LOVE DRAMA IS
 STATE OFFERING
Kay Francis and Leslie Howard Paired in "Brit-
 ish Agent"

British Agent" screen adap- tation of R. H. Bruce Lockhart's $ internationally fam ous novel. comes to the screen of Warner Brothers State theater today for a four day engagement with beauti- full Kay Francis and Leslie Howard In the starring roles. In addition to being an absorbing love drama it is of momentous importance in it's picturization of one of the most colorful periods in the worlds his- tory.
 While set in the bloody and chaotic background of days and nights of terror when Cossacks rode down and slew mobs of men, women and children, and when Bolshevist bombs blew up palaces and embassies with their occu- pants, the dynamic story never deviates from the passionate love drama of the British Agent and beautiful and aristocratic Rus sian lady who has dedicated her life to the Red Cause. Here is a most unusual drama of love. with a man and woman hating each others ideals, and yet drawn together by an undying and un- quene hable passion.
 In it's taking climax, this woman of tremendous emotions, whose very being is torn between overpowering love and insatiate hatred, betrays her lover to the dreaded Cheka, Russia's secret po- lice, knowing their intention of blowing him to eternity with dyn- amite. And yet, so strong is her love, that she goes to him at the last moment to lie in his arms when the fatal bomb was to have been hurled.
 Leslie Howard, famous for his brilliant characterizations on the stage and screen of two conti- nents never gave a more power- full performance than as the Brit ish Agent. who knows the woman he loves is betraying him, and yet is unable to resist her charms. Kay Francis, with her brunette beauty is the embodiment of the fanatical Rus si an aristocrat whose love of her people so con- flicts with her personal, womanly passion. Miss Francis has given many fine interpretations on the screen but in none has she prob- ed the depths of a woman's heart as in British Agent"
 Others in the cast whose per- formances are worthy of note in- clude William Gargan, Cesar Ro- nero, Phillip Reed, Irving Pichel and J. Carroll Naish.
 In addition the management offers La Cucaracha" the new Technicolor featurette that is breaking records for return en- agreements everywhere it is shown. Both the song and the dance. which is interpreted to its strains, are exceedingly popular and the film recently played week en- gagement at Radio City Music Hall The usual high class short subjects. comedy, news, etc., is to be found on this program.

LOVE DRAMA TOPS
 CAMEO OFFERINGS
"The Lineup" Feature Picture on Double Bill
 Tomorrow

A tense and exciting screen drama of love and the law opens Sunday at the Cameo Theater un- der the title "The Line-Up." This Colummbia film is not the regular run of the mill gangster- under world story but rather concerns it. self with the growth of racketeer- ing as gigantic, and powerful social parasite.
 Featuring Marion Nixon and Will liam Gargan in the two mainleads, the picture, briefly, tells the story of the fun-snatching racket. Miss Nixon is seen as a check-room at- tendant in a large metropolitan hotel who is implicated in the rob- bery of a valuable fur coat en- trusted to her care. Gargan, as the detecteive assigned to the case, pre- vails upon his superior to free the girl in an attempt to apprehend the real criminals behind the rack ct.
 How Gargan finally succeeds in rounding up the ring, but only after a series of narrowing experi- ences, makes for gripping romantic drama

Joe B. Brown never wants to die on the screen again.
 Its dangerous business" he says. "Why, I almost died my way right out of Hollywood. I died in the first picture I made and evil dently did it too realistically, be- cause the first thing I knew death scenes were being written into all my pictures.
 That would have been all right except that I found they were kill ing me little earlier in each film. Instead of dying in the last reel I'd find I was being put away in the third or fourth. And you know where a thing like that can end."

ROAMING THE AIR WAVES

Things sometimes really do hap pen for the best. Take the case Of George O'Brien, the husky film star, and his director, Eddie Cline, who megaphoned ePeek's Bad Boy.'' These two screen luminhr- les were scheduled to appear be- fore the microphone during a brief Manhattan visit as the guests Of Kate Smith on her Matinee Hour" Through some misunder standing O'Brien and Cline each thought that the other fellow would prepare their five-rninute radio material. But when they ar. rived at the Columbia studios from different places, they found they hadn't an idea of what they were going to do on the air. The radio show already had passed the thirty-minute mark and the movie guests were scheduled to do their stint in ten minutes.
 So, while the Jack Miller band was playing medley, Kate got O'Brien and Cline into the control room for a nasty huddle. A skit was outlined-verbally. And when the film hero and the director were introduced. George lad libbed" while the other acted as his "an- noyer." Their five minutes was very funny--everyone said so. In fact, a prospective sponsor called to inquire about the comedy act". But since George and Eddie are leaving for London in few days to film picture, they couldn't talk business
 Previously, on the same program, Kate made her debut as a com edienne, and the usually serious David Ross displayed his versa tility as a comedian. They played opposite each other in humorous sketch.
