MARION DAVIES
IS CHARMING AS
AN IRISH LASSIE
Peg Of My Heart Capitol
Presentation Has Ageless
Appeal to Theatregoers

AS a play Peg O. My Heart" is
some twenty years old and yet on
the talking screen it is brand new.
The reason for this is in the
apparent agslessness of the story,
In the new o-Goldwyn-M Mayer
feature which is featured at the
Capitol Theatre, Marion Davies
breathes new life into the capti-
waiting character created in the
theatre by Laurette Taylor
In her def hands, Peg seems to
have new personality and yet
with it loses none of the crystal
romance of the Irish gamin we
knew SO well on the stage Miss
Davies performance is assuredly
the best of many recent appear
ances. She has endowed her Peg
with a finer understanding and
sympathy that might be traceable
to her own Irish ancestry.
Rich in Comedy
The comedy moments of the
story abound in richness of dia-
logue and situations and the love
theme, with Onslow Stevens as Sir
Gerald, adds a poetic gentleness.
The story of Peg is too well known
to dwell upon but comes upon the
screen with a freshness that is
delightful. stirring at the same
time fond "reminiscences of another
day.
Robert z. Leonard directed the
film from the famous play by j.
Hartley Manners. Frances Marion
adapted it with the screen play by
Frank r. Adams.
Included in the splendid cast of
the new Davies starring vehicle
are J. Farrell Macdonald, Juliette
Compton, Irene Browne, Tyrrell
Davis, Alan Mowbray, Doris Lloyd,
Robert Grieg, Nora Cecil and
Godfrey Gill. Not to forget Mich
ael, the Irish terrier with a flair
for trying to steal bones-and c-ose-
ups.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 49,
A certain business failure in Knox
vile seems to be a pretty good
sign that times are getting better.
The Knox County Barter Ex-
change, established year ago to
help the unemployed, is going to
close up shop for lack OF trade.
Exchange Manager j. w. Frank
lin says, ''The Civil Works admin
istration is putting everybody to
work and people have real money
again."
In its heyday the exchange en-
gagged in general swapping
business and hired many Of the
unemployed, paying them in scrip.
In turn, the workers used the scrip
to buy goods from the exchange
store.

year went into the making of the
Warner Bros. picture, THE Mayor
of He'll" the juvenile edition to
Il Am a Fugitive From a Chain
Gang" starring Jam Cagney.
which is playing at the Coliseum
Theatre.
Some five hundred men, women
and children, an playing bits and
principal, roles, were used irlx this
stirring story which deals with a
dramatic fight against graft and
corruption in a boys reform school.
Approximately $50 young boys
between the ages of IL and Is
worked throughout the making of
the film as inmates of a reform
school, at which the treatment is
worse than that of some of the
chain gang camps. A number of
these youngsters play roles equal in
Importance to those OF adult play
ers. Among the young boys as
signed outstanding parts are Frank
Darro, Farina, George Offerman
Jr., Sidney Miller, Mickey Bennett
Raymond Borzage and Charles
Cane. 81

liza Terry. Robert Barrat, Harold
Huber, Dorothy Peterson, George
Pat Collins, Edwin Maxwell John
Marston, william v. Mong, Charles

The story by Islin Auster is a
revelation of shocking conditions
in certain so-called reformatory
where boys are Gagged like wild
animals, half starved and logged
with a CATO mine tails for the
Slightest infraction of harsh and
arbitrary rules. It is a picture of
pathos, tragedy and thrills, relieved
by a glowing romance in which
love brings about the reform OF the
abuses.
The screen adaptation was made
by Edward Chodorov and directed
by Archie Mayo.

menus for the school childrens
lunch boxes. For sandwich Filings,
you can use peanut butter, cream
cheese mixed with cream and
dates, sliced or diced meats or
fowl combined with celery or let
tuce and raisins or prunes mixed
with broken nuts. These Filings
can be used for white or graham
bread, but it is better to have sew
eral of each kind. Wrap the sand
witches in waxed paper to preserve

candy bar, dates or raisins and
some milk or cocoa, substantial

FLIERS' HUNT
IS CONTINUED

HONOLULU, Dec. 6.-tR-Weary
but willing naval searchers went
on relentlessly Thursday In the
hunt for Flight Lieutenant Charles
T. p. Ulm and two companions,
missing since Tuesday when lack OF
fuel forced their trans-Pacific
monoplane into the ocean.
Pilots Of a dozen seaplanes plot
ted courses over 100000 square miles
Of the adjacent Pacific which has
been combed the last two days for
the fliers. Not until all hope has
vanished will the search end.
Chances dwindled, however. as
the hours piled up past the time
1t was believed the Star Of Aus
tralia" could remain afloat with
Ulm, co-pilot George L~ittlejohn and
navigator j. L. Shilling. Their land
plane carried no life saving equip
ment.
The airmen were bound from
Oakland, Calf, on the first leg OF
a flight 70 Australia which they
hoped would chart the course Of a
commercial air venture.
Basing calculations on winds and
tides and recalling the experience
Of Commander John Rodgers in
1925. searching forces planned
Thursday TO survey the ocean 70
the north Of Oahu Island, on which
Honolulu is situated.
IN 1925, Commander Rodgers and
his crew drifted for nine days in a
seaplane when forced down en- route
here from the mainland. They
finally were found northeast OF
Kaui, northermost Hawaiian island,
where the search for Ulm vas con-
centrated Thursday.
Ulm flashed an SOS early Tues
day saying he would land in the
ocean. but he was off his course
and did not know his position.
