PALACE

Advice to the Lovelorn'' with Lee Tracy and Sally Blanc, and Victor Jory and Irene Bentley are the two feature attractions that will be shown for the last time at Polls tonight and tomorrow.
 A triple feature bill will be on the boards at Polls beginning Sat urday. Ann Harding. Give Brook and Dickie Moore in Gallant Lady" Zane Grey's "Thundering Herd" with an all star cast and Bing Crosby in his latest featurette termed Just an Echo.
 Gallant lady reveals the story Of a woman who, in order to become the legal mother of her illegitimate child, marries the man who adopts him, without revealing to either the fact that she is really the child's mother.
 'It is problem no dramatist can solve," asserts Miss Harding. ''nor do I think that any mother can solve it either! The authors Of this story have offered one solution but they make her pay for the pr1- vilege of mothering her boy by ex- acting the penalty of silence
 q have daughter, so l know what it would mean never to be able to call my child my own. Frankly. believe the urge would be too strong for me. This Is a story that every woman is going to have an opinion about. depend ing upon her own experience and views of motherhood. The question of whether it is fair to the child whether a mother once having re- nounced, her claim through force of circumstances, should permit the youngster to remain in ,ignor- ance of his percentage 1t all involves a vitally dramatic problef and one which speaks the language of every woman, whether she be mother or not. "In this story 1t is the wisest and logical choice of Sally Wyndham,' comedies this brilliant young stai of stage and screen, "But in my own heart of hearts. know could not be brave enough to pay the price that Sally pays the price l of silence;"

Brad studied 1t carefully. It was made out for the funeral services of Francisco Hernahdez at Wood. lawn, with the modest charge of thirty-five dollars.
 "I see" Brad remarked thought fully. "You can't figure Brownell only going for thirty-five dollars on this Herpandez funeral when, he spent a. couple of grand on those other guys!"
 ''Right--and that's how the battle started. The old man looked so guilty when asked him about it that I figured right off some- thing was wrong"
 As soon as he could have with out rousing Nick's suspicious Brad dashed out of the store and picked up Shamny waiting in taxi at the corner.
 "Municipai Bui lding!" Brad shouted to the driver. Then to Shammy: Were going to hunt ur stiff called Hernandez-I've go. a hunch, baby, and 1t looks hot!"
 Brad's hunch proved to be cor rect. At the Bureau of Vital Sta tistics they were told that a Doc tor Smith had signed the Herman deg death certifi. ate, but when they called the physician he denied all knowledge of the case, explaining

THEFT FROM THE BARRACKS

duOblCE COups
 
 THEFT FROM THE BARRACKS Just as the master strategists of France had planned new and al- most impregnable Notifications, so bad the armaments experts de- vised more efficient equipment. Taught bitter lessons by the World war, they were especially interest ed in rapid-fire guns with power enough to be ffective against air. planes and tanks. One of their new machine guns, of type worked out by trusted engineers and con- structed and tested with secrecy. was called No 24." Some of these guns, Sophie-the-Spy knew, had been sent to the garrison at Coume. She determined to get one.
 She knew ar once the soldier most likely to fall in with her scheme. He was a youngster named, 1t Is said, Rene Plestan. Over many glasses of liquor in a corner of the Cafe des Sports, he finally agreed to her wishes.
 One evening the soldier confided to his barracks mates that he was going A. w. o. l.. that evening. It was a matter of a girl whom he'd promised to see. The other soldiers leered and agreed that Rene surely was devil with the I women.
 That night they saw him steal l out of the barracks. But they didn't see him slip into the supply room and take one of the new ma chine guns. Outside he eluded the guards and dashed for the mence that surrounded the soldiers quar- ters. Over it he scrambled, With difficulty, still carrying No. "A. A short distance away he found So. phie.

