SHIRLEY TEMPLE FILM RETAINED FOR SECOND WEEK AT APOLLO

5-Year-Old Girl Scores Triumph in First Role Talented Youngster Receives Capable Support From Excellent Cast, Including James Dunn. Five-year-old Shirley Temple, heralded as the darling of the nation, has added to her list of triumphs. Enacting her first title role in “Baby Take a Bow.” now appearing at the Apollo theater, this charming little girl has been so unanimously accepted by the public that her picture is being retained for a second week. Shirley, vivacious as she is sweet, is said to find it great sport to make pictures. The freshness and innocence of her personality being of prime importance, the director and the cast were faced with the necessity of devising the acting each day into a game. Shirley loves to play at acting —which to the members of the cast is work.

‘ Baby Take a Bow*’* is the story of a young man just out of prison, a girl who marries him because she believes in him, and the result of their union, an adorable baby girl who is the pride and joy of their hearts. Into the picture enters an escaped convict and the theft of some valuable pearls from the home of the boy’s employer. Suspicion and persecution by a self-styled detective cloud the happiness of the little family. The thief, passing the flat, gives the jewels to the baby in order to avoid being caught with them in his possession. The denouement grows more exciting as the criminal returns and takes the jewels and the baby to cover his escape. After an exciting sequence of events, the gems are recovered, the culprit captured and Shirley, heroine of the hour, removes all suspicion from her daddy. A great deal of comedy and human interest has been injected into the scenes showing the camaraderie and affection between the father and baby and the episode of the child's birthday party affords Shirley another opportunity to show her talents as a singing and dancing entertainer. Included in the cast are James Dunn and Claire Trevor as the young father and mother. Alan Dir.ehart and other prominent screen stars. Short subjects supplementary to the mam attraction include the comedy, “No Sleep on the Deep.” a cartoon entitled “Joe's Lunchwagon,” a Romantic Journey reel and Fox Movietone News. a b a Dr. Monica' at Circle Kay Francis, Warren William, Jean Muir bring “Dr. Monica” to the Circle theater this week, presenting a beautiful love story of a talented doctor’s fight to hold her husband through a childless marriage from a young and beautiful girl who has inadvertently fallen in love with her husband. The husband, played by Warren William, has written a number of successful novels and is exceedingly popular with the younger set. He returns the infatuation of Jean Muir for a time and later finds ♦hat he is only attracted by her youth and beauty and is in reality in love with his wife. tt u n Davies' Film at Palace ’folding the pages of history is “Operator 13,” an exciting Robert W. Chambers story which Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer presents as Marion Davies’ newest starring vehicle with Gary Cooper as her leading man and which opened yesterday at L<- ”s Palace. “Operator 13” is a love story for which the Civil war serves only as a background. It is the story of an all-powerful love involving a beautiful woman spy of the Union • rmy and a gallant spy of the Confederate forces. Manon Davies is cast as Gail Loveless, the federal spy who is sent into the southern lines to destroy the most dangerous spy of the confederacy. Gary Cooper is the south-

Film Studio Dressing Rooms Serve Many Uses for Stars

What’s a dressing room for? That depends upon the star. Some use them strictly for dressing. Some use them for resting places, some for entertaining, some for business and some for clubrooms. Sylvia Sidney and Gary Cooper, who occupy rooms at opposite ends of Paramount’s dressing room building—No. 101 and No. 122 respectively —are among those who use their rooms for dressing quarters only. This is particularly true of Cooper, who dons his linen suits for “Now and Forever’’ there in the morning, and removes them at night, and nothing more. W. C. Fields and Jack Oakie, neighbors in 104 and 105 are “in” most of the time. Fields not only dresses and makes up there, but eats lunch, sleeps, takes showers and has rubdowns at the hands of a husky trainer. Oakie uses his quarters for a i lounging and entertaining room.

Mae West has the mystery room. Few persons, aside from those actually working with her on “It Ain’t No Sin” have been inside, for Miss West has no time for rest and relaxation there. She has a piano in it and rehearses songs, writes numbers, concocts new dialogue and confers with Travis Banton on fashions most of her free time. Libby Taylor, her maid, is in constant attendance. Carl Brisson and Bing Crosby use their dressing rooms as offices. Brothers of the two stars serve as their respective secretaries and carry on the lengthy correspondence

.JUNE 23. 1934

Paul Lukas Starred in Lyric Film Baer-Carnera Fight Also Featured on This Week's Bill. Two unusual attractions comprise the Lyric theater's screen fare for the current week. They are "Affairs of a Gentleman,” a romantic mystery drama starring Paul Lukas and Leila Hyams, supported by a big cast of favorite players, and the official motion pictures of the BaerCarnera world's heavyweight championship boxing contest. “Affairs of a Gentleman” presents the suave and polished Lukas in the role of a famous author who has “affairs” with not less than a half dozen beautiful women, and who engages in the dangerous practice of making each romantic adventure the basis of anew bo >k. That such a practice would serve to create enemies is only natural, and so, when the literary Don Juan is found dead in his apartment under mysterious circumstances each of the women to whom he has made love is suspected of being implicated. Several jealous rivals and an assorted group of others including a publisher, a butler, and a secretary are subjected to police scrutiny as the plot unfolds, but the solution o£ the mystery provides the picture with a most surprising climax. Lukas and Miss Hyams have the support of such popular screen players as Patricia Ellis, Phillip Reed, Onslow Stevens, Dorothy Burgess, Lillian Bond, Joyce Compton, Dorothy Libaire, Richard Carle, Sarah Hadden and others. Directed by Edwin L. Marin, “Affairs of a Gentleman” was adapted from the stage play, “Women in His Life,” by Edith and Edward Ellis. The Baer-Carnera fight pictures provide spectators with a ringside view of the most spectaculr prize ring encounter in a decade. All the drama and thrills that developed during the eleven hectic rounds of the fight in which Max Baer, the California Lothario, won the championship from the gigantic Italian, Primo Camera, are reproduced in every detail. The fight pictures are being shown exclusively at the Lyric.

British Casts

The importance of having an English player in all American pictures is fast being recognized by the Hollywood producers. Fox and other large companies have used the system for some time with success, featuring such players as Heather Angel, Clive Brook, Diana Wynyard, Pat Patterson and others. Monogram is the latest to adopt the practice. Two of its recent pictures, “Jane Eyre” and “Shock,” featured almost complete British casts. Among the players were Ralph. Forbes, Colin Clive, Gwenllian Gill, Aileen Pringle, Jameson Thomas and Beryl Mercer. Now Trem Carr, Monogram vice-president, has taken yet another English player for an important role in “Moonstone,” Wilkie Collins’ English mystery. She is pretty Evelyn Bostock, and her first picture will be in the nature of a test to determine whether or not she will catch the public fancy. In case she does, she will be groomed for stardom. Carole Wants to Paint Carole Lombard is trying to teach herself to paint by copying the colored sketches made by Travis Banton, Paramount fashion designer.
