The tens c an d thrilling story, of John and Jane M&son, an average, modern^ day, couple, deeply in love but hound' ed by opposing economic conditions, is unfolded in the new film drama, "Made for Each Other," a David O. Selznick production, which commences at the Plaza Theatre on Friday.

Among the other members of the cast is Julia Faye, one-time star of silent films, who played in the last silent picture ever made. "The Godless Girl," and is now making a comeback on the screen. Also present is Jack Mulhall, one of the few silent stars to continue successfully through the sound era. "Made for Each Other," an original story by Jo Swerling, .noted film author, draws its characters and plot from the wealth of material in life's every-day parade. Thousands have faced the problems entertainingly and dramatically presented in this film. While it is first and last an exciting story, it brings many ques-i tions into the open and discusses them frankly and honestly by . means of motion picture drama. Carole Lombard plays her first straight dramatic role in years, forsaking her chair* breaking, somewhat mad cycle of characterisations. Miss Lombard plays a contemporary young modern who marries for love and dedicates her life to helping her lawyer husband over the rough spots of their married life. Briefly, the story concerns the joys and sorrows;'- the comedies and tragedies of John and Jane Mason, who marry on slim economic ice, support a mother-in-law;'have a^babyj^and cling desperately to their love and romance. When the child becomes ill with a serious case of pneumonia, the picture rises to a poignant climax.
