NOTES SUPPLIED BY THE THEATRES

The early ambition of Spencer Tracy was to become a great surgeon, tut instend, nore by force of clr- cumstances than anything else, he became on uctor. It was white ho wan attending Marquette University that a series of events changed the trend of his plans. There he was in- eed to portray a role in a collego play and he enjoyed it so much that le decided to leave Marquette and of enter the American Academy Dramatic Art where he laid the foundation for his career on the stage and screen. In "Me and My Gal" Tracy plays the role of an im- perturbable young detective who finds! "Dance with a girl cashier in a re- taurant, a love affair that leads him to the trail of murderer on whose bra there in a reward of $10,000. It is said to be a tripping drama of fe in New York, tempered by rich "onredy altuations. The plcture was 4ireeted by Raoul Walsh who dirceted WW GIN."

"An You Deatre Me" Greta Garbo in an exotic silver wi und black harlequin costume present: a vivid portrayal as the heroine of firandello's great play, "An You Desire Me." The screen version of this stage bit opens on Saturday at The Queen's

You Theatre. "Ax Destre Me" affords Misa Gacho a dual character, An were. later changing her personality, and mood to fit the demure and fragile creature into whose memory she projects her life. Enden, with metaphysics and naychology, it is a story of regenera- tion done in a cleverly different man. per. Indeed, the story is unusual. ly annealing in a unique treatment, That it holds the interest of a, genuine life drama. Mas Garbo, if it ureds be said, is, as usual, anguificent. Her every, inflection, slightest

ure, adds potency to the rate in which simply submerged herself. Miss Garbo's talents are entirely in- vival and, in the opinion of this reviewer, the most artistic the screen has produced since its inception. An Zara. The cafe entertainer who mas

uerades as the insing wife of Count Brano, distracted war veteran, Miss Garbo eclipses her greatest triumphs. While not as completely sympathetic as some of her previous part, the Pirandello role offers her he widest latitude in emotionalism she has ever played. George Fitz- maurice, who directed Miss Garbo in "Mata Hari," also directed "As You Desire Me, from Gene Markey' adaptation of the singe hit. Melvyn Пouglas, one of the screen's newest romantic sensations, plays opposite the glamorous star, enacting the role of the Italian nobleman who accepts the woman with a past ns the wife who was torn from, him in the devastation of warfare. Erich Von Stroheim provides sufficient mennee as Zara's persecutor, Salter. The re- mainder of the excellent cast includes Ottinno, Hedda Hopper, Rafacin

Conti Warburtan Gamble, Albert William Ricciardi and Roland Varno. "Say it, with Musle"
