"Young Eagles' sad Byrd At Fox Elsinore Bill This Week Rons Strongly To Adventures of the Air; Sonth Pole Shown The Fox Elsinore ias an excel lent bill this week. Today of course there is Fanchon and Mar co la the "Smiles" idea and with that Is "Slightly Scarlet" la which Evelyn Brent and Clive Brook star. ' Both Brent and Brook are polished performers, and each has an excellent voice; They are cast in characters of society thieves and the plot is wound about the stealing of a string of pearls. Paul Lukas and Eugene Pallette are two more favorites who appear in the pJot. Monday brings "Young Eagles" with Charles "Buddy" Rogers. If you saw any of the trailers there is no need to suggest that the. pic ture is to be a thrill from the be ginning to the end. It is called a t k a t meana -enough thrills to keep yon awake for the rest of the night after seeing "Baddy." and Jean Arthur, and WiUiam Wellman work out the plot ot the aviation love story. Then the .Wednesday bill is the breathtaking and awe inspiring picture ot "With Byrd at the South Pole." The actual pictures taken in actual, everyday action as Byrd and his men traveled, made winter headquarters, and circled the pole. Floyd Gittboas gave a snort taiit on too picture and became so excited over its unusualness and excellence that lie fairly ran away with himself. It win be a thrill to see the places that must of the country -was fol lowing on paper when Byrd was In the south. dree with bis company ot -adoglo dancers. It is undoubtedly one of the most daring and breath-taking adagio bills to be presented on the stage. They toss each other about without eeeminc realisation that people do fall sometimes, and they smile real smiles. It is an excel lent act. There are other similarly good acts on the bill but these lead in my estimation. Mickey Mouse Minstrels,' made up from the talent of the young sters of the town will be a fea ture at Fox Elsinore Monday and Tuesday evening of this rreek will be an interesting novelty. BUI Bra- sea u has been directing the young sters, and will act as master of ceremonies. Col. Dow will he the interlocutor and Prof. Feugy will direct the musie. Tickets bought rn advance will entitle purchaser ot seats in the first 15 rows in the theatre. The regular prices will be charged but kiddies will go in for 10 cents.

Romance of Rio Grande" Heads Grand Bill First run mt "Love, Life and Langh" Scftednled to Start Wedaeeday The Grand will sUrt its bill with this week "Romance ot Rio Grande,? with Warner Baxter and Mary Duneaa. 'It Is highly roman tic, and full of the early histor ical lore of the days when Califor nia was still a part of Mexico and when the influenoa of the Span ish was most pronounced. Span ish music is all through this pic ture, and the landscape scenes are warm and alluring, all of which adds much to the romance of the plot. The costuming is of the ear ly Spanish which fact further sets the note'ot grateful romance. "Romance ot Rio Grande" is along the style of "Old Arizona" only it has been done more elab orately and more romantically.

The picture Is "Love, Lire and Laugh" and the actor who takes the lead is George Jessel. Lila Lee plays the feminine lead, and others in the cast are David Rol lins, Henry Kolker and Kenneth Mackenna. It is a picture of the war time. The main part of the plot is a lovestory which gets so badly en tangled and in such a pathetic manner that strikes a number of sad spots, until the final scenes which brings all situations out happily.

The originator of and al- most the personification of "mammy" songs, Jolson has made his name a byword in the Amer ican theatre world and to the the atre going public Some have gone so far as to eall Al Jolson and Irving Berlin the two most famous men in the entertainment world. Be that :.s it may both have contributed much to the en joyment of the public and the two Of them collaborated o n "Mammy." Here are a group of the songs which Jolson sings. "Let Me Sing and I am Happy," "To My Mam my," "The Call of the South," "Knights of the Road," and "Across the Breakfast table Look ing at You." The play is a musical romance, which was written by Irving Berlin. The cast includes Al Jolson, Lois Moran, Louise Dresser, Low ell Sherman, Hobart Bosworth, Tully Marshall, Mitchell Lewis.
