RUTH CHATTERTON WORK OF FAMOUS MYSTERY AUTHOR REACHES SCREEN The really famous present-day writers of mystery stories are few --but those few exceptionally well- known. Most promient of the list, which includes Louis Joseph Vance, Sax Rohmer, Edgar Wallace, Frank L.' Packard, Valgntine Williams and S.S. Van Dine, is E. Philips Oppenheim, whose novels of crook- dom are best sellers the world over. One of the most famous of this celebrated author's books is "The Lion and the Lamb," a best-seller Columbia has transferred this book to the screen and it is at the New Martin Theatre today and Monday It is interpreted by a brilliant cast of film stars including Walter By- ron, Carmel Myers, Miriam Secegar, Raymond Hatton and Mantagu Love. LEW CODY HAD T0 MEMORIZE RAGING SLANG Learning jargon of the ' race- track and the intricate art of "deal ing from the bottom," "stacking the deck" and so forth is almost like going to school over again. At least, so says Lew Cody, Lew "came honre" to the Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer studios, where most of his big successes were made, to play his first role there since his recent illness in "Sport- ing Blood," based on the Satur- day Evéning Post story "Horse- flesh," by Frederick Hazlitt Bren- nan. The role was that of Tip Scan- lon, the gambling magnate, The script called for plenty of racing slang--~not the slang one hears on the grandstand, but the slang of the inner circle of jockeys, train- ers, horse owners and bookmakers. Also he had to know the trickery of cards. The new story is a vivid drama of the racing game, with Clark Gable and Madge Lvans as central figures, who find regeneration in bringing an abused racehorse back to health. Charles Brabin directed the 'picture with a notable cast that includes Ernest Torrence, Marie Prevost, Harry Holman, Hallam Cooley "and others, Thrills of the Kentucky Derby and other famous races are among the highlights of the dramatic love story. CHARLIE RUGGLES | IN FARGE- (ONEDY, "THE GIRL HABIT" § Charlie Ruggles, the droll but cherubic-looking comedian of "Young Man of Manhattan," "Her | Wedding Night" and 8ther success ful taikies, 1s to be seen soon at | the Regent Theatre in his first star- ring picture "The Girl Habit." In 'this picture, which was made | at Paramount's New York studio, Ruggles 1s definitely launched by his sponsors into a career of star dom which will carry him to the forefront of screen personalities. Ruggles has yell merited the dis tinction of stardo His ¢ areer has been featured by Dats work and | painstaking care. At a youthtul ag he began his stage carcer in n Francisco, - It was-not long bef he was starring in musicals in New York and on the road. Among his | biggest successes were Butler" and "Queen High." In "The Girl Habit," which out-and-out farce with on¢ laugh tumbling quickly on the trail giggles of its predecessor, Ruggics is scen in a characterization w allows him full play for his ready | talents, Donald Meck, a favorite charac ter actor of stage and screen, | plays the part ot Charlie's manser- | vant. The pompous mother-in-law «to-be is enacted by Margaret Du- | mont--who was last seen as the be- | devilled hostess for the "Animal Crackers" and "Cocoanuts" Marx Brothers, 4 SPANISH STAR LEARNED ENGLISH IN RECORD TIME In "Never The Twain Shall Meet,, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer ro- mance of the South Sea Islands Conchita Montenegro has set an all-time record for talking pictures, Miss Montenegro arrived in Am- erica just eight months age and could not speak a word of English. She came from her native Spain and within six months was playing the leading lady in an all-Engliéh talking picture. Never before in the history of pictures has any player been featured after such a short period in which to learn the language. In "Never The Twain Shall Mect," Miss Montenegro has only one sentence in a foreign tongue. Playing the part of a native of the South Sea Islands, her slight accent is an asset rather than a 1s all America's airships!" That is the right answer! Centuries ago, long before there were ships of the air, romantic sca-faring men, voyaging far from their homes, swecthearts and wives 2fiectionately referred to their ship "she." And so all types of A are always called by the pro- nouns "she" or "her." At Lakehurst, N, J., when the great "Los Angeles" was ready to be used in filming "Dirigible," the officers of the airship gave the coms mand to take "her" out of the han- gar and in a few minutes, "she" was soaring in the heavens under the command of Jack Holt. What a leading lady the "Los Angeles" is! No other leading Ja- dy can compare with her in size) * And what a huge role she plays in "Dirigible!" The leviathan of America's aeris al navy is 650 fect tail. If you put her up against New York's tower ing Woolworth Building, she would almost reach the top. If the fast- est track athlete in the world sprin- ted with lightening speed from one end of the "Los Angeles" to the other, it would require, almost a halt a minute! The mdst terrific home runs Babe Ruth has ever made would fall short of the length of the huge airship. Feminine movie fans will appre- ciate the size of the "Los Angeles" when they realize that if 250 silk stockings were placed end to end, they would just about reach from the bow to the stern of the gt "Battling | "Spend the week- enda at atthe Lake -- Ssemammgomiae zz might be an example to many who have never left the shores of Am- erica, it n the y short period conquer our language it in a manner that ere It Is-The Greatest irPictureEver Filmed NEW MARTIN Coming Tuesday | | THE FAMOUS SWIMMERS | | th e The dramatic achievement of the year...daring... different . . . a vivid, intri- guing play you will see «.. again and again .
