Cory Cooper's marco Polo" Is
Held Over at Palace

That travelling man from
Venice, representing the firm of
Samuel Goldwyn, has sold Wash
ington such a bill of goods that
Loew's Palace is displaying "The
Adventures of Marco Polo" a
week longer than anticipated.
Gary Cooper is seen as Marco,
forerunner Of Dale Carnegie,
and as sales-managers say in
pep talks his approach is all to
the merry.
Historically, Marco travelled
East with the intention Of de-
veloping new trade routes and
exploiting some of the hidden
treasure of the Orient. Cine
matically, he interests himself
solely with the hidden treasure
Burie, in this case.
Once Marcos eyes rest on
the lady's beauteouS counter
ance he quickly demonstrates
that while he may be Venetian
he isn't blind.
Kubali Kahn the ConqueroY
is Sigrid's father and it is when
his kingdom is threatened by
internal diSSension that Marco,
the menace from Venice, really
beStirS himself.
Ahmed, played by Basil Rath-
bone, is the cause of the internal
dissension and tangling with
Marco he once more demon
strates his inability to win a
cinema duel. Acting honors, it
appears, are all the script
writer's allow Basil to win these
days.
Ernest Truck, Alan Hale.
George Barber, and Binnie
Barnes are others contributing
to a well-told adventure story.
Binnie, Of the patrician beauty
never photographed more en-
chantingly and here is one vote
for a larger slice Of that charm
and Intelligence she always
brings to the screen.

'Torchy Blame

"Torchy Blame in Panama" Is
the latest adventure Of screen

playing at Warner Brothers
Metropolitan, the picture stars
Lola Lane and Paul Kelly.
Lola portrays Torchy, hard
boiled newspaper woman who
pulls rabbits out Of hats in q
rather hectic campaign against
crime. Paul Kelly is a detective
who helps with the rabbits.
Murder and a bank theft are
committed and Torchy suspects
guess who? When Detective
Kelly refuses to permit her to
take a hand in the case they
have a lovers quarrel.
The trail leads to Panama
and left behind Torchy uncovers
a very important clue. She
catches up with the mise en-
scene by having a plane drop
her in parachute right in the
path of the Panama-bound
ship. Bring the kiddies.
Panama Is treated to some
rare melodrama thenceforth,
and things commence to look
dark, drab and dour for Torchy
and Detective Kelly. Eventually,
however, a Warden Lawes con-
clusion Is reached.
Criminologically spe a king,
Torchy always gets her man.
Matrimonially she doesn't do so
well and her friend Detective
Kelly merely makes promises.

plants and shrubs, some OF which
are blossoming in January, it pre-
sents very pleasing scene.
The Casa de Sierra is of Spanish
architecture and all decorations are
typically Spanish. Twenty f i e
rooms in the main building and
two cottages will be ready for oc-
cupancy within the next two or
three days. The remaining wings
will be opened at a later Gate. The
hotel is one of which Nogales is
Justly proud and, no doubt, will
attract tourists from all parts OF
the country.
Beauty with comfort has been in

guest rooms. Each room has its tile

cially designed and manufactured
by Barker Brothers of Los Angeles
