his strange actions during the game. Peggy Shannon in The Painted Wo Auspicion is directed toward Buck Bachanan (Phillips Holmes), quarter. back of the team and Walter's best friend. Buck, moreover, is known to be the brother of Slip Buchanan (Lew Cody), notorious gambler, who finds it to his interest to have University win the game. But in spite of cir cumstantial evidence, Detective Me. Konna (David Landau), Clark's sister (Dorothy Jordan), and others inter- ested in the case do not belleve that Buck is guilty. Both Clark's murder- er and the manner of his death re-. main a mystery until the film reaches n sensational denouement with the repetition of the fatal game, play by play.

"Too Busy To Work." Because he was not required to wear evening clothes, high hats, powdered wigs, or other trapping in the production of "Too Busy To Work", Will Rogers enjoyed making it. It is the attraction' at the King's Theatre next Sunday.

Rogers dislikes

"dresa up" and in

his daily life wears the most ordinary clothes. A pair of well worn trousers, a mole-akin jumper and a white shirt minus necktie, constitute his most frequently worn outfit. He does not dress suit and, at publie own a functions, his attire la invariably a blue serge business suit.

In "Too Busy To Work", he appears na a vagabond wanderer and wears a costume that fits both the role and his personality.

"Too Busy To Work" is based on a story by Ben Ames Williams and deals with the adventures of a penniless, happy-go-lucky tramp who other walks, or dies the brake beams of freight cars, from place to place in search of his daughter who disappear. ed while he was fighting at the front.

The child, now a young woman, ac- companies her mother when she runs away with a man in more affluent eir- cumstances. The mother dies and the girl becomes the head of her foster father's household and falls in love with his son,

There is pathos in many of the situations in the picture, but Rogers is said to have ample opportunity for introducing the brand of comedy for which he is famous. Marian Nixon shares the love interest with Dick Powell, a recent discovery whose only previous picture role was in "Blessed Event"

"The Hall Naked Truth" Jackie, 180 pounds of five-year-old lon, was the most respected actor during the production of "The Half Naked Truth" showing at the Central Theatre to-day only. Leo Tracy, Lupe Velez, Eugene Palette, Frank Morgan and Shirley Chambers may actually have been enacting the featured roles, but Jackie held the respect of the troupe with his giant claws and menacing teeth.

The lion, claimed by Trainer Melvin Koontz to be as gentle as a kitten has worked in motion pictures since cub- hood. He was born at Selly Zoo in Los Angeles, which specializes in producing and training motion ple- ture animals.
