Reno, a Satire on Divorce—-“The Green Goddess/' a Roman ce of India - Dean's Picture Heads Muse Bill Priscilla Dean, who at one time shattered about ail the box office records at the Muse theater, opens ✓ tlt^ week's bill there today, in the, feature which is also offered at thei Moon this week, "The White Tiger."! It is Miss Dean's favorite sort ofj picture—a crook melodrama.

Matt Moore plays the leading role opposite Miss Dean, while Wallace Beery and Raymond Griffith handle the roles of two internationally fa mous crooks, associated with the un derworld queen, “White Tiger,” whom Miss Dean impersonates. The trio of criminals illustrate by their actions the fact that crooks never agree with one another if there is a chance of arguing, and haven't the slightest vestige of a “comradely" spirit.
