PRINCESS AND TIVOLI
“THE ACE OF CADS” Michael Arlen, author of “The Green Hat,” “These Charming People,” and “Mayfair,” from which was taken “The Ace of Cads,” and which comes to the Princess and Tivoli Theatres on Thursday, in the form of a Paramount picture, is quoted as saying that when he wrote the story he must have had Menjou in mind, although he did not know' him at that time. “There is nobody in the entire screen w r orld,” said Mr. Arlen. “better adapted to the role of Chappell Maturin, l’liomme qui sait, than is the suave, sophisticated Adolphe Menjou. The character of Maturin is that of a man who maintains silence for 20 years for the love of a woman, only to have her daughter fall in love with him. The spinning of a tale by him, in w'hich he depicts himself as a cad, that the daughter might hate him instead of love him, is enacted as only Menjou can do it. The rest Of the cast includes Alice Joyce, Philip Strange, and Suzanne Fleming.
