NOTES SUPPLIED BY THE

THEATRES

Genuine comedy material was laid right in the laps of motion picture producers when Nevada passed its Rix weeks residence law, making Reno the divorce capital of the world, Most of the movie producers muited the opportunity. But Radio Pictures

executives made full ake of it turn ing out "Peach O'Reno". This is the funniest Wheeler-Woolsey comedy to dato. Other divorce farces will have to do some high vaulting to top this. The picture is jammed full of hilar lous gage and has a cast that can put them over. In past Wheeler-Woolsey films, the two stars had to do morao- thing. One particularly funny quence is the farce love making of Woolsey and Misa O'Neal. It's riot, with Miss O'Neal copping alight edge for laughs.

We never have been able to under- stand why this young comedian who was a tremendous hit on the Broad- way stage, hamn't been more in do- mand in pictures. Its a safe bet that she will be after this picture. An other funny sequence shows Wheeler as a female impersonator, and how that boy can impersonate. Director William Selter also deserves con- alderable praise for the grand way which he keeps things moving.

There isn't a slow spot in the picture. Those who have not Boen "Peach Central Theatre O'Reno" at The

"Lily Christine"

the

Michaol Arlen's poignantly drama- tie "best seller," "Lily Christine," has bren Almed by Paramount British Productions, with Corinne Griffith in the title role. It will be shown as the King's Theatre's next attaction. The choice of Miss Griffith to portray Mr. Arlen's lovely, forlorn heroine is a particularly happy one, for as well An having great physical beauty, she is blersed with that natural poise which in so essential for such characterisation. The appealing charm of this polee was seen when Miss Grißth gave her unforgettable por- trayal of Lady Hamilton in "The Di- vine Lady," which was recognised as one of the finest performances over acon on the screen. But it has been equalled, even if not surpassed, by her superb acting in "Lily Christine." Mins Griffith is supported by a bril lant cast which may, without

"All usual exaggeration, be called an the star one. Colin Clive

lead. ing male role, that of Rupert Harvey atui a charming English novelist country gentlemen; Margaret Ban- nerrian, one of the most popular stars on the English stage, plays Mrs. Abbey, the actress friend of Lily Christine's husband; Mics Atander ne Ambarindi, a wealthy Greek, gives another of his inimitable character studies of a drunkard who remains a gentleman; Jack Trevor plays Ivor Summerest, the philandering husband of the heroine, and Anne Grey is seen as Muriel Harvey, Rupert's capable and rather domineering wife. Lily Chtistino" has been brillant- ly directed by Paul Stein, one of the Kreat makers of screen stars.

"Unashamed" Engrossing Drama. Foibles of madera youth, Infatua Bon versus reality, mid suspense the degree figure in "Unashamed," in which Bayard Veiller, famous author of "The Trial of Mary Dugan" and "The Thirteenth Chair," has created another thriller for screen. The BOW Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer picture, playing on Thur

Thursday at the Queen's Theatre, is remark- able not only for an outstanding characterization by Helen Twelvetr:es, And excellent work by a splendid cast, but for the daring originality of the her story. Mien Twelvetrees in

of characterization runs the gamut emotions from thoughtless upper to a woman who has tanted the bitter dregs of Bfe. Robert Young is vig orously convincing as

the brother, while the fortune hunting lover is ndepily played by Monroe Owsley. Amazing character work is done by Jean Hersholt as the old German grocer, and Lewin Stone and John Miljan battle as opposing attorneys in the trial scene. Rob Warwick plays the father and Gertrude MI- charl the brother'a sweetheart. Har-

Trial Of Vivienne Ware" Said to embrace the most dramatic court room scones ever filmed, "The Trail of Vivienne Ware", Fux pro- duction, is now showing at the King's Theatre. This picture, enacted by a cast that includes number of out- standing screen players, led by Joan Bennett, tells the story of a society beauty and heiress, caught in the web of circumstances and tried for a mur. der she did not conimit. Allan Dine- hart portrays the role of the micr ciless district attorney and. Donald Cook appears as the lawyer who defends the girl. Lillan Bond enacts the role of the night club entertainer and comedy rales are played by fer- ber Mundin. Skeets Gallagher, Zast Pitts, Marda Eburne and Christain Rub.

Brown plays in the role of the small town hero of "Fireman Save My Child," the first National Picture now showing at the Queen's Theatre aro composed of famous collegiate, major and minor league players.
