AT THE EMBASSY

Will Rogers, friend and adviser of presid Tents, who has been entertained by the kings and queens of Europe, admired by millions of readers and radio listeners, a democratic, kindly, plain, modest and human personality who outdravs any star in all talking pictures, comes to the Embassy theater tomorrow in "Lightnin'," his third Fox Movietone success.
 Rogers was great in "They Had 10 See Paris" he was greater in So This is London" but he is said to be greatest in "Lightnin', adapted from John Golden's most successful stage play which has been brought up to date by the famous wit and humorist. who portrays the char acter of "Lightnin' Bill Jones'" the whimsical old tippler and pictur- esque liar.
 Supporting the star is cast of rare excellence, most prominent In which are the beloved Louise Ores ser, Helen Conan, youngest daughter of George NJ Conan, Joel McCrea. J. M kerrigan, sharon Lynn, Jason Robards. Ruth Warren. Joyce Comp ton, Goodee Montgomery. Frank Campeau and Charlotte Walker.

AT THE STRAND

You will be pardoned for poking your neighbor in the ribs, slap ping the back of the lady in front of you, or rolling in the aisle when you see Those Three French Girls now playing at the Strand theater with five acts of vaudeville.
 Indeed. we think the theater should provide aisle mattresses to protect themselves against lawsuits from injured patrons. This hilarious farce-comedy is by far the funniest picture to reach the talking screen. There is a laugh from star to finish and the film piles up riotous situa- tons so fast they develop into one prolonged round of gufraws.
 The cast is rounded out by Cliff ((Ukulele Ike) Edwards, Yola dAvril, sandra Ravel, Edward Brophy. George Grossmith and Peter Gawthorne, all splendidly cast and offering fine performances.
 The plot concerns the adventures of the wayvard nephew of blith- ering English lord in France. He meets up with three French girls and is joined in his escapades by two former Yankee doughboys. The plot reaches a screaming climax in a fashionable Parisian style salon and is finished by a wedding scene as unique as ever imagined.
 There is one song hit in the pro- duction, You're Simply Delish," which you are bound to like. It's different and tuneful.
