STONE IN WEEKEND
 CAPITOL BILL
The Man Who Cried Wolf The Old Wyoming Trail
 Are New Attractions

Presenting a brand new style of mystery story, which begins where most films of this type leave off, Universals productions The Man Who Cried Wolf, opens tonight at the Capitol The swift move ment of the drama and the surprise with which each new situation is revealed keeps the audience in sus- pense right up to the final smash ing scene.
 Lewis Stone gives a brilliant per formance as the man who confeSses to a series of murders in order to make police believe he is crazy.
 His motive becomes clear when the audience learns his plan to kill a millionaire who stole his wife and son, years earlier. Stones portrayal of the husband, haunted by his de- sire for revenge, is one that will not soon be forgotten.
 A fine balance for the gripping realism of the drama IS the beauti- full love story woven around Tom Brown and Barbara Read, whose performances are excellent.
 The dramatic highpoint is reached in the scene where Stone discovers in horror that his scheme is so per feet he cannot prove his guilt, in order to save his son from paying the penalty for his fathers crime.
 Others in the talented cast in clude Robert Gleckler, Forester Harvey, Billy Wayne, Jameson Thomas and Marjorie Main.
 Second feature is The Old Wyo- ming Trail" a story of the days when the pioneers were blazing the trail Westward, with the rugged Charles Starrett in the starring role. Featured in the cast are Barbara Weeks, Donald Grayson, the Sons of the Pioneers, Dick Curtis, Ed Le Saint, Guy Usher and George Che sebro Folmer Blangsted directed.

ALASKA GAINING
TRAVEL POPULARITY
Sea Voyages Carry See America
Enthusiasts Beyond Shores
to MANY Points.

w 3AoAy 4VAAIO.
Seeing America today means more
than crossing few State lines or
visiting the famous national parks.
Uncle Sam now numbers among
his native Fairgrounds Puerto Rico
and the Virgin Islands in the Allan
tic. Hawaii in the Pacific, the Canal
Zone in Central America and Alaska
to the North. Most Of these regions
have come into the summer vacation
spotlight only during recent years.
Alaska. for instance, until recent
years. was not popular at all; now
steamers for 1t are usually booked to
capacity before the summer season
starts. Part Of its popularity un-
doubtedly comes from the fact that
1t Is one Of Americas last frontiers.
Alaska's great glaciers in the north,
its famous Yukon River trip, the re-
mains Of its Indian civilization, its
weird totem poles and its historic
role both as former possession OF
Russia and as gold rush area con-
tribute to its lure for travellers.
Puerto Rico's equable summer cli-
mate as well as the Old World at
mosphere its Spanish people give it
are proving its strong attractions for
summer travellers. Although the island
lies just within the torrid zone, its
mean temperature during July Is only
70 degrees. and the change from day
to night or winter to summer is sell
dom more than 6 degrees.
The Canal Zone gained its first
fame among travellers because of the
Panama Canal, one of Americas
greatest engineering feats. Two other
factors have recently brought more
Americans to it. For one thing, sew
eral West Indies and South American
cruises now make the Zone a regu-
lar port of call; for another, many
travellers from the Pacific Coast now
journey there to join parties touring
South America. Thus, through in
creasing interest in that continent,
the Canal Zone has also augmented
its tourist trade
Surf-board riding. Hawaiian music
and 4 welcome Of lei wreaths have

phere and its Polynesian culture
