Every Lady in the Dress Circle To-morrow Night will be presented with a delightful Souvenir of this memorable event a Rose, the fragrance of which will bring to you all the charm and the romance of “ The Vagabond King.” FINAL SCREENING TO-NIGHT—CHARLIE KING AND BESSIE LOVE IN “CHASING RAINBOWS.” When it becomes necessary to write up a Maurice Chevalier picture, the habit develops of writing up only Maurice Chevalier. People are always much more interested in Chevalier than his picture or stage pieces, interested in what h© sings, what sort of jokes he makes, and whether the picture is a romantic confection or just a succession of funny incidents and amusing songs. Whatever it is, people will love it, for Chevalier has the knack of making over the most unlikely material into a finished production of dazzling wit and brilliance. In “Innocents of Paris,’* the picture which is at the Rialto Theatre, the French actor has excellent material to work upon something French, and frivolous, and just sufficiently dramatic in places to make it completely acceptable to all types of audiences. In this picture he is assisted by Margaret Livingstone. Sylvia Beecher, Mr. and Mrs. George Fawcett and John Miljan. BRITANNIA Both the song numbers and the ballet sequences are distinctive and delightful in “Let’s Go Places,** the big talkie at the Britannia Theatre. “Let’s Go Places'” is a riotous, tuneful, diverting story of life and nightlife in the screen capital. Authentic and intimate views of the real Hollywood—behind the scenes of a talkie studio, filmland’s showiest cafes, the blaze and glitter of a Hollywood “premiere.” a genuine movie party, a wealth of catchy songs, spectacular ballet numbers, and a thousand laughs -—all are woven into this merry, whilring musical romance. A Hoot Gibson picture, “The Long. Long Trail,” is also being shown. REGENT, EPSOM Two particularly fine talkies are being shown at the Regent Theatre, Epsom The first is “Woman to Woman,” the dramatic story of a man who married a French girl during the war, was shell-shocked and lost his memory, and years after, with his mind still a blank, married again. The big moment comes when the two wives face one another. Betty Compson and George Barraud are the stars. The second big attraction is “Blackmail,” an all-British talkie with a tremendously powerful theme and enacted by a cast of British stars. LAST DAYS OF "HIGH SOCIETY’ In “High Society Blues,” at the Civic Theatre, Lucien Littlefield is an lowan who has built up a chain of prosperous grocery stores from one corner store, and he sells out to a national chain for 4.000,000 dollars. With such , a bank-roll he takes his family, including his son Eddie, played by Charles Farrell, his daughter, Joyce Compton, ajid his wife. Louise Fazenda, East. Complications result when his family becomes embroiled with William Collier, sen., Hedda Hopper and Janet Gaynor, playing the family next door. Miss Gaynor and Farrell, as usual, have the romantic leads and incidentally sing five songs, written for them by Joseph McCarthy and James F. Hanley. David Butler directed and his work is well on a par with the deftness he achieved in “Sunny Side Up.” A brilliant supporting programme of pictures and music is also beini shown. What happened in Temple Tower'' The girl inside, prisoner of a giant criminal and a half-crazed jewel thief —the intrepid “Buldog” Drummond outside, baffled by spiked walls and barred windows from access to the girl he loves—neither knowing if the other were still alive or not —behind them both the sinister figure of the Masked Strangler, with murder in his chilly heart, and things happen! This is the powerful central situation in “Temple Tower,” Fox Movietone all talker, the spine chill which introduces local film fans to something new in the way of screen entertainment when it opens at the Civic Theatre shortly. Kenneth Mac Kenna, Marceline Day and Henry B. Walthall have the leading roles in this screen rendition of H. C. McXeile’s latest novel directed by Donald Gallaher. LONDON THEATRE Victor Heerman, who has just compteted directing Clara Bow in a sketch ror Paramount on Parade,” has transferred to the Long Island studios where he will direct “Animal Crackers.” the Four Marx Brothers’s next Paramount screen musicale. Te new musical comedy is scheduled for production next month, with a supporting cast of prominent stage artists. One of England’s best known character actresses is Nancy Price, o. Drury Lane fame, who appears as the old hag in the Cinema Art Films alldialogue production, “The American Prisoner,” which is being presented at the London Theatre. In this picture she is instruments.! in aiding Carl Brisson, the hero, and a party of convicts, to escape fr© 2l the prison cells of Dartmoor gaol. Her screen performance is most > and ranks of greater fame* on the right supports are also being shown. From tomorrow, the London will present “The Return of Sherlock Holmes,” an exciting detective story based on Sir Arthur Conan DOfJ* * famous character, with Clive Brook in the chief role.

Cliff Edwards, M.G.M.’s singing comedian, has added another accomplishment to his list. He took lessons on a piccolo to play it in the new “Clock Shop” revue. Now, besides calling him “Ukulele Ike,” his friends also call him “Piccolo Pete.”
