MAE WEST

NEXT FILM WILL BE CALLED SAPPHIRE SAL"

Mae West is in the throes of preparing her next picture-and throes is probably the right word, since her recent films have not been outstanding successes.

In an effort to inject a little extra sales interest, Mae West will do a dance in this one...

The film is called "Sapphire Sal." Mae West's present choice for leading man is Edmund Lowe, but he has not got back to Hollywood from England yet and it is not cer- tain whether he'll take the part.

The only other casting so far is that of the newcomer John Payne as juvenile lead.".

Running true to previous form. Mae will not have many women among the rest of the cart.

OH, DOCTOR! To-day marks the showing of Universal's "Oh, Doctor!" starring Edward Everett Horton, at the Alhambra Theatre. The picture is an adaptation of Herry Leon Wil son's humorous novel of the same name and presents the inimitable Horton in the role of the chlet character, Ned Billop, a bypochon- driac who sells his birthright for a mess of pills. He lives to regret the bargala and then regains his beritage by methods which, al- THERE GOES MY GIRL though highly amusing, äre dan gerous and thrilling.

Wilson's novel and the screen version present the chief character as a man fond of his aliments, who hasn't the money to indulge in all the fancy phases of it. He's due to come into a million dollars in six months, but is certain he'll die before he can enjoy it. In order to make his last few days a de- light on earth,, he sells his coming fortune to a band of sharpers, cn condition they advance him money with which to indulge his desires.

DON'T TELL THE WIFE

Treating its basic theme of the fake stock racket from light- hearted angle, RKO Radio has evolved a delightful and hilarious comedy in its "Don't Tell the Wife," which has its showing at the Queen's Theatre to-day.

The role is that of a woman MD.
