 Setting and Star Cast

There's new ana exciting fare, served up amid the glitter and glamor of Palm Beach, for lovers of mystery and crime detection at the Coliseum Theatre, where Warner Bros production, Girl Missing" had it's premiere last evening.
 It is capitally stimulating yarn, opening in a mood of decep- tive lghtness upon the endeavors of a bald-headed sugar daddy to induce pretty young gold digger to forget that she is one, for an hour or so. But the pretty young gold-digger-one of two ad- venturous chorus-girls who have allowed themselves to be decoyed far from Broadways bright lights by their jolly host-manages to dodge the issue, only to find, the next morning, that their jolly host has dodged their hotel bill, just to teach them a lesson.
 But this isn't the real story of Girl Missing" at all The real story is developing just around the corner from them, so to speak, in the shape of a marriage rack ct" that is being perpetrated on a wealthy young bachelor. The girls stumble onto it by sheer ac- cident, but once they are in it, they become more and more com pletely entangled in it as the marriage racket moves toward its logical sequel of accidental mur- der.
