Arliss at State
 in New Role "The Kings Vacation Finds Star in Suave
 Role

''The Kings Vacation" which be- gins four day engagement at Warmers State today. gives George Arliss a role excelling in humor. humanity, and suave charm, even that which he made so memorable in "The Millionaire"
 It also serves to introduce Patri- cia Ellis. lovely sixteen year old screen discovery for whom Holly wood predicts early stardom.
 In these days when so many kings are out of jobs, MT Arliss plays the part of a man who has kingship thrust upon him, while despising all the pomp and cere- mony, and determined to ditch the whole business. for love in g cot tage.
 He succeeds until the line of succession forces him to take the throne. Leaving his wife and child, he marries the princess. and rue- fully acts as the figurehead of royalty. He halls the inevitable re- volution as stroke of luck and goes back to his first love.
 He is disturbed to find humber enc" living in grandeur almost equal to that which he has left and only willing to accept him because he is an ex-king. There are com plications. because his daughter, TOW grown, wishes to marry a commoner, much to her mothers disgust. Now comes counter-re- volution which threatens to send him back to the royal palace. It is here that the loves of the two women, and the kings vow to lead the simple 1ife-come into con- flict, and the amusingly dramatic climax is reached.
 From this brief outline of the story it will be seen that the char acter is made for none other than George Arliss.
 The excellent support includes Mrs George Arliss, Marjorie Gate son, Dudley Digges, Dick Powell, Patricia Ellis, o. P. Heggie, Doug las Gerard, James Bell, Helena Phillips, Charles Evans, Maude Leslie, Alan Birmingham, Harold Minjur, Vernon Steele and Des- mond Roberts.

Eddie Cantor
 at the Cameo


 Eddie Cantor looked for a bull that wasn't too much of he-man, A slightly effeminate one, he thought, would do. A nice, kind bull that liked a good tune and a god laugh, was what beady-eyed Eddie needed. When he finally found it, he and Samuel Goidwyn' s production staff were ready to be- gin work on the big musicale, "The Kid From Spain" to be seen at the Cameo Theater, Sunday and Mon- day.
 For the Mexican screen extrava- ganza, Eddie took up bullfighting seriously. He had to practice con stantly, in the swimming pool, at the studio, with a turkish towel in his trundle bed at night.

Ray Nichols

Patrons of the Hamilton park dance pavilion will pay 25 or 35 cents tonight for an attraction which New York paid $1.10 to en- joy. That attraction is no other than Ray Nichols and his orchestra direct from long run at the beau tiful Roseland ballroom on Broad way, Americas finest dance palace. Nichols replaces Tremaine on to- nights program at the park, the later being forced to cancel sev- eral New England engagements in order to accept & contract at the Bohemia restaurant in the me- tropolis.
 The Roseland is to orchestra men what the Palace Is to vaude- vile. An engagement at Rose land Is the ambition of every band and Ray Nichols apd his men were fortunate in securing six weeks there. Thus. little need be said of their reputation. Besides. a band that has been selected as. a worthy substitute for Paul Tre- maine and his combination, must be great.

Bali Picture
 at The Strand
"Goona-G Goona" Tells the
 Story of Exotic Isle

The answer to whether or not the women of Bali are the most beautiful and graceful in the world is answered in the amazing photoplay 'Goona-Goona", which begins 8 three day engagement at Warmers Strand on Sunday.
 The women are beautiful. They have supple, well-made bodies whose breasts point proudly and chastely. Indeed these savage folks are naive, simple and inno- cent. The men, too, are well pro- portioned. a perfect type of ath- lete. None of them had ever be- fore been in a picture.
 For four years Roosevelt and Denis trained them for the dra- matic story, a story with vision one of the great attractions of the season.
 Roosevelt, a cousin of the. late Theodore Roosevelt, is a scholarly explorer who has produced pie lures in various parts of the world, Denis, research engineer for the Eastman Kodak Company, has been an adventurer all his life. When the two settled on Bali they had no intention of making mo- ton picture, but they were 50 taken up with the primitive beauty of the magic island, the 1.-the fig- ures of the natives and their. fine ly formed faces that they decided to remain and bring back to civil- ization the real story of a glorious people.

It is from the pen of Francis Wallace, author of "Hud- de" and "Touchd6wn" and stars Richard Cromwell with Dorothy Jordan, Mae Marsh and other favorites.
