William Powell and Myrna
Loy, long hailed as the screen's
most popular "Mr. and Mrs."
team, comes to the Craterian
Theatre starting today in "An
other Thin Man," third of the
scintillating detective series
which has swept the nation with
a shower of laughs.
Like its famous predecessors,
the story of "Another Thin
Man" combines a puzzling and
intriguing murder mystery with
the happy, gay and sometimes
hectic married life of Nick and
Nora Charles, the detective pair
whom Powell and Miss Loy
created so delightfully in the
first picture of the series.
The picture takes Nick and
Nora to New York for a holiday
trip and with them comes Asta.
the waggish wire-haired terrier,
who contributed so much mirth
to the first two pictures. Also
with them is a Thin Man, Jr.,
the new and very small son of
the Thin Man pair, played by
the baby screen find of the
year, eight-months-old William
Poulsen.
Once in New York, their holi
day plans are blasted when Col.
Burr MacFay, financial adviser
to Nora, is mysteriously slain
on his Long Island estate. Nick
takes a hand in the investiga
tion of the case and even Nora's
curiosity gets the better of her
and she attempts to help Nick
in his detecting. Between ex
changing characteristic "Thin
Man" banter with Nora, rescu
ing her from New York night
spot dives and overseeing a hi
larious baby party given in hon
or of Nickie, Jr., by his under
world friends, Nick deduces his
way to the killer and traps the
criminal in typical Nick Charles
fashion.
Others in the carefully selec
ted supporting cast include Vir
ginia Grey, Otto Kruger, C. Au
brey Smith, Ruth Hussey, Nat
Pendleton, Patric Knowles and
Tom Neal.
'Mr. Chips' Returns
To Rialto's Screen
by Popular Demand
Greer Garson, whose memor
able performance as Kathie op
posite Robert Donat in "Good
bye, Mr. Chips," made her the
most talked of screen newcomer
of the year, is starred with
handsome Robert Taylor in "Re
member?", romantic comedy of
married life which opens a
three day run today at the New
Rialto theatre. Lew Ayres (of
the popular Dr. Kildare series)

mantic triangle.
Taylor and Miss Garson have
been ideally teamed in "Remem
ber?" with roles perfectly suited
to their talents for fast-moving
comedy. As Jess Holland, Tay

advertising executive who falls
In love with beautiful Linda
Bronson "at sight" but becomes
too wrapped up in his job after
their whirlwind marriage to

One of the brightest spots of
"Destry Rides Again", which
comes to the Craterian Theatre
for a four day run Wednesday,
shows James Stewart, Marlene
Dietrich and Una Merkel in a
good old-fashioned hair-pulling
and eye-gouging brawl. In the
part that made her a favorite
on the London stage before her
triumphant success in "Mr.
Chips." Third member of a gay
romantic threesome is Lew
Ayres as Sky Ames, who has
Linda stolen from him by his
old college pal, Jeff, and then
comes to the rescue when they
get into a matrimonial muddle.
The story has a warmly hu
man and serious theme running
through it, offering proof that
no matter how many difficul
ties marriage may entail, two
people really in love would go
back and do it all over again
if they had the chance. By an
exciting and unusual interweav
ing of plot Jeff and Linda get
this chance and make the most
of it.
Billie Burke, Reginald Owen,
George Barbier, Henry Travers,
Laura Hope Crews, Sara Hadep
(of the Hardy Family) and Sig
Rumann head the large sup
porting cast of "Remember?"
"Three Sons," starring Ed
ward Ellis, the grand star of
"Man To Remember," plays as

has met with sufficient success
to enable her to guarantee that
the widows' situation in Cali

"Since the club wbs founded,"
she said,- "it has received more
than one million letters from
persons seeking companionship."
She herself, she explained,
had received more than 32,000
proposals for marriage, but
these were all perfume wasted
on the desert air, as she has
been happily married to a steel
company official for the past
30 years.
Through her organization, she
said, more than 1,000 happy
marriages have been arranged.
Mrs. Stull believes In remar
