“KEEP FIT.” Tonight marks the final screening of this delightful George Formby feast of fun. “THE LONE WOLF MEETS A LADY.” Tomorrow will be shown the most thrilling of all the Lone Wolf adventures, with Warren William, acclaimed as the best Lone Wolf of all time, in the leading role. Sophisticated, debonair, suave, charming, William has been taken into the hearts of the army of Lone Wolf fans who eagerly await each new success. All the essential elements that have won Michael Lanyard his popularity are present in “The Lone Wolf Meets A Lady.” A 100,000 dollar diamond necklace is at stake, pretty Jean Muir appeals to the Lone Wolf for help, a gang of crooks are after the jewels and the police biome the Lone Wolf for two murders, and a secret killer plots Lanyard’s doom. Warren William has his coterie of fans dating from “The Honour of the Family,” “Goodbye Again,” “The Match King,” “Lady For A Day,” and the two previous Lone Wolf films. A new trend in mystery films is established by “Double Alibi,” the Universal picture co-starring Wayne Morris, Margaret Lindsay and William Gargan, the associate feature. Morris, famous as the screen’s foremost portrayer of prizefighter roles, reaches new heights in one of the most unusual screen assignments of the season in “Double Alibi.” He fills what might bctermed a triple role, appearing to the police as a murderer, to the newspaper reporters as one of their fellow workers and to Miss Lindsay as a gay, if mysterious, young Lothario. Supporting them in important feature roles are Roscoe Karns, James Burke, William Pawley, Frank Mitchell, Wade Boteler, Cliff Clark and other well known players.
