"Tell Me To-night" has angles of appeal its melodious music, its delightful comedy, the naturalness of the acting, the hu-

MAE WEST AS A BION TRAINER

Echoes of the sensational court "appearances of Mae West in New York several years ago while de- fending herself on charges of pro- ducing immoral plays, will heard be heard in her next Paramount Alm, I'm No Angel.

Mae West, who is the author of the story has written a hilarious court room drama into the script. when she sucs a millionaire for alienation of affections - This setting gives her an unparalleled opportunity to get over the West. dialogue which has made her last film, "She Done Him Wrong" so successful,

DIRECTION BY WIRELESS

Throughout history of films the semaphore, heliograph, Tunnel

and field telephone systems have sufficed for directing --very lang shots.

Now, in Paramount's The Eagle And The Hawk, the last word in communication has been used.

The director, Stuart Walker used. a 25-lb. portable wireless, broad- casting station, to send directions to Fredric March in aerial scenes of this picture. The unique sending and receiving set has a maximum range of ten miles and operated on an ultra-high frequency short wave length of less than ten me- tres. It will probably mark a new epoch in film production.
