SECRETS OF DEEP
LOCKED IN WHALE
Capt. Dolan Gives School Children
Science Angle on Vast
Mute Monster.

eff this whale could talk, one of the
strangest adventures of the sea would
unravel the mystery of the deep and
science would be advanced about 1000
years" Capt Mike Dolan told group
of school children and teachers yes
terday on a free tour of the whale
exhibition at Fourteenth and Water
streets.
Down into the abysmal darkness of
the sea, a monster among millions of
tiny creatures, the whale dives in
search of tiny fish," he said. "The
thick layer of blubber on his sides is
protection against the great pressure
and provides warmth in the Arctic
seas. Swiftly, at about 80 knots an
hour, the whale slips through the
green waters, his enormous mouth
opening like a large door, in search Of
plankton, a delicate sea growth and
the whales favorite dish"
The exhibition, with its troup of
trained fleas, an old Egyptian mummy
and scores of other exhibits, will be
here until October IA. Free lectures
on marine life are being continually
given by Capt. Dolan and his crew,
and it is estimated that some $500
persons have marveled at the extreme
length of the whale since its arrival
last week.
Admission to see the whale, sea ele-
phant, killer whale, and apparatus
used in making the catch, is 10 cents
All other added attractions are seen
for an additional cost.

HAZARDOUS LIFE OF REP ORTER IS. SH0 WN IN FILM
Hold the Press Newspaper Feature Picture Opening
 at Coliseum Tonight

Although newspapers are a po- tent factor in the march against crime, the men in back of the press are often forgotten in the sensationalism of an expose of some notorious criminal or politician.
 Campaigns are swung, fortunes won or lost, wars hang in the balance-and some great reporter with the germ of an idea in his brain, pounds away at typewrit- CT, giving to the public a word picture-an opinion that forms pub lie prejudice or favor.
 Crime runs rampant. The po- lice fight tooth and nail against the eroding influence of a gang of desperate gangsters. A reporter steps in, riSking his life for a story, ,gleans an important clue and blasting expose booms across the front pages of the newspa- pers and makes him a prey for racketeers.
 The bravery and fearnessness of these reporters sends them prob- ing into affairs of state, fereting out crooked politicians, trapping desperate racketeers-just for the story.
 The life of typical ace reporter has been dramatized in the Col umbia Picture, Hold the Press" coming to the Coliseum Theatre tonight. Tim Mccoy portrays the role of the reporter.
 Mccoy in this timely and au- thentic linn exposes a gang that capitalizes on the state prison par ole board. One Of the members of the board works hand in hand with racket leader and in this way get thousands upon thousands of dollars from men ignorant of their scheme.
 The reporter exposes this fraud in one daring swoop down into enemy territory-and a public enc my is erased.
 Mccoy is supported by Shirley Grey, Wheeler Oakman, Henry Wadsworth, Oscar Apfel, Bradley Page, Jack Long and Samuel Kinds.

DRESSER STORY
 IS DRAMATlzED
 AT THE CAPITOL
Sylvia Sidney Is Star of
 Jennie Gerhardt' Best Seller by Novelist

Sensitive, appealing Jennie Ger hardt" that absorbing character created by Theodore Dreiser, Amer icas foremost novelist, came to life last night on the screen at the Capitol Theatre, where Paramou nt's picture of that title was presented. Sylvia Sidney, the girl of the wist- ful eyes, earns her first star bill ing in the title role of this B. P. Schulberg production, which mar ion Gehring directed.
 In this picture, she earns her right to be a star. Her character ization of the immortal Jennie Gerhardt contains the essence of Dreiser's conception of this tre- mendous role. Tenderly, sympa- thetically, she traces the life of the most talked of woman in Amer ican fiction.
 Jennie Gerhardt epitomizes all womanhood; that was unquestion- ably Theodore Dreser's conception of the character. Miss Sidney's impersonation has like interpre- tation as it's motivation. A beau tiful, sensitive girl, reared in the most abject poverty, is forced by the misery of her family to ac- cept the advances of those who can help financially. Time after time, despite her own inclinations, the irresistible forces of life it. self break down her morale, drive her on through desperation to an unacceptable end.
 Though the character is neces- sarily a pathetic one, it is at no time tragic, for Jennie Gerhardt reaches the heights of happiness through her devotion and her sac rifice.
 Donald Cook, rapidly coming to the forefront as one of Hollywood's favorite leading men, takes the part of Lester Kane, the man

whom Jennie Gerhardt learns to love and, for his own good, is forced to leave. H. B. Warner is cast as Jennie Gerhardt's father, while Louise Carter is cast as the mother. A new player comes to the front in the delightfully."- fresh Gilda Storm, in the role of Jennie
 Gerhardt's daughter.
