'Polly of the Circus'
at Colonial Theatre
Sunday and Monday
MARION DAVIES WITH CLARK
GABLE IN A TALE OF A
STORMY MARRIAGE
Marin Davies will be seen Sunday
and Monday at the Colonial Theatre,
Bay City, in "Polly of the Circus,"
romantic story of th'2 marriage of a
circus star to a small-town minister.
This is Miss Davies' first talkie
since "Five and Ten" and is of par-
ticular importance, since it brings her
to the screen in the most dramatic
characterization of her career and
marks the first appearance opposite
her of Clark Gable, the most popular
leading man in films.
The picture is based in the play
by Margaret Mayo, produced some
years ago on Broadway with great
success and also made into a silent
picture. It is a quaint love story told
against a flamboyant circus back-
ground and replete with spectacle and
drama.
The plot concerns a circus aerialist
who is annoyed at the crusading ac-
tivities of a small-town minister. She
falls during her act and is taken to
his house to recover. They fall in
love, but the romance breeds a scan-
dal. In the face of opposition from
, important clergymen, they are mar-
ried and the resultant unfrocking of
' the minister clouds their marital hap-
piness. The circus girl then plans a
desperate sacrifice to reunite the min-
ister and the church.
The supporting cast includes such
sterling players as C. Aubrey Smith
as a bishop; Raymond Hatton as a
dipsomaniacal sexton; David Landau
as an old circus clown; Ruth Selwyn,
Maude Eburne, Little Billy, Guinn
Sparkling entertainment with a
champaignlike quality of buoyancy is
afforded in "Lady With a Past," Con-
stance Bennett's new contribution to
the screen. The picture plays Satur-
day at the Colonial Theatlre, Bay City.
The golden-haired star steps forth
with a new characterization refresh-
ingly different from those she has
been given in her recent films, and it
is one in which she is entirely at home.
Her role is that of a young New York
society girl who blossoms forth from
a sky wallflower into a dazzling
charmer under the influence of Paris
and expert masculine tutelage.
Not only does the part fit Miss Ben-
nett perfectly but it gives her an op-
portunity to display the ultimate in
I chic gowns and wardrobe accessories.
Feminine film fans are going to love
this one for the fashion sihow it af-
fords, alone.
Story Is Gay
The appeal of the production is far
from being limited to the eye, how-
ever, despite the loveliness of the
star and her wardrobe. The story is
gay, charming and intensely human,
Miss Bennett's supporting cast is more
than adequate, Edward H. Griffith has
directed with the same understanding
! mastery that characterized his work
| with "Holiday" and "Rebound." RKO
Pathe has gone the limit in provid-
ing beautiful sets, excellent atmos-
j phere, players and everything else that
! goes to give a picture production val-
ues.
The screen play, by Horace Jackson,
based upon Harriet Henry's new novel,
deals with a girl who is too shy and
serious to attract men. In Paris, how-
ever, she falls under the guidance of
a charming gigolo, becomes the toast
of the ball rooms and cafes, attracts
a lot of beaus, and through a turn of
circumstances, finds herself a "Lady
With a Past." Then, her old ac-
quaintances in New York begin to
sit up and take notice.
Fine Performances
Ben Lyon has the part of the gigolo
and gives a thoroughly delightful per-
formance. Here is one of the best
parts written in many a day and Lyon
does it full justice. David Manners,
as the young New Yorker, who proves
a poor judge of girl values, is also
outstanding. Albert ConU gives a
finished performance as a French vic-
comte who takes love too seriously
and Mema Kennedy and Astrid All-
wyn contribute good performances.
Others in the strong cast who give
good accounts of themselves are Nella
Walker, Blanche Frederici, Don Al-
varado, John Roche, Don Dilloway,
Dorothy Cristy and Cornelius Keefe.
With Miss Bennett at her very best
and looking more gorgeous than ever,
this picture could get along splendid-
ly just on those counts.
ACTOR TAKES PART IN AUTO
CRASH WHILE FILMING
"GAY CABALLERO"
Williams, Clark Marshall, Ray Mil-
land and Lillian Elliott.
Alfred Santell, one of filmland's ace
directors, was at the megaphone end
of the production and is said to have
achieved a masterful touch in bringing
the story to the screen in an up-to-
date manner. He is best known for
his direction of romantic themes, his
most recent being "Daddy Long Legs"
and "Sob Sister."
When a man's living depends upon
his keeping his features unrnarred and
in their right places, it takes consid-
j erable nerve to risk getting himself
j damaged. Yet George O'Brien laughs
> at the danger, ignores the conse-
| quences and continues daily to risk
j his neck while serving thrills for the
camera.
For example, a scene in "The Gay
Caballero," his latest Fox action mel-
odrama in which Victor McLaglen,
Conchita Montenegro and Linda Wat-
kins are also featured, depicts him
driving a high powered car into a
Mexican village to prevent a drunken
band of ruthless vaqueros from lut-
ing the place. The action called for
Conchita to accompany George, and
for the car to be moving at a high
rate of speed in order to furnish the
required realism.
With Miss Montenegro sitting brave-
ly beside him, they charged down upon
the cameras only to receive word from
Alfred Worker, the director, that the
action was too Mow.
"Will you please step out, Conchi-
ta," George asked the charming young
lady from Spain.
Conchita did as she was told. With
everything all set for the "take,"
George gave the big car a wide-open
throttle and thundered into the street
at a terrific rate. As he whirled the
corner called for in the action, the
front wheels hit a mudholo and skid-
ded out of control into a bank of loose
earth. Cameramen anticinated the
careening juggernaut and fled to saf°
ty just in time to escape the smash
as the machine mowed through two
cameras and crashed into a brick wall.
"Great!" with Worker's only com-
ment, and the scene was approved.
"The Gay Caballero" will be shown
at the Colonial Theatre, Bay City,
Friday.

When
food sours
ABOUT two hours after eating, many
people suffer from sour stomachs.
They call it indigestion. It means that
the stomach nerves have been over-
stimulated. There is excess acid. The
way to correct it is with an alkali, which
neutralizes many times its volume in
acid.
The right way is Phillips Milk of
Magnesia—just a tasteless d-sse in water.
It is pleasant, efficient and harmless.
It is the quick method. Results come
almost instantly. It is the approved
method. You will never use another
when you know.
Be sure to get the genuine Phillips
Milk of Magnesia, the Kind physicians
prescribe to correct excess acids. 25c
and 50c a bottle—any drugstore.
"Milk of Magnesia" has been the U. S.
Registered Trade Mark of The Charles
H. Phillips Chemical Company and its
predecessor Charles H. Phillips since
1875.
