"CIRL. MISSING" IS TITLE OF
 MYSTERY FILM
Palm Beach Is Setting and an All-Star Cast Is Fea-
 tured at Coliseum

Marriage may be a lottery, but when it threatens to become a tragedy within twenty four hours after the honeymoon has begun, as it does in Girl Missing the Warner Bros. production which opens tonight at the Coliseum the atre, the lover of mystery tales can be certain of exciting enter tainment before the finals is reached
 Palm Beach, the background of wealth and beauty, and the hunt ing ground for opportunists of both sexes, is the locale of the story, and for the central figure, the au- thors, Carl Erickson and Don Null laly employ a quick-witted chorus girl, whose nimble mind solves a murder mystery that is still baf- fling the police of the Florida winter resort.
 To explain just how Kay Curtis and her pretty companion, June Dale, expose the plottings of a marriage racketeer" and his ti- tan-haired decoy in time to save the life of the unsuspecting bride groom, would be taking the edge off the mystery.
 Suffice it to say that the anna teur detective wins the plaudits of the police for her astuteness, and the wedding bells play a second and very different tune from the one they sounded in the early scenes of the picture.
 A genuine all-star cast is en- trusted with the telling of the story. It is headed by Ben Lyon, Glenda Farrell, Mary Brian and Peggy Shannon, who are ably sup ported by such players as Helen Ware, Ferdinand Gottschalk, Guy Kibbee, Pat Collins, Edward Ellis, Lyle Talbot Louise Beavers and Harold Huber.

Francis Murphy. an alleged bank
bandit. who claims he was sentenced
for the Bridgeton bank robbery

But he was thwarted from further
prosecution of the case when habeus

circuit courts finally failed.
His appeal TO the high court was

Murphy is in the position Of a man

In the interim. the Parke county
prosecutor has procured a writ of
prohibition and the clemency board
denied parole. They claim that he
has a bad institutional record.
