CINEMA NOTES.

QUAINT CHARM IN "ROMANCE”

One is reminded of the prophecy that all things run in cycles by a survey of the current fashions. By the returning to favour of rich br- cades taffetas, laces and velvets one can realise how we are all turning backward in looking for new inspira- tiona..

In viewing the costumes worn by Greta Garbo in her second Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer talking picture, "Romance," which in showing to- morrow at the Queen's Theatre, this point is strongly brought out.

Laid in the period of 1865, these costumes reveal many lines antf trimmings that are in vogue at pre- sent. One dress expecially shows this modern trend, in the snug fitted waist- line and the full bouffant skirt line. The trimmings niso sro reminiscent of those we are now adopting for our dressler costumes.

This dress, carried out in a vermil- lion shaded velvet, is finished with a train fine, also a feature of the formal 1931 dresses.

There is also a street costume car- tried aut in the now populor black and white colour combination. Made of black velvet, in a jacket suit style with an edging of armine it might pass for a modernized version with its rippled flare extending from a fitted-in waist- Wine.

The only val difference in the fashions of that period and this is in the hat styles, for whereas they now fit closely the bend they then favoured an off-the-hend line that showed the hair in a more revealing manner,

Appearing with Miss Garbo in "Romance" is a cast of well known players headed by Lwia Stone, and including Gavin Gordan, Elliott Nugent, Florence Lake Clara Blanick, Henry Armetta, Mathilde Comunt and Countess de Liguoro. Clarence Brown directed Miss Garbo's second audible picture,

The leading feminine role, is por- trayed by Dorothy Mackwill, one of the most talented and best known beauties of the screen, and Milton Sa and Kenneth MacKenna who are known for many big successes have the featured male roles.. Sharon Lynn and Roscoe Kains are also fea- tured: Other notables making up a carefully selected enst, include Oscar Apfel, James Bradbury, Jr., Harvey Clark Edythe Chapman and Low Harvey, under Berthold Ucrol direction,

The story, based on Ben Ames Wil. lams widely read magazine story. "A Very Practical Joke" is one of the most powerfully dramatic plays yut to reach the 'all talking screen.

It deals with a beautiful girl who, discouraged with life, attempts to rown herself, hat is rescued by the hard-boiled owner of a night club, who gives her a job as singer in his enba- ret. He makes ruthless and violent love to her but she manages to repulse his advances from time to time. Meanwhile a young newspaper colum- nist has written n Christmas mol story, heading it "The Loneliest Man in New York which sets forth the fact that he longs for an old-fashionet Christmas in the country. An aged couple living on the outskirts of a town not far distant, invite him to spend the holiday with them and add that they he may bring a friend.

The girl, intrigued by the news - paper story, writes him a letter in which she accuses him of insincerity and hypocrisy. He is pleased with

The three apple women started selling at the rate of three apples for a penny. The first sold 10 pence worth, the second 8 pence worth and the third 7 pence worth. Then Thus each sold their remaining apples at a penny a piece, the first woman got 10 pennies plus 3, or 13; the second 8 pennies plus 5, or 13 and the third 7 pennies plus 6, or 13.
