This " picture, which opened &f the, Capitol Theatre last night, deals with the experierice of 'a young and unwed mother who li§ forced to assign her child for adoption immediately after its | birth. Later, having became & re- | markable success as a businesy | woman, she accidentally meets inj | Paris the man for whom | she has never ceased to yearn. Faced with the possibility of being: res united with her boy, she is com- pelled to decide between keeping silent regarding her real identity |as the child’s mother in order to be with him, or revealing the facts in order to play fair with the man she loves with the possibility of wrecking the little fellow's future. The role gives Miss Harding am- ple scope for the exercise of her unique talent for the portrayal of deep and sincere emotion, and the scene in which she makes the decision which affects not only. her future but that of her son is fraught with a pathos and ten- der dignity that has seldom been equalled. An exceptionally fine cast has been chosen by Joseph M. Schenck and Darryl F. Zanuck, lucers of “Gallant Lady,” to support Miss Harding and includes such names as Clive Brook, Otto Kruger and Tullio Carminati. e —— ELABORATE AND | ORIGINAL SETS | BUILT FOR FILM ‘The Mornmg After’ Ript-| ous Laugh Bringer Is Uptown Feature | | Scenes aboard express trains, in | waiting rooms, Tuggage offices and | .nn station platforms are among || | the most exciting in “The Momlng After” which is now showing BL‘ |the Uptown Theatre.

Botsfogéhows Clev- erness in Toastmast- ering Success By ROBBIN COONS HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 21.—Hol wood's latest toastmastering suc- cess is an actor in disguise. Hollywood did not know about A. M.

He is ducking further turgings to perform here. His ram- bling excursion through the ency- |clopedia at the Cohen affair was anything but extemporaneous, and toastmastering is an exacting busi- ness, calling for a new ‘“show” very time, When Botsford as a youth left Quincy, Tl to go on the stage, he attended the Sargent school of dramatic art.

Botsford played an occasional romantic juvenile lead, but when he married he gave up the stage for a less precarious livelihood. All of which is reported because Botsford, who resembles Roscoe Karns somewhat, may yet be seen on the screen, provided they keep on urging him to make a “short” of his toastmastering routine.

As the camera could make no dis- tinction between clever imitations and genuine trinkets, the studio decided to borrow real ones and thus confident of their authentic- ity, let the camera do what it will with them. Precautions include the employ- ment of a special man and woman to ‘““frisk” all extras working on the set before they leave. But the young jewelry men who transport- ed the gems from the east are very casual about them. Nonchalance not only is their best protection, but two further safeguards keep them from worry: one is the heavy insurance, the other is the fact that each separate stone is card- indexed in police files, so thorough- ly that none but an amateur holdup man would attempt to seize them. - Japan Heavy Buyer Of Iren and Steel WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.—Ex- | ports of scrap iron and steel from this country in the {first nine! months of this year are reported | by the Commerce Department - the largest for any similar p‘rbtl in 'history, with Japan {n> prin. clpal buyer.
