HER LIFE MADE

MISERABLE

By A Number Of Stars!

Jean Harlow and Lee Tracy, together for the Brst time as co- stars, are said to have provided the biggest truckload of laughs to roll out of Hollywood in the hilarious picture, "Bombshell," which is showing from Sunday at the Queen's.

The production is described us a pictorial record of Hollywood laughing at itself, a story woven around the myths and rumours that have flown out of the Alm capital and presented in a com- posite of humour and laugh-pro- voking situations for the amuse- ment of the movie-going public. It is based on a play by Caroline Francke and Mack. Crane, adapted

to the screen by Jules Furthman and John Lee Mahin.

Miss Harlow, in what she admits to be the most unusual role of her career, Is seen as a glamorous screen star whose life is made Iniserable by the antics of her press agent, Lee Tracy; her liquor-loving father, Frank Mor- gan; her false lover, Franchot Tone; her director, Pat O'Brien; her secretary, Una Merkel: her brother, Ted Healy and a score or more of other well-known
