located. At the slime time, the robot turns on the music reproducer, and a flare Of trumpets comes from the loud speakers. In addition, says Popu- lar Mechanics Magazine, green ar rows light up, pointing to the ex-

The Champ' Starring Beery And Jackie Cooper to Sho,u
 Thursday on Capitol Screen

Cooper have two of the most dra- matic roles of their careers. There are laughs, tears and excitement galore.
 Beery as the old champion loves the boy witho an almost fanatical devotion. Finally, realizing he can- not give the child the advantages a rich divorced mother can, he resolves to surrender the boy, though it breaks his heart.
 In the dramatic climax the man they call has been" proves the best man of all of them.
 In the dramatic sacrifice in the Mexican jail, and in the death scene in the fight arena, Beery and the boy rise to dramatic heights. In the intimate scenes in the hotel there is a wealth of whim- sical comedy. Actual races at Ca liente, the most realistic prizefight in years, the battle with the Mex

 The story is poignant heart interest drama, based on parental love, but the picturesque details of garish Mexican border town horse racing, prize fighting, the whirl of the gambling halls, all invest it with a color and thrill that give new dramatic tang.

WILLIAMS ARE STUFF HEROES
 ARE MADE OF
Men of Chance to Be Seen at Capitol Last
 Times Tonight

Williams of yesterday are heroes of today's films, and yesterdays heroes are today's most popular villains, according to Ricardo Cor tez.
 Cortez, noted for both types of film portrayals, plays opposite Mary AStor in Men of Chance, ? the RKO-Radio Pictures enter tainment which will be presented for the last times tonight at the Capitol theatre. His role is sym pathetic, that is, the hero's, in this picture, while just while ago he played villain opposite Miss Astor in White Shoulders. !"
 According to Cortez!
 Old Order Changes
 The most popular villains of to- day are the handsome matinee id ols of yesterday.
 The most popular heroes (we suppose men of his and Clark Ga- ble's type) are the strong and not always the perfect" sort.
 Modern girls do not care for perfect heroes. Modern young men aren't like that.
 The hero of today is the one the girl-the right girl-conyerts, and marries.
 Hero Villain Role
 In other words he is the "vil- lain" of the first part of a pie ture, but often emerges hero in the last reel.
 John Halliday, Kitty Kelly and other favorites form an excellent cast with Miss Astor and Cortez in Men of Chance which pre- sents the people of the race track not so much as puppets of excit- ing melodrama-but as real hu- man beings enactlng a thrilling love story
