Captivating Connie, as the lovely but nadcap ghost, b credited with the finest performance in her entire career portraying whimsical, sophisticated comedy with subtlety and wearing her usual gorgeous gowns, Miss Bennett Is noted for being one Of the best-groomed women on the screen.
 Cary Grant in Lead
 Cary Grant the most sought-after leading man in motion pictures aft- CT the brilliant hit he scored with Grace Moore in When You're in Love-" was considered the ideal star, to play George kerby," Connies screen husband.

Will Osborne, creator Of slide" music, together with his featured soloist, Dorothy Rogers, and one Of tho finest dance orehestraS In the country today. will be the featured attraction in Pierce & Norton's blue eeilinged ballroom on Sunday night, August 22,
 Osbornt, who started his career while still in his teens, has been in the professional music world for the past i2 years, and can right fully lay claim to having introduced the latest novelty in dance prosen- tations, In the first place he was really the originator Of the grooming style of singing. Now ho steps forth with another innovation in dance cycles with his introduction of the glissando effects which he attains on the slide trombone. Featuring three trombones with three slide trumpetS, Osbofe produces effects which immediately distinguish his orchestra from others. The results of these novel experiments have been SO successful that now his is the only orchestra which uses the glissando in practically ell of itS arrangements. That it has merited praise from It's listeners can Dc as. certained by Osberne's record of lengthy engagements ct many Of the nations leading hotels, clubs and theatefs, as well as on many eoms mereiaily sponsored radio programs,
 As an added special attraction Pierce & Norton will present Q mammoth double display Of fires works Saturday night, This will Dc one Of the finest exhibitions Of pyro- technics ever displayed at Com. bounce, consisting of c glamefeus array of set-pieees and eolorful bombs, elimaxed with c finale that will literally rock the adjoining f1ountain-sido,

COMEDY FILM TO
 PLAY AT STRAND
Gala Cast in "Ever Since Eve"- -"The Man in
 Blue" " Companion

Attractions current ct Warner Brothers Strand theater included Captains Courageous" with Fred- die Bartholomew, Spencer Tracy and Lionel Barrymore, also Married Before Breakfast" with Robert Young and Florence Rice,
 Sundays new show will be head. lined by that grand comedy, "Ever Since Eve" with Marion Davies, Robert Montgomery, Frank McHugh, Patsy Kelly, Louise FaSenda and Allen Jenkins,
 It Is described as the Sprightli- est piece of nonsense that either the lovely golden -haired Mss Davies or handsome Bob has ever played in.
 Montgomery plays the part of . goofy author who cannot settle down to finish his novels because he always has his mind on blondes. Miss Davies assumes the role Of e Secre. tary who has been so postered ny previous employers on account oi her good looks, that when she goeA to work for Bob she does so in dis guise, making herself as homely a1 possible.
 Bob meets her at night undis. guised, doesn't recognize her, and falls in love with her. The eom- plieationS resulting from this are said to Dc fast and furious.
 The sort of roles portrayed by Mss Davies and Montgomery In tho pic' tuFe arc especially suited to their talents, and triumphS of former films arc repeated here Tnanyfold,
 Perhaps one Of the best features Of the picture Is the presence Of 6 sido.splitting supporting cast oi comedians, Performances by Allen Jenkins, Frank McHugh, and Patsy Kelly keep the audience in the pFo- verbal gales of laughter.

Hundreds of Chinese Pay No Attention to the Director
 or Translator
BY PAUL HARRISON NEA Service Staff Correspond

NEA SerVlCe StaII correspondent
 Hollywood -- On location with Marco Polo: Hundreds of Chinese, renl ones mostly sitting in every available bit of shade on the hot outdoor set. People in every imagin- able type of ancient Oriental dress, from loin cloths to suits of chain mail, and wearing varicolored lamp shade hats.
 The real Chinese pay almost no attention at all to Director Ar. chic Mayo's amplificd orders, and they respond only slightly more to the shout of Tom Gubbins, white czar of CalifOrnia's Chinese actors, who translates May0's commands into Cantonese.
 Four elephants standing at troughs and showering themselves with water. A herd of vicious. rec dolent old camels. A press agent pointing out ducks to newspaper men and calling them geese. An animal handler having trouble milk ing a burro Other attendants cool- ing dogs with buckets of water, Assistant directors sweating swear ing, arguing.
 Sport sox Visible
 When the confusion is at its height and the disregard for orders seems complete, one of Mayo's ieather-lungs yells, "Actlon-start the paradel" A siren screams and cameras turn. Assistants begin herdine Chinese and animals into a procession heading toward the gate of Pekin.
 Burrows. camels, elephants, horses, laden with bales of goods. Coolies carrying bars of gold and silver swung on poles between them. A great, obese mandarin straddles q horse and \ servant trots beside him carrying q sun- shade. Donkeys strain at heavy carts piled with bundles.
 All these are guarded oy mount- DQ HUH bild - ing swords and axes. Thus the pro- cession--his people bearing tribute to Kublai Khan, greatest of all em- perors of the Far East.
 Marco Polo and his servant Bin. euccio (Gary Cooper and Ernest Truex), stagger through the city gate and Binguccio falls in the road, his rag-bouna feet refusing to carry him farther. "Cutl" booms an order through the loudspeakerS.
 "Back In your places, everybody; we gotta do it again"
 The trouble was that a couple of i3th-century Chinese had walked before the camera with the cuffs of American trousers visible beneath their robes, and below these, brIght- ly striped sports sox.
