PERSONAL MAID'S SECRET"-
QUEEN'S THEATRE
This new Warner Bros. comedy drama has
Margaret Lindsay, Warren Hull, Anita Louise and Rath Donnelly in the stellar roles. The picture is based on a story by Lillian Day which appeared in the Saturday Evening Post. It is af rare and novel tale of a struggling New York family, ambitious to get Jahead, but lacking the proper con-
tacts.
The head of the family, though a man of ability and personality, is so intent on watching the fami- ly budget that he fears to launch out into the bigger affairs of life. His wife has a greater courage and starts the ball rolling by engaging a maid.
The maid has worked for many!
