CINEMA NOTES

tor and

In "Peg of Old Drury" the latest British and Dominions film, now at the King's Theatre, Anna Neagle, of "Nell Gwyn" fame, surpasses herself in the role of Pag Wongton, the little Irish dancing girl who left her tumblo Dublin home the glamour of London Town became the greatest nutrees of her day and the adored of David Gar- alek. Her piquant features, her dashing male masquerade,

the sweetness of her Rosalind kˇthe interpolated scenes from "As. You Like 14", and the infinite pathos of her untimely death on the stage of Old Druty will long be remembered *19 the outstanding features of # magnifloent performance. Miss Neagle's brilliant study is equalled only by Sir Cedric Hardwield's mas- derly interpretation of the part of David Garrick, the greatest melor of his generation. As Mr. Rich notoriously eccentric manager Drury Lane Theatre whose passion for cats led him to keep some forty old felines about the house, Hay Potric contributes a delightful canteo to the picture. Finally, Robert Ar- khs makes ΠΥ impressive Dr. Johnson whilst George Barrett's mart as an old stage-door keeper stands out in bold relief

"Easy to Take”

Marsho Hunt ad John Howard share top honours Ni the leading roles at Paramount's breezy comedy-romance, Easy to Take, which opens at the Alhambra Theatre today. The fim is a con- sistently amusing story of life be hind the scenes" in a major radio broadcasting studio. "Easy to Take" 15 0 skillful blend of Jun and romance, plot and suspense, paced for entertainment by Director Glean Tryon. Howard and Mlas Hunt are ak d by group of unusually capa- ble actors, including Eugene Pallette, a veteran who appears as manager a radio hour; Richard Carle, Douglas Scott and Jan Duggan. The youthful Scott succeeds ndmirably In portraying an annoyingly spoiled ten-year-old. Novelty entertain- ment Boquences are skillfully woven into the story, as one program after another goes on the air in the studio which is the picture's background. Meal radio performers have been

enlisted-some now to movies.

"Murder By An Arlatoerai“ A new. and balling mystery melodrama, “Murder by an Aris tocrat," comes Lo the Majestic Theatre to-day, with Lyle Talbot, Marguerite Churchill and Claire Dodd in the leading roles. Produced by First National from the exciting novel by Mignon G. Eberhart the picture is said to be packed with thrilling situations, eerie and blood curdling episodes that make the hair stand on end. Lyle Talbot and Miss Churchill play the roles of doc- jor and nurse, who are in love with the role of a member of the family who, though married, carries on o clandestino love affair with her husband's cousin, a part played by John Eldredge. Other members are Virginia Brissac, William Davidson, Gordon Elliott, Joseph Crehan and Florence Fair. Stuart Holmes the butter and Lóttle Williams and Mary Treen the two maids.

"Gorgeous Hussy" Teaming of the world-wide popu- dar Joan Crawford with

Robert Taylor, most sensational "And" in the history of movies in the now Early American romance "The Gor- Acous Hussy"! showing at the Oriental Theatre on Wednesday and

1x

Thursday is considered Hollywood's masterstroke of casting for the year. Miss Crawford in the title role, plays that gorgeous-hussy, Pegg O'Neal daughter of a Washington innkeeper in the Jacksonion period of, Ameri- ca's history. A beautiful and firta- tions creature. Peggy O'Neale trips from one romance to another, be- comes both the toast and the sean dal of conventional Washington, and In the end elses to prominence as the First Lady of. Democracy. Taylor, as "Bow" Timberlake, officer on the S. S. Consitution, da the mark who sweeps her off her feet and into a marriage which proves a gripping test of Peggy O'Neale charazier and convkitions.

"I Married A Doctor" Once in a generatión a book is written that directly effects the thinking habits, and even the lives, of a nation. Sinclair Lewis, the only American ever to win the coveted Nobel Prize for literature, wrote the best selling novel of mar- ried love which was adapted into the remarkable modow picture drama "I Married a Doctor" which Awith Pat O'Brien and Josephle Hutchinson in The Leading roles

now at the Star Theatre. The novel struck telling blows at pro- vincialism of thought and Ule, at scandal mongering and life, scandal mongering, and at warped and narrow vision. Pat O'Brien, 4sually seen in a fast talking, wise cracking role, is cast in a vastly different characterisation In this film, that of the slow speaking, good, humoured country doctor, and he shows his dine ability as an actor by Treating, for the character a genuine sympathy and understanding. Josephine Hutchinson, who plays oppasito him, has a most

dificult role as the young wife who is ut- terly impatient with the narrow lives and petly gossip at her neigh- bours. She gives the part a fine Interpretation, and displays, equal artistry in portraying tense emo- tional scenes and in the lighter mo- ments. Thero is a strong chat in support.
