News of the Theatre “PIER 13” FEATURES BARI AND NOLAN— Beautiful and popular Lynn Bari has the leading featured role in “Pier 13,” 20th Century-Fox’s ex citing dr: ma with New York’s wat erfront as the background, plays Saturday at the Joy Theatre. Lloyd Nolan plays opposite her in a sur prise portrayal which has been call ed his best since his great hit in “Johnny Apollo.” MYRNA LOY PLAYS FASHION EDJTOR— Myrna Loy, chewing gum and ■.perking out of the side of her mouth with a tough accent! It doesn’t seem to make sense, but it does make a spectacle that elicits mirthful howls from audiences in “Third Finger, Left Hand” comical story of a marriage mixup, in which the screen’s “perfect wife” roughs up Melvyn Douglas, the man who made Garbo laugh. It’s one of the many comedy- packed situations in the new pic ture, which comes Sunday to the Joy Theatre. FILM THEME TENSE, BUT IT’S ONE BIG LAUGH— The story is a dramatic saga of the downfall of a young man, at first a moderate drinker, whose ever-increasing thirst brings him to the brink of ruin and leaves his sorrowing wife and child deserted and starving. Richard Cromwell, portraying the hero, is of course, led into this unfortunate condition through the temptings of a das tardly villian (Alan Mowbray), who seeks to bring about his ruin so that he may acquire his fortune. But the sinister forces of evil are strongly opposed by the hero’s staunch friend, who persuades a famous temperance worker to ad minister his “cure” and get the fallen hero to sign the pledge of abstinence.

The snow had to be spread over an extensive studio aet — a repro duction of an actual forest in Great Bear Lake, and a small village at the same location, where summer scenes had previously been shot.
