Duffy, "BLONDE VENUS" AND GREAT STAGE SHOW AT THE DOWNTOWN PARAMOUNT THEATRE We previewed the feature picture in our columns recently but might note that there was an extra large crowd at the opening performance to see and hear Marlene Dietrich. The stage show is a fine companion for the feature picture, as it has Jans and Whalen, who are just about the funniest comics seen here for some time. These boys don't depend upon trick clothes to put over their gags as they have some of the funniest stories heard on the stage and most of them are new which keeps the crowd in high humor. Milla Sonde is a girl who was seen and heard at the Frolics Cafe for some time but on the stage she is even better. She put over three songs that were a joy to listen to. It's no wonder the picture producers secured this fine personality for the screen. Constance Evans, the champion high kicker and acrobatic dancer par excellence, clicked in a great way and the Paramount Dancing beauties were a great aid to her in a special number that was a scene of beauty and rhythm. Eddie Larkin, in charge of the stage show, showed his fine work in this act. Donna Grant was splendid but Rena and Rathburn, in Tipsy Steps, are one of the best knockabout dancing teams we have see in a long time. They kept the audience in high humor during the whole act. As for Eddie Stanley, "The Jovial Jester" as he designates himself, you can always depend upon hearing some new stories and his manner of putting them over is mighty clever. Georgie Stoll and his fine band of musicians give a new theme in their opening number each week and this time it was "Sunny Spain." Great entertainment at the largest theatre this week and from the appearance at the opening, it looks like a "Big Week." —ARTHUR FORDE E. C. HAMLEY, M. D. Visit Dr. Hamley at his offices.

ANOTHER STUDIO— gets Robert Florey, director for the Tiffany Studios, who made "The Man Who Came Back" which Was shown recently. "BLUE MOON MURDER MYSTERY"— is the title, and Warner-First National is the studio for which Bob will make this thrilling story. London and Paris are playing up "Cabin in the Cotton" and "Back Street" in a manner that should bring golden happiness to WFN and Universal. Louis Gasnier is reported in "Ahora" of Madrid, as searching in that city for a Spanish star who is not only an actress but a dancer of ability, to appear in support of Carlos Gardel, for Paramount releases. London is "huffed" at not seeing "Dr. X" in Technicolour. But then many theatre-goers here would also like to know why some theatres showed that film in black and white, and others, seemingly favored, showed it in colour with strikingly beautiful effects. Write Warner Brothers for the answer. "Ahora," a leading daily newspaper of Madrid, pays especial compliment to the following pictures, — "Bold Youth" featuring Wm. Haines, "Grand Hotel" and "Back Street."
