MIDNIGHT ALIBI’ We heard about this from Loew’s Theatre in Rochester, N. Y. It’s designed as a display for the overhead arch, when moved up as part of the front. By tying up with Postal or Western Union, they promoted five clocks and free time service. Ticker in the center of the display gives the correct time in your town. Other clocks show the time in London, China, San Francisco, or any place you choose, and are labelled accordingly. Stripped across the whole display is your catchline. Beauty Shop Tie-Up Can’t you visualize the display below in your paper? It was used verbatim for Loretta Young in a tieup with a smart New York department store. All you have to do is to sell the beauty shop the idea of introducing a new Ann Dvorak hairdress. They’ll pay for the space. You supply the material, which is available either as a mat, No. 5—20e, or as a still, Dv 487—10ce.

Theatre on “MIDNIGHT ALIBI’ brings Richard Barthelmess, long time favorite, back to his admirers in the best of all his talking picture roles and it introduces a new star, the finest of character actresses from the stage, Helen Lowell, who is certain to take an immediate place high in the ranks of Hollywood’s most popular older actresses. Miss Lowell as the “Old Doll,” the aged recluse who furnishes Barthelmess with the much needed “Midnight Alibi,” is superb. Already famous for the old lady roles she has created on the stage in “Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch,” and “The Show Off,”’ Miss Lowell will obviously win equal honors for her screen characterizations. Ann Dvorak shares the romantic lead opposite Barthelmess with the fragile and beautiful Helen Chandler, who plays the role of the “Old Doll’ as a girl in the flash-back sequence of the pictures. Miss Dvorak is lovely as the modern girl. Henry O'Neill, Robert Barrat, Robert McWade and Purnell Pratt, are others in the fine supporting cast.
