The trouble of course was a night club look like a sumpt- uous gllded palace of sky-scraper with regiments of glass floors golden-framed mirrors for walls, There was always a little secret office in guch a night club, wherd the fiendish villain held bit court between times of per- forming as master of ceremonies, Shootings, stabbings and rough- house brawls never failed to take place amid the wails and scamp- crings of scared and distraught members of the upper crust who had been sitting calmly all through this while at the various tables, But George Abbott, who, like most New Yorkers, has been in encugh night clubs to know what the average one looks like, has changed ail this. There is a se- quence in "Secrets of a Secre- tary," a play about New York so- ciety people, which calls for an interior of a night club. Abbott ordered a real one constructed on the set at Paramount's New York studio, The resultant reality of action is to be seen on the screen, The principals 'in the play--Claudette Colbert, Georges Metaxa, Hugh O'Connell and Betty Garde--- dance on a floor that is so erow- ded that dancing is virtually im- possible, a situation which is cliaracteristic of most' New York wine-and-dine joints. The chorus of this place is com- posed of eight girls*and an addi- tional speciality dancer who dou- bies in a song. "THEIR MAD MOMENT" AT THE NEW MARTIN New Styles Depicted In This Outstanding Production Parisian dressmakers say that long skirts demand graceful movements and that many wo- men will have to learn to walk again if the new fashion has come to stay. That edict will never apply to Dorothy Mackaill, co-featured with Warner Baxter in "Their Mad Moment," Fox drama com- ing to the New Martin 'Theatre. She Is admitted to be an out- standing example of feminine grace on the screen, and is, as cverybody knows, at home in either a bathing suit or the trails ing gowns currently in vogue. "I agree with the statement that long dresses require a more graceful carriage," Miss Mackalill sald, during the filming of her latest success, 'but I do not be- lieve that many American women wiil have to learn to walk anew. Tho strenuous exercises adopted by modern girls have taken care of that. "All the precautions: neces- sary," she continued, 'is to re- member that with each inch ad- ded to the length of the gown shorten the stride accordingly. Then that gliding grace, so much admired of the truly graceful woman, will replace the athletic stride developed by the era of short skirts." Miss Mackaill is seen in an un- Jtsually wide assortment of chars ming gowns and wraps in "Their Enthusiastic Bench Warmer ------ Mary Astor and Jack Holt appearing at the Regent Theatre soon in Radio Pictures.

Strangely enough ¢ince the comparison was made above, she also appears in a bath- +"White Shoulders" Scenes from Com ing Attractions to the Oshawa Theatres Turns Spotlight On Modern Pace The world and its gay places are presented in a giddy array -- from the pent houses of New York to the slums; from the cabarets of Paris to the gambling salons of Monte Carlo; from the honeymoon suites of palatial liners to the blue skies of Spain and Italy. The picture is said to give the "low-down" on stage beauties who shun love for money and men of wealth who would rather buy affe tion than merit it. "White Shoulders" represents Rex Beach at lus finest, The char acter of "Gordon Kent," played by Jack Holt, is one of Beach's most powerful in his famous gallery of two-fisted males. Kent, after establishing himself as Gotham's prize playboy, suddenl marries the beautiful chorine, Nor- ma Selbee, played by Mary Astor, the romance beginning with an epi sode new to the screen, "Marry me," Kent pleads "But 1 do not love you," protest Norma, "Fine," replies Kent. "Think of the love marriages that have gone on the rocks. Lct's make ours an impulsive one." Kent, however, failed to reckon with the immensity of his love, the starved longing of those twent, vears without women, and when the third man appears on the scene a tense drama emerges, It's a sixty minutes picture with fifty minutes of breathless climax It's all punch with a tremendous snapper at the finale, New Martin Theatre The first time on any screen -- Coach Howard Jones of the University of California and "The All American Football Team" in gripping action cn the gridiron!
