STRAND

FCOpefI 1dylOr ana barpara Stan- wyck with Victor McLaglen in "Thi, Is My Affair" and Pick A Star with Jack Haley, Patsy Kelly, Laurel and Hardy and Lyda Roberti con- clude their engagement at Warmers Strand theater tonight.
 Sundays new double feature pro- gram will be headlined by Might Must Fall" which adopts a tech- nique of story construction that is entirely new on the screen.
 The, film is daring venture in the production field, but even more experimental for Robert Montgom- cry who deliberately chose to drop his accustomed heroic roles for the characterization of pathological killer. His performance is remark able from every standpoint.
 There is no element of mystery in the narrative. It is the pe- culiarly effective account of a youth whose mind is bent on crime. The situation is complicated by the romance between him and Rosa lind Russell as a girl who finds herself in the unenviable position of loving a man whom she knows to be bad.
 The background of the story is a country carnival and a small hotel, where most of the action occurs
 In the cast are players from the original stage company who ap- peared in the play for 55 consecu- tive weeks. Among them are Dame May Whitty, Merle Tottenham, Mat thew Boulton and Kathleen Harri- son. Alan Marshall and E. E. Give also have prominent roles.
