Ronald Colman returns to the London screen in the character which first made him-famous-as a talkie star.

Flease note, if you are interested in such things, that this is the first film Colman has made for many years for a producer other than Samuel Goldwyn. And it won't be the last. He broke with "Goldwyn last year following. $ sharp difference of opinion about a publicity "story." There was talk of a two million dollar law- sult, and the star-producer part- nership Tatted to "survive the strain.

"Greta Garbo is not giving up, the screen for the stage" said her spokesman at Hollywood recently,
A rumour that she was, to re- turn home to Sweden, her native home, for Christmás gave rise to: reports that she intended to de-. vote her talents to the legitimate stage in her own country.
Her spokesman said that this was far from the truth, and that, on the contrary, she would continue making pictures inde- finitely in Hollywood..

JOAN LIKES RED SHADES
Joan Bennett, who plays op- posite Francis Lederer in Para- mount's THE PURSUIT OF HAP- PINESS, has just completed a marvellous wardrobe for the win- ter, which contains all the latest styles
As Joan's favourite shades are Variations of red, her mest strik- ing dinner town is a dashing mo- del, cut on purely 1935 lines but reminiscent of Louis and Versail- les, in dregs of” burgundy velvet. For daytime she has a striking town and country ensemble of belge kasha and nutria, and for formal evening wear she can sel-

A STRIKING SUIT
The popularity of suits this winter has brought forth a flock of new fashions, most of them striking in their modishness.

COATS AND CAPES
The newest coats and capes for the late winter are all cut in three-quarter-length.
Anna May Wong, featured "in. Paramount's LIMEHOUSE BLUES, has just bought an exquisite re- versible cape in ermine, and the extra length gives it added fas- cination. The lining is of green, shot silk, so that the cape can be Bung over one shoulder and worn half and half,”
Elissa Landl, featured in Para- mount's THE GREAT FLIRTA- "TION, has a beautiful leopard coat in this new length. It is cut on swagger lines, and the "collar is high and tailored,

Travis -Banton, famous Para- mount stylist, has designed a beautif gown-ultra-soginiiti- "cated and yet utterly simple

The gown is fashioned in apri- cot crepe, and the extremely low decollete back is interesting with its bands of sable taking tha place of shoulder straps. The bodice comes out of a high waistiine.
At the back, where the sable meets the base of the decolletage, a bow of the apricot pebble crepe tles simply and holds the dress lin place..
ZIPPER SHOES, POPULAR -
Zipper shoes are making a great hit in Hollywood, and all, the amart women are wearing them
Evelyn Venable, the Paramount actress who appears in DOUBLE DOOR and MIS WIGGS OF THE CABBAGE PATCH, has gone in for them enthusiastically because she considers them ideal for walking.
As this is one of Evelyn's pas times she has ordered two differ- ent types of zipper Brogues, one in dark brown leather and the other in two-toned pigskin.
Colman is not a character acter. There is no one on the screen with greater charm or a more persuasive personality but the very strength of His personality is stich that It should render him quille moapable of re-creating an historical character.
