"STORY This sprightly comedy from the play of the""" same name by Clare Booth is all about the fix women can get in over a man. There isn't a man in it, except one shadow. The story flits from elaborate beauty shops in Manhattan and luxurious apartments to a dude ranch on the outskirts of Reno, where the epic woman fight of all ages takes place. Norma Shearer is cast as a hurt and humiliated wife ready and willing to fight other women with their own wea pons. Joan Crawford takes the "heavy" role while Rosalind Rus sell is cast a cossin who starts all the trouble in the first place. SUPPORTING CAST Mary Boland, Paulette Goddard, Virginia -Wiedler and others ALSO BILLED "March of Time," presenting "The Battle Fleets of England," parts of which were still being filmed when war was de clared Cockney Singing Ends Dull Spots In Cinema Scene HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 14.-(tfV Things were too dull. Director George Stevens decided, in a "Vig il in the Night" scene which showed survivors of a British bus wreck on the verge of rescue. 'You!" and he singled out an extra, "you're an Englishman. What would one do in a situation like this?" 'He'd probably hum off a bit of song, sir," was the reply. "Keep his courage up, y'know." 'Do you know such a song?" 'Yes, sir," eagerly, "just the I right one for the occasion." And the extra started off, in a high pitched cockney voice: 'Don't throw bricks at your mo ther, Or else you'll wish you were dead. Don't throw bricks at your mo ther, Throw stones at your father in stead." That ended the dullness. State ."Maisie" FEATURED PLAYERS Ann Sothern, Robert Young. STORY Based on the romance of a honky-tonk chorus girl and ranch mantger who Is starting life over again .after being sent to orison for a crime he did not commit, "Maisie" is laid in a western locale, but is hardly a "horse opera." Maisie is stranded in Big Horn, Wyoming, when the manager of her show company disap pears with the funds. She gets a Job with a carnival, is arrested for stealing the watch of a ranch manager, one Slim Martin, and then sets out to square herself with Slim. So anything can hap pen. So anything does.

ABOUT IT The story is a classic by now and its greatest recommen dation is that iff been banned in Gvrmany since Hitler came to power. Made timely by tht. war in Europe, this old timer has been dressed up with some commentary and sequences-which were left out of previous version r for fear of offending the Germans. COMPANION FEATURE Roy Rogers and George "Gabby" Hayes in The Ariion KIo." Hollywood "Dark Rapture" ABOUT TT Arn.and Denis and his wife. Leila Roosevelt, who are now deep in Tibet 'taking n ore pictures, filmed this unusual Pic- tare on a 42,000 mile trek into portions of the Congo which had ' never before been reached by white men. Far from the usual trav elogue this full length feature has exciting sequences all the way through and they suffer not at all frtm the fact that they are re . eordings ot actual happenings in the Jungle.. Among the sequences are the capture and breaking of wild elephants, mysterious man hood rites, dancing by men of a tribe who are all seven feet tall and the usual pygmy shots. It's worth seeing. - WITH XT "The Hardys Ride High" with Lewis Stone, Mickey Roo- - ney and the rest - 4H Clubs Started At Turner School TURNER Fimt 4-H clubs of the year were organized last week.

Bickford Has Gold in View Real Stuff, too, and not Kind Found in Checks of Screen Stars HOLLYWOOD, 'Oct. li(JPy- When and if. Charles Bickford finds ' a diminishing supply of movie gold he can continue eat ing regularly with the aid of the lreal variety. Bickford, an ex-civil engineer and one of the busiest of the mo vie ."heavies," Is president of two companies owning and operating processing system to recover fine gold from black sand and me-tal-bearinc concentrates w h ic h miners usually discard. But first off, he is not trying to sell stock. He thinks it's such a good thing he's not interested in letting anybody else in on it. Let him explain: "Ten years ago I was. approach ed with a plan .for a process to recover the fine gold that's left when the refiners finish with the gold-bearing ore and gravel. "I'd heard of thousands ox sucn plans the patent office is clut tered up with them, but the best recover up to 50 per cent. This sounded practical, however, so I put in a little money. Alter live - . . A V A. years, we periectea k bo inai we could recover 99 per cent pius, sometimes so microscopic that it floats on water. But no matter how thin you cut It, it's still gold." Bickford and his associates buy waste sand and gravel or work it on a percentage basis. "For the last five years," says 4t" we've been recovering II 000 to $1500 a ton. That's not doing badly." Bickford plans "to go down to South America and set up a con tact mill in the center of gold mining operations. But not permanently. "I don't expect to give up pic ture work. That's my profession and if all the gold in the world fell into my lap I'd still go on acting." Well, he sounded sincere. sir ' r J': V 1 V."- & M ly?
