THE GREAT McGINTY''
is OFFERED AT ROYAL

Although there is conclusive evil
dence that Brian Donlevy voted no
less than 38 times during a recent
municipal election in Los Angeles
recently, and that 81 of these votes
were illegal "repeaters," he is still
at large and no effort has been
made to prosecute him. Investiga-
ton disclosed the fact that Brian
had cast one vote-his own-in the
regular city elections-the other 81
were cast in an election sequence
in comedy-drama, THE Great Nc
Ginty," which opens today at the
Royal theatre.
THE Great McGinty," is "a
rough-and-tumble travesty'' on COR
rupt politics, with Brian Donlevy
cast as a simple, unrefined and
highly bellicose man in the
street, who punches lis way into
the favor of the ci.y's political
Boss, fkim Tamiroff, with the two
staging a regular Flagg-Quirt riv-
airy throughout the picture, which
progresses by rounds as well as
by scenes.
The Royal Varieties offer one of
those Perky cartoons, a A-atty NAL
neck musical and Lowell Thomas

twisted, grotesque alders like ma
lignant dancing wharfs.
At the sound of the a sea birds
swung up from the marshes with
harsh. discordant., wailing cries,
and nowhere was there a human
being in sight.
Now, in the distance, he could
see a pile of low, gray buildings,
which he took to be his destiia-
ton, the Belthorn air station and,
cherries as it looked, he was &C.
lighted to see it.
He slowed down as the road
took a curve, and then ran past
an untidy cluster of buildings
which Gun guessed was Belthorn.
There we're two or three tumble
down cottages-not very m h
better than hovels-a small farm
"a little apart from the others),
a decrepit general shop and a low.
stored, dirty-looking inn.
For once in his life Gun felt in
clined to thank his stars he was
not an airman. A few weeks at
Balthorn station and he wouldn't
have a nerve left to fly with! 4

DEAD END KIDS ARE
FEATURED AT BIJOU

Seeing the Dead End Kids play
heroic roles instead O. city toughs
is going to be the revelation Of
fered Bijou theatre patrons today
when The Dead End Kids On
Dress Parade" opens.
In a complete reversal of form,
the wise-cracking, long-haired gut
t~er-hardened denizens of the slums
will become model American
youths, though sill with plenty of
hooliganism, at M of the coun-
try's leading military academies.
There will be one exception how
ever. Leo Gorcey, toughest of the
lot, the lad who could spit through
the eye of a needle, is still a tough.
The story is said to be concerned
with a tough city lad who is sent
to a mill airy academy to learn
the finer side of youth. Here he
engages the other Dead End Kids,
Bi Halop, Bobby Jordan, Huntz
Hall, Gabriel Dell, and Bernard
Punsley-all model cadets. T o 0
city-Wise to go for a lot of disci-
pline and drills, Gorcey gets into
plenty of scrapes and nearly gets
tossed out of school, but for the
good fellowship of the Cadet-Ma-
jor, played by Halop.
The Bijou's program will include
Naughty 9O's", Candy Land a
car.oon, and the latest NeMsreel. 4

HEARING ON SLOT
MACHINES SLATED
To State Supreme
Court Are'Scheduled To Be
Heard This Week

RALEIGH, Oct. 27.- Up - The
drive by superior court judges
against slot machines may be at
stake in appeals to be heard by the
state supreme court this week.
The cases involve J. N. Finch, dis
tributor for Joe Calculus Vending
Machine company Of Fayetteville,
and H. E. Laing, distributor for the
Capital Amusement company of RAJ
leigh.
Judge r. Hunt Parker, in Wake
superior court recently, sentenced
Finch to a year for violation of the
states anti-slot machine laws. and
Laing to eight months for a similar
offense.
In n case, Judge Parker sus-
pended sentence on Finch, on condi.
ton that if he violated the 1887
Flanagan act a years term would
be added.
The defense contends that Judge
Parker acted under the Flanagan
act but that this law has been super
coded by a 1899 amendment.
The 1899 general assembly allowed
the licensing of machines showing
variable scores provided such vary
ing scores and tallies or combina-
lions of symbols do not cause such
machine or device to vend automati-
cally any slug, premium, prize, cou-
pom, refund or rebate or other thing
of value which might be used on the
further operation of such device for
which no cash value is received"
The assembly declared it did not
intend "to license or legalize any
gambling machine or device or any
other machine in Connection with the
operation of which there is given or
allowed a premium, prize, coupon,
reward, refund or rebate"
While Judge Parker was cracking
down in Wake, other superior court
judges were conducting similar cam
paigns in other counties.

LOMBARD AND LAUGHTON
STAR IN CAROLINA FILM

How a moment of i~ndiscretion
on the part of a lonely beWildered
young woman almost skaters the
lives o. three people is the basis
for compelling drama in They
Knew What They Wanted" star
ring Carole Lombard and Charles
Laughton.
Based on the famous Pulitzer
Prize play by the late Sidney How
ard, this RKO Radio emotional
drama of down-to-earth characters
presents Miss Lombard as a dis
couraged repressed waitress who
accepts a mail proposal to marry
a well-to-do Latin grape grower
who longs for a wife and children.
But he doesn't reckon with his
amorous, irresponsible foreman.
When the lovable old rancher is
seriously injured on the night be-
fore the wedding, the foreman
takes advantage of the distraught
girls feart longings.
The gripping consequences OF
this one mad momen:, the cowar
dice but eventual remorse of the
foreman, the warn generosity Of
the kindly vinyardist, and the
poignant sacrifice of the waitress
are said to bring about one of the
most stirring climaxes seen on the
screen in a decade. 9
