CINEMA NOTES.
"THEY LEARNED ABOUT WOMEN,"
Sammy Lee has the distinction of having produced the first all- coloured, all-talking, singing and dancing, natural-coloured revue for motion pictures.
In case you can't figure that out, it means that Lee, screened a song und dance spectacle with an all- coloured cast headed by Nina Mae McKinney, dusky star of King Vidor's "Hallelujah," photograpa- ing it entirely in Technicolour.
The revue, built around the "Har- lem Madness" number written by Milton Ager and Jack Yellen, was incorporated into "They Learned About Women," Metro-Goldwyn | Mayer's first starring vehicle for the well-known song team of Van and Schenck, which is now being shown at the Queen's Theatre,
Lee, who produced many dancing ensembles for the Ziegfeld Follies and other Broadway stage hits. drafted his talent from Los Angeles black and tan night clubs and from Central Avenue street corners flock of where he gathered a juvenile. dancers.

Beuter's American Service.
The immediate reaction to the rich production value of the film "Rio Rita." its new music, new sels, new costumes and wealth of colour and beauty, is that Broad- way stage producers soon will be seeking "stage rights" to the big ger screen productions instead of the screen invading Broadway for its ideas and talent.
There were several figures con- nected with the screening of "Rio Rita" who were associated in the original stage production. Harry Tierney, who wrote the score was one. Victor Baravalle, who direct. it, was another,, Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey, who played their original comedy roles in the Radio

Radio Pictures' "Rio Rita" all have been in several of Broadway's most- successful musical comedics..
All declared the R.K.O. "Rio Rita" was the most gorgeously dressed production they had ever
been.
To Max Ree, art supervisor of Radio Pictures, goes much of the credit for the splendor with which "Rio Rita" was produced. An ar chitect and a picture director, Ree's sets and costumes, many of which were photographed in colour, were the most sumptuous—and the most costly that have been built thus far in the new era of talking pic- tures.
"Hot For Paris."
"Whatever you do, don't act ". Time after time, during the produc tion of the Fax all talking Movie- tone production, "Hot For Paris", that command was repeated by Raoul Walsh, the director. Walsh has but one fear during the mak.ng of a picture and that is that his players will forget to be natural.
Prior successes of his, including "What Price Glory" and "The Cock Eyed World", received much appro- bation from reviewers for the naturalness of the players in the pictures; something which Walsh always exacts.
"Hot For Paris"; which will be reen. on Friday at the Queen's Theatre is flawless from the stand- point of types and naturalness with the featured players perfectly cast Victor MeLaglen as a sailor, El Brendel as a dumb Swede. Fif Dorsay as a vivacious French ma'- mselle who sings and dances în a | cafe and Polly Moran a maid, -“--
The story is said to embody more laughs even than "The Cock Eyed World", and has a real plot running all through it rather than being episodic as "The Cock Eyed World”
was.
Several song numbers written by Walter Donaldson and Edgar Leslie are introduced by Fifi Dorsay and McLaglen.
