New Theater Makes Play
For Show Customers But
Old Houses Packed, Too
‘The More the Merrier,' Says Manager—Two of New
Pictures Will Give Air-Minded a Kick—
; ‘High Society Blues’ Held Over
By JACK GORDON.
A NEW theater was in the show picture Sunday making
A its first play for the week-end crowds.
The new house was packed to capacity. Yet if there
was any fall-off at the older halls, you couldn’t notice it
“It takes theaters—the more the merrier—to make a
show town,” said one manager.
He cast a welcome eye in the direction of the new Hol-
lywood.
The new pictures seemed to please most of those in the
Sunday crowds. •--------------------------
Buddy at Worth
"Young Eagles’ is a faint echo
of "Wings," with Charles "Bud-
dy" Rogers again bedecked with
the wings of an American flying
officer.
There’s an aerial dog battle be-
tween Buddy and Von Baden, ace
of German pilots. This would he
a lot more exciting if the mark-
ings of the planes were more dis-
tinct. As it is, it's hard to tell
who’s who as the ships dive and
wheel about.
First National got around this
difficulty in "Lilac Time" by hav-
ing the German planes colored
red, as was Richthofen’s famous
flying circus during ths World
war.——-----------:-----
Rogers remains just s big kid
from Kansas trying to get along—
and doing so mainly on the
strength of a handsome shock of
curly hair and Pepsodent teeth.
Rogers can hardly be taken seri-
ously as sn sctor.
Paul Lukas, playing the part of
the great Von Baden, who Is shot
down and captured by Buddy,
gives the blue ribbon perform-
ance of the‘film. Joan Arthur is
the girl loved by both.
The dumb Swede lover of Helen
Kane In "Sweetie" is Buddy's pal
and gets in the laughs of "Young
Eagles." This boy is no slouch
as a comedian.
Walter Hagen and Leo Diegel
do some fancy sharpshooting In
"Match Play," a two-reel comedy
from the Mack Sennett studio.
This picture is s feather in the
cap of everybody connected with
It.
Chicago rum runners. There is
comedy in it, but Scarface Louie
seems more amused than anyone
in the audience.
Janet Gaynor and Charles Far-
rell are held over for a second
week in "High Society Blues,” a
highly entertaining picture.—K.

Are You Here?
You may be in the movies!
If you were at the formal open-
ing of the new Hollywood last
Thursday night, chances are the
movie cameraman got you as you
came into the door.
Pictures of the opening have
been added to the Hollywood bill,
which is headlined by "Flight.”
Miso Faye MeBurney is seen
christening the beautiful new
house with a bottle of Lake
Worth water, while Manager Clin-
ton Donnelly presents the key to
the Hollywood to City Councilman
A. E. Thomas.------
Frank Mack and Mrs. Mack
probably take the ribbon for be-
ing the most dressed-up couple at
the premiere. The cameraman
caught them strolling In—Mack
in full dress.
There’s a flash of Rev. J. K.
Thompson giving the Invocation
and A. P. Barrett making a
speech.
Ralph Graves, Jsck Holt and
Lila Lee are starred in "Flight."
The story carries - Holt and
Graves,’ Marine aviators, from the
training camp at Pensacola to
Nicaragua, where the air force is
mobilized against the bandits
The film is a top-notch adventure
yarn with Holt and Graves turn-
ing in fine performances.
"Flight" will hold forth at the
Hollywood thru Wednesday.
Olive Borden—Well!

The ladies have it in the vaude-
ville program at the Majestic this
week. True, there are also men '
present, but the opposite sex gets Olive Borden pops up after a

BEING PRINTED
IN FINAL FORM
Five Powers to Convene
Tuesday and Sign
9000-Word Paper
By United Press. ,
LONDON, April 21.—Heads of
the five delegations to the naval
conference approved the treaty
In Its final form today and sent
it to the printers.
The text probably will be is-
sued to the press at midnight for
release tomorrow when the dele-
gates will meet at St. James Pal-
see to sign the five-power agree-
ment achieved In negotiations
here since Jan. 21.
The chief delegates of the
United States, Great Britain,
France, Italy and Japan met at
St. James’ and scrutinized the
text of the agreement — which
Includes a three-power limitation
pact. The drafting committee and
the jurists’ committee also held
final meetings in preparation for
the closing plenary session to-
morrow. American delegatee
will sail Wednesday.
The experts, at their final ses-
sions, definitely agreed that the
text of the treaty would be be-
tween 8000 and 9000 words, cov-
ering about 32 pages divided
into two columns. The column
on the left will be in English
and on the right will be in
French.
Many minor alterations were
made today, making it necessary
to reprint the entire text in both
languages.
By United Press.
PARIS, April 21. — Foreign
Minister Aristide Briand and Min-
istet of Marine Jacques-Louis
Dumesnil left for London on the
noon train today to affix their
signatures to the five-power na-
val treaty tomorrow.
Tardieu was prevented from
going because tax reductions will
be discussed in the Chamber of
Deputies tomorrow, after which
the opposition may pose a ques-
tion of confidence. The Premier
felt it best that he remain here
to meet the arguments of the
opposition.

JOUETT SHOUSE
SEES DEMOCRAT
CONGRESS NEX
Jefferson Day Gatherings
Being Held Thruout
Nation Today
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., April
21.—Democrats and Progressive
Republicans will control the next
Congress, Jouett Shouse, chair-
man of the National Democratic
Executive Committee, predicted
today, sounding a note of opti-
mism for Jefferson Day observ-
ances thruout the nation.
"The day of the Democrats
has come again," the Democratic
leader said. "The party in pow-
er has lost Its strength by writ-
ing a tariff bill more exorbi-
tant than the Hawley bill or
Mr. Grundy’s substitute."
Shouse will be guest speaker
tonight at a Jefferson Day meet-
ing of Democrats from Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Iowa and the Da-
kotas,
"Conservative estimates Indicate
the Democrats will control the
House by winning at least 40
seats," Shouse said. "Only 53
seats are necessary to give’ the
party absolute control, and the
Inevitable coalition with Pro-
gressive Republicans undoubted-
ly will put a new party in pow-
er."
Shouse said the increasing
strength of the Democrats is
shown by more than 1500 Jeffer-
son Day gatherings scheduled
thruout the country today.

Powell at Tivoli
Thanks to William Powell and
a story that keeps you guessing.
"Street of Chance," at the Tiv-
oli Is a melodrama not to be
missed.
It is a relief to see Powell out
of his Philo Vance role. Powell
makes a Philo Vance that leaves
nothing to be desired but it is
painful to see so fine an actor
held into a groove..
In "Street of Chance,’ he is
"Natural" Davis, king of New
York gamblers.
The drsmstie pot begins to
boil when "Natural" swallows
his honor and cheats In his first
game to save a kid brother froth
the “racket.”
Powell turns in one of his
greatest pieces of acting.
The ending is grim, but just
as you would have it.
