NOTES SUPPLIED BY THE THEATRES
The early ambition of Spencer Tracy was to become a great surgeon, but instead, maro by force of eir cunstances than anything elac, he became an actor. It was while ho wan attending Marquette Univeraity that a sories of events changed the trend of his plans. There he was in- duced to portray a role in a college play and he enjoyed it so much that he decided to leave Marquette and enter the American Academy of Dramatic Art where he laid the foundation for his career on the stage and acreen. In "Me and My Gal Tracy plays the role of an im- perturbable yonng detective who finds omance with n girl cashier in a re staurant, a love affair that leads him to the trail of a murderer on whose nd there is a reward of $10,000. It le mald to be a gripping drama of life in New York, tempered by rich comedy altuations. The picture was reeted by Raoul Walsh who directed "Wild Girl" Miss Bennett's recent success, "The Yellow Ticket" Bud "The Cock Eyed World".

Her every inflection, Blightest RES- ture, adds poteney to the role in which he obviously submerged herself. Miss Garbo's talents are entirely in- dividual and, in the opinion of this reviewer, the most artistic the screen has produced since its inception. Ar Zara, the cafe entertainer who mas- ouerades as the missing wife of Count Bruno, distracted war veteran, Miss Garbo ecllpacs hor greatesi: triumphe.

books other

One of his most successful stories, which was serialized in a national weekly before its publication in book form, in "Robbera' Roost", a realistic tale of cattia rustlers in Arizona.

The picture version of thin thrilling novel is now showing at the King's Theatre.
