"Gcze Metropole" With Loretta Young and Tyrone Power at Craterian
ADOLPHE MEN! IN
BRILLIANT SUPPORT
ROMANI PICTURE
A fay &nd lightsome Continental
romance, luxurious aa orchids on er
mine, smart aa the Rue d la Pair,
merry aa the third gla&s of cham
pagne, romantic as moonlight on the
Seine, "Cafe Metropole' opena a
three-day run today at the New Cra
terian theater with Loretta Young,
Tyrone Power and Adolphe Menjou
In the starring roles.
"Cafe Metropole" geta off to a lively
start In the smart Parisian spot of
that name, where, presiding suavely
over his restaurant. Adolphe Menjou
seems untroubled by the possibility
that auditors will arrive in a few days
and discover that the cafe accounts
are short the 460,000 francs which
he has borrowed.
More Interesting, to him, Is the fact
that a rich American patron, Charles
Wlnnlnger. Is arriving with his sister,
Helen Westley, and his daughter, Lo
retta Young, and wishes a table reserv
ed for every night. Thus, when Men
jou wins enough at baccarat to cover
his borrowings, and finds that his
slim, handsome young opponent, Ty
rone power, has not the money to
cover his losses, he can force Tyrone,
upon threat of exposure to the police,
to masquerade as His Highness,
Prince Alexia Panalefr, in a scheme
to win the affections of the "lovely
Loretta and a marriage settlement
from her father.
To tell more of the plot would be
to ivln the climax for ambitious
movie-goer? , but the fact leaks
through that Tyrone and Loretta are
united together after many hectic in
cidents, etc. '

Vice Expose Film
With Bette Davis
On Rialto Screen
Following on the heels of recent
sensational headlines which ripped
the lid off one of the most amazing
vice syndicates In this country, comes
now a modern Hollywood motion
picture that dares to tell the truth
and reveals with astounding frank
ness the vicious working of the giant
octopus that destroys the happiness
of many an American woman and
home. A very unusual and decidedly
dlffernt picture Is "Marked Woman,"
which opens a three-day run at the
Rialto theater today with Bctte Davis
tn the starring role.
Packing a terrific dramatic wallop,
"Marked Woman" is entertainment
of the highest csllbre. The plot of
the film concerns the millions of In
nocent women who are subjected each
year to the torcherous orgies and se
duced to the vice rackets. TiT'this
picture, Bette Davis plays one of the
countless women who are swept up
each year to serve In vice headquar
ters and "clip Joints." Eduardo Clan
nclli, the smooth villain In pictures,
takea over the night club where Miss
Davis la hostess and turns it into a
closed door "clip Joint." and forces
her to help, with her hostesses, rob
the patrons by luring them Into the
gambling and vice rooms.
When a patron of the night club
1a killed by one of ClannelU's "hench
men." a city-wide protest against the
racketeers gathers force. Humphrey
Bogart, as the young attorney, arrests
and prosecutes the gang. Aided by
Bette, who turns against ClannelU's
gang when her sister Is murdered, he
Is able to break up the racketeering
mob and set free the imprisoned host
esses. As the hard and cynical hostess
whose vulnerable point la her devo
tion to her sister, Bette Davis turns
In a performance that la due to top
even her "Dangerous." for which she
won the award. Besides Miss Davis,
Bogart and Ctannelll, the cast also
Includes Isabel Jewell. Allen Jenkins,
Lola Lane.. Raymond Hatton and

In California, with branches in sev
eral states, to take all of the local

Wards Plan Parade
For Bicycle Riders
As Saturday Event
I love a parade f
Who doesn't? Everybody does.
What parade? In this case the
Montgomery Ward, Med ford, bicycle
parade with the bikes ell dressed up
and the riders, too. ,
That's really the idea of the par
ade, in fact to dress up both your
self ?nd your bike, and go wheeling
down the street with Beveral Hun
dred other riders, and perhaps win a
prize of $3. 3 or $2 in Montgomery
Ward merchandise for the first, sec
ond or third best decorated bike.
The parade takes place next Sat
urday June 26. It starts a 10 am.
from 8th end Central, then travels
along the following route. South Ccn:
tral to Sixth street, left to Ivy, left to
Main and right to South Central
The only requirement for enter
ing the parade Is to reelster at the
Ward store, 117 South Central. Any
kind of bieyclc can be ridden. Any
Kind of decoration can be employed.
Ingenuity aa well aa beauty will be
consinered in awarding the prizes.
Last year "flcats" ranged from quaint
Colonial ladies to "ocean going" ves
sels. The Judges will be warned be
forehand that the Imagination of the
paraders wil probably run wild.
Age Is no bar to entering the
parade and, the contest for best dec
ora tea bikes. Prize winners in sim
ilar Montgomery Ward parades In
other cities have been of all ages
one oj them was five years old. An
other gave her age aa 110 and car
ried off first honors. It Is expected
that The majority of paraders will be
boys and girls, but the parade and
contest are not limited to them. Bi
cycling Itself Is becoming lncresslng
ly popular with adults, and plans for
the parade have taken that Into con
sider;' t ion.
Judges who will award the prizes
will be announced later.
Between Lee Tracy, the star, and
Diana Gibson, the comely newly-promoted
lending lady who Is featured
opposite him, a romance runs the
length of their gay, high-preifre
picture, "Behind the Headlines," but
:ta flavor Is more often acrimonious
than sweet, until it ends on a final
tender note. Tracv is a radio news re
porter, and Diana Gibson as a gtrl
newspaper reporter who is his chief
rival. The screen-drama Is packed
with highly exciting Incidents and
tense action.
Behind the Headline" plays at the
Rialto theatre Wednesday and Thurs
day with "League of Frightened Men."
eR Hiring Walter Connolly and Lionel
Stander aa the added feature. "The
League of Frightened Men" Is a new
Nero Wolfe detective mystery.
