It's the newest and most exciting adventure of the celebrated Saturday Evening Post sleuth in "Thank Tou, Mr. Moto," Twentieth Century-Fox picture starring Peter Lorre, which shows Thursday and Friday at the Alcazar Theatre. Where "Moto" appears, some thing exciting is bound to happen.

Featured roles in the film are played by Thomas Beck, Pauline Frederick, Jayne Regan, Sidney Blackmer, Sig Rumann and John Carradine. Seven scrolls when assembled provide the key to a fabulous treas ure. This is the motivating force of the screen play by Willis Cooper and Norman Foster. The story opens with the mysterious Mr. 'Moto," disguised as a camel driv er smuggling one of the scrolls into Peiping.

Except that film detectives usually get a new plot to work in. The latest addition to the ranks of cinema sleuths is Patric Knowles who enacts the role of Lance O'Lea-ry in Warner mystery, "The Patient in Room 18," feature at the Alcazar Sunday and Monday. If things work out as expected, Mr Knowles will go on being Lance OXeary in many a mystery film.

Time was when movie dicks were business-like men who went about the difficult job of solving a crime quite seriously, flashing a big silver badge pinned on the under side of their lapel at every turn. Such a copper was William Powell when he portrayed Philo Vance in a series of exciting films. When Warner Bros, introduced Perry Mason to the screen in the person of Warren William, movie fans were treated to a new type of crime-solver. Perry Mason was a smooth, suave, intelligent chap who cleared up murders seemingly without effort. Meanwhile, Warner Oland came along with his Charlie Chan, an Inscrutable Chinaman with a sense of humor and a gift for spouting proverbs all over the place.

William Powell returned to the fold again in the "Thin Man" series as Nick Charles, who amazed and delighted audiences by solving murders and such as a sort of sideline. Warner Bros, believe that Patric Knowles will top 'em all as Lance O'Leary. "The Patient in Room 18'' is the first of a series of mystery 'melodramas In all of which several of the same characters will appear. ALCAZAR TO SHOW 'SUBMARINED-1' Wayne Morris Has Important Part In New Picture It's the little things that count when you are struggling with a career in Hollywood.

His first picture for Warner Bros, whose talent scouts found him be hind a character beard In the Pasa dena Community Playhouse, was with rat Jtsrien and others in "China Clipper." On the studio call sheets during that production Wayne was billed when he was billed at all as "and others." He appeared very briefly and no more Importantly in one or two other pictures, and then got the chance of his young life with the title role of "Kid Galahad," play ing with Edward G. Robinson, Bet te Davis and Humphrey Bogart On the call sheets of that picture he was described as "Wayne Morris," to distinguish him from other Morrises, if there were others in the cast. But' now, after the solid hit he made as "Galahad," he is appear ing in "Submarine D-l," again with Pat. Brien, George Brent and Doris Weston. This time the call sheets each and every one of them referred to "Mr." Morris.

That meant that Wayne had achieved recognition. He his now entitled to the respect and position usually ac corded a successful actor. He is now "Mr." Morris to the people who pay his salary. After all it really is the little things that count "Submarine directed by Lloyd Bacon, will show at Alcazar Theatre Tuesday and Wednesday.

Childhood friendships and loyalties in an intensely human story mingle with the thunder of racing hoofs, the excitement of the racetrack, and hidden intrigue of turf-dom. Alfred E. Green directed the picture, In which major thrills Include the American Cup race, a boy riding to victory with a badly injured leg, and the dramatic exposure of a ring of crooks by a young jockey who realizes that the exposure means his own ruin but hopes to save his friend. Much of the action was filmed at the famous Santa Anita race track where the racing events, the plot to "box" a competing jockey and such details were staged. Many famous jockeys and noted race horses appear in these episodes.

I HAL PRICE NOW IN WESTERNER 'Danger Valley' Billed Saturday At Alcazar Hal Price, with 20 years of stage and screen experience behind him, is much in demand as a character actor. To date he has played over three hundred screen roles, and among them you may remember the hard-boiled sports writer In 'It Happened One Night" and the Scotch sea captain in 'The Spoil ers" with Gary Cooper.

