"The Girl From Woolworths' Presents Alice White In Role That Wins Her Fresh Laurels Charles Delaney Heads Supporting Cast in Jazzy But Very Human Drama of Whoopee and the Five-and-Ten Dialogue as she is spoke. A whiff of fresh plot ideas, Legs. Curves. Pulchritude with a pull Good music, good singing, clever lines. That describes "The Girl From Woolworth's," which is head- ing a good bill at the New Martin Theatre. But it doesn't halfway describe the genuine enjoyment you're go- ing to get from this First National and Vitaphone offering, because we haven't mentioned Alice White, the dynamic little star of the -plece, and the rest of a really great cast. There's a magic about Alice Little and lively and brave, and packed with sex appeal, she steps in where the film's peerless beau- ties fear to tread and dances cir- clse around them in winning your heart. She did it in "Show Girl" | and 'Broadway Babies," both talk- fes. But you haven't seen her at her best until you see her in "The Girl From Woolworth's." Here, talking, singing, and danc- ing at the head of a night-club chorus, she impresses the magic of her personality on you. You un- derstand how she *"'came up" in the film industry from stenographer to star in two years. Engaged by Solina Trustees <Q Solina, Feb.

Every member of the cast does excellent work. And it wouldn't be fair to pass up a mention of that delect- able, pulchritudinous and clever night-club chorus of twenty-four girls.

New Theory Advanced Disappearance of White Russian General Paris, Feb, 13.--Police seeking to unravel the twisted skein of in- ternational intrigue SUITOR Ing the mysterious disappearance Alexander Pavlovich Koutepoff, former anti-Soviet leader, are now turning their attention to the sea- ports. The putting to sea of a Soviet merchantman from Havre, about time of Koutopoff's disappearance, was called to their attention by the Russian newspaper La Renais. sance, Mystery appeared to shroud the ship's departure, and it is be- lieved to have headed for the Black Sea. The grey limousine in which several persons claim to have seen the "abducted" general, under guard and apparently being rush. ed out of Paris, may have been a ruse to throw police off the scent, some of the Russian colony believe, If the man was actually Koute- poff, it is pointed out, probably he --or his body-----would have bocen transferred to another car on the outskirts of Paris, and taken in the direction of Antwerp or Cher- bourg. Port St. Cloud, through which the grey mystery car passed, is more in the direction of Ant- werp than Montargis, whore the latest investigation has been pro- ceeding. The entire population of Montar- gis turned out to help the police trace the route of the groy limou- sine from the Montargis inn where three Russians are said to have stopped, to the forest where they may have disposed of the gunny- sack in which Koutepoff's body is supposed to have been hidden. DINNER MISSED BY OLD PROSPECTOR Confused His Dates and Failed to Arrive on Time For Christmas Meal (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Quesnel, B.C., Feb. 13.--0u Bill Brown, the Carlboo's oldest prospector, missed his Christmas dinner at Kelly's hotel, in Barker- ville, this winter for the first time in fifty-seven years--and all be- cause he miscalculated his dates. The old prospector has a way all his own of keeping track of the time, He has no use for the con- ventional calendar, but every day he makes a little cross on hig log cabin wall with his knife and when he has 365 of these crosses on the wall he knows that another year has Utterly exhausted from a 20- mile hike through deep snow, dur- ing which he fell many times, the white haired prospector was eight- een hours in making the journey. He arrived in Barkerville at 2 a. m., December 27. "I must have missed count gome- where", explained Mr, Brown, "Or maybe T forgot to make a cross op the wall a couple of mornings". From one year's end to or three trips from his lonely cabin into Barkerville. He has not been out of the Cariboo country since 1879. He went East to his old home town of Westport, Ont., but stayed only one night because the people there asked him '"'too many fool questions".
