NOTES SUPPLIED BY THE THEATRES
Lionel Barrymore and Mirlant Hop- kins are co-starred in "The Stranger's. Return," which opens on Wednesday nf the Queens Theatre as a Metro- | Goldwyn-Mayer platurization of the currently popular Phil Stong novel of rural life, which follows his recont: best-seller, "Stato Fair." As the 8G- year-old patriarch of a farm founded and pioneered by his family, Lenol Barrymore is said to have one of the most interesting characterisana va his brilliant career. His histrionic power is declared by preview critics to have attained new height In the climactic scenes. Mias Hopkins, among the meat popular feminine stars on the screen to-day, is afforded the best opportunity she has had in her role of the city girl who noen to her grandfather's farm and finds intre the peace and contentment she couldn't get in the elty. Here is a role of exacting 'demanda and she is said to have exceeded in power the strength written into the original part. Fran- chot Tone heads the supporting east in the role of the college-bred farmer with whom the city girl falls in love. Stuart Erwin fills a featured spot as who knows more than he appears to. Simon, the
eornlickered farm hand
This is by far/Erwin's most important role in many months. The pictorial beauty of the picture cannot be ton greatly stressed.

An a consequence, aciors and actresses aro a little wary of this grand trouper from the stage who, several years ago, shocked Len. don by playing Shylock in her own company. Lucille La Verne doesn't care what people think of her as long as they appreciate her acting. Most unconventional is hop theory that enco camera action is enlled every person should play his part, regardless of the tradition which would give. certain allowances to stars. "Pilgrimage”, in which this colourful personsilly plays one of the most unusual roles of her:
