DOCTORS WIVES"
OPENS AT APOLLO

Doctors Wives" Fox Movietone
drama of marriage in the medical
profession, cofeaturing Warner Bax-
ter and Joan Bennett. opens at the

engagement.
Briefly the story concerns the
marriage Of a doctors daughter
with the most prominent young sur
geon in New York. The marriage
runs adrift on the waters Of jealousy
and suspicion when Joan Bennett,
as the idealistic wife, falls prey to
the saying common to doctors wives

enemy Of every doctors wife"
Following the discovery of an
other woman in her husbands con-
sultation rooms, Joan leaves home
and goes to that of DIR. Kane Ruy-
ter" played by Victor Varconi.
Realizing this is not what she want
ed, she assumes another name and
goes into training as nurse.
How she finally learns of her mis-
Judgment Of her husband, and to
believe in the greatness of his sac
riflce for humanitarian service,
completes the story which is en-
acted in a very realistic manner.
Frank Borzage directed the pic
ture which was adapted by Maurine
Watkins from the novel, Doctors
Wives" by Henry and Sylvia Lie
ferant. Helene Willard as "the
other woman" heads the supporting
cast which includes Paul Porcasi,
Nancy Gardner, John st. Polls and
Cecilia Lotus.
Vitaphone Varieties, ups and
Downs" and Horse Shoes" and Fox
Movietone News are included on the
program.

SUCCESSFUL FARCE
AT THE PALACE

Being funny at the cost Of black
eyel That was one of the many
painful experiences which Buster
Keaton underwent during the film
ing Of his latest comedy, "Parlor,
Bedroom and Bath" adapted from
the noted stage farce, and which
opens today at the Palace.
Those who saw the comedy when
1t was produced some twelve years
ago at the Republic theater, New
York, with Lowell Sherman, Flor
ence Moore, Francine Larrinaore and
Alan Dinehart in the leading roles,
recall that the plot brims with slap
stick incidents in which the prin-
clpals suffer all sorts Of indignities.
Keaton's calamity occurred dur
ing a scene in which he is depicted
as escaping from an irate husband
who has found Keaton and his
wife in hotel bedroom. Circum-
stances had brought number of
people in the room, including Cliff
Edwards as a nosey bellhop, Ed
ward Brophy as a house detective,
the long-legged Charlotte Green
wood as a newspaper woman, and
Joan Peers as the wife. When the
husband reveals a revolver, the
whole group is shown making for
the stairs, Keaton in the lead.
The comedian stumbles at the top
step which causes those behind him
to trip and the whole group comes
rolling down the tall staircase.
When they finally unscramble
themselves at the bottom, poor
Keaton received the black eye. The
scene had been rehearsed numerous
times and special precautions had
been taken to prevent accidents. But
according to Edward Sedgwick, who
directed the comedy, it is next to
impossible to gauge every step, and
in the fervor and excitement of
take the most unlikely nishaps
occur
Various other episodes of the
hilarious story make a goat" out of
Keaton, but inasmuch as they were
part Of the script, the comedian was
prepared for them.
Then there are scenes in which
Miss Greenwood pummels Keaton;
in which he serves as a punching
bag for the irate husband" in
which his car is wrecked and he
barely escapes being hit by a train.
So all in all, every time the audience
laughs at a Keaton episode you may
be sure the comedian has paid for it.
A large supporting cast plays in
"Parlor, Bedroom and Bath" Regin-
aid Denny has an important role
