LOCAL GIRL IN l NEW POLL FILM
ROsaIind Russell Shows in
 French Legion Story, Under Two Flags

A program that has pleased the thronRS who have availed them selves of the opportunity of seeing 1t, comes to the end of its local en- gagement at Polls tonight. It is made up of Richard Dix in Yellow Dust" and as the companion feature there is Stem Duna in Q thrill action tale of the whaling industry, which was filmed right on our own New England coast and which bears the title T Conquer the Sea-"
 Saturday, for 4 days, Polls marches on with the great shows that have been presented in rapid succession and this week, one pie ture that will always finger in your memory will be the attraction.
 Under Two Flags" the very dra- matic story of the French Legion, not a war picture, but one that has been for years one of the best Sell- CTS. It was formerly made in a silent picture and toured the the aters of the country for two years as Q road show, and the price of g 8 ticket.
 The silent picture was made with what twas considered great cast but 1t took the talking version to gather the greatest cast of dramat- ic stars ever assembled in a film. Imagine seeing Ronald Colman, Claudette Colbert, Victor McLaglen and then last but not least there is the local girl, Rosalind Russell, in fast company it is allowed, but after you have seen the film you will agree that she, and of this there is no doubt, will soon be one of the leading stars of film center.
 Besides the above stars there are others, leading lun1inaries of the screen, and 10000 extra palyers, all tending to make this one of the mightiest of films.
 On the same program there will be @ very high class assortment of short subjects headed by Mickey Mouse in Grand Opera" and with him as co-star is the favorite of all ages-Donald Duck, the much abused duck but who without doubt is the most loved of all cartoon per- formers.
 On the same program there will be a hilarious comedy How to Be- have" with Robert Benchley, and who on the screen is funnier? The last film that he appeared in in town was How to Sleep" and to those that have seen this delightful featurette, we assure them that How to Behave" is better in every de- tail.
 Add to all of the above a Pete Smith Sport Reel, the latest issue of the Metro news and others and here is a show that no one can af- ford to miss.
 Next Wednesday brings another complete change of bill, Q double feature program made up of "Spy 77" and '"The Bridge. of Sighs", with the weekly stage show on Wednes- day evening and "screeno" on Thursday night.

CAMEO

The Prisoner of Shark Island'' starring Warner Baxter comes to the Cameo theater Sunday and Monday.
 The Prisoner of Shark Island" tells Q story of the stormy era fol- lowing the Civil War. After Lin- coin was assassinated his murderer fled to Maryland where he prevail ed upon a physician to set his broken leg. That physician was Dr.. Samuel Mudd, played by Warner Baxter, and to the frenzied mob he became an accomplice in the murder of their idol.
 The picture depicts the trial at which Mudd, held with the accom- plices, fights futilely against the rising tide of mob hatred, the tense hours when he waits to learn of his fate while others deemed guilty are hanged within his sight, and finally his dreary journey to the Dry TortugaS prison under life sen- tence.
 On the island the real drama be- gins its course. The gentle, un. worldly man fights against the degradation and spiritual starvation, against the bestiality of the labor he is forced to do. Desperation drives him to attempt an escape with the aid of 8 negro guard. In what is probably the most powerful sequence of the picture he swiins @ shark i'll moat, escapes to a boat where his wife awaits him-only to be recaptured by the pursuing guards

 Starts Tomorrow

Another splendid double feature program begins four day engage ment at Warner Brothers State theater tomorrow. Either of these two feature attractions is rated big enough to ''stand-up" on Q single feature program.
 In "The Moons Ou Home, Margaret sullavan appears in one of her best screen portrayals. As Q flery-tempered actress in this comedy-romance the star has Q fine opportunity to display her tal- entS and does so most convicingly.
 Miss sullavan's portrayal runs the gamut of human emotions, from gentle love to fiery hate, from a raging tantruKn to absolute docility
 All of these characteristics are displayed by the star who, as a screen actress in the film dramati- zation of the Faith Baldwin story, learns to dispise a noted explorer author, as he has learned to hate her, by reputation.
 They fall desperately in love, however, when they meet under as- stunned narles. They marry and the clash of temperaments begins re- sulting in S heated quarrel on their wedding night with the bride walk ing out on the bridegroom. When they relent, their efforts to locate each other leads them through many amusing adventures.
 Az Akteo fGpa11a VyayHpo 1AaAiNap pVN0 TN Henry Fonda is outstanding. Oth- CTS in the supporting cast are Hem rietta Crossman, Charles Butter worth, Lucien Littlefleld and Beu- lah Bondi.

