Ben Ames Williams wrote the story which was prepared for the screen by Philip Klein and Barry Conners. The picture was directed by John Blystone, dean of directors for Fox Flints.
"She Doue Him Wrong" Mae West's first starting pléture, "She Done Him Wrong," comes on Sunday to the Queen's Theatre. The picture was written by Mae West:
"She Done Him Wrong" is lusty,) roaring melodrama of the Bowery-u heurty tale of the notorious old uvente where men are men and women are "on the make." Its saloons and its politicians its honkytonks and its dames," fornish a background for the activities of the principal char- acters.
Miss West is east as "Lady Lou," a famous beer-hall entertniner with a deadly effect on unwary males. Her sultors Back around her, penetically in swarms, but she'deals with them in a matter-of-fact fashion. Those who can provide her with the diamonds which are her weakness may enjoy her favours. The others?-too bad.
Into this scene cumes Cary Grant, apparently misston-worker without
a diamond to his name. His appear- ance on the scene leads to a starting, highly dramatic climax, which puts Lady Lou in his arms without the customary tribute in gems.
Miss West sings three songs during the course of the picture the popular ok balind, "Frankie and Johnnie, and two new songs, "A Man What Takes His Tine" and "Haven't Got No Peace of Mind," which were writ ten for her by Ralph Rainger, com- poser of "Mannin Low, "Please." And other popular successes.
In addition to Grant, Noah Beery, Owen Moore, David Landau and Gil- bert Roland are in the supporting cast.
"Lady With a Past"
Gay and brilliant, "Lady With a Past the new attraction at the Central Theatre today, is another Constance Benneti starring hit. A modern comedy strongly dished with romance, it is played against fashion- able background and provides the dazzling blonde star with a perfect: vehicle For the first time in a con- siderable perial. Miss Bennett is not cast as a poor werking girl or an erring sister who has fallen and been redeemed by love. She is cast as a wealthy member of a fashionable rocial set in this RKO Pathe product- ion and is thoroughly convincing, as well na altogether lovely in the part. One big advantage of the Now characterization, which all feminine fans will appreciate, is the oppor- tunity it affords the star of wearing
