Lill Damita, who plays the fentinine lead opposite, Warren William in the First National plcture, "The Match King," which opens to-day at the queen's Theatre was chosen as the one actress who could suitably inter- pret the role, after a careful weighing of the possiblities of all Hollywood's talent. The selection of just the right actress was sifted down to two play ers, Lili Donita and Greta Garbo, The latter being unavailable, as sha had returned to her nativa Sweden for an extended stay, the plum was award- ed to Lila Darita, The choice, of Damita has proved a most happy eno for according to reports sha given the Homewhat oxotic role of a beautiful Continental actress an ingenuvun twist that makes her charactorization most fascinating. The character in the screou play is the confidant of princes and political potentates, and the be loved of a financial genius, a part played by Warren William, Damiin la herself a somewhat insterious norson. age, who numbers royalty among her closest admirers. She knew the late Ivan Kreuger, the. Match King, per- sonally at the time he was one of the most powerful figures in Europe, and i when she herself was the darling of the Continental stage and opera, Amang her friends was Prince Georgs of England, ex-King Alfonso of Spain and Louia Ferdinand, grandson of the former Kaiser. The screen play, which was adapted by Houston Branch and Sidney Sutherland from the popular novel by Elnar Thorvaldson, la a dramatic story of the greatest inancial and political Intrigue known, coupled with the personal love affairs of a financial genius who ruthlessly made use of heautiful and socially prominent worich to further ᏂᎬ schemes for world control. An ex- cepitonal cast in support of William
od Damita includes Glenda Farrell, Harold Huber, Spencer Charters, John Wray, and Murray Kinnell. The pic- turo wn directed by Howard Brother, ton. William Keighley acted as dia- fogue lirector.
"Cality As Hell"
The third lime's not always the charm. Edmund Lowe works and balties with Victor McLagion for the fourth time in "Guilty as Hell" a screen adaptation of the successful Burder farce which enjoyed a long rou on Broadway last season and which opens on Friday at the King's Theatre. In "What Price Glory" "The Cockeyed World." and "Women of All Nations." the pair fought and battled as soldiers in Uncle Sam's armies. But though they pal around and battle with ench other still, it's not as doughboys. Love is in the role of a police reporter and MeLaglen is cast as a detective. Richard Arlen is also starred in the picture. The film opens with a murder: being committed. The audience learns who is guilty of the crime, but the policeman and the reporter bungle their way through many amusing In- ckdents before they finally get real murderer. Arfen is cast as one the of the suspects, surrounded by a mass of circumstantial evidence, convicted for the crime, and saved froin death by hanging only at the last moment.
