BEER PICTURE
 AT THE PALACE

Buster keaton and Jimmy Du- rante turn the laugh on the beer question in their new comedy, What! No Beer which opened yesterday at the Palace theater.
 Between them these comics turn per cent beer into 100 per cent laughs in their newest Metro-Gold- wyn- Mayer starring vehicle. First they take over the operation of a brewery, then find themselves caught between the fire of warning beer-running gangs battling for control of their output. And when the gangsters are not hunting them down, the police are.
 The picture is brimful of both comedy and suspense. and Is all the more interesting in that 1t deals even though humorousiy with q question which has the whole country and congress lined up on one or the other side.
 An Excellent Cast
 Keaton and Durante were never funnier, and are ably seconded by the stuttering Rosco Ates, who if their brewmaster. John Milan and Edward Brophy provide plenty Of menace as the rival beer barons
 Ine necessary roIiaHce is WciI supplied by the presence In the leading feminine role of Phyllis Barry, last seen on the screen with Ronald Colman in "Cynara."
 Others in the cast who merit mention are Harry Armetta Charles Dunbar and Charles Gib- lyn. Edward Sedgwlck, who di- rectcd tho previous Keaton- Du- rante comedies, is again respon- sible for a job well done. The pro- duction IS q pretentious one, and Scdgwicls has managed to vary the interest between comedy and sus- penseful drama with nice judg- ment,

STATE PRESENTS
 GEORGE ARLISS

A method quite different to that of other pictures was used in mak- ing "The Kings Vacation" George Arliss' latest hit for Warner Bros now at the State where it opened on Saturday last following q record breaking engagement q Radio City in New York.
 Almost invariably in the ordln- ary production, the leading play CTS arc given scripts and simply told to report at q certain time on given day. The picture Is im- mediately put into produc ion, the rehearsals being made on the floor, scene by scene, as they are taken. The players of "blt" parts arc not even furnished with scripts but are given their lines on the spot by the scrip girl or director. Ere inkling of what the story as q whole Is about.
 Not so in making an Arllss pie turc. The star calls everyone, down 10 the least important player, into conference ten days to two weeks before the picture is scheduled to start. The play Is first read and q general discussion takes place on the chnra cterIzations and tho mo- tivatlon of the story. Every mem Der of the cast must be thorough ly familiar with these details and have committed his lines to mem- ory before anything else is done.
 The company then goes into re- hearsal developing the plot from the opening scene clear through to tho end. much in the same way that t play is rehcarsel for inc stage. Not until all members Of tho cast are letter perfect with the entire screen play does production start on the studio stages.
 While considerable more time is taken up in rehearsal by this method, this Is offset by the rapid lty Of action on the stages, the players being ready to go Into their scenes with little prellmin- aries.
 "The Kings Vacation" is n de- lightful modern comedy In which MT Arliss steps down from the throne to enjoy much needed va- cation. There are also dramatic sequences, n pleasing romance and many spectacular scenes.

EXOTIC BALI IS
 STRAND FEATURE

"Goono- -Goona" sensational love story of the tropics with an all native cast, played to capacity au- diences at Warmers Strand yester- day where 1t began n three day engagement. This new and utterly different film was produced entirely on the far away island of Bali where women are women.
 In fact, weary travellers return ing, and they dislike leaving this last paradise on earth, say the wo- men of Bali are the most beauti- ful and graceful in the world hair, eyes, legs and all those sin uous charms a lowly reviewer only reads about.
 There's other scenery on Ball, too, rice fields lined with palms, pretty towns, tropical jungles and even high mountains, for Bali has one peak that scars more than 10,- 900 feet skyward, and the entire island has an area of but 22,243 square miles as the crow flies. Soft breezes there fan half-clad bodies, for the Balinese wear few clothes until q ceremony of some kind comes along and then they cover up. just reversing the American social procedure.
 So Bali is worthy of going afar for as dramatic setting. And "Goona- Goona," they say, has all! the natural appeal of the virgin is- land and considerable of its sex appeal. The story itself is n dram atic-legend. Enacted by native cast 1t has been based .on love yarn handed down through genera tlons-thc one about the prince who wooed the financee of q ser want. The prince IS aided and a. betted by his sister who, following tho advice of counsel, a sorceror of the Balinese mountains, put goona- -goona into the food of the maiden. A love powder is danger ous even in Bali, so the story thunders along with plenty of na- tive action thrown against the jungle back ground forever bath ed in azure skies. AS we started to say, it's hot.
 The companion feature is That's My Boy" with Richard Cromwell, Mac Marsh and Dorothy Jordan. Wednesday and Thursday the pro- gram will include Madame But terny" and Slightly Married" while on Friday and Saturday at both matinee and evening perfor- mances in addition to the regular screen program the strand will present, on the stage, the strand I'ollies of 1883 and "rhe Wedding of Tom Thumb" with cast of more than 100 talented entertain CTS Strand regular admission prices will prevail matinee 10c and 15c evenings 15c and 25c children 10 cents.

Hollywood.-How'd you like to call Jean Harlow and invite her out to dinner tonight? Sounds like good idea-or doesn't it? Do
 hear you ask, What would it | cost?"
 Well. these girls around movie land don't believe those dietitians
 who show that a person can eat for 8 1-2 cents a day, or something like that. Why, Joan Crawford E
 breakfast amounts to a matter of 15 cents and as for the platinum blond's dinner-shoot the roll! It l would set you back a full $1.25.
 TAKE JEAN TO BREAKFAST For breakfast Jean Harlow usu- ally has glass of fruit juice. toast and coffee-total cost 20 cents. When she isn't working (here's your chance, Scotty), her lunch consists of an extra large glass of l buttermilk, toasted crackers and fruit. When she's working, she eats more, possibly 30 cents worth. But she always eats full course dinner, straight through from soup to nuts, usually including a rich dessert. And that, sirs, can be bought in these parts in these times for $1.25.
 Norma to Lunch
 Maybe you'd rather buy groceries for Norma Shearer. There's q girl doesn't even know the meaning of the word "diet." Norma starts the day By eating a breakfast consist ing of a glass of fruit juice, two soft boiled eggs, toast and jam and a cup of coffee with both sugar and | cream. A bad start, my lads, 40 cents just wrecked.
 For her lunch she always has a small glass of tomato juice, salad. a cup of clear soup. meat of some
 kind, two vegetables and q fruit
 dessert-60 cents, whoa there! And at dinner, worse luck, she dives
 into one of those $1.25 full course | dinners.
 And Joan to Dinner
 From strictly economical
 standpoint, consider Joan Craw-
 ford. Several years ago she resolv- cd to have slender figure at any
 cost. And she has it-at a mini- | mum cost.
 Joan's breakfast consists of noth- | ing but glass of fruit juice and n cup of coffee. Easy, 15 cents. For lunch she usually eats green vegetable salad and cup of tea. Thirty cents but still all right. Her dinners arc heavier, consist ing of a clear soup, meat, two vege- tables, n small salad and some fruit. She never eats bread, but ter, potatoes or sweet desserts ex- cept that about twice week she does succumb to the lure of ice cream. And the average cost of her dinners is a dollar. But Beware.
 Of course, if you'd be satisfied to take mere extra girl out to dinner-well, then, you'd better mortgage the old homestead. Those poor girls are eating so irregula larly these days that when they're in- vited out they simply order every thing on the menu. figuring to store
 away enough to keep them going
 for two or three days.
