| “THE GENTLEMEN OF THE PRESS” Take a story dripping with human ! interest in an atmosphere that every- | one likes to hear about, give it a cast i of fine, magnetic actors and a produc- | tion that puts into it every possible j value, and one gets a picture like | “Gentlemen of the Press,” Paramount's | latest all-talking drama of newspaper i life which the Roxy theatre will fea- ! ture from today. i On the stage “Gentlemen of the Press” was the sensation of Xew York and the story has been faithfully reproduced for the screen. A master cast, headed by the incomparable stage artist, Walter Huston, includes six members of the original stage cast. The story deals with a veteran newspaperman who has given up everything in life for his business. When his daughter was born, he was covering a prize-fight; when his wife died, he was on assignment covering a Mexican uprising: when his daughter graduated from high school, he was writing about Lindbergh. The I only thing he has not given up is his I fatal susceptibility for a pretty woman. It is this character that Walter Huston portrays on the talking screen in “Gentlemen of the Press.” It is this thrilling story that will entertain and delight patrons of the Roxy Theatre. The Roxy’s now programme also introduces several entertaining shorter talkie items. Lenore Ulric is so devoted to the art of acting that she spends all her leisure time in seeing plays, sitting through good or . bad. Xo wonder she showed endurance recently in wearing an Arctic fur coat all through her picture, “Frozen Justice,” in the midst of the torrid spell.
