NOTES SUPPLIED BY THE

THEATRES,

As presented by First National, "Five Star Final" to be shown at the Queen's Theatre to-morrow. is n masterly im, unmatched by any dramatic attempt since the advent of the talkies. Picturized from the play of the same title by Louis Weitzen korn, ik has been directed by Mervyn Le Roy with a tremendous force and directness. In his hands, the story becomes an even more stirring and powerful document than was the original play. That is saying a great deal, for the Weitzunkoru drama was an outstanding hil of last season on Broadway and has remained a subject for lively comment and discussion First National has assembled a list of names. for this production which, on Broadway, would be termed the all- star cast of seasons. "In adition to Edward G. Robinson's remarkable performance as Randall, managing editor of the tabloic there are fine Jobs by II. B. warner, Marian Marsh, Frances Starr, Ona Munson, Aline
