Rex Beach's Story,
'The Spoilers" Now
Showing at Theatre
Marlene Dietrich, Randolph
Scott and John Wayne
Are Featured
Heralded as one of the most mem
orable pictures of screen history and
based on the best of Rex Beach’s
seller books, “The Spoilers” comes to
the Plymouth Theatre Thursday only
of this week.
The raw, teeming saga of the
Klondike co-stars Marlene Dietrich,
Randolph Scott and John Wayne.
Produced for Universal by Frank
Lloyd, maker of such screen smashes
as “Mutiny on the Bounty” and the
contemporary “Saboteur,” the film
backs its three-way constellation
with a pretentious supporting cast.
Among the featured players are
Margaret Lindsay, who will have the
opposite feminine lead; Harry Carey,
top-liner of more than 300 pictures;
Richard Barthelmess, in a comeback
character lead, and William Famum,
star of the original “Spoilers.”
Surprise Appearance
In addition, Robert W. Service,
poet laureate of the Alaskan gold
rush and writer of “The Shooting of
Dan McGrew,” appears on the screen
for the first time, playing himself in
a brief sequence.
The keynote of the new “Spoilers”
is the famous quotation from Kip
ling, “There’s never a law of man or
God holds North of ’53.”
It is the story of La Dietrich as
Cherry Malotte, a shrewd, seductive,

“A-Haunting We Will Go”
Reaches New Heights
In Laugh-Provoking
Sh-h! With nothing up their
sleeves and nothing in their heads,
except laughs aplenty. Laurel and
Hardy are coming to the Plymouth
Theatre Friday only in “A-Haunting
We Will Go,” a rollicking film which,
judging from advance notices,
abounds in practically all the ingre
dients of solid entertainment—magic,
murder, mirth, action and romance.
Just when we need it most, it seems
that Stan and Ollie have come up
with their hilarious best. And some
thing new has been added in the per
son of Dante, the great magician,
who performs feats never before seen
on the screen.
Ravishing Shelia Ryan and John
Shelton are teamed in the romantic
interludes. They are just two people
happy in love, until Stan and Ollie’s
misadventures inexorably encompass
their lives too.
But it looks this time as if all of
Stan's and Ollie's bungling will have
to be forgiven, because it inadvertent
ly brings a gang of criminals before
the bar of justice and threatens to
bring down the house.
