DE LUXE THEATRE

* “The Women Men Marry” And “Cafe Colette” The hero of “The Women Men Marry,” at the De Luxe Theatre, is a reporter, and the heroine also works on a newspaper, and helps the hero solve a mystery, but apart from this the film is in quite a different category from the conventional newspaper melodrama. It is more in the nature of a problem play, part of

the problem being to keep track of the complicated and rather aimless story. George Murphy (better known for his dancing) ■ is the hero, a star journal-] ist whose philandering editor (Sidney Blackmer) send s him off on a danger-] ous assignment so that he, the editor,

can make love to the reporter’s faithless wife, Claire (Claire Dodd). of the woman reporter is played by Josephine Hutchinson. The second feature, “Cafe Colette,” is a rather curious mixture of espionage, farce, tangled romance, and cabaret turns. Greta Nissen is the adventuress entrusted with the task of taking the formula away from the English officer who has charge of it. Paul Cavanagh does a commendable job as the officer.
