Wearin, Mrs. L. D. and daughter Robert Taylor Is Starred In Mac Main Feature Replete with action, laughs and line characterizations, "A Yank at Oxford,'1 now screening at the McDonald theatre, offers Robert Taylor his most convincing role to aaie. In presenting Taylor in the title role as the cocky all-star athlete who comes to Oxford to "teach the natives" and himself learns plenty in return, "A Yank at Ox ford" affords the star his great est opportunity, his flair for com edy and his ability to handle genuinely dramatic scenes. Lionel Barrymore, as Taylor's lamer, ana Maureen O Sulhvan, as the English ' undergraduate whom the hero meets at Oxford, lend their accustomed polished performances, while In the British players who also hava leadina- roies auaiences may note at least two potential stellar "finds" of tomorrow. Vivien Leigh, as the "other girl," reveals a flashing. yet, subtle personality which may well set a new style in "vamp comediennes." Griffith Jones, as the Briticher whose enmity for Taylor motivates much of the plot, looms as a most personable leading-man discovery, stalwart in appearance and sensitive in his performance. Going beyond the headlines for its thrilling theme, and behind the barricades of China's amazing city within a city for its teeming thrills, "International Settlement" timely story of today's danger zone, is also on the MacDonald program. Delores Del Rio, George Sanders, June Lang and Dick Baldwin are featured in the 20th Century-Fox picture. Powell And Rainer Starred In Hit Now At Mayflower William Powell and Lulse Rainer are co-starred in another dramatic adventure story of in ternational intrigue, in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's adaptation of Baroness Orczy's novel, "The Em peror's Candlesticks." which comes to the Mayflower theatre for the next three days. George Fitzmau rice directed. John Considine, Jr., produced. This romantic novel starts In Vienna after the kidnapping by socialists of Nicholas, last of the Czars, when he was a ma of twenty. Powell, as socialist who hates Russia, is commissioned to carry a message offering release of the Czarevitch In exchange for the release of socialist prisoners. I He hides his papers in one of a pair of candlesticks once used for this purpose by Marie Antoinette. Miss Rainer as a secret agent for the Russian police conceals p ipers in the other candlestick. Th story then revolves into an exciting race between these two for the candle sticks which are stolen by thieves who do r.ot know of the papers within them. rej'W'an" " ' &fwn ' lani .mi ,un.'.vWBtV' 1 ..,1'iwuiuuaw .yw-.,u'ui; JOE E.

Brown is back, and he has brought with him a rib-tickling story and a cast that does no end of good. Joe has dish ed out heaps of fun in his career, but rarely has ha been as gener ous with his helpings as he is in Columbian "Wide Open Faces," which takes its first local bow Sunday. As an amateur rube detective, Joe can get in plenty of trouble, and his current story finds him in just such a role. He gets mixed up with a wholesale shipment of metropolitan gangsters quite by accident, and in no time at all the situation is well out of hand. Such able and attractive per formers as Lyda Robert), Alison Skipworth, Jane Wyman, Alan Baxter, Luclen Llttlefield, Berton Churchill, Barbara Pepper and Sidney Toler do much to enhance the general merriment. It is a well stocked east. tta L. ( I 1 1 THE last picture made by the late Jean Harlow will be shown at the State theatre Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.

The wife is Carole Lombard, the husband Fred MacMurray; and John Barry more, co-starred with the roman tic team, plnys an eccentric dere lict who threatens to blackmail Miss Lombard. "True Confession" was directed by Wesley Ruggles. The excellent work which John Boles did in "Craig's Wife" is now reaping rich rewards for him. For it was because of this that ha was signed by Samuel Goldwyn for the leading male role in "Stella Dal las," which is the current attrac tion at the Rex theatre. Barbara Stanwyck is in the title role and featured in the cast are Anne Shirley, Al Shean, Alan Hnle and Barbara O'Neil, It was directed by King Vidor. The role of . Stephen Dallas which Boles plays is the one that first brought Ronald Colman to screen fame In 1925 when Gold wyn produced the silent version of "Stella Dallas." Big Double Feature Program Playing Now At State Laughs and tears, thrills and romance, mingle in "Saratoga," co-starring Clark Gable and Jean Harlow at the State theatre. A vivid story of the racetrack, with paddock intrigue, a great race, un usual characters, in which a deli cate romance is woven, the play is an ideal one for these particular stars. They hate, fight, and love through an action-packed drama in which much whimsical comedy leavens the heavier momenta. Dick Powell, Warner Bros.' handsome singing star, who was last seen here in the gorgeous "Gold Diggers of 1937" a few months ago, will appear again today on the screen at the State theatre In another Immense musical comedy, "The Singing Marine."
