QUEEN
At least half a dozen players,
comparatively new to the picture
loving public, achieved sudden fame
and prominence in Howard Hughes
United Artists picture, "Scarface, I"
said to be the last word In gang
land films. IN fact. 1t Is said no
production since The Miracle Man"
has established 50 many players.
The title role IN "Scarface," show
ing wednesday and Thursday at
the Queen Theatre. Brownsville. is
played by Paul Mum. a Broadway
stage star, who quit the screen two
years ago after making two pictures
for Fox Film Corporation.
Ann Dvorak, a girl who for three
years was on the payroll Of a ma
ior studio without receiving a single
chance to display her talents. was
given the outstanding feminine role
and her performance was a sensa-
ton. Today she Is sought by every
producer in Hollywood for leading
parts. although her role in Scar
face" was her first.

RIVOLI, SAN BENITO
Vying with the buffoonery of
Laurel and Hardy in their new
full-length fun feature, Bonnie
Scotland" now showing at the
Rtvoli Theatre, is a delightful TO-
nance which Is threaded through
out the story. Featured In these
love sequences are juno Lang ano
william Janney, the former IN the
role Of a Scotch laSsie who .aherits
a fortune and Janney as a poor
law clerk. SO perfectly Is the o
Lance and the hilarious antics OF
MessrS. Laurel and Hardy meshed
that there Is no clash in the un-
folding Of the story which IN the
main concerns itself with the ad-
ventures Of the two BOYS as mem
bers Of a Scotch regiment stationed
In India.
