One such simple item is tea. To most women, making tea is so automatic a- matter that they dont think twice about it. They think that all that is necessary is to bring i tioiiing water into contact with tea- leaves and there you are. Rexy According to the greatest race of "Broadway Thru a Keyhole" and "Broken Dreams" WALTER WINCHELL enjoys the distinction of having written the most-read column in the United States and Canada today. His fame on the radio is increasing all the time.

Bearing this in mind, Hollywood producers asked him to write a scenario that would deal intimately with figures, facts and personages on Broadway. Winchell's story in celluloid form comes to thp Rexy Theater on Monday and is called "Broadway Thru a Keyhole." it is aptly named because the story concerns Broadway and it is surely an insight into life of the "brightest street in the world." Paul Kelly takes the major honors of the cast as the racketeer chief. Kelly has won a name for himself on the Broadway legitimate stage and the producers made no mistake In casting him in the role that he fc till I I irnmr-ir-- 1 I PT-dnnkers in the world the Jjnglish there is more to it than ist that. Britishers have a whole I implicated ceremony of preparing jta, and if there is the slightest de- arture from it they are greatly hocked. It is a commonplace in England that one can't get a "decent cup of tea" in America for love or money that Americans don't really know what properly f.avored tea is like.

George Arliss, who, though he his been acting on the stage and in motion pictures in America for Elizabeth Allen plays in "The Solitaire Man" at the Rideau Theater on Monday. Herbert Marshall has the leading role. 3SJ Bob Woolsey and Bert Wheeler are at the Regent theater in their latest "nutty" effort, "Hips, Hips, Hooray." holds. Russ Columbo, the radio crooner, is also prominently cast, and others are Constance Cummings, the late Texas Guinan, Blossom Seeley, Eddie Foy Gregory Ratoff and Frances Williams. Also playing on the double bill is "Broken Dreams." "Night Flight," an epic of mall and passenger flying with a cast including John and Lionel Barrymore, Helen Hayes, Clark Gable, Robert Montgomery, Myma Loy and William Cargan, comes to the Rexy on Thursday with "Convention City," a hilarious comedy with a cast that is remarkable.

Imperial SIS tnirty-three years, still maintains not allow the tea to be made in it to cool too rapidly. A quiclc change of temperature vitally affects the brewing of tea, though it is helpful to the flavor if when Centre Many of his English customs, is one who takes his tea-drinking seriously. During the filming of his litest motion picture, "The House oi Rothschild," which is released by United Artists, Mr. Arliss followed his old custom of having a cup of tea served to him on the set every ifternoon at four o'clock sharp, rea at that hour is an Arliss in Hollywood. It is even a part i his contract that he may inter-upt his performance on the set Swell Headed Flayer-Draws Jibe By Oakie Jack Oakie was telling Carl Brisson, on Paramount "Murder at the Vanities" set, about a particularly egotistical actor he knew, Brisson You mean he's swell-headed? Oakie Swell-headed? Why if that guy ever got a headache, it would take a carload of aspirin to cure it.

QtU making iced tea, for example it is cooled rapidly after it is made. Iced tea is best made by pouring very hot tea into a glass full of cracked ice rather than by letting the tea cool slowly to a tepid temperature, and thus becoming stale. After the pot is scalded, a quan "The Meanest Gal in Town" and "Son of Kong" FIVE of filmdom's funniest punsters get together in "The Meanest Gal in Town" at the Imperial Theater this afternoon. Zasu Pitts, Pert Kelton, El Brendel, James Gleason and Skeets Gallagher comprise the "new deal" in comedy. These redoubtable laughsters extract every ounce of humor from a plot that bristles with rib-tickling situations.

Miss Pitts, owner of a thriving drygoods store, and El Brendel, a Swedish barber, have been keeping "company for ten years. Zasu is very anxious to get married but her lover will not tie his share of the knot until he has added another chair to his shop. Pert Kelton is stranded in town from a touring road show and there the fun commences. Gleason falls for her and then she compromises Brendel. Zasu is jealous and yields to the blandishments of Gallagher.

