Beginning Monday the Allen thea. tre announces the showing of "Stran- ger Than Fiction," Katherine Mac- Donald's latest release through As- soclated First National Pictures, Ine. "Stranger Than Fictfon" has been filmed from the original story by Charles Richman and A. 8, LeVino and was directed by J. A. Barry, In 'many respects it is radically different from the type of stories in which the screen -beauty has previously appear- ed. since it combines the elements of humor, suspense and dramatic tens sion with the necessary settings in which Miss MacDonald may have full scope to display her charms, The remarkable rise to popwiarity of Katherine MacDonald is largely at- tributed to the sheer beauty and his- tronie ability of the star; but un- doubtedly the seléétion of her stories has been a great factor. According to advance reports "Stranger Than Fiction" hes turned out to be the type of story which ideally fits her. As Diane Drexel, wealthy society girl, Miss MacDonald has a role of unique appeal. She is introduced when giving a'society ball at her home in order to screen a motion pie- ture in which she has played the leading part. Her fiance, good na- tured and rich, but hopelessly aim- less, is anxious to set the date for their marriage, but this she refuses to do until he has a set purpose in Mfe. The opportunity for her ad- mirer, which part is played by David Winter, to have a career comes rither unexpectedly when the notor- fous' Black Heart Gang make a wholesale loot of the jewels and valu- ables under the very noses of the Drexel guests. . Winter, as Dick Mason, decides that he will unearth the gang, and sels out to find them. Diane prom- izes that she will marry him when he brings the offenders of the law to justice. When she considers what a difficult proposition Dick is up against, she regrets that he hes uns dertaken such a hard job to prove himself worthy of her. The plot then becomes more complex and leads the pretty Diane into the very lair of the Black Heart Gang. The smashing élimax comes when the leader of the Black Heart Gang, in order ta escape, flies an aeroplane from the roof of the building, Dick Mason leaps aboard just as the ° is taking off, Then follows of the most exciting air battles ever seen on the screen. A rescue from & burning plane in mid-air is but one of the thrills that add zest to this incident. . Among the supporting caat is Wes- ley Barry, the freckle-faced little fel- low of "Dinty" fame, who, in "Stran- ger Than Fiction," plays an interest- ing and humorous part as "Freckles," a litle street urchin taken into the home of the Drexel's. Others in the cast are Wade Boteler, Jean Dumont, Harry O'Connor, Eve- lyn Burns, "and Tom MeGuire. "Stranger Than Fiction" will re- .
