v/ THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, AUGUST 29, 1931 « Interesting Pen Impres- sion of the Coming Attractions on... THE LOCAL SCREEN | Who's Who & Whats What in the Amuse- ment World Ruth Chatterton's new Hit Tops Star's Recent Dramas Ruth Chatterton, who has con- tributed at least four of the out- standing screen dramas of the past two years, comes to the fore - again. with a picture that rivals for dramatic greaness 'Sarah and Son," "Anybody's Woman," "The Right to Love" or "Unfaithful. It is "The Magnificent Lie," which opens a two-days' run at the Re- gent Theatre next. Bach of Chatterton's charac- terizations has demanded the ul- timate in acting talent from the distinguished 4ctress, but none has called for such a complete newness of spirit and tempo as does "The Magnificent Lie." Chat- terton sings one song in the de- velopment of the story. "The Magnificent Lie," based on the novel by Leonard Merrick, "Laurels and the Lady," presents Miss Chatterton as a New Orleans cafe singer, a charming person who deals lightly with life and men. A laughing wager that she can impersonate a famous French actress, at that moment the toast of New Orleans, leads her to im- pose upon Ralph Bellamy, a sin- cere young lumberman. Bellamy, who has been captiv- ated by the voice of the French actress, is easily deluded by Chat- terton. He falls madly in love with her, and, in spite of herself, she falls in love with him. She hasn't the courage to disillusion him, and plays a part. Bellamy discovers the deception. Their love is put to the supreme test. Ralph Bellamy who supports Chatterton in 'The Magnificent Lie," is well known the country over as a stock player. Recently he played leading roles in success- ful New York productions and he is now on Paramount's featured list, considered by picture execu- tives to be a new male screen "find." He is young, handsome, talented. The picture, which was direct- ed by the celebrated European stage director and playwright, Berthold Viertel, includes in its cast Stuart Erwin, playing his first dramatic role, Sam Hardy, and a pair of players popular on the Parisian stage, Francoise Ro- say and Charles Boyer. NURSES STAY IN BOSTON Canadians At Hospitals Will Not Be Dis- charged Boston.--Governor Joseph B. Ely used one short sentence to reply to Frank A. Goodwin's charge that aliens who are most- ly Canadians were employed il- legally in state institutions. "I am of the opinion that the law is not retroactive and that the dismissal of the employes is not required," Governor Ely said. Goodwin said in letter to Ely that Dr, George H. Gigelow, State Commissioner of Public Health, and Dr. George M. Kline, Commissioner of the Department of Mental Diseases, were violat- ing laws requiring that citizens be given preference in state and municipal institutions. Because of similar charges re- cently preferred by City Council- man John F. Dowd a score of Canadian nurses, some of whom had seen long service were dis- missed from Boston City hos- pitals.

THREW AWAY BANK NOTES Stole Money and Flung It About The Street London.--The unusual spect- acle of a man throwing away bank notes with which hundreds of visitors were greeted was seen in a main street at "Torquay. It was alleged that when pur- sued by a shop assistant the man threw away the notes, and when being escorted to the police sta- tion he dropped a cheque and postal orders. George Elliott Hosie, aged 49, of no fixed abode, was remanded, charged' with stealing $215 from a pawnshop. He was sald to have been seen behind the counter of the shop of Mrs. Mary Wills, in Market street, by an assistant, who ask- ed him what he required. He re- plied, "A pair of boots!" and then jumped over the counter and left the building. The assistant followed him, and later it was found that money was missing from a safe. Most of the money was recov. ered with the help of the people in the street, Some women are' passing fair and some are passed. ~ "Brothers," the thrilling play, which scored a tremendous suc- cess on Broadway and on* the road, has been adapted to the screen by Columbia Pictures into a thrilling motion picture. As a film it is even greater than the play because the limitations of the stage have been removed. Bert Lytell, who played in the stage drama, is starred in his original role. He renders a clev- er dual impersonation. "Brothers' presents a striking and intelligent psycho-analysis of the effect that envirgnment has upon two brothers who are en- dowed at the start with equal her- editary gifts. Bert Lytell plays the dual roles of Eddie Connolly, waterfront character, and Bob Naughton, wealthy young lawyer. Taken from a foundling hospital infan- cy, a twin is brought up in ex- tremes of environment. The poor boy emerges as a good-natured, clean, healthy-minded individual while the other brought up in the lap of 'luxury is dissipated and dissolute. Naughton's depravities culminate in the murder of his mistress' husband. Because of the physical resemblance Eddie Con- nolly, his twin brother, is mistak- en for the crime and he is arrest- ed. A brilliantly fought case frees Eddie from complicity in the crime. He is then called upon to impersonate his lawyer brother when Bob Naughton is taken to a sanitarium suffering a complete mental and physical collapse. While at the Naughton household, he falls jn love with Norma, his brother's fiancee, Unable to keep up the deception any longer, Ed- die decides to leave the Naughton house. Just as he makes this de- Bert Lytell Plays Dual Roles in Film "Brothers" cision, he learns of Bob's death. This leaves the road clear for him both in the matter of Norma's love and his future position in the wealthy home of the kindly Col- onel and Mrs, Naughton, Lytell's dual characterization of the brothers is amazing. His entire personality undergoes a complete transformation in voice, mannerisms and gait. Dorothy Sebastian gives a warm and hu- man portrayal in thg role of Nor- ma. Others who perform with distinction are William Morris, Claire McDowell and Richard Tucker. Walter Lang direcled with artistry. Don't mies "Bro- thers." It has everything in en- tertainment value.