 Performances tonight conclude the engagement of "Times Square Playboy" and Drift Fence. Next Wednesdays all new show will in- clUde T Married 8 Doctor" with Josephine Hutchinson and Pat o. Brien and Murder On a Bride Path" with James Gleason and Helen Frederick.

Hollywood News and Gossip STUDIOS PAY FORTUNES FOR TESTED" STORIES
Quarter Million No Unearthy Sum for Film Rights to Plot
 That Has Made Big Success on Broadway Stage

I hundredrs of thousands of people than would be paid for an original story, almost regardless of its quail ] ity.
 A recognized author may receive Si5,OO0 for the movie rights to a published story, but let that story first get behind the footlights on Broadway, and its valuation in- creases several-fold in Hollywood,
 Thus you find Samuel Goldwyn paying $165,0o0 for rights to the current hit, Dead End" And $l6O,O0O for "Dodsworth," which by now has toured most of the major cities as @ play.
 0oldwyn believes it's safer to buy a proved success than to gamble on an original yarn. And he would seem to be right. Street Scene, bought for $l26,000, made a fortune on the screen.
 Into Six Figures
 Largest flat sum ever paid for flicker rights is $250,000. Winchell Smith collected that for "Turn to the Right" "Broadway" and show boat" each brought the same amount.
 Universal will collect twice on the latter investment, for Show boat has just been filmed again, this time in Q much larger production and with sound.
 'Rio Rita" was sold into celluloid for $125, ,000. Noel Coward collected SlO0,O00 for "Cavalcade" and "Bit. tersweet." But Hervey Allen receiv. cd only $35,000 for the film rights to Anthony Adverse" The booh had been enormously popular, oi course, but the price suffered be- cause Anthony never had appeared on the stage.
 Marc Connolly almost surely will realize 0 tremendous sum from the filming of "The Green Pastures" !" because he is being paid for the screen rights to the play, for writ ing the movie adoption, and for co-directing the production. He is to receive @ percentage of the re- ceipts.
 Million Dollar Laugh
 In all Hollywood history, the largest amount paid an author was on a percentage deal. Away back In 1915 Thomas Dixon offered "The Birth of a Nation" to D. w. Grif- filth, and asked $50,000 for 1t. Execu- tives swooned and swore at his un- heard-of price, finally offered 6 small down payment and a share of the take.
 Well, "The Birth of a Nation" grossed approximately $12,000,0O0, out of which MT. Dixon happily pocketed cool million.
 The last Hollywood heard of him he was retired on an estate some- where in the Carolinas, and still laughing.

ALHAMBRA

With Q sweep and realistic pow CT probably never before approach ed by motion picture, 20th Gen. tury-FoX brings to the screen in The Prisoner at Shark Island'' which starts Sunday at the Alham- bra theater, the true story of the most tragic figure in Americas his- tory.
 Warner Baxter is the leading player in this drama, which opens after the Civil War with the assas- sination of Lincoln. John Wilkes Booth, whose leg was broken in the leap to the stage, fees into Mary land to receive aid from 8 simple country doctor.
 When the fury of the nation over this crime is unleashed, Baxter is arrested, tried with Booths ac- complices and sent to an unknown fate on Shark Island, a fortress prison on a sun-baked reef in the Caribbean.
 Passionately hated by the men who guard him, degraded beaten, chained to his cell, Baxter attempts escape. When he is recaptured, Bax- ter is subjected to solitary imprison- ment in 8 filthy cell, until the scourge of yellow fever hits the is- land. With the medical officer sick the fever raging, the commander of the garrison, Harry Carey, turns to Baxter as his last desperate re- sort.
 The added attraction is Boulder Dam" starring Patricia Ellis.
