BABE RUTH IN BALL
PICTURE AT PALACE
Babe Ruth in “Headin' Home" iB
it the Palace tonight and tomorrow.
The synopsis of the story is as fol
lows:
Babe, typical "bad boy” has ap
parently only one ambition in life
and that is to become a ball player.
This ambition is made the laughing
stock of a skeptical village. Babe
Is characterized as a "good-for-noth
-infl". miti Jifl Uvea ..up to... this reputa
'tlon by doing as little work as possi
ble, although at the outset of the
picture he is found in a dense wood
looking for something to chop. The
author has guided him to the side of
a young ash sapling and, of course,
Babo chops it down and proceeds
to turn the virgin timber into the
bat with which he makes his first
homer in the Ilaveriock League.
That homer was a bird—travelled
only five blocks, the ball crashing
through a memorial window that was
to be “launched" in the village
Church. This w.ts too much for the
village. In fact, after that inci
dent Babe decided to leave town;
lnfact, the church folk handed down
a decision that he leave and Babe
hurriedly leaps out of town, leaving
behind his sweetheart, Mildren. But
he doesn't make his departure until
after telling the intruding “city
Chap," who has left no stone unturned
to harm the village "bad boy," that
someday he'll be selling popcorn at
<a ball park where Babe will be the
attraction. And sure enough in the
■city Babe makes good and in time
-lte Is invited to sign a contract with
a major league team.
•‘THE SEA WOLF" LAST
♦TIME AT COLISEUM
v Some idea of the large and realis
tic scale upon which Jack London’s j
famous story, "The Sea Wolf,” has
been made into a motion picture may
. lie gathered from the fact that Pro
ducer George Melford hired a ferry
boat and brought in a big schooner i
Outright in ofcder to stage the vcol-l
iision between the two crafts in San |
Francisco Bay. The - schooner Is
demolished fa the crash.
However, not all the episodes were
••shot” so near the shore, as the;
players made frequent trips outi
through the Golden Gate into thej
Open sea. A memorable day which
they spent some fifty miles from
shore during a severe gale in a not
too seaworthy fishing boat while thej
camera registered the destruction be
ing wrought all around them by the
wind and storm will live long in the
minds of Noah Beery, who plays
•'Wolf Larsen." Mabel Julienne
Scott. Tom Forman, and the other
members of the cast. But Director.
Melford expressed the convictions
of all when he declared, "I want
&> millpond 'Wolf.”’
"The Sea Woff is on for the last)
time at the Coliseum tonight.

Racing Auto Takes Gas and
Oil “On the Run”
While racing along at a speed of nearly
60 miles an hour to break a record, an
automobile recently was supplied with
gas, oil, water, and relief drivers without
stopping the ear during a 3,155-mile run
made in 60 hours 21 minutes. Although
three stops were made for tires during this
time, fcbs i&giae Was kept g-.-aig withvdi
pause. All the other supplies were taken
aboard, without stopping the machine,
from another car which ran alongside dur
ing the period of delivery.
Radio Speeds Up Taking of
* Moving Pictures
Radio carried orders of the movie direc
tor t# 5,000 members of the cast in a big
Beene in a western studio recently. Where,
usually, the megaphone is used to shout
instructions, while camera men are turn
ing the cranks, this director, standing at a
point from which he had a clear view of all
the actors, spoke his orders calmly into a
sending instrument, Which made it heard
clearly all over the lot. The directing,
somewhat difficult becauae of the number
of people employed, was simplified by use
of radio, and the movie man predicted that
it will be repeated in other big scenes.
The same system was used to increase the
carrying power of broadcast messages and
aoncarU at the receiving end. Use of
■adio in tins case nut only spared the
lirector's voice, but jt produced better re
mits by making it Jswsible for all the
ictors quickly to go through with the
icene without freouent stops.

MARRIAGE NO EAST MATTER IN
RUSSIA: HEARTLESS LAWS ARE

her home in .automatic American citi-,
zenesa ami show her proudly to his
folks.
But today things are different. A
few weeks ago one young member of
the Near East Relief mission in j
Armenia got a brief vacation and
came through Moscow on his way j
to Warsaw to marry there a lovely;
Polish girl who had waited for him j
two years. They had met when he
was with the American^ted Cross;
and she a nurse on the T’ollsh bat
tlefields against the Russians. I
“I'll be back in ten days; save a
room for us at the hotel,” the Amer
ican said blithely and confidently as
he left Moscow.
Six weeks later he returned, with
his bride, having miraculously un
tangled miles of red tape and over
come. with the assistance of every
official, Polish and American alike in
Warsaw and Mo: ow. obstacles that
left both bride and groom too tired to
enjoy a honeymoon.
In Poland a woman automatically
takes on the citizenship of her hue
hand and, therefore, should lose her
Polish passport. American rules, due
to the new law, prevent consuls from
pasting foreign wives’ pictures on bus
bands' passports. One cannot enter
Russia without a passport, and it ie
particularly difficult for a Polish sub
Ject to secure a visa to enter Russia
at all. American law required thiP
couple to have two passports, his
American, her's Polish. Polish law
and the Russian difficulties in the
way of Poles entering, required them
to havb one, and this American.
Finally the young man prevailed
upon the Polish authorities to give
his wife a Polish passport, and upon
an American consular official to give
him a letter stating that the couple
had been legally married, although
the bride Was not an American citi
zen. TBe worried bridegroom pasted
his wife’s picture on the letter, at
tached the letter to ills own passport,
and finally got through. ,

If You Need a Medicine

plain—the article did not fulfil the

has real curative value almost sells
itself, as like an endless chain sys