STRAND

As intense as the heat of the tropics and as thrilling as Nthe Malay jungle is "White Woman" which heads the deluxe double feature program at Warmers Strand today, tomorrow and Satur- ray.
 Directed by Stuart Walker and photographed by Harry Fischbeck, 1t features Charles Laughton. Carole Lombard, Charles Bickford and Kent Taylor. All members of the cast competently portray the characterization assigned them. Laughton, especitlly. stands out in a performance that will stand up with all the distinctive screen characterizations.
 Much comedy Is derived from scenes between Laughton and Bick- ford when the two start insulting each other in good old American slang.
 The camera work Is excellent. Fischbeck's photography has a very definite value and presents some of the most realistic jungle scenes ever shown.
 Incidentally, it will pay you to watch young Taylod. He's one of the most promising leading men on the Paramount lot and has ap- peared in some notable pictures.
 The companion feature presents Laurel and Hardy in their latest feature-length comedy "Sons of the Desert" The comedians are cap ably supported in this houm of roitous comedy by Charles Chase. Mae Busch. Dorothy Christy and Lucien Littlefield.
 Tomorrow and Saturday, as an extra added feature, the third ex- citing chapter of the new serial "The Perils of Pauline," will be shown.
 Sunday brings the dramatic hii "Dinner at Eight" and "Horseplay' with Slim Summerville and Andy I Devine. ~

The ink was scarcely dry on the Treaty of Versailles before French experts were bent low over maps of the new German frontier. plan ming Qualifications which better could withstand the buffeting of modern warfare. And no sooner had word of an extensive new de- fense scheme reached the ears of certain other powers than espion- age organizations went into action. Those plans had to be obtained. sS First, though, there was long wait while French authorities made up their own minds. as to what sort of Qualifications were to be built. Meanwhile master spies plotted the elaborate devices to be employed--a beautiful woman to win the confidence of this or that French officer; a simple-appearing maid to find employment in q chateau where officials might be uuartered; dozens of men to get work in factories where materials would be manufactured: secret agents to get jobs on the railroads: harmless looking peasants to find labor in the fields where they could observe activities: craftsmen, such as masons and mechanics to help actually to build the fortlfications.
 And for the town of St Avoid, near the mandated and still dis puted Saar Basin, a man and wo- man would be found to start an inn or cafe.
 BAR NEAR THE BARRACKS
 So Sophie Drost appeared in St Avoid in 1928. Scanning her over plump figure, or hearing her ready laugh and coarse humor, no one could have guessed that she might become a ''second Mata Hari." Certainly she had none of the ex- otic qualities of that glamorous, half-caste dancer who fell in de- liant silence before a firing squad during the war.
 But there was Sophie, anyway; and a man, supposed to be her Eusbapd, whom she called Jupp. They had sold their cafe in an

 Florence Reed is coming back to motion pictures but not to Holly wood. She has been signed to make picture in New York at the old Biograph studio.

The chairmen of the appropriate

tees in retail trade. They a-e warn

such conditions.

Still true to form, Mike Tighe and

best to keep the hearings of the Ma
tional Steel Labor Board in Pitts
burgh this week as far from the
rank and file as possible.
Yesterday the board decided, after
an open hearing, to order an cleo

that the hearing with Standard Tin

70 on Communist Party
Ticket in Pennsylvania
Platform of Struggle for Rights of Workers and
Negro People Ratified at onvention-Wicks,
Cush and Powell Head Slate

HARRISBURG, Pa, Aug. 49,
The convention called by the Com
munist Party to ratify its platform
and candidates for the coming cleo
lions was held here on August IL
with 102 delegates present from
various parts of the state.
The main political report was
made by Harry M. Wicks, followed
by report on organizational
measures by D. Davis. The dele
gates, among whom were workers
from the mines and steel industries
from the western part of the state,
from the anthracite region, from
the waterfront in Philadelphia,
Negro and white, in discussion
brought out the possibilities Of
bringing the platform to more and
more workers in their respective
sections. Stress was put, not only
on the need of rolling up enough
votes to remain on the ballot as a
legal party in Pennsylvania next
election without collecting sigma
lures, but also of the possibility of
actually electing Communists to
some of the Offices to be filled at
the coming election.
The national election platform of
the Communist Party was endorsed,
with additional planks for the re-
peal of the Flynn Sedition Law,
abolition of the private police in
the pay of large corporations, for
immediate relief of the unemployed.
The proposed march of the unem-
ployed to Harrisburg in October
was endorsed, and resolutions on
Thaelmann, Herndon, ScottSboro,
Egan and Frankfeld adopted.
rs Are Nominated
A total of rs candidates for the
various offices to be filled in Novem-
Der received the endorsement of the
convention. The principal candi-
dates, Harry M. WickS for United
States Senator, Emmett Patrick
Cush for Governor, and william R.

responded to the applause of the
delegates with acceptance speeches.
