When Miss Swanson began casting about for a sultable story for her United Artists picture, she had n Audden Inspiration. She felt sure that they could write her an orginal comedy-drama with as much "per- fection as they compose musical plots; While "Indiscreet" which the trio called their initial dramatic effort, is casentially a dramatic piece, yet they could not resist the temptation of in- Jecting two songs which it perfectly into the story and do not in any sense put the production into the musical clans. The titles are: "Come to Me” and "If You Haven't Got Love" Bliss Swanson in afforded a character- ization which in anid to have the name dramatle quality of "The Trespasser" She

That ever-absorbing feature of London Bfe, the Changing of the Guard at St. James' Palace, has a notable place in "Wedding Rehearsal", the London Film Production directed by Alexander Korda, which will shortly be shown at the King's. The Changing of the Guard is not put in- to the film simply because of its value as a spectacle; it happens to be an integral part of the fascinating and original plot of the picture. Rent shots of the brillant ceremony have been skilfully mixed with those taken In the studio, and those who see the film will be unable to detect where the real ceremony gives place to the studio insertions. Roland Young (who came from America especially to play a leading part in the picture) will be seen in the colourful uniform of a Guard's Oflcer, complete with bearskin busby "Wedding
Re- hearsal" is also notable for many. striking studio sets, and zome lovely |exterior settings in specially-chosen beauty spots in the country. Some of these scenes were taken in North Mynms Park, one of the most beauti- ful estates in England. This lovely mansion and grounds date back to Queen Elizabeth, and they were kind- ly placed at the disposal of London Film Productions through the courtesy and generosity of Mrs. Walter Burns, the present owner. Those who enjoy a really polished and entertaining production should on no account miss seeing "Wedding Rehearsal".
"Under-Cover Man"
A high-class confidence man whe turns police Informer in order to "get" the murderer of his father! That's the role that falls to George Raft in "Under-Cover Man," the new Alm
showing from Thursday at the Queen's Theatre.
This is a story of thieves who operate exclusively in Wall Street, deal only in hundreds of thousands, an make their headquarters in Pari Avenue. Their game is to hold up bank messengers and runners for band houses, and cash in on the stolen bonds through a clever "fence" known as Sam Dorec.
On the way to the denouement the film is packed with oxciting action. There is, for example, a scene in un apartment, wherein Martoff, Mason ant Dannie Roscoe Karns), a killer with a mysterious part to play in the story, try to find out whether Nick Darron (Raft) is on the level. They put him through an elaborate serles of teals, but Nick's iron nerve carries him through.
