TECHNICOLOR FILM IS SET IN
 SOUTH SEAS
"Ebb Tide" Starring Fran ces Farmer Showing
 Sunday, Coliseum

The most successful color film that has yet reached the screen is the first Technicolor sea story "Ebb Tide, which opens Sunday at the Coliseum. There has been no set ting so far which shows itself so perfectly adapted to Technicolor photography as the South Seas To- cale of this story by Robert Louis Stevenson and Lloyd Osbourne. The lush tropical vegetation, the bright blue of Pacific skies, and the water shading of the South Pacific all needed to be filmed in color, and in "Ebb Tide all their beauty is recorded to the best possible ad- vantage. The result is film of unique beauty.
 The cast of 'Ebb Tide" is headed by Oscar Homolka. Frances Farmer Ray Midland, Lloyd Nolan and Bar " Fitzgerald.
 "Ebb Tide" tells the story of four oOi dAlSCiy uSSOl Ocu llFCS ulldO tlC til- tangled on a little South Sea island as a result of a death outside the group; and are separated at last by violence and murder in a forsaken trading post run by a sadistic mad man.
 Homolka, a broken sea captain, Milland an eXpatriate Englishman, and Fitzgerald, conniving Cock ney, all go aboard the schooner Golden State" when her captain dies at sea. Frances Farmer is the daughter of the dead captain, who is aboard the ship when Homolka decides to steal the boat and cargo. Midland protests, but is overruled by his companions. The ship is al- most lost in a storm before the quartet lands at a little island where Lloyd Nolan holds sway. Nolan attempts to keep Miss Farm CT on the island, and kills Homolka and Fitzgerald when they attempt to rob him. Midland overpowers the maniac, and puts to sea again with Miss Farmer, planning to start new life for the two of them.

WALLACE BEERY
 STARS IN NEW
 ACTION PICTURE
There Hasn't Been a Film Like It Since Viva
 Villa at Capitol

The powerful bad man" portray al of Wallace Beery, the uniformly fine work of such stellar supporting players as Virginia Bruce, Dennis OKcefe, Joseph Calleia, Lewis Stone, Guy Kibbee and Bruce Cab ot, and the distinguished direction of J. Walter Ruben have combined to bring to the screen an absorb ing drama in "The Bad Man of Birthstone" which opens Sunday at the Capitol.
 Recapturing the spirited and law less era of the old frontier days of the West of the sos. the new pie ture offers a thrilling panorama of stagecoach travel, gold rush hys- teria, crooked politics and the rule of the trigger. Packed with action from start to finish the colorful story reveals how law and order came to the town of Birthstone when desperadoes such as "Trig- ger" Bill, portrayed by Beery, ruled with an iron hand.
 Beery, giving a performance which outshines even that of his famed Viva Villa" is cast as the outlaw who bands his forces against that of the U s. marshal until in a striking denoument he discovers that the marshal is his own son. His equalization to a force greater than greed or vanity gives the drama a human touch which stays in ones memory long after the thrill-packed action and shooting are. over.
 Showing for the last time tonight is a double bill which includes Idol of the Crowd" and Life Begins With Love-"
