Far from it, it is an act ual condition that physicians, psychologists and psychiatrists frequently hare to contend with in patients suffering from ner vous disorders. There is no doubt in the minds ' of physicians that the -moon's rays hare an effect upon tbe actions of such people. Precisely what ef fect, science does not know. "The idea of 'moon madness,' " said Dr. Thuddeua Bolton, famous scientist and head of the psychol jjoy department at Temple univer sity, Philadelphia, "is an- ancient hypothesis. It has long been ac cepted by psychiatrists, and is l.nown to have a serious effect on the minds of persons afflicted with nenrots disorders. "The theory," he explained, "s based an the observation of a natural condition among near-insane- and nervous persons. The - attacks of extreme nervousness usually occur at regular Intervals about 28 to 30 days apart. Co inciding as they do with the full moon, it has long been thought that the moon's rays are respon sible. "Even the word 'lunar,' which we use In referring to the moon, has grown into the language as lunacy, which proves that for many years the effect of the moon on nervous and insane persons was an accepted belief." The combination of mystery thrills, love and comedy, in the raind of Michael Curtis, the di rector, has made "Doctor X" the most extraordinary thriller he has ever known, with the comedy and love interest serving to relieve the terrific suspense with which the picture abounds. no DRAMA Ability to present crowds, mass movement and lavish back grounds on a large scale, has al ways been the screen's advantage over the physical limitations of the stage. A striking illustration of this all-encompassing mobility of the sound camera will be seen in "So ciety Girl," Fox romantic drama, co-featuring James Dunn, Peggy Shannon and Spencer Tracy, com ing today to the Hollywood the atre. - In an early sequence of the Home of 25c Talkies Today, Sunday & Monday Continuous Performance Today 3 to 11 P. 31.

This 'sequence , inciden tally, was filmed in "The Garden Of All Nations," a permanent "living stage" made up of grow ing plants, flowers and trees at Movietone City, a recent innova tion in screen production. Another gigantic setting from which an excellent idea of the importance of the production may be had, was the filming of a world's middleweight champion ship bout which comes at the dramatic climax of the picture. For this battle, which required three days and two nights to film, the Olympic auditorium, Los Angeles' largest fight arena was used. Thousands of spectators gave realism to Dunn's game try for the title. "Society Girl" relates the romance- between a ring hero and a pampered pet of society who thought love was one thing and marriage a matter of social and financial arrangement.

Judge. In his list of awards for this dis tinction Lorentz says: -.tor acting, there Isn't anyJ competition, as Miss Sidney, be cause of her work in "An Ameri can Tragedy,' need not have work ed in 'Street Scene' to have achieved our handsome, non-partisan, non-profitable award." Miss Sidney, who made her screen debut less than a year ago, recently signed a new Paramount contract which will continue her services with this company for a long period, the studio announces. Having recently completed the stellar role In "Ladies of the Big House," Mlsa Sidney and Chester Morris were selected as the lead ing players In Paramount's talk ing production of "The Miracle Man" which comes to the Grand theatre for three days, beginning today. The selection of Miss Sidney for the featured feminine role In "The Miracle Man" from among many available actresses of stellar mag nitude Is a distinct tribute to her ability, and is in recognition of her outstanding work in "An American Tragedy" and "Ladles of the Big House." Coming to Hollywood from the Broadway stage, where she scored In "Bad Girl," Miss Sidney was immediately successful In films. MRS.
