The title of the picture which stars Jean Parker and Eric Linden, is "Romance of the Lim borlost." The ; story suggested by Gen? Stratton Porter's "Girl of the Llm berlost." is of Laurie, a swamp waif who brought beauty into , the desolate liTes of her people, , and whose efforts to better her "' eelf and defeat her environment also brought them disaster. It is Lautie's aunt.

But the night of the w;'I"-.g Corson is killed, and rhrln. hia bound boy whom Laurt? had befriended, is accused of the murder. How Laurie's great love for Wayne, a young lawyer, induced him to throw away his wealthy clientele to defend the boy forms a .moving climax to a picturizatioi of strong hates and stronger loves Eric Linden, as Wayne, has his best chance since "Ah Wilder ness." as the idealistic young law yer. A strong characterization is that of Edward Pawley. - the drunken bully; and Marjorie Main, as Nora, contributed a por trait of the bitter woman who al lowed an old hate to dominate her whole life. 4Heigh-yo, Silver' On Capitol Screen The Lone Ranger" Serial Starts Today for Run 15 -Weeks Long . From the time motion pictures first came Into existence until the advent of talking pictures, one of the most popular forma of creen entertainment was the ac tion serial. Producers are spend ing more money, are getting bet ter casts, and are making more serials than at any time since the early . days of the industry. An outstanding example of this Is "The Lone Ranger," 15 episode Republic Serial beginning today at the Capitol theatre and billed for 15 weeks every Sunday, Mon day and Tuesday. This serial, the most expen sive ever filmed. Is based on the nation-wide radio program of the same name. It is carrying out the idea used in the original pro gram, that of keeping the Identi ty of the leading character a sec ret throughout the story. This is the first time, In any kind of a picture, that the star has re mained unknown. In many films, the villain has been masked and bis Identity kept secret but never the star. In order to do so, five men have been cast In featured roles: Herman Brlx, Hal Taliaf erro, Lee Powell, George Letx and Lane Chandler. Any of them may be "The Lone Ranger.'' They are all approximately the; same size and build, have simi lar voices anfr in general, are alike in their characteristics. However, not until the last few hundred feet of the final episode does the audience actually know the Identity of "The Lone Han ger." The story is based on the re clamation, of Texas, immediately following the Civil way Hubbard Building Gets Improvement HUBBARD The building oc cupied by the Hubbard Garage received a new coat of paint and lettering this week. - Mrs. Frank Mallory of the Hub bard hotel underwent an opera tion at Salem Wednesday for the -removal of her tonsils.

It's the story of hilarious ad ventures and misadventures of a Brooklyn crooner who goes West in order to make gooa in the east. - At the outset, Powell is seen as an indigent musician from Brooklyn beating his way to the west coast with two pals. They all get stranded at a Wyoming dude ranch. Daughter and son of the owners of the ranch are Miss Lane and Johnnie "Scat" Davis. There the three musicians get jobs entertaining the guests. A Broadway theatrical produc er, played by Pat d'Brien, comes to the ranch, thinks he has dis covered In Powell a "natural" cowboy crooner and rushes him back east, .where he wins huge success as a he-man from the wide-open spaces. His .deep, dark secret, however, is that he's scared to death of a horse. When Powell has become fa mous on the radio as "Wyoming Steve Gibson' Dick Foran, play ing an authentic cowboy, with as pirations as a singer, proclaims that "Gibson"' Is a- fake. Foran is motivated by Jealousy over Powell's success and over Priscil la's obvious preference for the easterner. To convince the public that Powell Is a genuine cowboy, O'Brien arranges for him to ride a bronco and bulldog a steer at a rodeo at Madison Square Gar den. That begins a series of de- lerious complications which are climaxed and it would be cheat ing to tell here how it was man aged with Powell doing precise ly what he was advertised to do, O'Brien becoming a candidate for another rest cure, and Priscilla getting her man. Colbert, Cooper On at Hollywood "Bluebeard's 8th Wife" Is Brilliant, Racy Comedy Picture Claudette Colbert and Gary Cooper form a brilliant new comedy team, while, the direction of Ernst Lnbltsch brings out the punch of the French background, in "Bluebeard's Eighth Wife," the nictnre of life among Eu rope's smart set, which opens to day at the Hollywood theatre. The story, adapted from the fa mous play of Alfred Savoir, tells about a much-married American multi-millionaire who is subdued and put into a strait-jacket by his eighth wife, whom he marries for a new thrill. Miss Colbert is the same flip, ingenious girl who made screen history In last year's "I Met Him In Paris." Cooper, as the philandering American, plays opposite her In a role that fits him down to the last stripe on his last pajama. After becoming the bride of the much-married financier. Miss Colbert, a penniless French aris tocrat, starts out on a campaign to bring him to his knees and humble his pride for the first time. A score of Europe's gay spots. Including the Riviera, the Tyrol, Venice, Vienna and Paris, form the battleground, while the bride's weapons are coolness, In difference and stubborness. No general In history used his tactics to greater advantage, and before the honeymoon Is over, Cooper Is her obedient servant. Kay Francis Star Of Capitol Movie "My BUI," with.

