to come.

What "East Lynine" represents in investment of dollars and cents to the producers doesn't matter, for the completed product is represen- tative of the screen's fluest achieve- ment. In fact, Frank Lloyd, the director, who did so nobly with this production, will establish new high marks for patronage at the King's Theatre. No talkng.picture was more carefully produced nor more entertaining.

Frank Lloyd, who has been honorably mentioned for directorial prizes in years gone by, has turned out his masterpiece in East Lynine,' making the most of the script written by Bradley King and Tom Barry. The settings by Joseph. Urban are luxurious and possess appropriate appointments in keeping with the period of the

story.

“MANSLAUGHTER.“

Hollywood Police are still in ignorance of a motor crash which happened on one of its main boule varda recently, No report was ever made of the accident in which speeding motor cycle hurtled into a skidding motor eer.

This particular accident was planned, rehearsed up to the point! of the actual crash, and then car-| ried out for a scene in Paramount's new melodrama, "Manslaughter." now the Central Theatre feature.

The cust, which supports Miss Gaynor and Mr. Baxter is one of unusual talent, and includes such luminaries as Una Merkel and John Arledge.
