One after the other, they ! plunge over the embankment their giant bodies landing one on top of the other. It is a gripping scene, perhaps per-haps the most effective Cooper, and Schoedsach have ever brought to the screen. And when one remembers the round-up of the wild elephant herd in "Chang", an idea may be obtained ob-tained of the tremendous effect created creat-ed during the desperate charge of these colossal monsters from the wild-spreading fire. Richard Arlen, the hero-aviator of "Wings", and last seen in support of "FOUR FEATILEES" COJLES TO PHOTO PARAMOUNT "Four Feathers", Paramount's screen adaptation of A. E. Mason' well known novel, and in many ways dramatized a few years ago in "Beau Geste," will be shown at the Paramount Para-mount Theatre for a run of three days, beginning Tuesday, September 10, and featuring a particularly popular pop-ular cast, headed by Richard Arlen, Clive Brook, William Powell, Fay Wray and George Fawcett. The tempo of "Four Feathers," is typical of imaginative, romatic youth; beautiful in its faith, courageous in its unswerving purpose.
