AN OILWELL NEAR WALDEN, anti " Z YY COLORADO, PRODUCED A FROZEN MIXTURE RESEMBLING . x — ] ¥ Y ‘Convention City’ Showing at Capitol If laughter tends to crack your ribs or put an ache in your diaphragm, then you should be warned against “Con- vention City,” the First National com- edy which opened yesterday at the Capitol Theatre. On the other hand, if you can take it, you should be cau- tioned not to miss this uproarious film—in our judgment the screen riot of the season. “Convention City,” at its opening, sets a fast and furious pace—and that pace never slackens for an in- stant. Our first glimpse of the prin- cipal characters reveals them enroute to Atlantic City—the nation’s prin- Greta Garbo Coming As ‘Queen Christina’ A new motion picture with Greta Garbo is automatically an event: she has been acclaimed by many as the leading actress of the screen, and her vehicles are so carefully Spaced that it always seems an ex- tremely long time since the last one. When a Garbo film is directed by Rouben Mamoulian, formerly of the Theatre Guild, the event seems of double importance. And when the Picture is one whose dialogue has been composed by S. N. Behrman, author of last year's stage success, “Biogra- Phy,” then the event achieves a dis- tinction almost without precedent. cipal locale for salesmen’s jamborees. | This Picture is “Queen Christina,” From then until they straggle to the | train once more, at the finish of a week's roistering, there is action, punch, surprise. Several individual | stories are interwoven to form the main thread of this gay narrative—| all of them working out to a con- clusion against the background of the | roitous convention. Wives might even get a hint as to what friend husband is doing in the way of pursuing wild women when he is supposedly hard at work organ- izing his business. For there are al- most as many love tangles in the pic- tures as there are conventionists. As a cast for this sprightly comedy, | First National assembled one of the most impressive lists of “names” | that has come out of Hollywood in many months.

Amy Johnson Molli- which will be shown Tuesday at the Paramount Theatre, “Queen Christina” is remarkable in that it is a role chosen by Miss Garbo herself. The character of this brilliant, independent and eccentric Tegent of the middle seventeenth cen- tury is one that has always attracted | the enigmatic actress, as much because she was of the same race as because her intelligence and passion for free- dom were wholly modern in their Quality. And Sweden at that period | Was an aggressive military power whose martial mania Christina in- sisted on suppressing. Miss Garbo Was interested, too, in conveying this Pacifistic conviction of the queen. Accordingly, when the actress took one of her rare excursions home last spring, she promptly proceeded to do some of the research and investiga- tion which she had promised Rouben | Mamoulian she would do. She con- sulted: biographies and museum rec- ords and costume plates, and, when she returned to Hollywood with much of this material in her trunk, she was more eager than ever to attempt an incarnation of the queen who pre- ferred the cultivation of artists and sciences to the thankless and ruth-| less business of wielding a sceptre. . ok ee toe ee ae te em [things back in s hurry~—Edeel LISTEN, STut DID YOU HAPPEN TO
