( M'-n-aiK- tnlontetl vart and has all.
"Jlffdients that go to makei
up a successful picture. From reports
gleaned from the leading newspapers.
"Westward Passage" is by far the
finest Ann Harding vehicle that has
been ground out of the. RKO-Pathe
flicker factory this season. It has
to do with the compelling story of love
and matrimony, divorce and second
marriage. Miss Harding is ably sup
ported by Laurence Olivier as her
leading heart throbber. Ho is the
English matinee idol who was import
ed by the studio at much expense to
work in this particular production.
He will be well on his way to stardom
after the fans of this movie mad land
start expounding his sex appeal and
general ability.
Coming during a period when des
pondent citizens are turning to for
tune tellers, soothsayers and other
types of mystics for information con
cerning the end of the depression.
'Sinister Hands,' the new feature
picture on the nroeram of the State
theatre will undoubtedly prove of
interest to tne local movie patrons.
"Sinister Hands." produced by
Willis Kent Is a startling expose of
the manner of operation of these
vultures who roam the country prey
ing upon the minds of the ignorant
and gullible and thereby enrich
themselves to the trune of many
thousands of dollars.
If "Sinister Hands" did nothing
but servo as ft warning to our peo
ple not to patronize these fakers,
then it would have served an ad
mirable purpose. But it does more
than just educate. It provides a
complete hour of very interesting
entertainment with the exposure of
a quack fortune-teller ns the basis
of the story.
The producer has assembled an
extraordinary cast of picture head
liners to enact the leading roles in
this story of quackery, romnnee and
murder. Heading the list are Jack
Mulhall and Phyllis Barrineton and
closely following these stellar lights
are Helen Foster. Crau ford Kent.
Miwhn- Alter. Gertie Mcssinger. and
many others.

Monday at the Rex In "As You Desire Me." Lower right, a scene from "White Hell of Pitts Palu," which will be seen Sunday and Mon
day at the Colonial. .. . v
Gy parties and thrilling action 'in
city night clubs will be seen today in
"Crooner," which begins a three day
engagement abthe Heilig theatre Sun
day. David Manners and Ann Dvorak,
who made such nn excellent team as
the lovers in "Straneer in Town,"
will again be seen as thp lending play
ers in this picture. Manners, who
plays the title role. Is said to give
an excellent performance ns the
crooner who leaps to fame over night
and becomes so impressed with his
accidental success that he imagines
he Is a genius. Miss Dvorak gives
a fascinating performance as his col
lego sweetheart.
Ken Murrny, famous as a radio en
tertaiifr. proves to be just aa en
tertnining on the screen, as- a high
pressure publicity manager, while
Claire Dodd, a Broadway favorite,
sets the henrt aflutter ns a society
vamp. Cuy Kibbee contributes bar
rels of fun as a jovial drunk in a
night club.
The theme Is said to be a com
posito story of the lives of famous
crooners nnd tnkes a satirical jab at
the vanities of professional enter
tainers. It is guy and jazzy, n reve
lation of the wild hysteria of night
club life, although- it carries a ser
ious vein of delightful romance. It
abounds with humorous sequences and
exciting action, interspersed with
sparkling dinlogiip from the pen of
the well-known author nnd columnist,
Ilinn .lames.

The Fox McDonald announces
many entertaining features on its
program beginning today for the next

course, will be the screen feature
"Mlondie of the Follies" which brings
Marion Da vies and Robert Mont

It is the story of two New York

Nothing like this has ever been !

The story of the picture Is simple
