Strand Offering
 AdoIphs Menjou

Debonair Adoph MenJou has the starring role in "The Circus Queen Murder" and Greta Nissen the role of the ill-fated performer in the film of the same title which heads the strands double program to- day and tomorrow.
 The character Thatcher Colt Is New York police commissioner, wealthy, distinguished-loo Of fine family background and at the same time 6 practical, hard-head- ed police executive. There is noth- ing supercilious about Colt as there was, for example, in the Philo Vance characterization brought to the screen so entertainingly by William Powell in a series of ptc- lures. Vance and his screen pro- toypes, Powel and Basil Rathbone in one film and Walter Huston in another-solved baffiing mysteries by the uncanny process of induc- ton. Colt, on the contrary, solves h ipserplexing problems by what he terms Common .sense," plus intelligent police methods.
 The companion feature presents Bebe Daniel and Randolph Scott together with a supporting cast of popular names in "The Cocktail Hour" dramatic comedy romance. Tonight the Strand will hold anoth- CT gala auction bazaar.

Movie Notes
By DAN THOMAS MIA Carvioa WrlfOr

Hollywood-With an eye on the
 box office, Hollywood usually sets out to produce only pictures which will bring a large financial return. Hence, the more sensational the better.
 Occasionally, however, pro-
 ducer will decide to make some
 thing really fine, regardless of its
 box office draw. Usually such films
 turn out to be huge moneymakers.
 Berkeley Square" comes in this
 category.
 There have been several excel- I lent films made during the past
 year, and Berkeley Square" Is one
 of them. It is on a plane with
 Seventh Heaven"
 Leslie Towards Role Leslie Howard plays the same
 role which he enacted on the legit- | innate stage for year and half, and Is just as good. The story, in case you haven't seen or read the play, Is that of modern man suddenly transferred back into the eighteenth century without losing any of his knowledge of what has happened right up to the present time. Jesse Lasky took gamble when he started to produce this film. But he wanted to do something out standing. He did-and will make | money.
 Mae West Collects Speaking of making money re- minds me of the very humorous situation existing between Mae West and Paramount. When Mae signed her contract she didn't have very big screen name and thus did not receive one of those | typical movie salaries. However,
 she did get Q clause in her con okay all of her stories. Now she refuses to approve any but her own stories--and charges the studio her own price, thus bringing her income per picture up to a very respectable figure. For tunately Mae can write stories for herself better than anyone else. Otherwise both she and the studio might suffer.
 Show Within Show
 The other night Carmel Myers, now rehearsing for a play at the Pasadena Community Playhouse. invited Ann Harding to accompany her and coach her during the re- hearsal.
 Ann arrived with Carmel and the entire cast refused to do any rehearsing. They just sat around watching Ann instruct Carmel in her role.
 New Frankenstein
 News flashes from studio listen- ing posts:
 willy Fritsch. co-starred with Lillian Harvey in most of her European hits, may play opposite her in "Marionette." Sam Goldwyn Is securing the country looking for girls who have modelled for national advertising campaigns to appear in Eddie Can.. tors next picture. Fox plans to make 12 one-reel films showing the exploits of news reel cameramen this year. Boris Karloff soon will go into production on The Return of 'Frankenstein," with practically the entire cast of the original film
 being kept in this one.

The stock market has had a

to get back on its feet again.
Yesterdays crackup gave
traders a big jolt, and there
are few stocks now that aren't

It looks as though someone
sent word around to pools to lay
off.
At that, it will put some Of
the old time-testeo leaders with
natural markets in better light.
We understand some good buying
came into the rails on the break,
based on the sharp upturn in
traffic last week. It would seem
that most roads will do better
in December than was anticipated
some time ago.
ChartWise stocks still look
somewhat lower, but there are a
