KING GEORGE AND PRINCE EDWARD THEATRES

"SECOND HONEYMOON" ' Acclaimed in increasing numbers of fans with each new picture as the most r - ".lag sweethearts of the screen, Ty* . „ t ie Power anil Loretta Young are costarred again in Twentieth CenturyFox's "Second Honeymoon," coming on Tuesday to the King George and Prince Edward Theatres. Already hailed as the merriest, "marry-est" romance of the year, the film is said to be theix perfect picture together. Their love is news again, but this time they mean it with all their hearts..

Love at first sight is romantic enough Tyrone and Loretta agree, but love at second sight . . . MM it! They fall for each other twice in this gay hit. After parting in Reno, they meet accidentally under a thrilling Miami moon and kiss impulsively, to find they have fallen in love all over again.

Having left Tyrone because lie was mad, irresponsible and gave her no sense of security, Lorelta finds she wanth him back for the same reasons. But a honey moon renewed is not so easily accomplished as a honeymoon "Reno'd," especially when Loretta's second husband is considered. Played" by Lyle Talbot, ho is a'common garden-variety of spouse out-bloomed by the hardy perennial that is Tyrone's and Loretta'* love. There are others, also, who have a say in the matter. There is Stuart Erwin, who -is crazy about pretty Marjorie Weaver and, as a conscientious gentleman's gentleman, wants liis employer, Tyrone, to enter into a similar state of bliss. There are Claire Trevor and J. Edward Uromberg, a sophisticated couple carelessly throwing interesting little monkey-wrenches into the not-to-smoothly running machinery of matri-

mony. The whole trouble starts, howe\ei, when Husband Number One and Husband Number Two try to become friends. Tyrone arranges a 'progging expedition, a new pastime of speai-fish-ing at night under powerful searchlights and the entire party is invited. It is this expedition that proves to Loretta. that her divorce was a mistake. But when she sets about to rectify it, she finds Tyrone apparently much inteiested in Marjorie Weaver. The misunderstanding is caused by Miss Weaver's constant efforts to be near Stuart Erwin, who in turn is always near Tyrone. It requires an exciting, swiftly paced climax of events to result in the only proper solution. The smart and modern- screen playwas written by Kathrvu Scola and Darre'.l Ware, from the Red Book .Magazine storv by Philip Wyiie. Darryl F. Zanuck, Twentieth Century-Fox production chief, selected Walter Lang to direst the film, with Raymond Griffiths associate producer. "REBECCA OF SUNNYBROOK FARM."

Hut it .seems mighty difficult to make mistakes in dialogue purposely," This comment was made by Richard Dix, starred in Columbia's "It Happened in Hollywood," showing Thursday at the Prince Edward Theatre, following a scene which Director Harry Lachman had declared "No Good." Lachman's condemnation came from the fact that Dix did not make enough mistakes. The explanation was that Dix, in the character of a silent picture star, facing a voice test bark in I!>2S for 'talkies' was supposed to fail because lie had difficulty with dialogue. Dix, a dialogue veteran, celebrated for his stage-trained memory and accuracy of diction, did not make enough mistakes to suit the meticulous director. Fay Wray appears'opposite Dix in "It Happened in Hollywood." The Second Feature is KEN MAYNARD in "AVENGING WATERS."
