As the astronomer who prefers to star-gazo on thy night he won an avowal of love, Conrad Nagel has erunted one of the most interesting rdles of his enreer in One Roman- tio Night, the United Artista 'all- dialogue picture star-ring Lillian Gish at the Queen's Theatro.

In this film version of the Fereno Molnar play," The Swan,” Nagal portrays the role of Dr. Haller, the ator who wins and astronomer-tutor. loses the hand of an aristocratie young woman when love tampor, arily surrenders to his passion for Lho stara. Nagol, who is one point of a romantic triangle which 'in- cludes Miss Gish "and" Rod La Rocqué, cliaracterizes an enfnést. young man who finds himself a mere pawn in the game of love,

"One Romnatic Night" which, incidentally, introduces Miss Gish in her first talking picture, is a romantic comedy-drama that pre serves all the swift play of wit and roniantie beauty that established the Molnar play as one of the greatest contributions in the field of outer tainment.

Under the nble direction of Paul L. Stejn, the screen version. possesses an elasticity of action, denied the original play because of the theatre'a natural limitations.

Ordered to spare no labour or expense in making this one of the outstanding pictures of the year, Stein caused the most elaborate and costly sets of modern production to be erected at the United Artists' studion. Many renowned art dizce- tors and interior decorators were engaged to land their art in the recreation and copying of authentic settings. A

Included in the supporting cast with La Roque and Nagel are Marie Dressler, O. P. Heggie, Albert Conti, Edgar Norton, Billie Bennett, Phillippe de Lacy and Byron "Enge,

John Holland, who plays the romantic young artist in "Eyes of the World," the Inspiration-United Artista picture coming to the Queen's Theatre on Thursday, is the fret leading man to rise from the "extra" ranks to a commanding position in the "talkies."

Spencer Tracy believes in thorough proparation for his roles, and with it he also possesses an impish sense of humour.
