‘Maytime’ ls Among Those Due

'Last of Mrs. Cheyney’, 'Lost Horizon' and 'Day | At Races’ Booked.

Loew's, along with Metro- | Goldwyn-Mayer, seems to be | suffering from an embarrassment of riches at present. Illness and one thing or other have contrived to bring several important pictures to | the cutting room at the same | time. So now it is a question as to whether *“Maytime,” “The Last of Mrs. Cheyney,” “Lost | Horizon” and “A Day at the Races” will reach the local theater in the order named. Ward Farrar, Loew's manager, was able to announce, however, that those are the four attractions that will be coming along beginning Feb, | 19. Either "Maytime"” or “The Last | of Mrs. Cheyney” will show on that date. It all depends on the boys | and girls who wield the scissors for M-G-M. Eddy Popular Here Nelson Eddy and Jeanette Mac- | Donald, as everyone probably | knows, are the stars of “Maytime.” | Of all more or less serious singers, these two are tops among the movie | makers today. Opera stars have | come and gone with big buildups, | but the Eddy-MacDonald combine continues to click. And neither of them is a grand opera luminary, either, Mr. Eddy's evident in that tens practically

local popularity is Mrs. Nancy, Marhas been swamped with ticket orders for Mr. Eddy's! recital appearance since the announcement that he would sing at English's April 11. It's a safe bet that he will be packing them in at Loew's as well.

The smart, amusing comedy, “The | Last of Mrs. Cheyney,” will come in | its present screen version with a likely looking cast headed by Joan Crawford, William Powell, Robert Montgomery and Frank Morgan. Besides being a perennial stage favorite, the play has been filmed twice before, if memory serves right —once with Norma Shearer starred, and again with Ann Harding. Colman “Lost Horizon” Star “Lost Horizon” has Ronald Colman as the star and was directed by Frank Capra. It is from the bestselling book of the same title on | the intriguing “escape” theme, and tells of an airplane grounded in a remote and inaccessible Tibetan | valley. “A Day at the Races” fea- | tures the Marx Brothers. Beyond that nothing need be said except that Madge Evans appears with them in their latest opus. Meanwhile Loew's will be doing business as usual, with a change of show on Friday. The Lincoln's Birthday attraction will be “Devil's layground,” with Richard Dix, Dolores Del Rio and Chester Morris. and “Dangerous Number,” with Robert Young, Ann Sothern and Reginald Owen.

The first picture marks Miss Del on the M-G-M roster, except maybe |

return to pictures after a absence, and also the first Dix and Miss recently signed with Columbia

Rio's lengthy appearance of Mr. Del Rio since they starring contracts Pictures. Miss Sothern has been borrowed from R-K-O for her part in “Dangerous Number.” Mr. Owen again | forsakes his familiar butler roles to appear as a bearded and dignified | eccentric. {
