WITHOUT ORDERS
Balancing the drama and the romance of modern commerical
flying in a uniquely plotted story, RKD Radio's "Without Orders" brings to the screen on absorbing tale of the men who pilot 'to-day's airliners, showing at the Queen's Theatre to-day:
this Hong Kong hotel season. They cost $3,000.
One of the outstanding features of their presentation to-morrow- night will be the "Dream Tango," and, from what one
can judge
from a peep. ut rehearsals, it is the sort of Tango that makes Dreams particularly exciting.
LAUGHING AT TROUBLE
All the sobs and troubles in the' life of Jane Darwell, currently ap- pearing in "Laughing at Trou- old," the Twentieth Century-Fux dramatic comedy showing to-day at the Alhambra Theatre
Jane is probably the only actress in Hollywood, she thankfully ad- mits, whose life and career have been without hardship, and the amazing diverity and perfection of her portrayals In such picture as "Ramona," White Fang" and Star For A Night," are due entirely to Intelligent observation, emotional comprehension arid an apparently unlimited abilty to visualize and re-create her concept of each character she enacts.
-
John Carradine, who Is the screen's master of dark and evil deeds, at one time cherished the ambition that he might be the chief justice of the United States,
His talents, however, took a queer turn that led him away from juris-prudence to, a' career as the most hateful man in Almdom.
In "Laughing at Trouble," John plays a vicious and corrupt deputy sheriff, who opposes Jane Darwell, a hard-headed, soft-hearted news- paper editor who solves everybody else's troubles while smiling away her own.
"
Rara Haden, Lois Wilson, Mar-. garet Hamilton and "Pert Kelton are also featured in the cast.
Darryl, F. Zanuck, Twentieth Century-Fox Production Chief, selected Frank R. Strayer to direct with Max Golden associate pro- ducer.
