CINEMA NOTES.

"MADAM SATAN" HAS FINE SPECTACLE.

"Spectacle", interpreted in terms of striking motion picture scta and ccatumes, has long been a term spicially associated with the name of Cecil B. Do Mills, Metro-Goldwyn- With his Mayer producer-director. "Zeppelin Bail" of "Madam Satan". which will open the Queen's Theatre on Sunday, De Mille feels that he has uchieved a worthy ocular successor to the "Cinderella Ball" of "Forbladen Fruit", and the "Snek of Rome" in "Manslaughter."

De Millo's current appeal to eyes that love colour and charming draped human beings is laid aboard a Zep. pelin, the property of Roland Young. A comedian of the piece. A meeting on the Zeppelin between Bob Brooks Keginald Denny) estranged from his wife, Kay Johnson, with a mysterious "Madam Satan," provides the prin elpal plot impetus of Jeanie Mac- Pherson's story. The denouement takes place just as the airship is torn loose from its mooring mast, forcing the guests to jump in parachutes.

The story starts in the home of Angeln and Rob Brooks, who have grown apart from each other, and in the bedroom of Trixie, the other wo- man. It is from these early scenos that the story proceeds to the air. ship.

On the Zep three special ballet numbers are presented by dance direc- tor Leroy Prinz, formerly of the Enri Carroll's "Vanities." There are "The Cat Enlle," the "Clock Ballet" and the "Ballet Meebunique." the Inter featuring Theodore Kanlalf an "Elec. tricity."

"Love in the Rough". Exclusive of being delightful enter- Lalament, "Love in the tough" gives us a new roniantic team in Robert And Montgomery, who is featured, Dorothy Jordan.

a pleturization of The new Blm, the stage play, "Spring Fever", opens to-day at the Queen's Theatre, serving as Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's L..troduc tion to the motion pleture public of the two popular young players as

romancers.

There is

every reason to believe Montgomery and Miss Jordan will be picture together often again, the establishing the wisdom of the initial venture. Montgomery has the ir resistibility of cocksure youth, capți- vating to the Indles and likable to the men at the RAC Lime, Miss Jordan, is a fluttering bit of Southern femininity, sweetly appealing to both sexes and all 1 musical agce.

Sammy Lee. Both Montgomery and Miss Jordin sing and dance pleasing- ly, their dual numbers being excep tionally well presented and devold of stage artificiality and device. We know people don't generally start singing and dancing on the golf links but when they do in this entertaining fl it seems quite all right and natural enough.
