Stahl has been associated with great pictures "Magnificent Obsession." "Only Yesterday," "Back Street" and now ha adds another triumph to the already long list. The picture Is "When Tomorrow Comes," open ing a three-day run today at the Craterian theater. As a vehicle for his stare, Irene Dunne and Charles Boyer, stahl has selected an unusual problem story In "When Tomorrow Cornea." The adaptation provides a rich field for his directorial abilities and the act ing genius of Miss Dunne and Mr. Boyer. The result la one of the most powerfully dramatle offerings of the season.

Joan Blondell and Melvyn Douglas In Comedy At Rialto A htlsrlous conclusive proof that "Good Olrls Go to Paris" Is said to be provided by Joan Blondell and Melvyn Douglas In the new comedy hit by that title opening a three day run today at the New Blalto theater. Hailed as one of the gayest laugh romances of the season, "Good Olrls Go to Paris" la the second co-starring Centura of the comedy team which made last season's "There's Always a Woman" so de lightful. Ml Blondell Is seen In the new film as the prototype of many Amer ican girls. In that she wants to go to Paris. Miss Blondell, on the other hand, chooses a delightfully unor thodox method of attaining her am bition. 8he becomes a waitress In a college town tearoom, hoping to find a rich college lad whose father will provide the financial backing for her trip by "persuading" her to "forget" the boy. Unfortunately, in addition to this tendency toward gold-dlg-glng, the petite, pert waitress suf fers from a strong conscience which Prevents her from actually accept ing money In order to "forget." Douglas portrays an English ex change professor who Is slightly be wlldered at the frenzied activities of the American college, and com pletely dumbfounded at the un ashamedly predatory, albeit pleasant, ethics of the lovely waitress. It la his conniving to straighten the girl out and heln her a, tn d..,- good girl that highlights the entire wmcuy situation.
