THE THIN MAN

At The Queen's Theatre

The Thin Man," new Metro- Goldwyn - Cosmopolitan picture which opens on Sunday at the Queen's Theatre has been E- claimed by previewers as one of the most unusual mystery thrill- ers that has yet come from Holly- wood. The story was written by Dashiell Hammett, the undisputed master of detective-story fiction in America. It tells the tale of Nick Charles, and of three baffling murders that involved him willy- nlly with the Wynant family.

William Powell slays, the role of Nick Charles.

Co-starred with Powell is Myrna Loy, rapidly proving herself one of the most popular of the screen's feminine personalities. Other players include Porter Hall, Henry Wedsworth, William Henry. Harold Huber, Cesär Rohret; Natalle Moorhead, Edward Brophy.

Ed- ward Ellis, and Cyril Thornton. The picture was directed by W. 8. Van Dyke,
