GREAT FILM TO RETURN TO PALACE “Magnificent Obsession” Plays Re turn Date to Roxboro at Palace Theatre on Monday and Tuesday, June Ist and 2nd. The most fluid camera in Holly wood is that of Director John M Stahl, wh'ic latest Universal pro duction, “Magnificent Obsession,” comes to the Palace theatre on Mon day and Tuesday, June Ist and 2nd, with Irene Dunne and Robert Tay lor in the starring roles. For many years Stahl has special ized in the filming of domtestic dra ma, and has achieved a reputation in that field. “In ‘dialogue’ pictures,” says Stahl “the story is carried forward by the speech of the characters, rather than by swift exciting action. Thus the basic structure of the entire screen play is changed and the story must be treated differently by the cam era. A constant, abrupt flashing back and forth from one part of a room to another, for example, in terrupts the smooth flow of dialogue from the various characters, and the story becomes jumpy. ‘To maintain smoothness of ac tion, then, and to give the dialogue a chance to carry the story forward sweepingly, I strive to keep the camera in flowing motion, following various characters adroitly from one point to another without, in effect, interrupting their conversation. A man stops to speak with another at a certain point in a room, and then crosses the floor to speak to still a third man, beginning his conversa tion as he approaches. The camera follows all these movements, instead of chopping the action into short, jerky bits. “In a motion picture of this type* emotion takes the place of action. Such a screenplay requires vastly more attention to the creation of the story and to the convincing hu manness of its characters.” The dramatic story of “Magnifi cent Obsession” is said to be the screen’s outstanding example of poignant emotion, with the mysteri ous “obsession” exerting a power ful influence on the characters’ lives. The cast supporting Miss Dunne and Robert Taylor includes Charles But terworth, Betty Furness, Sara Ha iden, Ralph Morgan, Henry Armet ta and Gilbert Emery.

DIETRICH, COOPER TOGETHER AGAIN IN NEW PICTURE PALACE THEATRE, TODAY AND TOMORROW All screen lovers who count Mar- ■ lene Dietrich and Gary Cooper among their favorites have a rare treat waiting for them at the Pal ace Theatre, where the new Para mount romantic comedy, “Desire,” opens today. It is the first time this glamorous pair has been cast together since “Morocco.” Comedy, drama and adventure are expertly interwoven into the texture of this exciting and divert ing film, whsch the ro mantic adventures.that follow a sen sational jewiel robbery by a breath taking Continental beauty. The clever way in which Miss Dietrich purloins a costly string of pearls while the owner and a psychiatrist are going through a comedy of er rors, of her contriving, cannot be divulged as it would eliminate the ( surprise that attends this amusing situation. | The romance is bright, ardent, be jlievable. These screen lovers belong together. Director Frank Borzage certainly was perspicacious when he The “something” consists of first subjecting the victim to a series of “phoney” physical tests, which he passes with flying colors, and then the announcement that as a novice, he has to become an “F Man” for a probationary period before gradu ating to become a “G Man.” But ultimately and in spite of himsejf he does assist in the cap ture of Public Enemy No. 1 and wins the girl he loves. Jack Haley, in the title role, and William Frawley, as the real “G Man,” brings to the screen again the comedy talqnt which has won them fame. Grace Bradley and Ad rienne Marden furnish the romantic interest. But that’s a matter for the future, and meanwhile. Clinei and his two principle comedians, Jack Haley and William Frawley, secure highly comic results in “F Man.” Haley is cast as an innocent country boy who pesters the Department of Justice for a job as a “G Man,” and Frawley as an official he drives to despera tion. placed them first in a list he pre pared of the outstanding scrteen lov ers of all time. They belong at the top of the list, if only because of their brilliant performance in “De sire.” Fine work is done by thft mem bers of the supporting cast which includes John Halliday, William Frawley, Ernest Cossart and Alan Mowbray.
