He just dropped off a train, with a huge bankroll of eighteen dol lars in his pocket and asked the sta tion master, "Where’s Hollywood?” Warren William Featured As Big Political Boss In rThe Dark Horse9 Comedy The first political picture of our hectic political annum is due here soon. In a General Electon year, with pri maries, conventions and elections spot ting the nation; with candidates from poundkeeper to president engaging the voters, "The Dark Horse,” a First Na tional picture which comes to the Vic tory Theatre, affords a most timely glimpse of behind-the-scenes activities of political leaders. Advance reports reaching the man agement of the Victory Theatre put "The Dark Horse” in the running as one of the standout screen offerings of the year. Aside from its timeliness, the picture apparently is an authentic story of political manipulation, high lighted by comedy and melodramatic action in which Warren William, the sensation of "The Mouthpiece,” plays the role of a "maker of men.” Queen Of Legs Is Judge Of Leg Show Juan-Les-Pins, France—Mistinguett, possessor of the world’s most beauti ful legs, will act as presiding judge in a competition here to decide upon the owners of the six pairs of most shapely limbs, from which the "Queen of Legs” will be chosen by the public.
