NORMA SHEARER HAS A WEAK MOVIE STORY ‘Their Own Desire,’ Although Lavishly Mounted, Fails to Handle a Dramatic Problem Satisfactorily. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN IT seems that Norma Shearer has something in “Their Own Desire” which is miles away from a hit. Although this movie has been given a lavish setting and some of the costumes are beautiful, the story does not arrive. The fact is, iMss Shearer is miles away from the dramatic and comedy form which she displayed In “The Last of Mrs. Cheney.” She has developed a stage laugh which sounds more like a giggle than anything else.
She ssems nervous, and even her conversation does not convince, even in her big scene w hen she denounces Lewis Stone, cast as her wealthy father, who went the merry merry with another married women at an age when he should be home taking
a nap at his own fireside. And then she trails off into her funny stage giggle or laugh for no reason. I admit that this strange trick got on my nerves. The time has arrived when the producer must be more careful in selecting talking vehicles for their stars. “Their Own Desire” is often less than fair en-

tertainment. The author probably tried to seriously handle the problem of the modern divorce, but even his characters do not ring true. At no time did I have any sympathy for Miss Shearer as the daughter who decides to marry the son of the woman who wrecked the lives of her own mother and father. Even Stone did not impress me as being sincere in his role. Belle Bennett Is cast as the wife of Stone, w T ho cries all over the lot, making life miserable for herself and her daughter. You may not agree with me, but it is my opinion that “Their Own Desijre” is a poor picture and should never have been given to Miss Shearer. Be your own judge, as usual.

let's have to have the real thing. Someone else stopped the show at this performance, also. No one other than Charlie and his band. I am telling you, the audience just would not let the show preceed. And as a result Charlie’s orchestra played several encores, each as good as the one preceding. Several of the boys in the orchestra are featured, and they all have a great time. The rest of the stage show was about like the average, not bad, and not exceptionally good. The talkie this week is “Pointed Heels.” Helen Kane. William Pow tell. Fay Wray and Skeet Gallagher, are featured. The story deals with show people and the first quarrels of married life. The picture has been well photographed and recorded. We all know the record of William Powell. He never fails to give a fine performance. He is always an aid to any picture. He knows how to talk and he knows how to act. As for Helen Kane, she speaks for herself. Her baby talk and ways of singing songs clicks. Her personality and unlimited vitality brings life and pep into any picture she is cast. I am sure you will like “Pointed Hels” for its’s comedy, good plot, and good acting. I did. Good entertainment. Ed Resener scores again this week conducting the pit orchestra in I "Poet and Peasant.” Other features are Dessa Byrd and Newsreel. This week at the Indiana until Friday.—(By Connell Turpin.) a m a CONSIDERING "LILIES OF THE FIELD" As I recall “Lilies of the Field” on the stage, it was one of those attempts to dish the dirt concerning show girls who do not pretend to live on their salaries. The chief lily is played by Corinne Griffith, who becomes a show girl when her husband divorces her on evidence which was not all together true. You get the impression that the evidence was a nastly frameup but even that fact does not make one sympathize with this woman. She fights for a long time the advances of a rich young man around town, played by Ralph Forbes in a very wooden way, who will give her everything but a marriage license. Finally, she gives up the fight and becomes a lily, one of those kept women in a large apartment, servants, jewels and the like. The story drage around when her ow n child dies and the lily gets a shock which lands her in police court on a charge none too pleasant. Then the rich men decides to take her out of the lily class and when you leave the theater you have his promise that he will marry her, but the director wasted no footage in proving it. The story is without a punch, it really lacks a sufficient climax. The story is padded and in some scenes Miss Griffith is entirely too emotional. Often she is guilty of overacting. Her talking voice is fair. John Loder is in the cast. Probably the saving bit of acting, and that is not too brillant, is contributed by May Boley, one of those'
hard-boiled dames of the night who has accumulated a fortune in jewels. Mast of the assisting lilies in the cast have been well chosen as to cast. It seems to me that the director has been afraid to handle the theme without gloves. The result is just another movie. Now at the Circle. La Argentina. Spanish dancer, will appear tonight at the Murat under direction of Ona B. Talbot. Tonight at English’s ‘“The New Moon” opens a w’eek’s engagement. “Hot for Paris” is now in its second week at the Apollo. Other theaters today offer: "Christina” at the Lyric, “Pretty Babies” at the Mutual, "The Love Parade” at the Ohio, “Models of 1930” at the Rialto, and “Half Way to Heaven” at the Granada.
Sheppard, Pioneer in War on Liquor, Always a Dry
Editor’s Note: This is the third of a series on prohibition personalities in the current controversies. BY PAUL R. MALLON, United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.—The driest man in the world is Senator Morris Sheppard, the Texas Democrat, author of the eighteenth amendment, champion of a pending bill to make the buyer of liquor equally guilty with the bootlegger and a central figure in the present prohibition reform controversy. Sheppard hates liquor. He hates beer. He hates wines. And he hates any one who likes them. He looks upon alcohol as a poison, or a drug, and he was the first public official to take the leadership for prohibition in 1910, because he looked upon it as a health measure. Fresh from Yale in 1898, when beer mugs were prominent educational accoutrements, Sheppard came to congress as secretary to his father, a Texas representative. He never owned a Yale mug and he never drank at Yale. His first demand for prohibition was in a public letter sent to a friend in Texas in 1911, recommending a state prohibition law. The letter did not have much effect because the lajv was defeated at that time by 5,000 majority. However, he took up the cause and ran for senate in 1912 on a platform for “state-wide prohibition, nation-wide prohibition and world-wide prohibition.” He soon came to the realization of the first two planks in his three-plank platform. There have been several stories afloat in Washington, and some of
Verdict of the New Movies PALACE—“Their Own Desire” is a poor vehicle, and more so since Norma Shearer is wasted in it. CIRCLE—“Lilies of the Field” is just another movie and fails to live up to its stage reputation. APOLLO—“Hot For Paris” is now In its second week here. Wide difference of opinion regarding this one. INDIANA—George Dewey Washington and Charlie Davis are the real hit on this bill.

