obligations assumed by the Shu-

the United States appro1imates
over $1.OOO.O00.
Established favorites in the mu-

regular act on the bill. the enter

When is Life Worth Living?" is
flashed on the screen at the Strand
Theater today and all week. where
the production is the major attrac-
tion of the vaudeville and picture
program. The office scenes. which
are among the important ones in the
story, will not be mere studio ar

order that realism might be carried
to the highest degree, Production
Manager Myron Selznick made ar
rangements to have the office scenes
filmed in one of New York's most
famous skyscrapers.
So that there would be no inter-
ference from outside sources the
scenes were shot on a Sunday, with
the star, Eugene O'BrIen, and other
members of the cast working under
the direction of Alan Crosland. The

called upon to furnish the proper
