THEATRES
Genuine comedy material was laid right in the lops of motion picture producers when Nevada passod Its. nix wooks' roaldeneo law, making Rone the divorce capital of the world. Most of the movie producers mured the opportunity. But Radio Pictures executives made full use of it turn- ing out "Peach O'Rens". This is the funniest Wheeler-Woolney coniedy to data. Other divorce fareen will have to do some high vauiting to top this. The picture is jammed full of hilar lous gags and has a cast that can put them over. In past Wheeler-Woolnav Alma, the two stars had to do somo- thing. One particularly funny quence is the farce love making of Woolsey and Miss O'Neal. It's a rint, with Mis O'Neal copping a slight edge for laughs.

Wo never have been able to under- stand why this young comedian who was a tremendous hit on the Broad- way stage, hasn't been more in de mond in pictures. Its a safe bet that ahe will be after this picture. An- ether funny sequence alows Wheeler 03 A female inpersonator, and how that boy can impersonate. Director William Selter also deserves con- riderable praise for the grand way in which he koops things moving. There isn't a slow spot in the picture. Thono who have not 2n "Peach O'leno" at The Central Thentre should most certainly avail thom- selves of the final opportunity to lay, It is unquestionably the funniest ple- turo produced for some time.
"Lily Christao"
Michael Arlen's peignantly drama- tie "beat seller," "Lily Christine," bag been Almed by Paramount British Productions, with Corinne Griffith in the title role. It will be shown na the King's Theatre's next attaction. The choice of Miss Griffith to portray Mr. Arlen's lovely, forlorn heroine is a particularly happy one, for as well as having great physical beauty, she is biezard with that natural polse which is no essential for such n characterlantion. The appealing charm of this poise was seen when Miss Griffith gave her unforgettable por Lrayal of Lady Ilamilton in "The D- vine Lady," which was recognised na ono of the finest performancen over zoen on the screen. But it has been equalled, even if not surpassed, by her superb acting in "Lily Christine."
