Strand tomorrow afternoon will be
afforded something delightfully."- new
in the way Of screen entertainment
when the tuneful comedy That's
Right-You're Wrong" arrives at
that popular theater for an engage
ment Of three days.
Starring Kay Kyser with his or
crestra and Adolphe Menjou, the
picture breaks sharply away from
the conventional boy meets-girl sue
cess-story theme on which most
band leader films have been based.
Consequently, the story deals with
the hilarious but futile efforts of q
big Hollywood film company to
make q picture with Kyser and his
band. and in so doing 1t offers gay
and iaughter-packed entertainment.
Kyser and his musicians portray
themselves throughout the film and
Menjou has the role OF the luckless
producer assigned to the task Of
hsanging Kyser to the screen.
Kyser scores notably IN his initial
effort and with Menjou easily grabs

Flowers For The Real Girl

That's going to be quite q party,
I understand. The owner Of this
shop is supervising the decora-
tons"
Dan was back looking at the
nosegay Of red rosebuds. They
made him think Of Marie. He
left them, reluctantly, IN the win
dow.
What a weakened sap he'd
been, he told himself, as he walked
out Of the flower shop. No more
intention Of seeing Marie La
Porte again than he had Of flying
to China and yet, here he was
thinking Of buying presents for
her. He might send them to her
anonymously, that's what he'd do,
down through the years and she'd
never know where they came
from. Crossing 57th street. he
turned north on Madison avenue.
Another ache in his heart, the
last time, he'd been on this block
was with Marie. A gust of wind
and snow blinded his eyes. Head
bent, he bumped squarely into a
girl just in front of him
She turned to protest. It was
Marie. "Oh, Dan," she cried. "I've
been looking for you, and wanting
to find you so"
He put his arms around her.
my darling"
People passing, smiled and hur-
ried on.
II came on this block because
we'd been here. She drew away.
But this will be the last time
we'll meet. I can't see you again.
Papa would kill me If he knew
I was with you now"
He tucked her arm through his
and turned her about. II won't
argue" he said. I'VE can settle
that later, but I want you to come
back with me to flower shop.
There's a little bunch Of red roses
in the window that looks just like
you"
She ran to keep up with him.
I'm serious. I'll have to go
back"
He pressed her arm. "I refuse
to worry Where do you want to
lunch?"

great in its simplicity, tender in
human values.

she is Just another clerk in the

From there, the drama and COM
edy proceeds on through the boss

and hilarious episode where the girl

her dream man has stood her up"

climax where Stewart unravels the
knotty situation.

by Ernst Lubitsch, who made Carlo

CHAPTER XXI

Dan Donovan's decision not to
see Marie La Porte again came after
he talked with his mother Satur-
day morning. Although he laughed
at her, and leased her, and saw
through all of her silly ways, he
adOred her. II he had been asked,
he might have said he cared for her
even more than he did for his
father, perhaps because she was
such q transparent, lovable fraud
She needed protection. Until yester-
day, he had never caused her any
unhappiness.
He formulated his plans for the
day as he shaved. He would
breakfast with his father; his
father had probably gone to the
ONCE. He would go to the florist
and order the best corsage money
could buy for Lynda, but first he
must find out what she was going
to wear. Hang it all, he knew
what she was wearing, hadn't he
seen the very dress on Marie.
At thought of Marie, the old
ache came back. What had the
girl done to him He couldn't
get her out Of his mind night or
day. He was glad for the inter-
ruption Of a knock.
Madame Donovan would be
happy if you came to her sitting

Thinking Of Marie, even for a
few moment, as he first saw her,
