MUNICIPAL THEATRE
TO-NICHT'S ATTRACTiONS. Ron\ance, comedy, mystery and auspense -are blended in an absorbing story of murder by telegraph in Columbia's "Shakedown" starring Lew Ayres and Joan Perry, which shows tonight at* the Municipal Theatre. Weaving a delightful dove story against a thrilling background of fqst action m a great telegraph company's ofiice, "^Shakedown" is an unusual story, with Ayres giving one .of his best screen performances and Miss Perry giving fprther evidence that she is a young lady with eonsiderable taleni. A fine cast gives them excellent sup- ^ port, adding to ,the picture's merit. The tender, if turbulent, 1870 romance of a cultured young kpedagogue in a . California mining town and a restless, uneontrolled motherless girl unites Anne Shirley and John Beal as a team in the motion picture, "JVl'liss", aiso at the Municipal. The drama that inevitably tiows from t-he conflict of this incongruous pair is lighted with excitement by reason of tbe fact that any attractive unattached girl became a target for the impetuous desires of men living by tbe law of force in the primitive towns of early California.
