CINEMA SCREENINGS.
NOTES SUPPLIED BY THE THEATRES.
Criticlam hns occasionally been levelled at the lack of distinction in tho dresses word in British Alms. There will be no reason to cavll in this regard at "Wedding Rehrarsal", which has been described as one of the boat-dressed finis made in
British studio. The loveliest frocks for every hour of the day are worn in the picture, and no effort was spared Lo get exclusive designs from the | lending foshlon hnuses. Among the creations that w delight the heart of every woman who sees the produc- tion are twelve specially designed bridesmaid's ensembles, exquisite dreases, lovely evening frocks and perfectly fitting riding habits.
Some of the prettiest frocks are worn by Wendy Barrie and John Gard ner, who play the "Roxbury Twins," These are two of the four young actresses signed up on a long-term contract for London Film Praductions by Alexander Korda, the producer. They are making their debut in "Wedding Rehearmal". Owing to thi Inct that they are "twing" for the purpose of the film, they dress alike in every respect and affect an identi- cal style in air-dressing and dress accessories. Some striking creations were specially designed for Indy Tree and Kate Cutter, who play Im portant parts in the picture. Un- urumi attention was also pakl to the dressing of the crowd artistes, result- ing in an impeccable fashion back- ground, for this brilliant English production,
"Wedding Behearsal" is released 1g Ideal Films Ltd. Make a point of sreing this mest enjoyable of comed
jos.
"Wedding Rehearsal" is now show- ing at the King's Theatre.

Tallulah and Montgomery
Tallulah Bankhund, co-starring
honours with Robert Montgomery in "Faithless," Sunday's attraction at the Queen's Theatre is no interesting illustration of the difference between temperan,ent and teinperamentality in screen stars.
Mina
Bankhead is high-strung, nervous and almost volcanie on the set, both before the camera and bey hind the lines. She is an example of highly charged temperament.
But temperamental she is not, ac cording to Harry Beaumont who directed Faithless." Beaumont say's she is delightfully amenable L17 slirection and tireless in her efforts. Adrian, who designs the gowns for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer stars, marvel- ed at her willingness to go hungry noonday after noonday for fittings al though she hates to bother about clothes.
Portrails. interviews, wardroug fittings and endless rehearsals are things she had contend with besides the actual work of playing before the Bankhead, bc- camera. Talluinh cause she is so surcharged with spirit,. is an absorbing study on the film ret.
She cannot wit still a minute or relax. She has a habit of running to a mirror to comb her hnlr-not through necessity but nervousness.
"The Front Page"
The fln. rights to the outstanding Broadway stage success "The Front Page", which comes to the King's Theatre on Sunday next were bought for a huge sum. The film was pro duced by one of the most colourful producers the industy has even had; the man who, in spite of his limited experience, has never had a failure, Howard Hughes.
The successful producer secured the outstanding director of the past year, Lewis Milestone, who made the picture unanimously selected as "the" picture of 1830 "All Quite in the Western Front".
Though there is no star part in "The Front Page", Adolphe Menjou, star of many films was engaged in Pat ne of the principal ralca: O'Brien, this year's find from the stage, for another, while others in clude the comedy stars, Edwards Everett Horton, and Slim Summer- ville; as well as Mary Brian, Walter Catlett, Matt Moore, and other brilliant players.
"Nagana"
woman,
Cus true love come to a woman who has gone through life breaking many men's hearts, serend in her ability to love and to "forget" when she has tired of rach new lover? History
Lint to such proven sophisticated, blase and apparently heartless, the "grand pursion" brings an absolutely devastating experience and the tremendous depth of her feeling bring about a completa change in her entire outlook. Her steely exterior drops from her, and who becomes the abject slave of "her mar, ready, if need be, to follow him to the ends of the earth,
Such a situation forms a part of the story of "Nagana", the thrilling Universal drama which opened to-day at the Central Theatre, with Talu Birell, exotic Viennese beauty, in the principal female role, Notorious for the multiplicity of her lovers, she finally falls genuinely in love with Melvyn Douglas in his role of Dr. Radnor, head of an organization engaged in fighting the savages of Jungle dlecases in Africa, and follows him to a plague infested nativo village, in epite of the fact that he has repulsed her advances. Braving the attacks of wild beasts, who finally arrives in Nagoru, and here begins a strange existence unid the savage tribes of the African interior. A fire brings about a veritabla "stampedo of wild animals, and the picture reaches Its climax in scenes of the

Just because it is possible to: make alam on a hand does not necessarily mean that the sinm should be bid. We often find a hand containing several winning finesses and a lot of good breaks with which a slam is made.
Take, for example, the following from a hand, which is selected tournament recently held in New York. Several players made the alam-some at spades, some at hearts, while one player was lucky enough to make a grand slam at no trump due to a spade opening. However, not one pair bid for a Alanı
The Bidding
At the majority of tables South bid one heart, West passed, and North made a une over one fore- Ing bid of one spade,
South showed his second suit-- diamonds. This makes the third; constructive bid which now forces North to re-hid. While North had a one over one force, he has nothi ing hul length in spades, therefore his proper response is a sign-o hid of two spades.
South is now in a peculiar posi tion-if he jumps to four hearts,

North is very apt to pass the hand. He cannot re-bid the four card dia. mond suit.
One South player responded with three no trump and North, with the ace of the unbid suit. passed. West then made a bad opening of the jack of spades, 80 the declarer won six spade tricks, five heart tricks, the dee of clubs and the ace of diampra for grand slam,
At another table South respond- ed with three clubs showing the third suit, thereby forcing North to bid again. However, North was not interested and again signed off by bidding three spades and South went to four spades.
However, top score on the board went to the pair who played the hand at four hearts and scored the 100 hоoura.
The Play
A club was opened and was won in dummy with the tee. The "ine of hearts was then led, and when East refused to cover, the eight was played by declarer. Another small heart was led and the ten finessed. The ace picked East's king.
