CINEMA SCREENINGS.

NOTES SUPPLIED BY THE THEATRES.

Gloria Swanson has been- BUCCESS- ful in changing the careers of three very well known gentlemen and the niusic world stands in imminent dan- ger of losing its star. trio, De Sylva, Brown and Henderson to the literary and playwright world..

When Miss Swanson began casting about for a suitable story for her United Artists picture, she had a Audden inspiration. She felt sure that they could write her an orginal comedy-drama with as much per- fection as they compose musical plots. While "Indiscreet", which the trio called their initial dramatic effort, is essentially a dramatic piece, yet they' could not resist the temptation of in- fecting two songs which fit perfectly into the story and do not in any sense put the production into the musleal class. The titles are: "Come to Me," and "If You Haven't Got Love". Mira Swanson is afforded a character- ization which is said to have the name dramatic quality of "The Trepasser", She canays the roles of "Jerry Trent" who has very definite ideas of how to treat men, and puts them into practice, when she finds an old ni. mirer of shallow affections making love to her young sister.

The supporting cast reads like a Who's Who" of Hollywood. Ben Lyon is the leading man, and is paid to have turned in one of his best performances; Barbara Kent has the ingenue role: Monroe Owaloy, noted for his work in "Holiday" in the "menace", "Indisereat" is now show- ing at the King's Theatre.

"Ficah"

"Flesh,"with Wallace Beery ag stor, opened yesterday at the Queen's Theatre. Beery has a powerful role, comedy and pathos giving him plente- ous opportunity to display his ver- natlle talents. As Herr Polika!, Beery plays a wrestling walter in n German beer garden, where he meets and marries Karen Morley, an Amer ican girl who has been abandoned by her dancing partner, Ricardo Cortez. He becomes wrestling champion of Germany, and then goes to the United States to neek the world's title. There he and the girl becomes on- tangled in the scheming of Miss Morley's former lover, who tries to make Polikai accept the dictation of n.crooked 'wrestling ring.

The story is an original by Edmund Goulding. It was adopted to the kerden by Leonard Praskins and Edgar Allan Woolf, with dialogue by Mans Hart, co-author of "Once In n Lifetime."

John Ford, who directed "Arrow- smith," "Airmail" and "The Iron

other Horse," among

sucesses, directed Wallace Beery for the first time in "Flesh."

feature That ever-absorbing

of London life, the Changing of the Guard at St. James' Palace, has notable place in "Wedding Rehearea!" the London Film Production directed by Alexander Korda, which will shortly be shown at the King's. The Changing of the Guard is not put in- to the film simply because of its value 40 a spectacle; it happens to be integral part of the fascinating und original plot of the picture. Real shots of the brilliant ceremony have been skilfully mixed with those taken in the studio, and those who see the film will be unable to detect where tho real ceremony given place to the Roland Young studio insertions. (who came from America especially to play a lending part in the pleturej will be seen in the colourful uniform of Guard's Offleer, complete with bearskin bushy.

Wedding hearsal" is also notable for striking studio sets, and some lovely exterior settings in specially-chosen beauty spots,in the country. Some of these scenes were taken in North Mymma Park, one of the most beauti- ful estates in England. This lovely mansion and grounds date back to Queen Elizabeth, and they were kind- ly placed at the disposal of London Film Productions through the courtesy and generosity of Mrs. Walter Burns, the present owner. Thone who enjoy a really polished and entertaining production should on no account milag seeing "Wedding Rehearsal".
