"Libelled Lady"
Jean
The most dazzling, star-spangled pageant of notable persanoiller since "Dinner at Eight" and "Grand Hotel" are to be seen in Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer's front page, mirth-marked special, "Libelled Lady." opening at the Majestic Theatre to-day, Harlow, whose "Suzy" was so success- ful: William Powell, star of "The Great Ziegfeld Myrna Loy, sharing honours with Powell in that great show; Spencer Tracy, of "San Fran "cisco" and "Fury" fame, and a
sup- porting cast of marquec names head- ed by Walter Connelly portray the important roles in the new-type newspaper story. Jean Harlow ploys a character outdoing her previous portrayals of humour. Powell is a reporter Beau Brummel. Miss Loy is the libelled daughter of a millionaire. Tracy is the harassed ma
managing editor, more in love with his news- paper than his sweetheart. Jack Conway,
director of the highly dramatic "A Tale of Two Cities," turns his talents to hilarious comedy in "Libelled Lady," a story that pre- sents a side of newspaper life never before seen on the screen.
