A Thousand Showmen Choose Title: “ REMEMBER LAST NIGHT?”
Two scenes from “ Remember Last Night?” in which the events surrounding a mysterious murder confuses half a dozen befuddled society idlers, almost to the point of madness. This production is full of thrills and surprises for the cast and the audience.
“ Remember Last Night?” is a great box-office title worthy of this Carl Laemmle , Jr. production with stars enough for three pictures. “ Remember Last Night” is a James Whale production and that means a lot.
WITH the help of a thousand moving picture exhibitors, moving picture executives and salesmen, Carl Laemmle, Jr. has obtained a great showman's title for a great showman's picture. For three weeks James Whale has been hard at work on Adam Hobhouse's extraordinary mystery novel, "Hangover Murders." The title of this popular book is not adapted to moving pictures.
At the time the picture went into work, Carl Laemmle, Jr. sent out a questionnaire to a great many smart showmen asking their suggestions for a title. Out of these suggestions has come "Remember Last Night?" It was a great suggestion. This title is worthy of the great picture
which it will carry through to real box-office triumphs.
The story is unique and fascinating, with human interest, humor, surprise and suspense to an extraordinary degree. It has a cast which sets it apart from any picture made this season. It is headed by Edward Arnold, Constance Cummings, and Sally Eilers, all stars in their own right, and featured equally in this production, with Robert Young next in line: The cast also includes Robert Armstrong, Gregory Ratoff, Reginald Denny, Louise Henry, Jack La Rue, Monroe Owsley, Arthur Treacher, Gustav von Seyffertitz, Raefaela Ottiano, Ed. Brophy, George Meeker and Allison Ardell.

"EAST OF JAVA" PRODUCTION STARTS
HARLES BICKFORD started production of Gouvernor Morris' story, "East of Java," at Universal City yesterday. The production is under the direction of George Melford, and the screen play has been written by Mr. James Ashmore Creelman. In the first scenes, the cast sum
moned includes Elizabeth Young, Leslie Fenton, Siegfried Rienemann, Ivan Simpson, and Clarence Muse.
It was the intention to use Clark Williams in an important role, but his work in "Tailspin Tommy in the Great Air Mystery," will prevent his appearing in "East of Java."
The Gouvernor Morris novel starts off with the wreck of a Chinese steamer on the reefs guarding Tiger Island. The main cargo of the steamer is a consignment of wild beasts, and an assortment of passengers almost as wild. It is with their several passions, dangers and love affairs that "East of Java," deals.
