REVENGE

A determined effort to even an
old wrestling score will accompany
Everett Marshall to the mat when
he engages Dick Shikat at the
Washington Auditorium Thursday
night.
After waging a three-hour
stand against Jimmy Londos prior
to succumbing in a Philadelphia
bout last winter Marshall, point
ing for a re-match, accepted a
tune-up with Shikat. Whereupon
Shikat, the supposed trial horse,
proceeded to defeat Everett in one
of the years surprises.
Shikat, too, is credited with the
outstanding upset of Washington's
wrestling history, jolting a sup
posedly world-bearer in Ray Steele
when the alter was being
groomed for Londos several years
ago.

The story deals with four highly cultured people who are forced to abandon 8 Dutch steamer. One is 8 young, prudish school teacher, another g. woman's club lecturer, another a blatant newspaper cor respondent, and the fourth a rub Der chemist.

 Carolina" is the coming attrac- ton starting Saturday, and with a star-studded cast, headed by such stellar performers as Janet Gaynor, Lionel Barrymore, Hem rietta. Crosman and Robert Young, the production is reported as being so magnificent in scope and so dra- matic in theme, that it necessi- tated the use of cast of seven great stars to do it justice. The array of personalities present in the cast, and the advance reports on the film, give Carolina" the promise of being one of the out standing productions of the year.

The son of the family falls in love with poor daughter of the north who 1as come to raise tobacco on a portion of the land. Although his mother and uncle object to the girl, the young man is impressed by her talk, which stirs him to ways and means of rebuilding the plantation. How the young girl breaks down the icy dignity of the aristocratic family and brings prosperity and happiness to the old southern plantation is heralded IS being one of the most vivid dra- matic picturization ever to be screened.
 Janet Gaynor and Robert Young have the romantic leads. Besides Lionel Barrymore and Henrietta Crosman, the cast boasts such names as Richard Cromwell, Mona Barrie, Stephin Fetchit, Russell Simpson, Ronnie Cosbey and AL den Chase.

through the jungle which they had expected, they become lost for months. AS they are forced more and more to primitive modes of living, the veneer of civilization slips from them and they revert to e-historic ancestry. The school teacher, heretofore considered merely 8 nuisance by the men, blossoms into, a glorious jungle creature whose word is law, and her beauty causes the men to fight over her, thereby providing substance for developments which make this story one of great audi ence appeal.
 Claudette Colbert is superb in the role of the school teacher as are Herbert Marshall and William Gargan as the men who vie for her favors. Mary Roland is outstand- ing in the comedy relief role and Leo Carillo skillfully handles that of the guide.
