Melvyn Douglas Stars in Picture to Be Shown al
 Capitol Theatre

Striking a keynote of distinct originality, Tell No Tales fea- turing Melvyn Douglas at the Capi- tol Theater, should prove to be dramatic entertainment of the highest order, replete with breath less and suspenseful action.
 It is said to be one of the most unusual dramas reaching the screen. Five separate stories with five separate sets Of characters are told, each intensely dramatic in itself, and all building to high climax of action and drama
 The picture reveals the efforts of Melvyn Douglas, as a doggedlJ determined reporter, to bring to justice a group of criminals guilty of a murder and Kidnapping. A hundred dollar note, part of the ransom money, falls into his hands by accident. Step by step, he traces the bill back to it's original source. In breath taking sequences, with death ever at his shoulder, Doug las purSues his relentless course through the highways and byways of a great city until the final nerve -shattering climax.
 Ever a master of the dramatic form, Douglas turns in one of his most moving and convincing per formances in the role of the re- porter. Louise Platt is the engag- ing love interest, with Gene Lock hart, Douglas Dumbrille, Florence George, Halliwell Hobbes, Zeffie Iilbury, Harlan Briggs, Sara Haden, Hobart Cavanagh, Oscar O'Shea, and others of the large cast giv- ing superb support in the picture.

BY DREW

LONDON, Sept. 16.-R-A heavy
German bomb, at a 500
FOUNDER, landed tonight $50 feet
from an apartment where I am
visiting.
The explosion was so heavy that
it broke every pane of glass in
the block and n of the guests in
this apartment was thrown across
the room by the conclusion.
We went out to see if a shelter
in the adjoining square had been
hit. 1t had escaped, narrowly, the
bomb blasted out a 35-foot crater
in the small park in the center of
the square.
We did not stay out of doors
long, but when we returned we
found that everyone in the apart
ment house had gone to the base
ment shelter.
People e r crowded together,
dressed in everything from eve

Anti-aircraft shell splinters we're
falling all around the building.
This is telephoned from the
apartment, but 1 think I'll 60 down
