Lady of the Tropics" U
Newest Story for nevr
Talked-of Star
' Robert . Taylor 'and Hedy La
marr, the most talked-about wom
la in motion pictures today,. arrive
as the newest and most fascinat
ing romantic team of the screen
in "Lady of the Tropics," opening
today at the Elsinore theatre. !
The setting of the story, writ
ten especially for the new team
by Ben Hecht, takes place in the
heart of the Orient, where -wanderers
of all races, irrespective of
caste, meet and mingle, seek lore
and sometimes die. As the lore be
tween Taylor and 'Miss Lamarr
progresses, it takes them to the
colorful harbor ot Saigon, the
!'Parla of the East," along its
teaming river docks, into the In
teresting quarters ot the natives.
their cafes and shops.
' Settings Faithful
Settings faithful to the country
also include the more fashionable
cafes, hotels and gorernment
buildings , . where mixed society
meets, from whence the Interest
the two leading characters hold
for each other ripens within the
mystifying rains of the great enig
matic temple of Angkor Wat,
shrine of a forgotten race only re
cently torn out of the Jangle by
French explorers. - .
Taylor plays young Bill Carey,
penniless American, who meets
and falls in love with Manon, a
beautiful half-caste, portrayed by
Miss Lamarr, whose dream is to
flee from Indo-China where no
race' recognizes her, and become
a white woman.

Joseph JSchildkraut. Hedy lamarr and Robert Taylor in "Lady of the Tropics', starting today at the
Elsinore theatre. The second film Is Bert Wheeler and Marie Wilson la "Cowboy Quarterback. ,
Huckleberry Finn," sequel to
'Tom Sawyer," now playing at
the Hollywood theatre.
The picture has caught the full
flavor of Twain's whimsical -humor
and deep understanding of
human kind. The adventures ot
the river boy who' aids a runaway
slave In an attempt to reach a
free state; their travels up the
river on a raft; their adventures
with the rascally "King' and
"Duke," a pair of crooks, are all
faithfully portrayed under the
deft direction ot Richard Thorpe.
The ranking comedy highlight
is the absurd "Romeo and Juliet"
performance with Walter Connolly
as Romeo and Mickey, in girl's
clothes and make-up, as Juliet.
Dramatic highlights are his ex
posure of the crooks to save Lynne
Carver and Jo Ann Sayers, playing
heiresses, from being robbed, and
the sequence where Rex Ingram,
as the slave, carries the boy, bit
ten by a snake, back to medical
aid, knowing it means his return
to slavery.
The scenes, filmed on location
along the Sacramento river, are
beautifully picturesque. The pic
ture follows the book with abso
lute fidelity.

Wonder how many Hollywood
actors would agree with Richard
Greene? He soys his clothes cost
him only $400 a year and that a
masculine player ought to be able
to get by on a $800 budget. Greene
pays $60 top for suits, he says,
and has three that cost him only
$40. He uses his personal ward
robe on the screen but has one
break. . .. If anything is called
for that he doesn't already have,
the studio pays for It.

Anti-Jewish Riot
BRATISLAVA, Slovakia, Aug.
12-(53)-A crowd of youths, for the
second successive night, staged
anti-Jewish demonstrations here
tonight, beating up in the streets
everyone they encountered who
resembled a Jew.
The mob activities followed an
attack last night on two syna

in public cafes. Police reinforce
ments were placed on duty in Bra
tislava's ghetto following these
demonstrations.
Tonight the youths rushed
through the streets and forced
their way into a Jewish club where
they smashed furniture and man
handled guests. Jews were driven
into the streets from several cafes.
Police finally appeared and dis
persed the mob. .

Tuneful Thrills Booked,
"Broadway Serenade"
Opening Today
Packed with musical, romantic
and eye-filling thrills, "Broadway
Serenade," starring Jeanette Mac
Donald opens today at the State
theatre.
Unlike most films in the musi
cal category, this one contains a
story which holds Interest from
the first scene until the fadeout.
In brief, it is the tale of a young
married conple, she a singer, he &
composer-pianist. As a team they
play most ot New York's cheap
night clubs until a Iuc!-y break
starts the girl climbing high , on
the ladder of musical-comedy suc
cess. The boy is left behind to bat
tle for recognition as a composer
and to master- the Jealousy which
eventually breaks - up the marri
age. The story moves In two ex
tremes of locale, the glittering
show-world of which the girl be
comes a pat and the garret-room
where her husband is struggling
to bring himself a success ot
which she may be proud. '
Seldom has Jeanette MacDonald
had a better opportunity for both
her dramatic and vocal abilities.
For the first time since "San
Francisco" she carries the vocal
honors singly. Her songs have
been wisely selected to please di
versified iences. There are fa
vorites of the Gay Nineties, grand
opera selections, and a dash of the
day's hit tunes.
Lew Ayres. as Miss MacDonald's
composer - pianist husband, gets
his best role to date. He is Ideal
ly suited for the part and turns ia
an outstanding performance.

Unusual Story Unfolded in
