MUNICIPAL THEATRE
TO-NIGHT'S ATTRACTIONS. Romance, comedy, mystery and suspens© are blended in an absorbing story of murder by telegraph in Colum- ' bia's "Shakedown," starring . Lew Ayres and Joan Perry, which opens tonight at the Municipal Theatre. Weaving a delightful love story against a thrilling background of fast action in a great telegraph company's ofBce, •'ShakedgvVn" is an unusual story, with. Ayrea giving one of his best spreen performances and MisB Perry giving fprther evidence that she is a young lady with considerable talent. A fine cast gives them excellent support, adding to the picture's merit. The tender, if turbulent, 1870- romance of a cultured young pedagogue in a California- mining town and a restless, uncontrolled motherless girl unites Anne Shirley and John Beal as a team in the motion picture, "M'liss", also at the Municipal. The drama that inevitably flows from the conflict of this incongruous pair is lighted with excitement by reason of the fact that any attractive unattach- ; ed girl became a target for the impetuous desires of men living by thf law of force in the primitive towns of early California.
