"Clear All Wires," adapted from the New York stage bit, is even more sensational, more spectacular, and amusing on the talking screen. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's film with Lee Tracy in the role of the fset- talking Buckley Joyce Thomas, news correspondent continually in hot water, is the attraction at the Queen's Theatre.

Instead of thrill you get music and comedy in "Tell Me To-night," a really attractive picture featur- ing Jan Kiepura, the Polish tenor, who in seven years has won world wide reputation. Sonne Hale, Ed mund Gwena and Athene Seyler provide the sparkling fun.

The opening scenes are taid in the old south where a family feud results in a tragedy and ahatters a romance between the hero and heroine. The local then shifts to the far west where the real thrills

the picture take place. Torn from his sweetheart, the boy joins a wagon train going west and finally meets a pioneer giri whom he marries. When their son had reached the age of three years, Indians massacre the inhabitants of the entire settlement, saving only the child who grows up among them and eventually becomes their leader.