BROADWAY NIGHTS Copyrigt. 199$. King Feature Bvndicte. Inc. 'By AXEL. NEW YORK, July 17-There 1 are rilty-two summer theatres within a reasonable distance of j New York offering such I varied fare as "Room Service," "Let Us Be Gay," "Yes, My Darling Daughter.1" "Up Pops the I Devil," "George and Margaret" and even "Llghtnin ". So, what with four teen theatres still operating in the best seller belt on Broadway, there's no dearth of entertain ment. And even so near to, town as Jones' Beach, which Is about thirty-five miles by auto' from Times Square, one may bathe on one of America's finest beaches, dine in any style to which one is accustomed (there being . a series of restaaurapts and hotte doggeries graduated from the semi-lavish to the extremely cas ual) and see the Kokine Ballet, with Patricia Bowman and An drew Egievsky in such choreo graphic stand bys and Chopin's Les Sylphides, Schumann's Car naval and the Russian Toy Bal let of Rlmsy-Korsakor. A com fortable outlook indeed. Of course, Broadway still has super-cooled picture mills sup plying super-colossal entertain ment, and such morsels as "Lord Jeff," "Tropic Holiday,": "Hav ing Wonderful Time" and "The Rage of Paris," to say nothing of openings as they fall from an elastic schedule. But the most talked about thing on Broadway right now Is a new super-colossal electric sign. It's called a "spectacular," which la one way of grading signs by their sizes and the length of the flashing continuity in mazda and neon. The continuity for this : one, a cigarette ad, was done by Otto Soglow, long famous for signs a halt a- city block long, and three stories high. Such ! a traf fic jam greeted the spectacular chewing gum sign on its recent unveiling gawked and ' gaped when the switches were ! thrown and the mechanism started. It's a one-day wonder now or per haps It might be called a one night wonder.' The huge chewing gum sign gets an occasional glance frsan a native,' but. that's about all, The new cigaret ad is going to overcome that by changing the. continuity of ac tion every two months. Laid end to end in dollar bills, the cost of the sign would run to a pretty penny.

They were gone a month and visited many of the larger cities and joints of historical interest. Going over the northern route they noted signs of plentiful rain fall from west to east, evidenced in green fields and muddy streams. New England ' however, was the ' only section seen where the vegetation flourishes as lux uriantly as in the northwest. They noticed the few evergreen trees seen were mostly in 'New England also. The women collected and pressed a large variety of leaves of historical or sentimental value from trees all the way from Can ada through New England and Kansas to California. . Among the larger cities and places particularly enjoyed were the International building in Ra dio City, N. Y.; the view of New York from the RCA" building; in Washington, D. C, the tours to see the White House, Smithson ian Institute, other government buildings including the capitol and congress in session on its last day, watching new stamps and dollar bills being baled and many other sights.
