Edna May Oliver Is Star Of
Murder On a Honeymoon"

Based on the novel, THE Puzzle
of the Pepper Tree" a new film
Murder on a Honeymoon" is cur
rent at RKO Keith's. In adapt
ing the novel to the screen Holly
wood called in Robert Benchley
the result being a production
which is, though plenty of blood
is split, as much comedy at it is
mystery.
The characters portrayed by
Edna Oliver and Jimmie Gleason
have been so overdrawn and
played without the least sem"
blance of restraint, that We have
caricatures instead of real persons.
Also, to our mind, Jimmy Gleason,
as the New York detective lieu
tenant. plays pretty dumb, even
for detective!
All in all, however, this mixture
OF comedy, and almost slapstick
comedy at that, and murders
proves to be entertaining. The
story is packed with action and
even boasts few faint shudders.
The thing has all the concomi-
tant parts of the regular dyed-in-
the-wool mystery story and, of
course, the only possible way
you'll ever figure out who the
guilty person is, is to select the
one person who is most innocent
and furtherest removed from the
crime.
And even then you'll likely be
wrong.
The Oliver and Gleason talents
are supported by a capable and
well-known cast. The photography
is superb and some of the Ber-
mudan shots are beautiful indeed.
A number of short film sub
jects. including a good issue of
the newsreel, complete the pro-

 When the door had closed Dana wiped tears from her eyes. Why were people always prating about dowiness and shabbiness? She wouldn't believe she looked that way as long as her clothes were neat and well-pressed and she kept herself immediately groomed.
 Scott and Mrs. Cameron almost bumped into each other on the stair. Mrs. Cameron had come charging along with her head bent in one of her towering rageS. She spoke curtly.
 At the stair landing, she stopped and flung upward at him, her eyes cold and unforgiving: Dana seems to think being married is some ex- cuse for being 8 martyr. I wish you'd talk some sense into her."
 Scott fitted his key into the lock soberly.
