 STRAND PROGRAM
"The Merry Hunks" on Same Bill Starting
 Tomorrow

Operator IS" starring Marion Davies, heads the new double fea- ture program opening at Warmers Strand theater tomorrow.
 It is gipping love story for which the Civil war serves only as a background. It is the story of an all-powerful love affair involving a beautiful woman spy of the Union army and a gallant spy of the Con- federate forces.
 As Gail Loveless, the federal spy who is sent into the southern lines to destroy the most dangerous spy of the confederacy, Miss Davies contributes her finest dramatic per formance of her eventful screen career.
 Gary Cooper, the southern spy equally surpasses all his former screen roles as the man whom Miss Davies sets out to destroy-and with whom she falls in love.
 The masterful direction of the picture was conducted by Richard Boleslavsky, former noted director and actor of the Moscow Art thea ter who has been responsible for such entertaining pictures as "Ras- putin and the Empress" and Men in White."
 The story is a story of spies, of espionage and intrigue, and throws a new historical light upon the most dramatic of all Americas conf1icts-the Civil war.
 Of comedy, there is plenty, sup piled by Ted Healy in the role of a spy masquerading as a medicine man. A secondary romance, one of the sweetest to be seen on the screen, is supplied by charming Jean Parker and Henry Wads- worth, juvenile newcomer to the screen.
 Too, the musical spirit of the old south has been ably captured and made vital part of the story with songs and music by the Four Mills Brothers of radio fame, by Miss Davies and by the old fashioned dances that have been revived for the production.

NO GREATER GLORY
 AT LYRIC SUNDAY
"She Learned About Sail= Ors," Starring Lew
 Ayres Also Listed

To theatergoers who are fed up on sex triangles, gang wars, racing thrillers, and other threadbare movie plots, it should be welcome news to hear that the Columbia production, "No Greater Glory" will be shown at the Lyric thea- ter Sunday and Monday.
 The screen story is based on Ferenc Molnar's novel, Paul Street Boys" It deals with a cross-section of life, which re- fleets the authors intimacy with the part of Budapest, Hungary, that is it's setting.
 Two rival bands of youths en- gage in a struggle to decide the possession of a city lot for a drill and playground. As primitive pas- sions get into control, the lot be- comes their sacred nation, and their self-inifcted sacrifices be- come patriotism of the highest order. The results are not what one could calculate on piece of paper, nor anticipate from know ing how conventional movies usual- ly end The author wrote what he saw and what he felt, and the motion picture production of his story has not fiinched from telling it straight.
 The co-feature is "She Learned About Sailors" starring Lew Ayres and Alice Faye.

REPUTABLE CAST
 IN POLL FEATURE
Jean Harlow and FranchOt Tone Starred in "The
 Girl From Missouri"

It is not a slap-stick comedy vel for one scene alone there is plenty of this brand of humor to suit anyone. The scene is in one of the hoity-hoity clubs at Palm Beach and here is what happened.
 Jean Harlow is seen wearing ons of Adrian's, Naugatucks shining contribution to the world of style most fashionable gowns, and Franchot Tone is supposed to riT it but over six of the gowns were destroyed before the directoi thought that it would be o. K.
 In retaliation, Miss Harlow was called upon to smear Franchot's spick and span tuxedo with choco- late ice-cream, this she did and five tuxedos was the toll before they had finished.
 The above are just few of the comedy situations in "The Girl From Missouri featuring the plati- mum menace of the screen and a supporting cast made up of Fran chot Tone, Lionel Barrymore, Lewis Stone, Nat Pendleton and last but no means least, Patsy Kelly and when she sees @ uni form there is no holding her.
 A story with cast like this has to be good and '"The Girl From Missouri" is just that. It is the tale of a young girl who is dis satisfied with her home conditions, poverty and standard not up tc her ideas and determines to set out to attain marriage of love, wealth and social standing, some thing always happens when she nearly reaches her goal and dramatic and comedy situation abound.
 This is easily the best of the Harlow pictures, you will like il better than "Red-Headed Woman or "Blonde Bombshell."
 In addition to the feature there will also be the usual high grade selection of shorts that have come to be associated with Polls, the best of the entire field, as Polls is the home of Mickey Mouse. They have the first run rights on this at- traction and they must play Polls before any other theater can show them.
 On this program the very latest Walt Disney Silly Symphony, The Flying Mousse" will be part ol the program.

