To-night and to-morrow patrons will note that the wealth of detail that an historical motion picture demands to insure its authenticity is revealed in “Operator 13,” starring Marion Davies and Gary Cooper. The picture is. based upon a thrilling spy story, the last best-seller novel by Robert W. Chambers, before his death. It centres around earlier years of the American civil war when the South was apparently winning and the Confederate forces dangerously threatening Washington. when the spies, both Union and Confederate, provided many of the dramatic incidents. Featurettes include Metrotone News, “Goofy’ - Movies and Hal Roach musical comedy “Rhapsody in Brew.” Zane Grey’s thrilling production, “To The Last Man,” featurettes and the next chapter of the new serial will be shown at Saturday’s matinee. At Blackball, “Lady for a Day” will be shown to-night, "and at Wallsend "Flying Down to Rio” will be shown to-night. COMING.
