The photographic and acting results proved so excellent, that she may sign up for one of the big roles in "Dark Victory," to be produced following "The Garden oi Allah" by Richard Boleslav-ski. The picture will present the inimitable Adele to a wide screen public for the first time in her career. The long wirit before the shooting date of "Dark Victory" will give Lord and Lady Cavendish ample time to return to Ireland in order to win the approval of the former's parents, the Duke and Duchess of Devon; hire, to whom Adele is reputed to have premised, at the time of her marriagp, complete retirement from the world of acting.

John Eldredge and Joseph Crehan: also selected short subjects and a news reel, now playing at Loew's Theater. Excellent musical comedy and an exciting romantic plot characterize "The Music Goes 'Round," which is now being coleatured with "The Iron Man" at Loew's Theater. Harry Richman, well known Broadway entertainer, and Roehelie Hudson lead a strong supporting cast in a picture that moves at a fast tempo from beginning to end.

An added attrariion in the picture is the appearance of that. now famous song writin; team of Farley and Riley, co-authors of the melody that swept the country recently, "The Music Goes 'Round Richman, up until the present picture, has made his principal bid for fame as a Broadway entertainer, but his performance as the lead in the male romantic role in this production proves his ability to act before the Kleig lights. Rochelle id-son's part is played with all the grace and charm at her able command. Walter Connolly, Michael Bartlett, Lionel Slander and Douglass Dumbrille have important lroles in the picture. The story, in part, deals with Harry Wallace (Harry Richman) a Broadway musical comedy star.

who becomes disgusted when he fails to convince Bishop (Douglass Dum-brilfw his' producer that he should include a new song "The Music Goes 'Round" in his new show. Wallace takes a vacation, without letting Bishop know of his whereabouts, and his car breaks down in the sleepy town of Adamsville, Miss. The only excitement in the town is the arrival of a showboat. He goes curiously aboard. On deck, Susanna Courtney (Rochelle Hudson i spies him and he is hired one of the troupe.

Wallace then wires Bishop to meet the showboat, telling him that it will be a unique offering for the new revue. He tells Bishop that the melodramatic troupe is so terrible that they'll be a hit in New York. Meanwhile, Harry is rapidly falling in love with Susanna. Bishop agrees to take the show to New York and present it as a part of the revue. Susanna believes that Bishop has hired her father's troupe because of their histrionic ability.

After Farley and Riley bring down the house with their song and music, the Courtney troupe goes on. Susanna is stunned by the laughter which greets the troupe's serious efforts. From then on until the climax is reached, the picture is replete with thrills. "The Man of Iron," the cofeature, with Barton MacLane, Mary Astor and Dorothy Peterson in the leading roles, is an exciting story of a steel mill foreman who finds himself promoted in spite of himself. John Eldredge and Joseph Crehan also have important roles in the picture.

Louis Natheux and Allen Garcia; also Fitzpatnck travel talk in color; news reel, crime short and Mickey Mouse animated cartoon in color, on present program at Poli's Theater.

"Modern Times," the feature attraction at Poll's Theater, not only marks the long awaited return to films of the incomparable Charles Spencer Chaplin, comedian, but it is also one of his funniest pictures. Furthermore, there is a surprise offering: he sings, the traditionally silent Chaplin actually becomes articulate to the extent of emitting a melodic jargon of what might be French, or Italian or Spanish, but is probably pig Latin. In "Modern Times" his fooling takes on an occasional tinge of social satire, but so gentle is it that one is never sure whether he is aiming a dart at the employers or the employed. His main theme is the attempt of a meek misfit to free himself from the unbearable pressure of daily routine in a vast, modern factory. He goes mad temporarily from trie nerve strain of tightening nuts on a moving belt, and is forced to spend some time in a hospital When he emerges, it is without a job in sight, and with the doctor's admonition to "take it easy and avoid excitement." Innocent Victim In Arrest.

As he walks jauntily down the street, a passing lumber truck drops its red warning flag. He hastens to pick up the square of cloth, and starts after the truck to return the lost Behind him, all unknowing, a phalanx of Communists falls in. They precipitate him short ly into the midst of a violent clash, with the police. He becomes the scapegoat and is soon languishing in jail. Incarceration proves to be a pleasant relief from the turmoil of the workaday world.

Charlie would like to stay there, but one day he unwittingly thwarts a Jail break and is rewarded for his heroism by being set free. At first his sole desire is to break the law and wait comfortably for "the wagon" to come and pick him up again. He sees his opportunity when he comes upon Paulette Goddard, a wistful and hungry gamin of the waterfront, about to be arrested for stealing bread. Magnanimously, Charlie shoulders the blame. From that moment the two are fast friends.

She makes a home for them both in a nest of old packing boxes, and he, for her sake, once more braves the terrors of industrialism to earn enough for their livelihood. After numerous failures, they are, at the end, still trying, still bravely facing an unsympathetic world together, bloody but unbowed. An exceptionally fine travelogue in color heads the accompanying list of short' subjects. The hilarious Mickey Mouse animated cartoon which follows, also is in color. It presents a furious polo game between Mickey, Pluto, Donald Duck and the Big Bad Wolf, on the one team, and Messrs.

Laurel, Hardy, Marx and Chaplin on the other. A enme-doesn't-pay short drama and news reel complete the program. Post Office Solves Geographical Address Bridgeport, Feb. 28. AP.) The post office clerks in Springfield, and Bridgeport know their latitude and longitude.

"Another Face" Is one of the best comedy-melodramas which this theater has shown in a long time, and presents a completely new phase of the popular racketeer film. "Broken Nose" Dawson (Brian Donlevy) is one of the big gangsters of New York, but his twisted face makes it more and more difficult for him to conceal his identity. So he forces a surgeon to "lift" his face, and after the operation is performed, kills the doctor. Nurse Escapes. The doctor's nurse i Molly La- mont) escapes.

The gangster's new face is so handr-ome that it gives him the idea of going to Hollywood and getting a job as a film artor. which both gratifies his vanity and makes it the last possible place the police think to look for him. He gets diu nine i.s i anu ui- son holds up the studio. Not only are the gangster sec- tions exciting, but the picture is filled with high comedy. Donlevy as the stage struck gangster is very amusing, especially in airing his views on how great an actor he is.

Ford as the halrbrained publicity agent, is a source of intense "funny business" throughout. In fact the whole picture is straight comedy except for the fast moving open close melodramatic sections.
