OCTAGON
Clark Gable and Constance Bennett, who need no introduction to local pioturegoers, are co-starred in ‘ After Office Hours,’ which is the headliner on the new bill of fare at the Octagon Theatre. The other film on the programme is ‘ One New York Night,’ which resembles the featured film in that the story contains a delightfully entertaining mixture of comedy and drama. In ‘ After Office Hours ’ Gable is cast as Branch, managing editor of a newspaper, who always gets his story though it may mean resorting to the methods of tho . North-west Mounted. Constance Bennett is Sharon, the publisher’s “ socialite ” niece and Branch’s society reporter. Rich, smart, and independent, it is the kind of role on which the star has built her fame. Alternating between Park Avenue, Park Row, and a boathouse on Long Island Sound, where a murder is committed, the story deals with the attempt of the managing editor to uproot an imminent society scandal. ‘ One New York Night’ has Franchot. Tone and Una Merltel as its principals, and has as the basis of its plot a murder committed in a metropolitan hotel.
