IT'S no wonder that Hollywood goes
on making screwball comedy. Last
week, over at the Earle, they were in
positive dither about "Jezebel,"
which definitely not comedy, was
smacking weeks and weeks of records.
Then this week along comes "Elue-
boards Eighth Wife," which positively
and egregiously is a comedy, and the

Of THE Lone Ranger" serial booked
into the Columbia, 15-episode affair
that represents the first downtown ven-
ture into continued tales in many
moon. The application is not based
upon any knowledge of the picture, but
rather upon one of the most memorable
columns produced by Frank Nugent,
New York Times movie critic, to whom
the production of memorable columns
is not novelty. Mr.. Nugent's column
on the occasion we have in mind was
based upon the seemingly disastrous
circumstance of wandering into a the
ater in the midst of the serial. He
became SO engrOssed that he never did,
to our knowledge, get around to men,

rails can do that, we've really been
missing something A group of
