THEATRE JTHEY STARTED A DANCE CRAZE THAT SWEPT THE EDDIE NUGENT- ISABEL JEWELL A REPUBLIC PI LAST TIMES TONIGHT TICKET TO PARADISE y cfure ALS All-American Toothache Dreamland Snapshots GLAMOUR QUEEN OF HISTORY IN CAPITOL DRAMA Noted Feet Dance Through Entertaining Film at Coliseum A queen whose Gestinies was writ- ten before she was born—and whose forordained tragedy established her as one of the most glamorous wo- men of all time—is portrayed at the Capitol Theatre, starting Sun- day, by Katharine Hepburn in the title role of RKO Radlo’s “Mary of Scotland,” which co-stars Fredric| March, as the Earl of Bothwell. The treachery, the murders, the, political manuevering to control her marriages, the whispered slander| branding her an immoral murder- ess that helped blast her from her| throne, and all the dramatic inci-| dents traced in the film were made| inevitable because two blood rela- tives were born with the taint of] illegitimacy—Elizabeth of England, her cousin, and James Stuart, Earl| of Moray, her half brother. The lovely Scotswoman was a constant threat to Elizabeth. She held a hereditary claim to the Eng-f lish crown, and many powers with- in and without England were eager to give Mary her cousin’s throne. Hence she became the target for Elizabeth’s plotting, pawn in the cleverest intrigue of the age. Be- cause the illegitimate Moray could) never become king, but only satisfy his lust for power by becoming re-! gent, Mary was met with murder,| slander, and intrigue under her own | roof, to the end that she might be driven out or subjected to his will. The machinations of these two! implacable opponents who finally allied themselves against the hap- less beauty are concentrated in the screen play much as they were by Maxwell Anderson in his stage hit from which it was taken. Colorful romance is drawn from Mary Stu- art’s reckless love for Bothwell,' which finally gave her enemies the chance to dethrone her. Florence Eldridge plays Elizabeth. Ian Keith plays Moray, and John Carradine, Rizzlo, in the huge sup- porting cast of forty principals. With tuneful meiodies, a spark- ling cast and a troupe of musical neadliners, “Musical Feet,” a Re- public picture, will open Sunday at the Coliseum Theatre. Topped by a novel and entertaining plot, this adaptaticn of the novel by the same name, written by Rob Eden, keen author of the younger generation,| is said to be one of the season’s| gayest musical comedies. | Two musical numbers now being played by every leading dance or-| chestra in the country were written | iby Sammy Stept esperially for this| feature. They are “Dancing Feet” and “Every Time I Look At You.”i Some of Hollywood’s most prom- | inent players were used in “Dancing | Feet.” They were picked not only for their acting ability but for their dancing and singing ability. Joan Marsh, attractive blonde actress, is seen in the feminine lead. Eddie Nugent, who plays opposite her, first appeared on the screen with Joan Crawford in “Our Dancing Daugh- ters.” He was formerly on the Broadway musical stage. Ben Lyon has a long line of stage and screen successes to his list. He recently played in Republic’s “Fris- co Waterfront.” R RS, Farmers who cross-breed Dure—‘ bred animals may thus wipe out gen- erations of intelligent livestock breeding, according to Professor A.

With the late King Albert she h posed for thousands of photographs, both formal and for the press, and has graciously “handed out” to the public her likeness for years. Queen Snaps Royalty But at the same time the Queen has taken thousands of photographs of her own, intimate scenes of roy- alty for the most part. She seldom has been without a camera on short trips near home or across the continent to distant lands. An interesting scene—the Queen stops—click—and another picture i added to the royal album. Most of these pictures never have been seen by anyone except mem- bers of the royal family or those especially close to the Queen. One of the first exceptions came in 1929 after the Queen returned from the Belgian Congo. Some 50 snapshots made by her were in- cluded in an album of souvenirs sold to obtain funds for various charit- able institutions in the Congo. | The second exception was last year during an exhibit in memory of the late Queen Astrid, a p.lic effort to, raise money for charity. | Queen Elizabeth contributed a group of pictures she had taken of Queen Astrid and her children in Laeken Castle gardens, Stuyvenbersg farm and of the seashore. as Released for Charity { Few photos have been released for publication, and then only of the royal children. In most instances there has been a charitable motive involved. il { Since the death of King Albert, | it was said in court circles, the| dowager Queen has turned more and more to her photographs which in- clude scores of her husband Historians regard the Queen’s| reproductions as precious documents | to be guarded for posterity, since| they include genuine touches of the intimate side of the life of all mem- bers of the royal family for more than a half century. { o maar SRl | | Here IS Newest - in Skating Togs By ~IICE MAXWELL PARIS, Jan. 16.—Velveteen shorts | have appeared here as something| new in winter skating togs.
