Irene Dunne in "The Awful Truth" at Alcyon Theatre A doubleâ€"feature program brings us two interesting pictures on Thursday and Friday at the Alcyon. Deep in China‘s interior proceeds the thrilling action of "West of Shanghai," the melodrama starring Boris Karloff, Beverly Roberts and Ricardo Cortez. :‘The second feaâ€" ture is "She ‘Married an Afl:fi" With clowning providedâ€" by m Boles and Luli Deste, Hollywood‘s new glamourâ€"import from Vienma, things start hamming at a nice rate just as soon as the picture starts, and refuse to let you take a breath until they‘re readyâ€"at the end.‘ America‘s No. 1 Family isn‘t among the socially prominent for politically powerful but consists rather of eight Hollywood screen playersâ€"the Jones Family of the screen. The Joneses‘ latest picture is hailed as the fastest and funâ€" niest of all their hits, reuniting Jed Prouty, Spring Byington, Shirley Deane and the rest of the cast. Reâ€" flecting in sincere and human fashâ€" ion the joys and sorrows of a typiâ€" cal American family, the Joneses stay right in the hearts of all movie fans. The Alcyon will present their latest film "Borrowing Trouble" on Saturday of this week. *4 "The Awful Truth," and the only thing awful about it is that it ends too soon, is so terrifically entertainâ€" ing that it keeps you laughing upâ€" roariously for seventyâ€"five minutes. Irene Dunne and Cary Grant are mainly responsible for this situaâ€" tion with their deft clowning and sideâ€"splitting antics. In a year of fine pictures, this was one of the best of the crop. The film will be enjoyed by the critical as well as the casual observer, largely because of its swift action, its clever lines and situations, its splendid acting, and its brilliant cast. Superlatives as a rule are a risky business, nevâ€" ertheless "The Awfual Truth" is a film of undiluted joy. On the Alâ€" cyon screen for Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
