Based upon Harriet Henry's latest: novel, "Lady With A Past" tells the very human story of a love-hungry girl who cannot attract man, because she is shyer and more serious than the other beauties in her social set.

"The Painted Woman"

The story of "Too Busy To Work" revolves around the adventures of a philosophical and kindly vagabond and his search for his daughter, whom hising glory. unfaithful wife took with her when she ran away with a more aristo cratic man while he was away fight ing in the war..

Ben Ames Williams wrote the story which was prepared for the screen by Philip Klein and Barry Conners. The picture was directed by John Blystone, dean of directors for Fox Flims.

"She Done Jim Wrong"

Mine West's first starring picture, "She Done Him Wrong" comes on Sunday to the Queen's Theatre. The picture was written by Mae West.

"She Done Him Wrong" is lusty, roaring melodrama of the Bowery-a hearty tale of the notorious old avenue where men are men and women are "on the make." Its saloons and its politician its honkytonks and its "dames, furnish a background for the activities of the principal .clar- ncters.

Miss West is east us "Lady Lou." a famous beqr-hall entertainer with a deadly effect on unwary males. Her suitors flock around her, practically in awarins, but she deals with them in s matter-of-fact fashion. Thone who can provide her with the diamonds which are her weakness may enjoy her favours. The others?-too bad.

Into this scene comes Cary Grant. apparently a mission-worker without diamond to his name, His appear. ance on the scene lends to n starting, highly dramatic climax,

which puts | Lady Lou in his arms without the customary tribute in gems.

Miss West sings three songs during the course of the picture the popular old ballad, "Frankie and Johnnie," and two new
