America s best loved lolK ro
mance comes to the screen once
more In Monogram's picturiiatlc-n
of a story sugested by Gene Strji
ton Porter's "Girl of the I 'inber
lost," which is now at the Grani
theatre. 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. Nora, hat
i the girl, .ho again and agala
b!r-ks h- path out of the swamp,
and it is she who destroys her am
bition completely by forcing
Laurie into a marriage with
wealthy, drur1"-- Corson, the
town bully. 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.

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

"Cowboy from Brooklyn." with
Dick Powell, Pat O'Brien and
Priscilla Lane in the leading
roles has been booked starting
today at the Elsinore theatre.
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. Kay Francis,
Bonita Granville, Anita Louise,
Bobby Jordan and Dickie Moore
heading the cast, has been

small as he Is, he proves to be
a real bulwark In time of need.
Then, It Is the little fellow
who reunites the family as
Mother'a day gift to Kay, and.
as the story ends, not only Is the
family reunited bat the town gos
sips' tongues are to be silenced

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.

Travelers Report
Trip's Highlights
Mrs. Laura W. Holder and
Mrs. Mildred Thiessen
Visit Noted Spots
LIBERTY - Mrs. Laura W.
Holder has returned to her home
from an interesting trip to the
east in company with Mrs. Mil
dred Thiesen of Salem. 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. In Washing
ton they thought the presence of
beautiful parks and buildings ad
jacent to the railroad station a
delightful welcome to travelers
and very different from the dingy
station surroundings so common
to. large cities. .

In tlfe east the women noted
that catering to tourists is a
good business and is done on a

people as guides, bus
drivers, to sell souvenirs, etc.
Tourists .are met upon arrival in

Many colored picture folders,
guide books and other souvenirs
were brought home. Some ex
