CINEMA NOTES

A story that strikes deep and sure at love to-day, opens at the Queen's Theatre to-morrow, In the Twentieth Century Fox picturization romance, "To Mary With Love", Warner Baxter, and Myrna Loy, together for the third time cinematically, are co- starred and their performances op- posite each othor are said to surpass the heights they reached in "Brond- way Bill" and "Penthouse." Ian Hunter, as Myrna's childhood sweet- heart who stil loves her, and Claire Trevor, as Die good-time girl who almost disrupts the romance, are, featured in the cast which also in- cludes Jean

Dixon. Derry F. Zanuck, chieftain of the Twentieth Century-Fox studios, selected John Cromwell-10 direct "To Mary. With Love," and Kenneth Mac- Cowan associate producer.

Women Are Trouble" "Women Are Trouble," which opened last night at the Majestic Theatre a '' newspaper story out of the ordinary In every respect. It gives the audience the viewpoint on current events that is had by the working newspaper craft. And, most encouraging, it presents newspaper life without exaggeration. Stuart Erwin performs an excellent task in his characterization of Matt Casey, a star reporter. Florence Rice, daughter of the newspaper sports authority, Grantland Rice, portrays a girl re- porter as newspaper men know the type., Paul Kelly, who "sits in" ap city editor, draws a character with whom every reporter is unforgettably fonilior.

The picture brings together for the first time in three years the romantle team of Montgomery and Madge Evans. They were list seen together in "Lovers Courageous."

Directed by Robert Z. Leonard, who made "The Great Ziegfeld," the new picture gives Montgomery and Miss Evans a stellar supporting cast that includes a new comedy team, Frank Morgan and Bille Burke, in addition to Eric Blore, Robert Benchley, Ralph Forbes, Cora Witherspoon, Grant Mitchell, Aileen Pringle and Billy Bevan.

With Irvin S. Cobb and Slim Summerville. as her hilarious henchmen, "Ginger" Jane goes on a riotous rempage in her new hit that promises to eclipse even the merriest of mischievous miss" previous triumphs.