Imagine the rest of the riot for yourself. It is too good to tell. Also on the bill is "Son of Kong," a sequel to the famous "King Kong" picture that so thrilled Ottawa last season. Robert Armstrong and Helen Mack head the expedition back to the island where Kong was captured to search for buried treasure that is reported there. Next Wednesday at the Imperial brings "Lazy River" with Jean Parker, Robert Young, Ted Healcy and Nat Pendleton.

It will surely be one of the ten best pictures of the year, it is certainly the finest for the past month, and what's more, we guarantee that no matter what type of production you like, "It Happened One Night" is sure-fire entertainment of the first water. Gable is cast as an adventurous newspaperman who insults his women first and loves them afterward.

Miss Colbert is a runaway society heiress accustomed to riding roughshod over the rest of the world. Just what happens when these two meet and are forced to spend a week together but the story's too good to be bandied about. You'll thank us for it later see if you don't. "It Happened One Night" will surely make you a happier person after you have seen it. It has that sparkling, entertaining, realistic yet romantic quality that no one between the ages of eight and eighty can resist.

It is just what you could expect from Miss Colbert and Gable. icuiar as to just how it is pre tared. Marjorie Rambeau And "I am told," Mr. Arliss said rein tly on this subject, "that many prepare their tea by Thelma Todd Friends Marjorie Rambeau and Thelma Todd are still friends. But there was a day during the filming of a scene in "Palooka" when that friendship was severely strained.

The story action called for Miss Rambeau to take a healthy sock ceased from bubbling, is poured over them, allowed to stand for perhaps thirty seconds, and then poured into the cup through a strainer. Of course the blend of tea-leaves used has much to do with the success of the brew, but this varies according to taste. The method of making the brew, however, never varies, according to Mr. Arliss. isngung ntue clusters of leaves, ied up in cheese-cloth, into hot This is simply barbarous!" Arliss' tea is prepared for ilm by his valet, Jenner, who has e'en with him over a quarter of a entury, and by a method which is simple, but imperative.

After a full day's work under Cecil B. De Mllle's direction Ciaudette Colbert found three gray hairs in the long auburn wig she wears in "Cleopatra." And the hairdresser claims that they certainly were not there before. GEORGE Keen Competition Will Be Witnessed In Finals Of The Drama Festival One of the most up and coming regions of the Dominion Drama Festival is that which is called the Western Ontario Region, embracing London, Sarnia, Gait and other points. The honorary director of the Dominion Drama Festival made a special trip to London for the regional contests there and in his opinion no praise can be too high for the administration efficiency or technical skill which makes that highly successful event.

In the next "take" the sound mixer said the dialogue preceding the action was unsatisfactory. The third time Miss Rambeau was too cautious and pulled her punch.

"Nips, Hips, Hooray" and "Blood Money" SMARTLY and enthusiastically insane, abounding in laughs of the side-splitting variety, "Hips, Hips, Hooray." presenting the stellar comics, Bob Woolsey and Bert Wheeler, opened at the Regent Theater "Hips. Hips, Hooray" combines thrills, hilarity and goofy comedy in the story.

Wheeler and Woolsey are seen as the high pressure salesmen of Frisby's Beauty Preparations, marketing flavored lipsticks for Thelma Todd and Dorothy Lee. When $10,000 is missing, the finger points to the boys, who are innocent. To avoid arrest they take to the road in a motor race across the country. The ride leads the audience to a surprise climax as their racing car rides to a smashing finish in laugh-packed and mady-merry scenes. "Blood Money." playing on a double bill with "Hips, Hips, Hooray," reveals the inside of the bail bond racket.

It exposes the machinations whereby imprisoned crooks are sprung, unscrupulous politicians are railroaded into office and out of it, and majors are made and unmade at the Jerk of a thumb. George Bancroft appears in the stellar role as Bailey, a bondsman. He becomes the heart interest of two women, one a society deb. and the other a night club hostess. Both of them double cross him, Elaine, the through selfish ambition, and Ruby, the hostess, as a retaliation for a supposed wrong.
