Brian Ahearne and K: Francis Compare Notes. Screen Careers Began by Chance Says Noted Stars Comparing notes on the set of their new coâ€"starring picture, Universal‘s "The Man Who Lost Himself," which comes to the Cartier theatre Thursâ€" day, Friday and Saturday, Oct. 30th, 31st, and Nov. ist, Brian Aherne and Kay Francis revealed that each became a member of the acting profession by the merest fluke. Outs‘die of school theatricals, »Miss Francis never gave the stage a thought. She had a business carger all mapped out for herself and, after leaving colâ€" lege, took a commercial course to preâ€" pare for her life in the busy marts of trade. Now Appearing in "The Inâ€" visible Killer." "There was a depression on," Miss Francis explained. "There »were no jobs. My money ran low. A friend suggzested that I get a job playing a small role in a modernized version of ‘*Hamlet.‘ I took it. ‘There wasn‘t much else I could do," she confided to Aherne. dancer a: had talli¢ sought Work Miss Francis intended to get a job in New York and become a business executive. Ahorne‘s early boyhood was spent in a theatrical atmosphere. He saw so much of it that he decided he definiteâ€" ly wanted no part of it. He wished to be an architect, and studied that proâ€" fession. He cbtained a post with an architectural firm which had a comâ€" mission to build a number of houses in south Africa. Grace Bradley Had Fame in Four Fields Before Hollywood e Ambitions Dampened But whoen members of the firm reâ€" turned from Africa with tales of fever, stinging insects and other perils of the Dark Continent‘s jungles, Aherne sudâ€" denly lost intsrest in architecture. He allowed his mother, a stage director, to place him in a small role in the play, ‘"Paddy, the Next Best Thing." "I thought I‘d soon get another job as an architect," he told Miss Francis, "but the excitement of the stage got me. And I‘m still acting." Talent immediat eventuall; being fea Buccesses Grace Bradley, who resumes her sereen caresr in the stellar feminine role of "The Invisible Killer," after an absence of two years on the screen, achieved professional recognition in four diffTerent fislds before she was first sought by Hollywood.

"Bally â€" a Y Easy Gaiety Will be Found in "Here Comes Mr. Jordan" Director Alexander Hall Says: "Laughs are Funny Things." "Laughs are funny things!" It sounds silly, but director Alexanâ€" der Hall didn‘t mean to be facetious in phrasing that remark. "The Invisible Killer" will be at the Broadway theatre, Thursday, Friday, Friday midnight, and Saturday, Oct. 30‘h, 3ist and Nov. l1st. Hall recently directed Columbla‘s "Here Comes Mr. Jordan," which stars Robert Montgomery at the Palace theatre with Claude Rains, Evelyn Keyes, James Gleason, Edward Everâ€" ett Horton and Rita Johnson. "Some time ago," Hall explained "I directed a comedy which rippled with bright dialogue. "In fact, it rippled far too much. The audience laughed so loud and long during several sequences that the enâ€" suing dialogue was lost. Portions of the story went with the missing diaâ€" logue. "That taught me a lesson. A short time later, I made a similar picture. This time the laughs were spaced careâ€" fully. Silent scenes were inserted to point the biggest punch lines. No part of the story was to be lost through laughter. Two years ago when she married William Boyd, famed on the screen as "Hopalong Cassidy," after a whirlwind romance, they both agreed one career in the family was enoughâ€"at least unâ€" til they had worked out together the problems that confront every young married couple. That‘s happened now "Well, those scenes became doubly silent when the audience refused to laugh as expected." Now Hall thinks he has hit the hapâ€" py medium. He has quit spotting his laughs. He lets them come where they may after first ascertaining that his main story line is altogether visual. "Here comes Mr. Jordon" will be a the Palace theatre, Thursday,> Priday Friday midnight and Saturday, Oct 30th, 3ist and Nov. ist. â€"so Grace Bradley is back in front of the cameras. Further, Hall has veered toward the comedy of situations, where dialogue sometimes is unnecessary for full efâ€" fect. The audience roars even in silent scenes because it thoroughly underâ€" stands the characters and enjoys, with godlike â€" aloofness, the predicaments, they get into. "*Mr. Jordan‘ to my way of thinkâ€" ing, is a perfect example of this type," the director amplified. "Much of the comedy in this picture is dependent upon the audience. Movieâ€"goers are the sole jurors, especially of a film like ‘Mr. Jordan.‘ which is based upon a situation which, while somewhat unâ€" usual, is especially designed for laughâ€" ter. ‘Mr. Jordon‘ must be seen to be appreciated even though, paradoxiâ€" cally enough, I feel certain that it is a story which will be told and reâ€"told by movieâ€"goers for many years to come. I simofuld like to suggest that, for the fullest enjoyment of the film audiences see it from the very beginning." Hall, when he say that "laughs are funny things," speaks authoritatively. He directed such sensational comedy sucscesses as "He Stayed for Breakâ€" fast" and "This Thing Called Love," and traces his record of hit films as far back as "Little Miss®Marker" and beyouond. "Here Comes Mr. Jordan," both Hollywood and Hall believe, is easily his greatest comedy. and weighs 108 pounds. Her hair is a natural. auburn and her eyes hazel.
