The effort was a completo fallure, Not a smilo could be wrung from any of the four: The studio staff were bowlldered, and after several attempts, other players woro substituted with more auccess. It was revealed afterwards, upon enquiry, that the four persons first selected for this "shot" of wild joy and abandon at the table, wero lovers in the past and since had parted, Un. i knowingly, the assistant director had. brought them together again.

"While Parle Bleeps"

Victor McLagien, filmdom's tower ing leading man and hero of countless screen baitles, portrays a sympathe- tic role in "While Paris Sleeps", Fox action-drama of the Parisian under- world coming on Thursday to the King's Theatre. MeLaglen's Bergen repertory in the past has covered a wide range of characters, including soldiers of both Innd and sen, heart- breaking lovers, and rough and ready he-man rolen, but in, this melodrama he is said to eclipe them all in emotional appeal. The drama begins in French Guiana, where McLaglen is crving life imprisonment for a crime committed shortly after his decoration na war hero. Learning

of his wife's death, which means his only daughter will be cast alone en the streets of Paris, McLaglen escapes

Because of his years na a convict, and the prisoner's death he evnded only by escaping, McLaglen.fa forced to keep his identity a secret after he discovers his daughter in Paris. How he watches over her, however, and prevents her from fall ing prey to à cunning, treacherous band of apachos, constitutes the dramatic eonflict of the story infer woven with a romantic love. William Bakewell enncts the romantic lead the apposite Miss Muck, while supporting cast includes such players us Jock Talve, Rita LaRoy, Maurico Black, Dot Farely, Lucille LaVerne zuel Paul Porcasi.
