STRAND

Current attractions at Warmers Strand theater include Hell dorado" with Richard Arlen, Madge Evans, Stepin Fetchit and other favorites, also Barbara Stan wyck with Warren William in "The Secret Bride."
 Tomorrow brings ''Broadway Bill," Frank Capra's great produc- ton in which he has recaptured all the charm and whimsical romance seen in his last hit Tt Happened One Night" Particularly edifying are the splendid performances turned in by Warner Baxter aud Myrna Loy in the costarring roles. Baxter Is grand as the life-loving Dan Brooksi Miss Loy Is utterly delightful in a role more charnl- ing and colorful than her charac- terization in "The Thin Man."
 By this time b is evident that much of the success of Capra's 5 productions are definitely related to the sparkling scripts turned in by Robert Riskin, the man re- sponsible for the screen adaptation of Lady for a Day." and "It Hap pened One Night" in addition to Broadway Bill" The screen play Is based on a short story by Mark Hellinger, newspaper columnist. The large and imposing cast ac- quits itself admirably under Cap- ra's inspired direction. Walter Connolly turns in a grand flaw less portrayal; Helen Vinson Is superb as the social-climbing wife; Clarence Muse is his usual comic self, and Margaret Hamilton, Ray mond Waiburn. Lynne Overman, Frankie Darro and Edmund Breesc contribute to the films general ex- cellence. ..
