MO N TCOMERY'S PLAY IS DELIGHT TO HOUSEWIVES
The Man in Possession Previews at Capitol
 Saturday Night

Housewives who have faced the problem of keeping dinner warm for company should sympathize with the task of the property man who was responsible for the serv- ing of a fuI-course meal to four people ten times a day for three days during the filming of "The Man In Possession in which Rob ert Montgomery is starred by Met TO- Goldwyn-Mayer.
 The dinner scenes, one of the most hilarious in the picturization of the H. M. Harwood play, which will be shown at an after-dance preview Saturday night at the Cap itol theatre and at afternoon mati- nee and evening performances Sun day, had to be screened from many different angles and in numerous cuts by Director Sam Wood.
 Couldn't Be Different
 And in every "takep the food had to be just exactly the same as it was in the preceding shot, the din- ner consisting of a consomme, salad, roast beef, English style) and dessert. Robert Montgomery, impersonating a butler, had to do all the serving
 Steam Table On Set
 To keep the food warm and ready for each scene, the property man installed a steam table on the set and placed the roast and other hot dishes in the receptacle after every take" Wear and tear on the huge cut of beef, however, rendered 1t unfit for further duty after being carved upon by Montgomery for only two scenes. Hurry calls to the studio cornmissary brought out three other roasts prepared in the big kitchens for possible emergen- cies sf
 New Vegetables Needed
 The vegetables had to be replaced by fresh dishes frequently, but the property man reported greatest casualty to individual servings of salted nuts which strangely van ished after every grinding of the camera.

 One of the big film thrills of all times has the opening of Red Sea in The Ten Commandments Maybe Paramount Is counting on this to help interest the public in the projected talkie version. AS Cecil M. De Mile is leaving for New York shortly with his Russian plays, it appears he will not be connected with the project. Leo Birensky, who had hand in the writing of ''Mata Hari,'' is working on an up-to-date treatment of the idea, with Dudley Nichols scheduled to co-direct. So far, there isn't a tentative cast.

oTOUS FARCE. |IS HEADLINER ON. CAPITOL SCREEN.
Caught Plastered" Begins Tonight with Wheel
 CT and Woolsey

In a gay carnival of laughs, Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey. sup ported by the dirninutive Dorothy Lee, appear on the screen of the Capitol theatre tonight. "Cauglls Plastered" is the name of their hilarious comedy.
 Douglas MacLean, who wrote the original story, conceived the action and supervised the production.
 After MacLean's retirement from the screen several years ago, he was lost to view for while, until Cracked Nuts" Radio Pictures yihicle for Wheeler and Woolsey, blazoned its title sheet across the sky, with MacLean as co-author and supervisor. @
 Sat Back And Studied
 The former comedian simply sat back and studied, soaked up pro- duction knowledge, and delved into audience appeal, all with the idea of specializing in the writing and production of comedies that would supply the utmost screen entertain ment.
 Judging from Caught Plastered, , he has hit the spot.
 If his formula is followed, future comedies will adhere more closely to dramatic plot, heart-interest and situation. ~
 Not Of Pun Variety
 The dialogue in MacLean's pro- duction, written by Ralph Spence, is emphatically not of the pun variety The laughs, rather, come from the high humor of ludicrous, thrilling or dramatic situations.
 In other words, Caught Plas- tered" is the product of study and labor, the careful analysis of real story for comedy values.
 Besides the batter of woolsey, the whimsical humor of Wheeler and the charm of Miss Lee, the production has worthwhile theme.

Story Discovered


 Like contract players who go un- heralded on their own lots until some other studio seeks to borrow chem, a story written two years ago by Robert Lord, and since disre- garded by the studio which bought it, is coming to the screen. Fay Garnett, director, heard of the story and sought to buy it for in- dependent production.
 The studio looked it over, de- cided to keep it for itself and en- gagged Garnett to direct. It's called IS. s. Atlantic" and is one of the new one-locale dramas in vogue now.

 Evidently the studio thinks so, for he is to have his third role in quick succession in the Joan Blon- dell picture, Miss Pinkerton." In the meantime, he has to do final scenes opposite Ruth Chatterton. And Ruth is telling the world he is the best leading man she has ever had.
 Brent is 27 years old and was born in Dublin. As a youngster, he was junior player at the fa- nous Abbey Theatre there. Later, he became mixed up in the revolu- ton and had to leave Ireland.
 In this country, the young actor has operated several stock com panies and has played minor roles on Broadway. He came to Holly wood on his own and managed to get Warmers to test him. He is brunette and is six feet and one inch tall.

CAPITOL OFFERS ! TW0-PLAY BILL
 i FOR TOMORROW
Helen Hayes Drama ano Laurel and Hardy Com
 edy Are Headliners

' What virtually amounts to double bill will headline the ney program to be presented Sunda, at the Capitol theatre. The Sir of Madelon Claudet," starring FIel en Hayes with a strong support ing cast, and Beau Hunks" ( four-reel comedy, with Stan Lau rel and Oliver Hardy as the fun. makers, are the featured enter. tainments.
 1 In "The Sin of Madelon Clau- dette," the plot concerns the career of the girl from the time 'sht elopes with an artist against the wishes of her family through the vicissitudes of her life, in which she is thrown into prison and is subsequently, forced to adopt the most shameful means of liveli- hood in order to support her child.
 Points of Interest High points of dramatic interest occur in the scenes in which the father of Madelon attempts to CO., cree her into a marriage with a person whom she despises; her escape from home with Larry, a young artist; the forced departure of Larry for America; the meeting of Medelon and Boretti, in which the ugly duckling becomes a swan. Film Has Strong Climax The striking climax occurs in the episode in which Boretti, re- vealed as a thief, commits suicide and Madelon, unjustly indicted as his accomplice, is sent to prison. Following her release. the state refuses to return her son to a "jailoird". The remainder of the story concerns Madelon's heroic efforts to prevent her past from marring5 her sons career.
 The supporting cast includes Lewis Stone, Neil Hamilton, Robert Young, Cliff Edwards, Jean Her sholt, Marie Provost, Karen Morley and others.
 In Foreign Legion
 Beau Hunks" depicts Laurel and Hardy as rockies in the French Foreign Legion.
 
 The highlght of the picture is the attack of the Riffian tribes. upon the Legion stronghold during which Laurel and Hardy in their own quaint way prove themselves to be the most redoubtable of de-. lenders. Their capture of the, "Riff-raff' chieftain, is a notable event. --ss,,-.
