WHAT SHOW TONIGHT? Colonial—"The Man From Blankley’s,” with John Barry more. McDonald — Constance Ben nett in "Common Clary.” Heilig — Amos ’n’ Andy in "Check and Doublecheck.” In a sophisticated and smart modern comedy, his first as a talkie star, John Barrymore comes today at the Colonial. Based on Ansley's play, "The Man From Blankley’s,” is a very high hat play on mistaken identity. Its humor is Dickensian. When a man, supposedly hired as a dinner guest, arrives a trifle tipsy, and announces himself as a lord intent on being the life of the party, there follows an amusing series of adventures with the guests—an odd a collection as Dickens ever created—and a love affair with the governess, played by Loretta Young. The Colonial is bringing "The Man From Blankley’s” to their theatre as a first run picture, but are not altering their admission policy. Amos ’n’ Andy at the Heilig Those two radio comedians, Amos ’n’ Andy, are continuing their laugh riot, “Check and Dou- i hie Check,” at the Heilig theatre. The film is loosely knit, but amus ing tale built around the charac ters created by them in their ra dio broadcasts. Sue Carol, Irene ; Rich, and a dozen other screen personalities are supporting them. "Common Clay” Is Gripping Drama Bringing a stage play to the speaking screen and at the same time makin,. ft of absorbing inter est and entertainment value to the p.udience might seem a difficult task, but Victor Fleming has ac complished it with his production of "Common Clay,” with Constance | Bennett enacting the leading role, ^ starting today at the Fox McDon ald theatre. Taken from Cleves Kinkhead's Harvard prize play of the same name, "Common Clay” presents a vivid story of a girl of the people, whose love for gaiety and dancing led her into an ever-tightening web of circumstances. Miss Ben nett is said to surpass even trer notable work in “Sons of the Gods" by her performance in this offering, and Lew Ayres, who leap ed to fame in "All Quiet on the Western Front,” plays the mascu line role opposite her. ♦ SOCIETY ♦ By CAROL HURLBURT Marriage of Elsie Moller Is Announced Last night at the Alpha Omieron PI house Miss Elsie Moller an nounced her marriage of Novem ber 1 to James McNamara Jr. of Portland.

Its victories are counted in terms of pleased spectators, increased attendance, satisfied coaches and players. The development of G-E athletic-field floodlighting equipment was planned with ever)7 consideration for the fundamental and special playing conditions it must meet. That is why the big Novalux projectors give ample and evenly diffused light over the entire playing area. The development of General Electric floodlighting equipment has largely been the work of college-trained men in the G-E organization—other college trained men are largely responsible for the continuing leadership of General Electric in furnishing the many other products which bear the G-E monogram.
