ROBERTS GETS - A great. follower of the current real life mysteries which appear in the newspapers, as well as the newest detective yarns, it was quite natural for Adolphe Menjou to take an immediate liking for his role of ‘Thatcher Colt,” in “The Circus Queen Murder,” a Columbia production showing to- night at the Strand Theater. When asked if he had ever con- sidered the profession of a detec- tive, Menjou replied that when a mere lad in his teens he had given it much thought but soon aband- oned it in favor of a career as a fireman, “Very interesting, this story,” he said. “And I have a lot of respect for its creator, Anthony Abbot, who used such ingenious methods in arranging its plot. Solving mysteries is one of my favorite pastimes and it was tural that I should be enthusiastic about this one. “TI took an uncanny delight in attempting the solution of the murder, which forms the basis of the picture’s plot, before finish- ing the script of the story. Al- though I wasn't successful in guessing the correst answer I came very close to it.” Greta Nissen, charming Norweg- ian-born actress, appears opposite Menjou, depicting the Cireus Queen.
