CİNEMA NOTES.

"MARRIED IN HOLLYWOOD."|

Among his varied experiences. J. Harold Murray, musical comedy star, recalls one that stands out. It has to do with his early career when he was assistant porter in a hotel at Old Orchard. Mr. Mur ray relates that he drew $1500 a week, did all the work and that the head porter, dressed in a gaudv uniform, took all the tips.

Murray sings the role of Prince Nicholai in "Married In Holly- wood," Fox Movieton all-talking. song romance, and Norman Terris all-singing Oscar Straus Viennese sings the leading feminine role in the picture which is the forth- coming feature at the Queen's Theatre. Murray, just before go- ing to Hollywood, under contract to Fox Movietone, completed an engagement of two and a half years in the leading role of "Rio Rita," outstanding musical comedy, and Miss Terris, at about the same time, finished her 22nd week with "Show Boat."

Walter Catlett, prominent musi- cal comedy star, is also a member of the cast. Others include Irene Palasty, European prima donna, who sang the leading role in "No. No, Nanette." for 850 straight performances, Lennox Pawle, Douglas Gilmore, Tom Patricola, Gloria Grey. Evelyn Hall and Lelia Karnelly, another European per- sonality.

Alan was conscious that his on- tire day had seemed somehow shadowed, heavy, but he hadn't sought the reason for it.

One thing he knew when he opened the front door-coming home was nothing to shout hallelu- jah over.

He was at the foot of the stairs when the radio sang reminded him of Bernadine. He turned and went to the telephone. Nellie's voice soon came to him.

She assured him that Bernadine better. "She acts like she's got no more troubles," the girl con- fided, and Alan could hear the ring of happiness in her voice,

"How's the little boy, Bobby?" he inquired immeasurably relieved.

Bobby, he was told, had been ask- ing for him; wanted to know when he was coming to pay that prom- ised visit.

he encouraged Alan to keep her when in the beginning he had com- plained Phillipa was not efficient. "Give her a chance," Natalie had said; "she may improve."

And indeed she had. She hadn't been in Alan's employ more than two weeks before she discovered his wife was furiously jealous. And then she learned It was Natalic's custom to threaten to leave him.! Her work began to improve.

She did not expect to turn the world upside down-but she thought it would help her to avoid irritating a man whose home life was any- thing but peaceful. She concen- trated upon her office duties to the elimination of all else, until the work was easy for her.

After that she allowed herself to | make other moves in the game she was playing. Alan found her quite soothing.

And she was getting prettier. Unfailing devotion to the grooming of her person was bringing her the reward of smartness and poise. Had Natalie met her for the first time on this morning when she en- tered Alan's private office with de- mure grace and perfect bob she would not have been so complacent about her.
