Mowbray and Katherlne Alexander.
The dialogue la the fast, humor
ous, breezy type, carrying either
laugh or a dramatic wallop aa oiten
aa the plot will allow. It Is pro
duced by the studio that scored
such a bit with "Three Smart Ulna'
and It has the same happy appeal.
"Back In Circulation" Is adapted
from Adela Rogers St. Johns novel
"Angle Shooter," and atara at
O'Brien and Joan Blondell. The turn

Iratlon for both O'Brien and Miss
Blondell. Miss Blondell playa tne
part of a amart newspaper reporter
and O'Brien has the role of net
editor.
The etory of "Back In Circulation"

see ror themselves. Margaret Lind
