Floyd Thompson’s Harmonists wil be heard in a novelty program of music and song, including solo numbers by Frank, Owens, Bob Jones and Virgil Monks. -I- -I- -|- “MOXEV TALKS” TO BE AT THE OHIO “Money Talks,” the screen version of the famous story by Rupert Hughes, will be the attraction at the Ohio Theater for the coming week with an outstanding cast including Owen Moore, Claire Windsor, Bert Roach, Ned Sparks, Phillips Smalley, Dot Farley and Kathleen Key. The theme of the picture, which was directed by Archie Mayo and adapted for the screen by Jessie Burns and Bernard Vorhaus, is a variation of the old adage, “Nothing ventured, nothing gained.” The story concerns the amusing experience which come to a goodnatured, penniless spendthrift who, after his wife has decided to leave him until he has made good, is brought to a realization that he must do something to make up for the trouble he has caused her. He starts out “selling himself” to a big island hotel proprietor, -whose hobby resort is a failure. On his own, and without the cohsent of the proprietor, he begins an extensive and sensational advertising campaign, proclaiming the quietness of the’ island as a health resort. The proprietor is enraged, but when many influential New Yorkers begin phoning for information regarding the health resort, his anger turns to excitement and he wildly calls for the originator of the plan. Owen Moore reveals a remarkable talent for comedy, it is said, in a type of role entirely new to him. He plays the part of an energetic, aggressive spender of other people's money, and in one amusing sequence finds it necessary to impersoiaf- in e*cent- c feona'’- physician, who is called upon to attend the ailr. ents of a shipload of invalids.

The program of supplementary film attractions will include a comedy, “Cleaning Up,” featuring Johnny Arthur, and a Pathe News. •I* -I* -I“THE WILDERNESS WOMAN” BOOKED AT CIRCLE “The Wilderness Woman” will be shown the coming week at the Circle Theater with Aileen Pringle, Chester Conklin and Lowell Sherman in the leading roles.

Having startled New York, Kadiak finds himself in the tolls of a pair of confidence men who set out to fleece him of his newly found wealth. The engineer who appraised their mine finds them all alone in New York, beset on every hand by strangers and confidence games. The engineer comes up on the pair in strange straits. The father is about to buy the subway and the daughter is being held in a private room of a supper club. The veneer of civilization which has held the two Alaskans in check cracks off and the story takes on an unusual turn, which gives it the most unique climax cf any picture made thus far this year.

Bu .VE.4 Service HOLLYWOOD, June s.—The 1926 bathing beach costume of the film set is being directed primarily at the imagination; rather than at the untutored and gaping eye of the beholder, as the season opens hereabouts. Coyness, not boldness, is the keynote in seaside manners. A wave of conservatism has very markedly expanded the one-time brief, not to say negligible, onepiece suit which, if memory serves right, was lnunohed upon a breathless world by the old Sennett beauty chorus. Two-piece attire is the fashion of the hour among the movie leaders. And, worn by some who helped popularize the former skin-tight models, they seem strangely old-fashioned. Most of the surf designs are profusely decorated, covering the entire body, without even a knee showing. If, as is usually the case, the bathing populace follows the pace of the movie mermaids, seaside censors will actually have time this year to do a little swimming themselves. However, none of the suits fails to accentuate the figure most alluringly. They set their wearers apart from the horde. And, as Marie Prevost, who came to stardom via the Mack Sennett bathing beauty clan, succinctly states the case—“ They lend an air of intrigue which the skin-tight, single-piece suit failed to achieve.” Among celebrities seen In twopiece suits with stockings at the official beach opening day were Colleen Moore, Florence Vidor, Clara Bow, Esther Ralston, Marguerite de la Motte, Mary Brian and Lelita Lee. -I- + -IThere Is a gaping wound In the side of Hollywood where wreckers are leveling the historic movie buildings on the Famous PlayersLaskey lot, an the company pre-

Soon modern Hollywood found and enveloped the barn and its cluster of always growing stages.

Over a period of years I have by massage developed a protective callous above the eyes and over the cheek bones, and a padding of hard flesh over the nerve centers along the jaws, so that blows will rebound Instead of sinking into any portion of my face.”
