For Little

Devotees of William Powell
and Luise Rainer will be given
opportunity to see these two able
performers on a downtown
screen for the first time in many
months next Sunday when the
Little Theater revives "Esca-
pade," romantic film comedy in
which they were co-starred.
The booking is of particular
interest because of Powell's re-
cent poor health which has
forced the favorite to curtail his
work before the camera.
Miss Rainier was introduced to
Hollywood in this picture, and
American cinema audiences re-
ceived their first views of the
talent that subsequently made
film history in The Good
Earth"
The suave Powell and wide
eyed Luise Rainier compose an
attractive team in "Escapade,"
the story of which is rich in
amusing situations. The third
name" in the cast is Frank
Morgan, one of the most popu.
lar and dependable players on
the M-G-M pay roll. Morgan is
given generous prominence in
the film and provides many of
its enjoyable moments.
