TYPICAL LEE
TRACY FILM
At THE FOX
Good Story, Plenty
of Fun, in "The
NuisUnce.' -

Whether newspaper man, side show
ballyhoo agent or shyster lawyer. It is
apparently one and the same to Lee
Tracy, who portrays any Of these char
acteristic roles with an enthusiasm
that cannot be denied as being an in
tegral part of his personality. Today
he is that news hound, tomorrow the
ballyhoo man, but always Lee Tracy
in a film in which-you can depend
upon it-he Is just plain Lee Tracy.
THE Nuisance" now showing at the
Fox, Is a nonsensical, very amusing
filming of the tactics of shyster law
yers who chase ambulances for damage
cases. In 1t Mr.. Tracy becomes in
volved In just about all the civic codes
and ordinances a lawyer possibly could
and bounces right out of them again
in the same manner. Not. however,
before he becomes too much involved
in the doings Of pretty Madge Evans
These same doings. though at the same
time forming the turning point in his
career, nearly cost him his barrister's
license.
This film is tireless sort Of thing
in which Mr.. Tracy's wit and energies
are called upon constantly in digging
up loopholeS of the law to win these
damage cases over q traction company
against whose COUNSEL lie DthTS UcI
sonal grudge. One would not think there
could possibly be so many of these
little loopholes, but Tracy has them all
at his very fingertips. 1t Is only natur-
al that after finding love in the lady
who almost caused his downfall (Miss
Evans, this shyster lawyer should for
sake his more or less shady practices
and SO he does.
THE Nuisance" is not entirely all
nonsense, for a steadying. human in
fiuence is afforded by Frank Morgan
(whose fame as a character actor has
been rising by leaps and boundS) as
doddering, drunken old doctor, guilty
of aiding Tracy's shyster tricks. Mr.
Morgan's is q flawless characterization.
And for more fun (as If Tracy film

GOOD STORY
WE'LL ACTED
At PALACE
"When Ladies Meet
Is Good Cinema
Entertainment.

One of the best films of the current
year opened a weeks engagement at
the Palace yesterday. The picture.
When Ladies Meet" is so well done.
in fact, that many of those who viewed
its initial showing. judging bv the man.
ner in which they laughed and cried
with the principal characters, must
have fancied they were living the story
This CONTINGENCIES, which is one of
the cinemas most striking qualities, is
due to two things-superb acting by
most of the cast. plus the fact they
really have something about which to
act.
when Ladies Meet" Is far cry from
the namby- -pamby sort of films which
Hollywood foists upon the movie going
public all too often. There is nothing
elaborate about it, nothing calculated
to cause the press agents to break out
in the raShes of superlatives that have
endeared them to critics and fans alike.
1t is just simple little slice of life,
presented without any fancy trimmings,
but 1t is as refreshing as cold tub,
as convincing as beefsteak and onions
or, for that matter, anything that strikes
you as being the ultra-ultra in CON
vincingness."
The picture was adapted from Rachel
CrotherS' successful play. and it is every
bit as good as the original Miss Croth-
eH' clever, philosophical lines are still
there. and they are spoken by as capable
a staff of actors and actresses as you
are likely to come across in month S
tour of the Southern California studios.
The bright, particular stars are Rob-
ert Montgomery and Ann Harding-and
which is the brighter and more particu-
lar would be extremely difficult to say.
Montgomery. purely on the merits of
his performance in when Ladies Meet" "
should be listed as one of the most
capable young actors in the celluloid
colony. AS for Miss Harding, she
turns in one of the most satisfying
pieces Of work of her entire career-a
career incidentally. which has been
studded with successes.
Alice Brady, old-t time film favorite Of
the silent days, also has an important
role. That she gets away with it so well,
is due entirely to her ability as an act
ress, for the part certainly is not the
type for which she is best suited Even
so. however. it is good to see her back
in the cinema, and it is rather pleas
ant to look forward to seeing her apply
her unusual dramatic talent to some
thing more in keeping with her particu-
lar kind of histrionic ability.
No review of When Ladies Meet"
would be adequate without a word or
two OF praise for Myrna 10y. who has
one of the principal supporting roles.
Her performance is first-rate-one of
the best, in fact. that she has rendered,
possibly for the reason that her part in
this particular film Is the nearest thing
to genuine opportunity that she has
had
The program is rounded out by a
musical comedy in color. featuring an

NEW YORK. June 1o.-Suit to enjoin
the Chase National Bank from carrying
out sale, advertised for Monday after
noon, of collateral posted by Con-
tinental Shares, Inc, was begun in Fed
eral Court yesterday by a stockholder
of Continental shares.

asked that receiever be appointed to
take possession of the securities, which
include 1890 900 shares of various is
sues and notes for $33 500, 900, pending
the outcome of the litigation.
Patterson charges the securities were
deposited with the bank on October IL,
1890, at the direction Of Cyrus S. Eaton.
chairman OF the board of Continental
Shares. and that practically all Of the
proceeds were used for the benefit OF
Eaton. his wholly-owned Foreign Utili-
ties, Ltd, and Otis u Co., in which
he owned the largest interest"
Basing his allegations on informa-

attempting to sell the securities at this
time, when values are rising. is that
of securing the benefit either directly
or indirectly OF further increases in
value for Chase National or its NOM

wander off into the infinite with more
expression than hundreds OF the the
ater's best actors, all combined TO give
him a place which now is hauntlngly
vacant. In his case, as in the case
of people that are important to you,
YOU are not apt to catch his significance
until he is gone. You will perhaps
not have realized what a grand ola
actor he really was until you have
seen this final work Of his.
While Mr.. Terrence is meant to give
the stor-' its villainv, he also inJectS
into it ultimate pathos-and you get
through him some of the few and some
of the finest of Author Miller's thoughts
as expressed in his excellent book.
Claudette Colbert, lovely but too
reminiscent of Paris to catch the whole
meaning of the role of daughter OF
a sea captain, is sincere and earnest
and stirs up Mr.. Lyon when he seems
to be tagging. She it is who is respons-
ible for Mr.. Lyons expressions of af-
lection, and while she does not know
the smuggling racket that her father
is busy with. she defends him up to
the end and seems withal rather noble
II 'nprobab bic character.
The best of the film, however, is its
flow of action. The continual happen
ings that occur in it. The fights and
the fishes and the dead men who float
around in the water-and that rather
amusing scene in which Miss Colbert Is
strapped to an old Spanish torture post
and is made love to by her reporter
boy friend.

film it is recommended as good, strong
entertainment for the rougher sex

ever, it should cause you plenty OF

Co, which is bolstered nightly over the
air by The Purity Girl
Ginger Rogers, blonde, nicely built
ex-torch singer, and one-time Broad

on milktoast and cocoa. and who rebels
against the radio contract which forces
her to say nothing but honey words
over the air. Surrounded by undying
