This play is said to have done tho same thing for the stage that Cecil B. De Mille's "Old Wives for Now" accomplished for the screen, namely, It started the vague. for dramatic presentations of the divorce problem. Maugham approached his topic with a delicious sense of humour and his play reached wide, success both in this country and England. In the

in American presentation the featured roles were played by the late John Drew and Mrs, Leslie Carter.

The comedy deals with Maugham' conception of what would happen if a wife who deserted a husband should mest that husband thirty years Inter. And also Maugham considers what the effect of this "horrible examplo" might be on two young and mad fools who contemplato a similar mistake. When it came out it was halled sa A elanne of satire, and it has never loat its hold on the theatrical public.

For the screen, David Burton, the former stage director, has provided an excellent cast, including Lewis Stone, Ernest

Dale Torrence. Catherine Owen. Alison Skipworth. Tyrrell David, Mary Forbes, and a new land- ing man from England, Paul Can- vanagh.

F. W. Murmnu's "4 Devils.“ Simpin stories, aimply told, repre- sent the height of art in film making. according to F. W. Murnau, celebrat ed foreign director, whose second Fox picture, "4 Devils," now being shown at the Stor Theatre. A tale dening with the heart Interest of everyday folk, primitive emotion told directly, always is Interesting to all the world. he claims, and tho com- plications of life having nothing to do with auch a story. Human problems In Continental or American society circles may differ, yet a simple heart stary will appeal to those two ex- tremes. There is eternal truth In simplicity, is Murnau's theory, and he has demonstrated this truth in "14 Devils," a simple, yet powerful story of deep heart, Interest that concerns a beautiful woman sophisticale and a trapeze performer. It is a tale that will unfold from the sawdust ring. revealing, perhaps, the most sensational thrill ever recorded by a motion picture comers.

Murnau's training for his work as director WILDL exhaustive. It began with a university education at Heldel berg, where he was a fellow student of another fellow director, Ernest Lubitsch. Following univerity days and the two men turned to acting joined the Max Reinhardt's company as novices. To Reinhardt Murnau given credit for his education in the fundementals of acting and dramatics, William Haines ne Radio Announcer.

Willam Haines puts on a one man radio program which alone is worth the price of admission to see "Remote Control," his new Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer talking picture, which is show. ing at the Queen's Theatre,

In his clever vocal inpersonation of the "ether favourites, Haines inspires one of the most hilarious scenes of his career. He

doen on Amos "n" Andy dialogue and cuta all sorts of miserophonic capers before he is through, ably abetted by Polly Moran, Charles King and Roscoe Ates. not to forget John Miljan, whose radio clairvoyant talks supply motiva tion to the story.

Adapted by Sylvia Thalberg and Frank Butler from the staged play, the new Haines picture provides swift and furious' action, replete with bank holdups, the sensational roof-up hotel robbery with a radio station furnish- ing the back-ground and novel pre- mine upon which the story is based. It is by far the most unusual plot the screen has seen for many months and is bound to be a surprise whether you've seen the play or not.

Edward Sedgwick directed the ple- ture with a tempo that builde rupidly to the elimax and injected laughs galore into the procedings. Haines is at his comedy best in the broad- casting sequence, but manages to be convincingly dramatic in the moments bf auspense. It is by far one of the most entertaining Haines taikle yet.

Novel Bridal Gown in Film. As the rebellious bride of Eddie Cantor's first Lalking picture, "Wharpes" coming to the Queen's Theatre on Sunday, Eleanor Hunt wears a gown that was designed for her by John Harkrider, costumer-in- chief on the staff of Florenze Ziegfeld. That it is probably the first and last nonstage costume created by the 'noted decorator does not decrease the great beauty it gives Samuel Goldwyn's newest and youngest red. haired prodigy. '

Miss Hunt's gown in the picture is of ivory white saun in its foundation and train. Tiny erylal beads outline the neck in a wide scalloped effect. Ivory tulle edged in fino lace, forma s cascade of ruffles at the front of the dress. The tiny bridal exp and mitte are at Ivory polat venise laco. Tha vall is of ivory tulle and the suppors satin, of the same colour.

Decorativo, as well as assertively feminine, the bridal bouquet has the massed effect of lion of the valley, tled with many, loops of eatin and tuilo ribbon,
