It is an engaging story (the main gramophone factory) which "Marry Ble" tells, with the expert abelstance of these three monarchs of laughter, Harry Green, Georgo Robey, and Billy Caryll and of course the charming Renate Muller horself, who is supported by Ian Hunter, Maurica Evans, Charles Hawtroy, and Viola Lyci,

It is the story of a pretty gramo- phone recordist who is in love with a fellow employee (Ian Hunter). The young gentleman, head of a bachelor household of three brothers, is slow to realise Renalo's affection for him, and hankers after "a rich marriage." Ho Is unaware that Renate has deter- mined to "get her man" and that, naught the advice of her she is about to bring football stratory to bear upon her matrimonial tho aspirations. How sho

It's one of those

delightful comedies that Paramount does no well, full of quips and sallies that prance side by akle from start to finish. Jogously entertaining, you'll ilke the east of screen experts and the manner in which they interpret the humour.

"Secrets of the French Police"

Murders, masler detectives, hypnot- Ism, abductions, and diabolically plotted "accidental" deaths, all spaced at breath-taking tempo, make "Secrets of the French Police" one of the best pictures of its kind ever screened or written. It is at tho Central Theatre to-day. As taken from the memoirs of H. Ashton Wolfe, and combined with Samuel Ornitz's

amazing story, "The Lost Empress", thia RKO-Radio Picture offers all the thrills possible to pack into an hour and a half of screen entertainment.

Gwili Andre, as the lovely Paris flower girl who is abducted by hypnotized, and presented on tho Missing Princess. Anastasia of Russia, fulfils all the promise she revealed In her early pictures.
