SENSATIONAL MYSTERY MELODRAMA TO OPEN AT ENGLISH'S

LILLIAN HARVEY COMES TO APOLLO IN 'MY LIPS BETRAY' WITH JOHN BOLES IN CAST Simple and Charming Story of Demure Little Beauty Who Has an Affair With a King Is Bound to Attract Some Attention. Said to have captivated the hearts of the American public in her initial performance in “My Weakness,” Lillian Harvey, internationallyknown actress, is appearing currently upon the screen of the Apollo in her latest Fox Film release, ‘ My Lips Betray.” A simple and charming story, “My Lips Betray” concerns the plight of a demure beauty. She’s broke and down on her luck. After being berated by her landlady for overdue rent, she sets off for her job as a case entertainer.

The king's chauffeur, a bit tipsy, insists upon taking her home after her performance. Word soon passes that she is the king's favorite and she accepts the tributes accorded her. When the king hears the news he defies his mother and the prime minister who are trying to get him to wed a homely princess, and sets out in a captain’s uniform to meet the girl. When he finally finds the impostor, he falls in love with her. If you have the imagination, you know that something interesting must happen, and indeed does, which culminates with the king deciding to let a rumor and romance take their courses. The cast in support of Miss Harvey and John Boles includes El Brendel, Irene Browne, Maude Euburne, Henry Stephenson and Herman Bing. John Blystone directed, from the screen adaptation by Hans Kraley and Jane Storm from the original stage play, “Der Komet.” Short subjects supplementing the featured attraction on the program are Movietone News, a cartoon, ‘‘The Phantom Rocket,” and a two-reel comedy. nan Marie at Palace Marie Dressier and Lionel Barrymore, a co-starring team new to the screen, give picture fans something new both in personalities and in a story in ‘'Christopher Bean,” now at Loew s Palace. Miss Dressier calls the film her ‘‘birthday picture,” , having completed it just before the recent celebration of her 62nd birthday. The story is intense drama, although the heart throbs and human touches are mingled with several | comedy interludes. The contrasting ! work of Miss Dressier and Mr. Barrymore is gripping and interesting in the tale of the New England country doctor, who, under the lash of avarice, turns from an honest and kindly soul to a grasping schemer. Eventually, however, he is guided

back to his lifelong path of honor by the faith of an old servant. Metro - Goldwyn - Mayer adapted the picture from the successful New York stage play, “The late ChrisI topher Bean,” which was adapted in j turn by Sidney Howard from a French drama by Rene Fauchois. The story concerns the posthumous fame of a long dead artist, his paintings suddenly discovered to be worth fabulous fortunes, and the | turmoil this casts, into the home of the country doctor who had most of , them. Various other characters such as | the innocent lovers, the scheming wife, the jealous daughter, the ! suave art dealer and many more are responsible for injecting inter- ! esting touches into this absorbing | drama. Miss Dressier impersonates the servant, Abby, and Mr. Barrymore appears as old Dr. Haggett. Helen Mack and Russell Hardie are the young lovers, while Beulah Bondi has the same role which she I enacted in the original New York j stage success last season.

Freedonia, peace-loving country, is being incited to war by Calhern, ambassador to the neighboring country. He wants to buy the place and starts Freedonians fighting so that he can take it easily. But he doesn’t count on the dictator, Rufus T. Firefly, played by Groucho. Chico and Harpo, spies for Calhearn, take sides with Groucho sometimes. Torres tries to vamp the dictator, but with no results. Finally, Groucho sees that the only way out is to declare war.

Mr. Oberfelder made special arrangements with Potter & Haight, owners of “Double Door,” so that the show could be played over his circuit prior to its going into Chicago or Boston. The first city on the Oberfelder circuit to see “Double Door” was Kansas City, where the company opened last Sunday night. In speaking of the play's reception in the Missouri metropolis, the critic of the Kansas City Times said that the audience was shouting advice to the players on the stage and in the last act-“the enthused watchers did everything but stand up and cheer.” In the Kansas City Post, the critic, after lauding the play and members of the cast, said: “In every department ‘Double Door’ is a production of high quality, far superior to many road shows which Kansas Citians have paid $3 top price to see. It may be considered the biggest dramatic bargain the Shubert has ever offered.” “Double Door” Is a melodrama In three acts and four scenes.
