"FirefIy" For
Second Week

1.-THE FREELY" Metro Goldwyn-
Mayors musical production star
ring Jeanette Macdonald, will
be held for a second week at
Loew's Palace Theater.
1.-THE FREELY" is a stirring,
colorful and spectacular filmiza-
ton of Rudolf Friml's operatta.
For the first time in her screen
career, jeanette Macdonald is
seen as a dancer primarily and
singer incidentally.
She is cast in the role of the
fiery Spanish adventures who
fell in love and was betrayed by
a spy of her country's enemy.
The music is called superb by
critics, the action exciting and
spectacular. The story is CEN
tered in Spain during the Ma
poleanic wars. Allen Jones and
Warren William head a formida-
BILE cast.

ABOUT "TOVARICH"
"Tovarich" in the screen yer.
sion was screened last week at
Glendale, Calf, and last night
for the Hollywood critics in Los
Angeles.
The release Of the Warner
Bros. picture around the holidays
will cut short the life of the two
road companies playing the COM
edy, both of which are among
the highly successful attractions
of the current season. Marta
Abba heads one company, Eu-
genie Leontovich the other.
"Tovarich." according to the
Coast bulletins, is a walloping
Success, thus compromising the
freres Warner for all of the
headaches it has cost. They
paid $150,000 for the screen
rights, beating Metro-G oldwyn-
Mayer to the purchase, both
Carlo and LuiSe Rainier having
a yen to play the part of the
grand duchess.
When Warner Bros. went out
side of their own contract list
and signed Claudette Colbert for
the lead, their own Ka. Fran els
kicked over the traces, brought
suit to void her contract. Kay
claims she was promised the
part.
La Colbert also caused studio
rows that had them calling for
aspirin. When Director Anton
Litvak fired Claudette's favorite
cameraman, she went on a one
star strike, refused to continue
until her lens expert was re-
stored to the pay roll. Another
argument developed when she
insisted Travis Bantcn, Para
mount fashion designer, be hired
to chart her maids uniform.
She won this debate, also, and
the maids outfit should be a
beaut, since it represents $4,000.
Charles Boyer was leased
from Walter Wanger for $780,
900, on 10 weeks basis. It
took IA weeks of shooting and
the French leading man was
paid pro-rata for the extra
time.
Still everybody will be calling
each other "Comrade"-except
possibly Kay Francis-if "Tova-
rich" is the Grade1A product the
preview bulletins indicate.
NOISY MUSICIANS
I have a complaint today
that the pit musicians playing
for Richard II" last night,
talked loud enough during the
play to be distraction.
Also this department suggests
that the statue of the Ma
donna" in the production be re.
placed by something resembling
less early Mantell, or Wee and
Leventhal.

At the close here wheat was 4

oats unchanged.
The market opened firm in re-
spOnse TO strength at Liverpool and
an improved tone in the Securities
markets. Prices received a further
upward shove on buying induced
by a sharp advance at Winnipeg
but increased offerings soon pared
net gains. Indifference developed
later on the part of spectators and
the market dropped cent from
the days high points. A reaction
at Winnipeg had a bearish effect.
There was talk of good prospects
for exports of United States wheat

about 300, 900 bushels of Manitobas.
