The cast features Ruth Chatterton, H. B. Warner and John Loder in the leading roles. The story has been adapted to the screen from 8ir James M. Barrie's famous stage success entitled “Hali an Hour” by William de Mille, who also directed the film. Of cutstanding merit is the faith- ful reproduction afforded by the Paramount Quality Sound method emploved to record the human voice. As in the case of “Interference,” the | sensational film which played here recently, the reproduction is tech- nically and dramatically perfect. Gone are the flaws heretofore asso- ted with other talking pictures. ‘The Doctor's Secret” could not be improved upon at this stage of the game. The co-feature will present that noted comedy team, Karl Dane and George K. Arthur in their cargo of laughs, “China Bound.” Beginning Sunday for four days the Capitol will offer Victor McLag- len in his first all talkie “The Black ‘Watch " Coming soon is Night.
