AMONG THEATRICAL OFFERINGS OF THE WEEK! i ii im i iii ii' I'" in h wimmwi"'' '"wiiw j : HEX BEACH PLAY IT Packed with all the stcel-fistd action of the riirinal story, "TIip 1 Silvr Honle." the famous Hps Bencji novel, comes to th ncrepn of the Colonial Wednesidfiy and Thursday as one of the year's outstanding out door dramas. All the clamor nnd romnnre of the orieinal hns been retained in the talking picture version, according to advance reports, and a mighty enst of screen favorites has hpen assem bled to bring the famous Beach char acters to life.

Marlon Davies and Sidney Blackmer contribute to the fun In "It's a Wise Child," to show Wednesday and Thursday at the Fox McDonald. JT Richard Fart helm fun bis made much of the greatest role of his career in "The Finger Points" which opens at the Heilig Thursday Ha plays the tiart of a Big Town reporter who in ordnr to get money to spend on the "sob nister" he loves, covers crime in exchange for bribes he extorts from gangdom. The story is based on the recent notorious cane of a reporter who sold the honor of his paper to enrich him self by gang graft. All the hair-raising adventure which marked the origi nal has been caught by these two masters of melodrama. Barthelmess portrays with rare un derstanding the changing character of the young man who comes from the South with high ideals as to the duty of the press to the public, and grad ually falls under the power of greed which finally brings its retribution with the added tragedy that the pub lic never finds out thnt he is not the honorable man he pretends to be. Fay Wray as the "sob sister" of th newspaper who loves the unfor tunate youth and keeps his secret to the last, gives n performance of rare beauty.

American family that he gives up his home, people and busi ness to follow her to her tropical is land. Her sparkling black eyes, wavy abundance of black hair, soft oliv, complexion and sinuous dunging, coupled with her iniorn ability to act, make- her seem a real part of the native setting.