NEA Service Staff Correspondent. Hollywood.-Grand opera can successfully and interestingly be put on the silver screen.
 Ever since introduction ofs the human voice in motion pictures, producers have toyed with the idea of using this medium to transfer grand opera to the screen. Up to the present, however, all attempts have proved futile.
 With single picture, "One Night of Love-" all that has been changed. In this film, Grace Moore, noted opera singer, Victor Schertzinger, and Columbia studio executives have combined their ef- forts to prove that grand opera can be put on the screen in such man. ner that it will be intensely enter taining to the masses.
 Featured by Miss Moore's sing ing, "One Night of Love" is one of the finest pictures l ever have seen. Above all, it's human and there is a reason for every note that is sung.
 Instead of being presented as a glorified opera star, Miss Moore Is just human being facing experi- ences which might befall any girl. The same holds true of Tullio Car minati. who plays the other lead ing role.
 "In my opinion, this picture will open new and vast field, not only for the film industry, but for grand | opera itself" the famous singer told me. Grand opera to-day is livng on tradition. Everything is being dne just as it was 50 or 10t years ago, instead of new and mod. ern ideas being introduced. | They are necessary if opera is to live and it is through the mov. ies that they will be found"
 
 Century of Progress
 Another great picture, and one which will delight censor boards as well as the public, is "The World Moves On." Covering a period from 1925 to the present, this film is so tremendous in its spirit that most persons will think about it for days after they have seen it.
 Containing all the power that made "Cavalcade" an outstanding hit, the picture graphically shows the progress of the world in more than century and does it in such way as to make everyone wonder where we are headed.
 '"The World Moves On" isn't ali history, however. Through it runs a beautiful romance carried by Madeline Carroll and Franchot Tone. Miss Carroll, imported from England especially for this film, is delightful. And Tone does the best work he yet has exhibited on the screen.
 Cagney Tones Down
 Passing on to another picture which comes under the new order in other words the type of pro- duction good for family entertain ment--we find Jimmy Cagney's S latest, "Here Comes the Navy"
 Despite the fact that he is an outstanding hero with kids all over the nation, most of Cagney's films have contained objectionable fea- lures. Not so this one, however.
 In the picture Jimmy is a tough guy who joins the navy simply to even a score with Pat O'Brien. Once there and learning that he has to take orders from O'Brien, more trouble ensues and Jimmy finds himself cut by nearly all his shipmates because of his attitude.
 Even being decorated for brav- cry fails to change him. Not until he is transferred from his ship to the dirigible Macon does he &C., quire the true navy spirit.
 It's good story, well told and

augmented by some extremely in- teresting scenes of the fleet during battle practice. It will be films of this type in which you will see Cagney in the future.
 He'll be hard boiled, sure, but there will be no more of the gang ster of rough on women stuff. Too Many Girls!
 Poor Lyle Talbot! If there's anything this young actor likes, it's variety of girl friends. But he found that sextet really didn't leave him the time necessary to his screen work. So he has had to cut his list of three-Sallie Blanc, Gail Patrick, and Billie Seward. Now, isn't that tough? Away From Pampernig
 Little Shirley Temple has been taken away on vacation - her first since she made her sen- sational hit before the cameras more than six months ago.
 Tt isn't so much that She has been overworked as it is that l want to get her away from the NoiitiIiueu pldiSlIlS anu peltlHS she receives from everyone" the child's mother declared just be- fore they departed for an isolat- ed mountain resort, where it is hoped Shirley can spend a month as a normal child instead of a pampered movie star. Although she is facing a pretty tough job, Shirley's mother is trying to keep her a normal youngster, despite the fact that | everyone in the studio caters tc her every whim.
 A Real Reel Mother Whenever you're speaking o1 movie mothers. don't overlook Rose Ma" Curley. In addition to playing mother roles on the screen for years, Mrs Curley in real life is the mother of 16 children. That why she is so good before the camera. No director has to tell her what to do.
 Sticks to Hollywood
 Although she may never be a glittering star again, Betty Blythe is going to stick close to the filb colony. And when she isn't acting, she'll write about the activities of others. After completing a role in "The Scarlet Letter" recently she enrolled for a course in journal ism at the University of Southern California.