FIND HITHERTO LOST TOMB OF EGYPTIAN KING Discovery Near Meydum Is Regarded Invaluable by Archaelogists. By Science Service PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 27.—The great tomb of an unknown Egyptian whe lived about 2800 B. C. has been discovered and entered by the expedition from the museum of the University of Pennsylvania, working at Meydum, fifty miles south of Cairo. A report just received from the director, Alan Rowe, states that the tomb is one of the largest ever found in Egypt, and it is believed that some of the burial chambers never have been plundered. The site already is producing surprises. The tomb is a mastabah, that is, a construction with sloping sides and flat top, w’hich covered the entrance to the burial chambers be-

neath. Mr. Rowe states that “after removing the debris from the tops and sides of the huge brick retaining walls, we were astonished to find that these walls were honeycombed with intrusive burials dating from the New Empire, 2000 B. C., or later.” About forty Egyptians had taken over the tomb for a cemetery hundreds pf years after the original owner’s funeral. These were persons of means, for many of the burials are wrapped carefully, mummies lying in rectangular or manshaped coffins. Some of the coffins are brightly painted with elaborate religious symbols and hieroglyphics. It was customary in the days of the pyramid-building pharaohs for nobles to place their less monumental tombs close by the king's pyramid. The great mastabah now being cleared is close to the so-called false pyramid of Meydum. The passage into this pyramid now is being cleared by the expedition, and the task is described by Rowe as being long and arduous. The pyramid in its present damaged state has three receding square stories. Which of the pharaohs built it is not yet certain. “Meydum certainly is 6ne of the most important sites in Egypt,” Rowe’s communication states, “and we are convinced that a thorough
exploration of the great pyramid and the surrounding land will produce discoveries of great interest and significance.” Court Work Increases Pil Times Special RICHMOND. Ind., Jan. 27.—A1l departments of the Wayne circuit court did an increased business dur-
