TWO FINE TALKIES Two splendid talkies make up the current programme at the Lyric Theatre. The first is “A dangerous Woman,” a tale of love and hate amid the white residents in a British outpost in tropical Africa. Clive Brook has an important role, supported by Olga Baclanova as his wife, Neil Hamilton as his brother officer, and Clyde Cook as his servant. A second big attraction on the same programme is “This Thing Called Love,” a comedy of a young couple who decided to treat marriage as a business proposition, without allowing love to enter in. The two well-known screen players, Edmund Lowe and Constance Bennett, play the leading roles.

Fern Andra, who became a leading star on the German stage under the direction of Max Reinhardt, the first foreign born actress to achieve this distinction in Germany, is playing the alluring “Mrs. Taine,” in the Henry King directed dramatisation of the Harold Bell Wright novel, “Eyes of the World,” now being filmed at United Artists’ studio.

Fox has launched a department headed by John Stone for the production of talkers in Spanish, with plans for extending the activities in French. German, Italian and the Scandinavian language. One film, “One Mad Kiss,” starring Don Jose Mojice, already has been made. The cast of this also includes Mona Maris, Antonio Moreno and Tom Patricola.
