"Two in a Crowd" is the sort of picture that will leave a warm, happy, tingling glow, way down deep inside of you. Laughter and love ripple and sparkle all through the lively Universal offering which is showing to-day at the Alhambra Theatre.

Joan Bennett and Joel McCrea. are ideally starred as a mirth provoking pair of sweethearts in this rollicking screen drama. Joan and Joel, queen, and king of ro- mance and comedy, first meet when each of them finds half of a torn thousand dollar bill leads to unusual complications- when they combine their resources to get a race-horse out of pawn,

The action becomes merrier and madder when Joel walks into the bank where rubbers had earlier stolen some bills, including the one he is trying to change. Humorous situations mount to a thrilling climax, with dizzy detec- tives and a sweepstake race add- ing to the fun and excitement.

*SZLET C

The supporting -cast includes several splendid comedians, among them Henry Armetta, Alison Skip- worth, Reginald Denny, Nat Pendleton, Andy Clyde and Elisha Cook, Jr. The picture was directed by Alfred E. Green, one of Holly- wood's aces.

Be sure to see "Two in a Crowd," When it snows $1,000 bills, you'll agree that's a grand note... and a grander note when it rains marvellous madcap entertainment.

“HUMAN CARGO""

A vicious new crime ring that couldn't be smashed and a start- ing new mystery that couldn't be solved until a deb who wants thrills and a reporter who wants headlines, plunge into the exciting plot and, in a series of breath-tak- ing events, smash the new menace that threatens the nation.
