HILARIOUS SITUATIONS IN HAINES TALKIE,
"THE GIRL SAID NO."
Love and laughs, romance and high finance, mingle in a rapid-fire blend of hilarity and heart throbs in William Haines's latest and one of his most ambitious pictures. "The Girl Said No," his all-talking Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer vehicle now playing in the Queen's Theatre.
Five beautiful songs, all especial. ly written by Charles Wakefield Cadman and Rex Roehmold, are sung by John Doles. These songs, which include tender love songs and stirring bottle numbers, are in ad- dition to the tremendous music of "La Marsellaise," France's immor tal national hymn, which Boles also sings in the picture. Laura La Plante is starred with the singing atar, and such outstanding players na Sam de Grasse, Lionel Balmore, James Marcus, Stuart Holmes, and many others play important_parts. Here is a picture that no one should miss.
The picture has Haines as a chap fresh from college, with a diploma, a swelled head, and a bagful of "wise-cracka". The plot depicts hla adventures trying to get his first job and his early struggles with the world business and com- petition.

Berlin, Nov. 6. The many
visitors who in the course of years have gazed with•· fuelings of horror at the Iron Virgin of Nuremberg, will be relieved to learn that this sinister · lady is a hollow sham, and that no unhappy victims were done to death in her spiked interior in the dark days of the fifteenth century, for she her- self first saw the light of day in d local smithy in 1867.
Haines starts with pranks and comedy; he meets a girl in an office and falls in love with her; gets his first job; his father dies and he shoulders the responsibility for the family and a whirlwind finish sees him "come through." The hilarious incidents' include an au- tomobile elopement and details of The Iron Virgin is the show piaco jan actual, Wall Street brokerage of that natonishing collection of in- house in full operation in the heat struments of torture stored in the (of trading.

The Iron Virgin was in private ownership, and the owner recently died, leaving his collection" to the town. It was then found, accord- ing to the Deutsche Zeitung, that his father-in-law, from whom he in- herited the colection, had had a wooden figure made by a carpenter at Eibach, a village near Nurem berg. The carpenter's son still livea and remembers the making of the figure. The story was also entrust- ed to him, with strict injunctions to secrecy, by his mother. After wards a blacksmith of Elbach and, other helpers covered the figure with iron plates, and thus the Iron Virgin The settings are magnificently took shape in 1867. The original executed and in keeping with the owner, an antiquary, had difficulty charm and romance of old Spain in in paying for her, and raised the which the story is set.
The story concerns the love of a Madrid actor for a demure Santiago senorita. His infatuation for a dancer, however, endangers the ro- mance and leads to a duel with the brother of the girl he loves.
In supporting roles are Dorothy Jordan, Lottice Howell, Claudo King, Beryl Mercer, Herbert Clark, David Scott and others, all of whom give adequate performances.
