A SURPRISE headliner, one
of the most sensational

The screen feature will be "Feel
My Pulse."
a system of clever gymnastic
feats; a miniature musical comedy,
"Auto Row," will be presented
by Frank Favis and
Adele Darnell; an elaborate revue
with Minor and Root, two
musical comedy stars, assisted
by a large company, and designated
as "Dance, Color and
Speed," will be one of the high
spots of the program.
Supplementing the bill, there
will be shown Bebe Daniel's latest
comedy hit, "Feel My Pulse,"
in which the captivating star is
shown as a "near-invalid," restored
to health by a series of
humorous complications. Latest

Day will be shown.
STANLEY
The much heralded screen version
of John Erskine's popular
satirical novel, "The Private Life
of Helen of Troy," will be the
Stanley Jubilee Week attraction
at the Stanley Theatre begin-
do Cortez will be the notorious
Paris.
The picture has comedy in
generous proportions—sly, subtle,
broad and humorous by turn.
It takes ancient Greek mythology
as its foundation, with particular
stress upon the abduction
of Helen by Paris and the famous
wooden horse which led to
the Trojan war. The unusual
feature is that the story makes
the characters so human that
they might have lived today, and
the episode of the elopement is
made intensely funny. The picture
is richly costumed and displays
sets of breath taking magnitude.
On the stage the Stanley Jubilee
Strutters will entertain with
a melange of songs, dances and
beautiful girls. Feature acts
culled from musical comedy and
the Broadway Revue stage will
contribute their specialties, the
whole to be staged in a setting
of gorgeous brilliance. Adding
to the gaiety will be a Kazoo
Chorus of 4000. Screen views of
the latest news events will be
shown.
