Comedy
For Palace

Nothing Sacred" the new
technicolor picture in which
Fredric March and Carole Lom-
bard engage in "the battle of the
century" will be the screen sue
ceSsor to THE FREELY when
that M-G-M musical COM
pletes it's current run at Loew's
Palace.
The laughs are said to start at
the very beginning of this David
o. Selznick production and to
gain a lusty impetus that ends
the picture in a delirium. It's a
newspaper farce with a new
comedy angle in which it's too
famed stars are said to reach
refreshing heights of hilarity.
Ben Hecht adapted the story
for the screen.
Charles Winninger and Walter

tween Miss Lombard and Fred
ric March who actually meet
in a hand-to-hand encounter in
the first knockdown fight be-
tween a man and a woman ever
filmed. This should give one
an idea of the rough and tumble
farce to be expected.
