CINEMA SCREENINGS
NOTES SUPPLIED BY THE THEATRES
"Charlie Chan's Greatest Caso," the new For picduction depicting the latest adventures of that famous Hawailan detective, comes to the King's Theatre on Thursday.
The picture reunites the three personalities that have carried the inimitable Charlie Chan to the heights of screen popularity. It is an all-now story a
an en-
реп
vastly different situation and groaning atmosphere in which Charle Chan solves his greatest and most in- tricate cost. Warner Olani. again portrays this bland detective whose quaint and human philosophy have delighted audiences for years. Earl Dorr Biggers whoso - vigorous created this picturesque character,
Бая hore, placed him in a situation an- precedented in detective literature Hamilton MacFadden did the direct Ing. Heather Angel has the leading feminino rein ́in this film, and it is bor biggest screen part to date. Others in the cast are Roger Imhoff, John Warburton. Walter Byron, Ivan Simpson, Virginia Cherrill, Francis Ford
Robert Warwick, Frank McGlynn, Clara Blandlek, Claude King, William Stack, Glorin Roy and Cornelius Keefe, Lerter Cold and Marien Orth adapted the story for the Fereen,
"Mystery of the Wax Museum"
One of the most spectacular fres uver staged for a motion picture, and one which caused studio executives keen anxiety during its taking, will be seen in the Warner Bros, production, The Mystery of the Wax Museum," which opens to-morrow at the Queen's. This was the burning of a set repre- senting an old Wax Museum in Lon den, which contained scores of figures
modelled In wax. The Mystery
of
the Wax Museum" is said to be une of the most exciting mystery thrillers to come to
the screen. The action
evalves about the strange movements of a terrible monster and a series of mysterious disappearances of fun:us people and the enatching of dend. bodies. Glenda Farrell, Fay Wray and Frank McHugh are featured with Atwill in the cast of all star players. The picture is taken from the play by Charles S. Belden and adapted for the screen by Don Mullally and Cart Erickson.
"The Masquerader"
A martyr with a sense of humour. Elissa Landi describes herself as "tho miraculous surviver of seven, bad pictures." Never until her appearance with Ronald Colman in the dual roles of "The Masquerader," showing to-day at the King's Theatre, was she given # part that she would have wanted badly enough to ask for it. Miss band wanted to be Eve. She is philosophical, if not optimistle. "The Trouble is that I can't be classified as easily as they like to in Hollywood,' she says. “I'm not an exotle and I'm not a goo-goo type; they've tried to cust me as one or the other since I've been here. Versutility is a sla in Hollywood." No-one doubts Miss Landi's versatility. Daughter of Countess Zonardi Landi of Austria, wite of J. C Lawrence, English bar rister, she is a linguist, a niezzo- soprano, a dancer, n stage-trained nctress with an international res putation and a novelist with her third work, "House for Sale" in Its tenth edition and her fourth under way.
‚“Young Donovan's Kid".
A different gung-story la Radio Picture's drama, "Young Donovan's Kid, which will be seen at the Oriental Theatre on Wednesday and Thursday. The picturo stars Richard Dix, famous for his portrayal of Yancey Gravat in “Cimarron, with Marlon Shilling, Jackie Cooper, star of "Skippy” and Frank Sheridan head- ing an outstanding cast of featured players.
