“PACE IN THE SKY” One of the outstanding pictures of the season, “Face in the Shy,” makes ils debut before local theatre-goers today at the Tivoli theatre. Its treatment, pliotogra-phy and the work of its east are all. said to smite a new note in screen artistry. Spencer Tracy, Marian Nixon and Stuart Erwin have the leading roles in this talo of a travelling young signboard artist whose dreams of marrying an heiress fade when ho falls in love with a. little country girl. Whimsically handled details of farm life, a free-for-all fight between the painter and his helper against the farmer and liis son, a kidnapping unawares, the “rescue” of the girl by a. vengeful bridegroom, her escape and desperate search through New York, for her lover, and a unique reunion all punctuate the progress of the story. Jt is in the unconventional direction and treatment, however, that the picture claims distinction. The director, Harry Luchman, recently created a sensation abroad with his Euro-pean-made films, and in this, his first American offering, he is said to depart radically from accepted methods oi telling a story, Myles Connolly wrote the original story with Humphrey Pearson doing the screen play and William Collier the dialogue direction. Lee Gamer’s photography aud the work of a notable supporting cast headed by Sarah Hadden and Bam Hardy arc important features of the film. A matinee is ill bo held this afternoon.
