D My'Beauty Hint Sherlock Holmes Come‘s to Uptown Theatre in Study in Scarlet” When Arthur Conan Doyle as a young medical practitioner, set| up shop after his graduation, he‘ learned that patients did not flock | to the door of an unknown Pphy-| an—and that he had an un-| reasonably large amount of Mme‘ on his hands. Having a flair for | writing, Doyle toyed with the char- | acter of Sherlock Holmes, which | e long evolved as the ‘superw 1th” of fiction, Soon after, there | appeared in the Strand Maga- zine an amazing series of escapades known as “The Adventures of Sher- | lock Holm That was in 1881. oix years later | came “A Study in Scarlet,” Doyle's ‘nr»t sensational success with the | type of fiction in which he has never been excelled. Translated into many languages and famous | throughout the world, it won for its | author immediate recognition. Tt is this thrilling story, narrat- ing Sherlock Holmes' tracking down | | the identity and motives of a group known as the “Scarlet Ring.” that will provide sbundant excitement und envertainment to the patrons |of the Uptown Theatre where “A | Study in Scarlet” is now being pre- lisented. In the role of the shrewd, ana- | n the morning splash your face with iced water. It is stimulating and refreshing. ONE MORE RUSE SLIPPED ABOUT |trick appears Reginald Owen, the FOR 1935 Latest Flim-Flam ‘Celebrity Card’ By GEORGE TUCKER NEW YORK MEN |Higher-ups Run Up Against FOX-COMEDY SHARES BILL AT GOLISEUM Qhe Leamed About Sall< ors’ and ‘City Limits’ on i Fine Double Program | Here are five good reasons to see Fox Film’'s hilarious, comedy- romance, ‘‘She Learned About Sail- ors,” which opens at the Coliseum | Theatre this evening on a double bill which includes “City Limits.” 1. Alice Faye, beautiful blonde, playing the role of a smart girl| who sings in a night club in an | Asiatic Oriental seaport; 2. Lew Ayers, the champion heart breaker of the U. 8. Navy, | who takes shore leave at this port | and Talls like a ton of bricks for the fair Faye; . 3. Harry Green as Jose Ruben- | stein, a South American impresario, | visiting the same port, who besieges Faye with offers of an engagement in his hotel in South America; 4. and 5. Frank Mitchell and Jack Durant, America's greatest knockabout vaudeville and musical comedy funsters, portraying Lew's sailor buddies. They take it upon themselves to regulate and straight- en out the latter's romantic tangles with Alice Faye, thereby causing |no end of ludicrous complications. That’s the set-up and from ad- vance reports from the coast the film is one of the fastest, funniest and gayest films to be released from Hollywood. To add to the hi- larious comedy of the story, the film is tinged with spicy and zest- ful song numbers that promise to be real hits. Alice Faye sings “Here Is the Key to My Heart.” George Marshall directed the pic- ture from the screen play by Wil- liam Conselman and Henry John- son. Richard Whiting and Sidney Clare wrote the song numbers. e STARTS TONIGHT WORDS or WISDOM HIS ONLY WEAPONS! Against the murderous tricks of the world’s craf- tiest criminals!
