She's writing a book in which vhe "tells all." It will be the real in-riido of what goes on in Hollywood with all scandal, however, deleted by the author. Sally expects to tttav in the business. Clara How and Harry Richman have chartered a cabin plane to fly down to Asrua Oaliente over the week-end to revisit the scenes where their romance first blossomed. Another New York girl makes good. It can be said, and with plenty of emphasis, about Kay Johnson who almost makes the farfetched tale li lined under the title of "Dynamite" seem true.

There is significance in the fact that Kay has just been awarded the feature feminine role in "The Ship From Shanghai," which Charles Brabin will direct for Metro. She is the most successful to date of a new type that has gone liver big since the talkies came in. Society girl who received her training in a charm school, she papas witn Dig bankrolls. As such, "Goid Diggers Broadway" reached the main stem last evening the spacious Winter Garden being the chosen musicinema house. A gleeful first night audience roared at the antics of Winnie Light-ner and Albert Gran (although we must confess that a times it was absurdly overdone).

All in all, this makes merry talkie-singie-dancie fare and the beauty of its color again reaches pictorial splendor.

Seaking of IT leads naturally to Rudy Vallee and a chance to record the fact that he's due here tomorrow to become a full-fledged talkie actor for Wesley Kuggles will direct him.

Evelyn Brent arrived in New York from England seven years ago intending to stay a little while, look us over and run back. She's really going back now, sailing nert week with her husband, Tommy Meighan, as adored as ever by fans who have followed his pictures for years, yesterday showed what he could do in the talkies. "The Argyle Case" offers the Meighan articulation for the first time, and it is exceedingly pleasant articulation deep, resonant, interesting with the dash of humor which has always characterized his facial expression. The picture is fair enough entertainment, yet not by a long shot as thrilling nor as generally well turned out as was "The Racket," in which Tommy enacted a somewhat similar silent role. The trouble with the current Mark Strand movie is that it fails to be as mysterious as a murder movie should be.

When the celluloid bolt had reached reel 2, we had made up our mind as to the murderer of the rich Mr. Argyle. Here's just a peep into what it's about. The wealthy Argyle who has disinherited his son and left all his fortune to his adopted daughter, is suddenly killed shot dead. The ingenious, never failing Caton, is called in the case.

And he not only discovers the murderer but captures a giant counterfeiting ring each and every member. Besides which he falls for the beautiful adopted daughter, which affection is reciprocated. There's much dictaphone business which seemed to us rather an old angle. Meighan looks well and speaks his lines naturally. Lila Lee, who used to play opposite the star so many years ago, is once again his leading lady prettier, and wearing her clothes more gorgeously than ever.

The late Gladys Brockwell has an important role. Bert "GOLD DIGGERS BROADWAY" 0 1 OF Seats Now For Firat 8 Weeks Daily 2:45 8 :45. Sua. and Mon. 3 -6 8:45 VVfNTtlCiArDfN BROADWAY mt SO" ST.
