HONEY."

The Irish

of Nancy Carroll is a factor in hor portrayal of the starring role of "Honey," her newest picture, which is coming. to the Central Theatre to-morrow.

In Houcy" which is based on the famous stage success," Como Out of the Kitchen," Nancy plays the part of the southern belle who is forced to rent her parental catato to a group of visiting Easterners to save it from mortageg debts. A defection in the ranks of the family servants makes it incumbunt upon Nanes to assume the rôle of cook with the added quality of an Irial brogue to give the deception. greater force.

Thus she will be seen and beard As a young girl from county Claire, whonce indeed.: Nancy's forbears came to America many years ago.

The picture is enriched by the tuneful melodies of Harling, and Coslow, well-known lyricists and composers. Miss Carroll herself siuga two of the hit numbers....

Hor leading man in Honey "is Stanley Smith, the attractive young singing actor, who played the lead ing romantic role in Sweetie."

Others in an excellent supporting cast of clever comedians are Harry Green, Lillian Roth, Zasu. Pitts, Mitzi Green, Skeets Gallagher and Joyni Howland.

"MOVIETONE FOLLIEH."

Noel Francis, featured in "The New Movietone Follies of 1930," which opens next Sunday at the Queen's Theatre, might have been university professor if fate, in the person of a Ziegfeld scout, hadn't stepped in and changed the course of her life.

A native of Texas, Miss Francis went to New York to take post- graduate work at Columbia Univer- aity. In her spare time she studied dancing and voice culture, but with no thought of a stage career. Then a Ziegfeld employee saw her at Samuel Kayser's dancing school and induced her to join the "Follies". chorus.

Intelligence, coupled with remark able talent, soon lifted her to the rank of principal, her first good part being in Rio Rita." When Movie tone officials saw and heard her in- the leading role in Show Girls," they signed her to a long term con. tract.

Her first rule, that of a dance hall girl, was in The New Movie- -tone Folies of 1930,"

Others prominent in the prodio- tion include El Brendel, Marjorie White, Frank Richardson, William Colier, jr, and Miriam Seegar.
