Turning to new worlds to conquer after successfully introducing the mantle set, so called because it is built along the lines of a mantel clock and in not much greater size, certain Los Angelea manufacturers; are now turning their efforts to the production of small, low-priced com- binations. One plant is getting out ita mantel model with a phonograph turntable in the top, making a com plete, self-contained combination: that retails at leas than $100. While not a thing of beauty, it has compactness and portability. West- ern dealers predict a craze for it! rivaling that for the mantel 386 which originated on the Pacific Coast and then swept eastward into popularity.

MARICRIE WHITE IN RICH QUEEN'S
COMEDY ROLE.
Scarcely out fohor 'teens. Mar- jorie White, featured in the cast of Sunny Side Up,"-Fox Movietone inusical comedy written by De Sylva, Brown' and Hendere, haa packed more experience into her few years than most people do in a life-timer
Born in Winnipeg, Canada, Miss White demonstrated such talent thint she went on the stage as the age of four, singing and dancing. She was a great favourite through out Canada, travelling from Hali- fax to Vancouver to fill vaudeville engagements. Private tutors ne companied her, and from them abo received her education.
During the war she quit vaude- ville to entertain Canadian soldiers, appearing in various camps as a singer and dancer, and becoming a great favourite. With several other youngsters she organized the "Win- nipeg Kiddies," which toured Canada and the United States.
Following that engagement, she teamed up with Eddie, Tierney. Both were featured in Lyle An
production, drews' Broadway "Lady Fingera."
"Sunny Side Up" will be seen, and heard to-day on the screen of the Queen's Theatre. Jangt Gaynor and Charles Farrell are the featur- ed players.
**Paramount on Parada" Bringa
Hollywood Favourites,
A world of entertainment will be spread before pitrons of the Cen- tral Theatre to-day where "Parò-') mount on Parade" opens its seren days' visit.
More than thirty-five stars and featured players of the Paramount studios join in the entertainment royo). Hollywood, it is said, feels "big" picturos before they are completed, and, in the case of "Paramount on Parade, even the most astute Hollywoodians admit ted it is bigger than, they ever følt it would be,"
The picture was five months in the making and, during that time,
the greatest secrecy surrounded it. When it was first shown in Holly... wood
delighted audience rocked and roared and busted and thoroughly enjoyed themselves watching it. It has just been re leased to the public, and the Cen- tral Theatre is one of the very first theatres anywhere to show this saper-special.
