Cinema Notes From The Theatres

"GORGEOUS HUSSY” —KING'S

THEATRE

The teaming of the world-wide popular Joan Crawford with Ro- bert Taylor, most sensational “find” in the history of movies since the discovery of Clark Gable, in the new Early American Romance! "The Gorgeous Hussy," is con- İsidered Hollywood's masterstroke

of casting for the year.

Not since the celebrated love team of Garbo and the late John Gilbert has there appeared on the cinema horizon a romantic teamË (so full ofendure and emotional power as that presented. by the coupling of the dynamic Miss Craw- ford and the handsome and virile Taylor.

Slamitis

By Ely Culbertson.

The most virulent of all the diseases to which contract play- ers are subject is “slamitis.

I have seen a great many po tential experts completely ruin- ed, and a few genuine experts greatly impeded by this dread scourge. For them, the bonuses provided for successful slams fare in reality boomerangs; not Jonly do they lose an uncouni-

table number of rubbers by bid- ding just one trick too many but also, with the magic “slam' acting as Svengali, they ignore opportunities to penalise the op- ponents. Today's hand is a striking example of "slamitis" in an advanced stage.
