Edward Sloan, whose splendid direction of "His People" and other plctures brought him fame, directed “Allas the Deacon." The cast playing in medals and labels to members of St. support of Hersholt includes June John Ambulanca Brigade by H. E. Marlowe, Ralph Graves, Myrtle the Officer, Administering the Goy Stedman, Ned Sparks, Lincoln, ernment at Govt House, 6 p.m. Plummer, and Tom Kennedy. "Allas the Deacon," besides a strong story, adapted from the big stage success, has quite a number of real thrills.
