JOAN BLoNDELL,
 DICK POWELL AT
 10TH CENTURY
I Want a Divorce" Film Is Designed for Laughs
 If Opens Sunday

Although Joan Blondell and Dick Powell have been cast together many times in pictures, there is scarcely doubt that they have ever had chance to cavort the way they do in q Want a Divorce, ? the new comedy-drama which Par amount will present on Sunday at the 20th Century.
 This assignment together finds them cast as man and wife-they'rs man and wife off the screen, too, as just about everybody knows. And as a young couple who are faced with the usual problems such as finding enough money to get along, Joan and Dick have an unprece- dented opportunity to utilize their abilities along comic and dramatic lines. too, for that matter.
 With a supporting cast number ing such capable performers as Gloria Dickson, Frank Fay, Jessie Ralph and Conrad Nagel, Joan and Dick launch the story in a divorce court, where Joan's sister - Gloria Dickson-is getting a divorce. Joan helps things along with her testi- mony, and tells Dick how she hates to do it, convinced as she is that divorce breeds unhappiness.
 In a natural course of events, Joan and Dick are thrown together again, and as man and maid will, they marry. Then comes the fun.
 The climatic events of the story revolve around the fact that Joan wants Dick to struggle along on their small income, staying away from divorce cases, while Dick Is tempted by the big money to be made handling the cases. It would be unfair to give away any more of the story.
