Free Acts
Announced
a t P a r k

Free attractions will be presented
both afternoon and evening Sunday
at Riverside amusement park, it is
announced.
In the afternoon the final contest
of three-game series between the
American and Canadian auto polo
teams will be staged at the resort,
and in the evening the auto comedy,
Henry Ford's Nightmare, will be
presented.
The two auto polo teams are to
leave for England the latter part of
the present month, where they have
been booked for a f1ve-week tour.
A visiting English sportsman who
saw them play in California last
spring has arranged the bookings,
and it is predicted the game will
make big hit with the sports fol-
lowers across the pond.
The strength of the two clubs
seems to be evenly balanced, as in
twelve contests this season each
team has won six games.
The game count stood six to four
in favor of the Canadians when
they came to Riverside a week ago,
but the Americas have taken the
two games played here to even the
score. AS a consequence, Sundays
contest will be bitterly fought, as
each club strives to take the lead.
Henry Ford's Nightmare" will be
presented Sunday evening, and it is
announced many new features will
be introduced in the gasoline farce.
The leading role in the spectacle
is taken by Ford touring car,
which goes through all sorts of lu-
dicrouS evolutionS without any
driver or passengers, sounding it's
horn as it speeds around the in
closure chasing the band of clowns.

On Mississippi river steamer she
picks the pocket Of one of the pas
sengers and to save herself from
arrest and certain confinement in

The downtrodden girl is picked
up by young and handsome
river captain whose hospitality she
abuses, due to her pessimistic out
look on life in general. However,
she falls in love with her benefactor
which complexities matters all the
more. She lacks the courage to tell
her lover Of her past, and leaves
without an explanation.
Her lover trails her, and after a
dramatic sequence in which many
things occur, the two lovers are
seen cruising down the river in
marital happiness.
Joel McCrea is seen as the young
river captain who falls in love with
the blonde charmer; John Halliday
portrays the part of McCrea's rival;

ROBERT AND SALLY
ARE CO-STARRED

Robert Montgomery and Sally Eli
lers, two of the most popular young
er players in pictures, are co-starred
for the first time in Made on
Broadway" a Metro-Goldwyn-
Mayer sensational expose of Man
hattan's maddest administration,
which opened Friday at LoewS Pal
ace.
Madge Evans heads a strong cast
of supporting players. including
such notable actors as Eugene Pau
lette, c. Henry Gordon and Vince
Barnett.
Made on Broadway" is based on
an original story by Courtenay Ter
rett, former New York newspaper
man.
Robert Montgomery is said to
have another high-speed comedy
role as Jeff Bidwell, super-fixer,
wise guy" and debonair gambler
who hoodwinks society and reaps a
harvest on Broadway.
Sally Eilers undergoes an inter-
eSting character development as the
bedraggled cafe waitress who is res
cued from a watery grave by Mont
gomery and who subsequently be-
comes one of Manhattan'S most
pampered playgirls.
Intimate scenes are shown in
Park avenue Clubs" where politi-
clans gather to pull the various
strings to release money from the
city treasury without disturbing the
taxpayers lethargy.
Speakeasies organized on lux
urious scale are reproduced for the
picture peopled with Suave repre-
sentatives of Manhattan's smart set.
AS the debonair man-about-town
who is actually the power behind
the city's political scene, Mont
gomery prevents Sally Eilers from
committing suicide as a result of
poverty and transforms her into a
dazzling Broadway personality.
When an unanticipated murder
takes place Montgomery is forced
to strain his resources to the limit
in order to save his synthetic mis-
CItSS from Cne ueaJn peHdlUy.
Made On Broadway" was direct
ed by Harry Beaumont whose work