Price has trouped with such fa mous stage names as Leo Carrillo, the late William (Stage) Boyd, and William Gillette. But his favorite memory of the footlights was playing with the late Will Rogers on a three month's tour of "Ah Wilderness." Rogers was the finest trouper the theatre has ever known," says Price. No greater epitaph can be given an actor. In "Danger Valley," which shows Saturday at the Alcazar Theatre, Price plays Lucky, Jack Randall's right hand man, and it is a role rich in comedy characterization. "Danger Valley," with Randall in the starring role, is the thrilling story of one man's fight to save a whple community from its ruthless unseen enemy.

Besides Price and the singing cowboy star, the cast includes Charles King, Lois Wilde, Jimmy Aburey, Frank La Rue, and Ernie Adams. It is a Monogram production, directed by R. N. Bradbury. By Olive Roberto Barton Ricky had been acting up.

He got a little paddling. His mama was the best ever, but lucky naa tried her patience beyond endurance, and no reminding or coaxing had done any good. He wenc to his aunt Janey, his eyes swollen and his face as red aa a raspberry. "I have a head ache," he sobbed, "and I feel terrible." Aunt Janey took him on her knee and held her hand to his head. It was hot and feverish.

Without saying a word to anybody, she slipped a thermometer into his mouth. It read 101. She undressed him and slipped him into bed. Then she had to tell his mother. "I'm afraid Ricky isn't well.

He may be getting grip." Instantly the boy's mother exclaimed, "And to think I had to punish him now. I never touch him at all, but I would have to pick on the very night he's sick." All Accept Blame "Don't let It worry you, dear," said her sister. "Maybe he just got upset because he was a little excited. He'll be all right" Then daddy said, "No, I let him eat a whole bag of chocolates and drink a lot of pop when I had him out And he had peanuts. If he's sick, it's my fault." Which proved to be true, and another day saw Ricky his old self again, all his troubles forgotten.

But while he was sick, his mother agonized and wept She could not forget that she had given her son a few little whacks that wouldn't hurt a 'fly. He might die TIRST LADY' WITH KAY FRANCIS WILL SHOW AT HOUSTON Life At Washington And Distinguished Families Are Studied For Story Kay Francis finished "First Lady," her newest Warner Bros, film, which, comes Tuesday to the Houston Theatre, with one souvenir she prizes for a peculiar reason. It is a large oil-painting of an elderly, mustachioed, distinguished looking man, who bears a distinct resemblance to the star. In the picture, you will see it as a portrait of "a former President of the United States," the grandfather of the character Kay plays. The reason it resembles Kay Is that she posed fof the picture part of the time, so the studio artist who painted it might get in a "family resemblance." A character actor posed for the masculine general appearance the painter sought to catch.

According to her family album, however, the picture doesn't resemble either of Kay's real grandfathers. The studio artist, incidentally, had a busy time with portraiture for "First Lady," probably because of its background of Washington, P. C. life and distinguished famil ies. Sitting for him, besides the star, for portraits either of themselves or ancestors, were Preston Foster, Anita Louise, Walter Connolly, Ver- ree Teasdale and Marjorie Ram-beau.

Stanley Logan directed the picture. Steel framework of buildings and bridges is being constructed without a single rivet now; electric arc welding does the job. person on earth, his enemy and a traitor to his love. She overdid her attentions and kept saying that "mother did not mean to be so strict." Rickv recovered, feeling that he could name his own poison and get it He misbehaved shockingly. Fears Future Regrets I believe that every mother has these sad moments.

Even though the child does not go down with a stomache ache and temperature half an hour after the showdown, as Richard did, her fears that some time when he is ill, she will regret any kind of chastisement or deprivation. "If Dorothy were to die sometime," whispers mother to herself, "I couldn't bear to think that I had refused her that new red raincoat she wants. I couldn't bear to look back and think that I had caused her a second's unhappiness." Mother, it is best to get all such thoughts out of your mind. Life cannot be lived this way and it is not wholesome. The child should be treated kindly and fairly, but he does better if he has to take the denials with the concessions, the reprovals with the praise.

It is a weakness that I think every mother has to fight, this idea that someday she will regret something, thereby protecting herself by indulgence to her child, who, In most cases, will live to benefit by her courage. i WE HATE TO CALL BUT LOOK AT ALL THESE!
