"Arrowsmith" by ; Sinclair
: Lewis Comes Today to
Elsinore Theatre ,
"'Arrowsmitli," the masterpiece
of, Sinclair Lewis, the only Amer
ican novelist ever to win a Nobel
Prize, comes as a motion picture
to Warner . Bros. Elsinore theater
.In! a rreat production by Samnel
Goldvyn with Ronald Colman
playins the title role of the cru
sading young doctor.
Metropolitan critics hare al
ready hailed "Arrowsmith" as one
of the most important pictures of
the year, and Sinclair Lewis him
self, alter witnessinf Its New
York premiere,- acknowledged - in
doing everything he had tried to
do la the book. The distinction
of its story, the importance of its
cast and the acclaim with which
it has been received combine to
make it a cinematic event..
Helen Hayes, "the stage star
who recently triumphed in her
first screen appearance in "The
Sin of Madelon Claudet." plays
opposite Konald Colmaji in the
role of tie devoted wife who
risks her life for her husband's
career. Richard Bennett, the
stormy petrel of the stage and
father of Constance. Joan and
Barbara Bennet. has a major role
as: Sondelius, the plague-fighting
- Swede, and A. . Anson, an emi
nent stage figure making his mo
tion picture debut, has another
rich character role.
Myrna Loy, Florence Britton,
Claude King, Alec B. Francis
take Important parts, and several
of 1 the minor roles are filled by
the same, galaxy of expert actors
who made every character in
Samuel Goldwyn'a "Street Scene"
an individual event.
The story of "Arrowsmith" is
the story of one man's devotion
and ambition la the battle of hu
manity against the death-deallag
plagues which have always been
the scourage of mankind. ' It
sweeps from the mid-western
countryside to a tropical island
In the West Indies, where young
Dr. Arrowsmith and his col
leagues go to battle -against the
, black death. His relations with
the little nurse he marries as a
struggling country doctor, con
tinning throughout the picture,
weave a road current of romance
through its stirring scenes.
VArrowsmlth" as a novel is ac
knowledged by most critics to be
the finest work of Sinclair Lewis,
its! author, who won a Pulitxer
Prize on publication, only to have
Mr; .Lewis -refuse to accept the
award v as not representing- his
. work. Last year his eminence as
an ) internationally important
writer was recognized by the
award of the Nobel Prise for lit
erature, the greatest such award
In the world, prerlously won by
no other American,
John Ford, who has been one
of tbe best-known directors in
motion pictures even since he did
"The Iron Horse," directed "Ar
rowsmith" for Samuel Goldwyn.
It was adapted from the novel by
Sidney Howard, the famous
dramatist and winner of a Pullt
ser. Prise several years ago with
his ! "They Knew What They
Wanted" as presented by the
Ktw York Theater Guild.

Cohens and Kelleys Coming
To Capitol Sunday; Noted
Team Appears Here Again
A partnership ot six years or a
series of five moving pictures
along the same line la nothing
new to George Sidney or to Char
lie Murray. More than any other
players on the screen oraa the
stage today they have exempli
fied team work.- Furthermore,
George Sidney has a remarkable
record for series successes.
There is ao parallel on tha
screen for tha "Cohens and Kel-
lys" feature pictures. There have
been series like "Tha Lone Wolf
"Sherlock Holmes' and the Ilka, 1
but they died out with tha second ;
or third picture. Tha "Cohens and
Kellys" combination will un
doubtedly live as Ions; as George
Sidney and Charlie Murray, for
Universal intends ta have a Co
hens and Kellys story oa its pro
gram as long as these two good
friends can make people laugh by
quarreling with each other.
Certain it is that tha latest of
the Cohens and Kellys series fts
tha best of all. It is entitled "The
Cohens and Kellys in Hollywood'
and comes from that film manu
facturing center. Universal City,
with Jhe plaudits and laughter of
preview audiences ringing in its
ears. It will be seen at . Warner
Bros. Capitol Sunday. It' Is the
sixth in the series.
Way back in 1910, George Sid
ney graduated from burlesque in
to musical comedy. Ha struck a
popular veia in "Busxy Ixsy," and
played it season after season, us
ing the "Busy lay" name but
changing tha book the xnusie, the
Jokes and the company. Later on,
he found a gold mine in the "Pot
ash and Perlmutter" stories and
a very successful team combina
tion with Louis Mann. The "Co
hen and Kelly" combination was
duck soup to George Sidney. It
fitted right in with his previous
experience on both scores.
Charlie Murray, too, has had
hi fling at a theatrical partner.
For twenty years he-was teamed
with Ollie Mack, until Murray and
Mack was one.ot tha by-words of
the stage and of vaudeville. Mur
ray graduated to the. screen a
great deal earlier than George
Sidney did. Charlie Murray, was

And with it all these two have
