CHIC SALE HAS LEADING ROLE
 INUPTOWN FILM
Stranger in Town Is Story of Real People Sincerely
 Told by Fine Cast

Stranger in Town" which open ed Sunday at the Uptown is story of real folks minus the so- phistication and the affectation that marks the average resident of the big city.
 Chic" Sale, Ann Dvorak, David Noah Beery and Raymond Hatton have the leading roles in Stranger in Town" It is a pie ture with romance minus sex "a fight minus gangsters-and com edy of the finest type which the entire family will enjoy.
 The background of the fictitious Boilsville, Nebraska, provides a setting for a thoroughly human story of real folks.
 The plot gives us a touch of novelty as far as Sale is concern ed, for it opens in the covered wagon days when, as a young pio- neer, he drops out of the wagon train to start the town which lat CT contains his general store. In this sequence we see. for the first time, Sale without his makeup and as his own natural self. But the bulk of the picture is laid in the present time where Sale, aged and bewhiskered, is town postmos- ter and owner of the only grocery store in town. On the same train on which his granddaughter re- turns from college is young man who was sent out to start a chain grocery store branch in opposi- ton to Sale. To complicate mat ters. the two young people fall in love, thus throwing impediments in the way of the fight which en- sues between the two stores.

MAINE NATURALIST
 IS PUZZLED OVER.
 WHERE EAGLES GO

WISCASSET, Maine, Oct. 22.- Where do the bald-headed eagles of the New England coast fly, once they spread their wings? James E. Stinson, noted natural ist, has sought to solve the prob- lem for 40 years. 5
 Ut has taken more than 40 years of time and thousands of miles of travel from Labrador to the Ever glades for me to locate some 20 eagles nests,v he says.
 Each spring each nest has reared two healthy eagles that Tapped their wings for season along the rocky shores. Then when the cold swept down from the north they faded silently into the horizon and never came back
 What becomes of them? In all the 50 years I have followed the pursuit of natural knowledge I have never met anyone who eyer saw an eagle die of old age.s
 A nest in an old pine tree on the Sheepscot river near here has matched two eaglets' each year, he said.
 T have visited it since 1888 and in all that time there has never been but one pair of eagles in the vicinity. Where do the young birds go?"

NORMA SHEARER
 CLA MOROUS AS. "RIPT|DE" STAR.
Excellent Supporting Cast
 in Modern, Sophisticated Drama at The Capitol

Incomparable Norma Shearer reaps new laurels as the gilded heroine of "Riptide," her glamor- ous new Metro -Goldwyn-M ay e I starring vehicle which is now play ing at the Capitol Theatre.
 In a daring role reminiscent of her triumphs in "Divorcee," "A Free Soul" and Strangers May Kiss" Miss Shearer plays the part of Lady Rexford, an Ameri- can girl who married a title and found,t to her dismay that she had sacrificed the freedom and good times she loved so well.
 Appearance in her hour of mari tai discontent of a former New York sweetheart, provides motiva- ticn for the sensational romantic triangle upon which the film story is based.
 Lavishly Filmed
 Edmund Gohlding wrote and di- rected the sparkling production, giving the picture an elaborate mounting in pictorial interest as well as in supporting cast.
 Robert Montgomery and Herbert Marshall share leading man hon. ors as the sweetheart and hus- band, respectively, both registering magnificently in these roles.
