Fearing to lose her and the million-dollar business for which her broadcasts are responsible, the country's wash-cloth king picks the name of Jim Davey from her fan mail to provide a romance for her.

In the cast are Noel Francis, Donald Dillaway and Noel Madison, Stanley Theater Screen actors have found them selves in many strange situations during the filming of thousands of pictures in Hollywood's history, but no assignment was so bizarre as the experience of a group of Chinese atmospheric players in "I Cover the Waterfront," showing today and tomorrow at the Stanley Theater. They were paid to be modern Jonahs, only instead of whales, they had to live Inside huge sharks! This fantastic situation, which in reality is not as fantastic as it sounds, according to authorities who for years have been combating the smuggling of Chinese Into California, was necessary to fit the story action in the picture based on Max Miller's best-selling book, "I Cover the Waterfront." Ben Lyon, playing opposite Claud-ette Colbert, has the role of a reporter who aids Federal men in running down a gang of pseudo-fishermen, headed by Ernest Tor-rence, whose real racket is smuggling Chinese into the United States. After landing hordes of the undesirable aliens under the very noses of the authorities, the mystery finally is solved. The Chinese board and destroy the evidence in case of pursuit and capture by U.

S. Coast Guard boats), the Chinese extras were enabled to breathe by means of a gas mask contrivance, attached to rubber tubes running to the opened Jaws of the dead monsters. Outside of having to burn their clothes and scrub themselves thoroughly after emulating Jonah, the Oriental actors suffered no ill effects as a result of the unique experience. Fortunately, It was not necessary to film re-takes, for the Chinese, through interpreters, insisted: "No want do again." Also showing with "I Cover the Waterfront" is Zane Grey's outdoor thriller, "Mysterious Rider." Sunday and Monday the Stanley presents "International House" and "Out All Night." The former boasts an unusual all-star cast, including in its list of actors and actresses Peggy Hopkins Joyce, Shari Maritza, Stuart Erwln, W. C.

Fields, Rudy Vallee, Baby Rose Marie, Cab Calloway and hosts of other screen and stage luminaries. "Out All Night" a very funny comedy about a huge lad who is babied and babied by his gushing mother. Slim Summerville is the babied young man and Laura Hope Crewes is the mother.

CLUB" I Sal. with GEORGE BAFT I I I And HI 10 Currently, the Fox is presenting as its film fare the new Slim Sum merville-Zasu Pitta co-starring comedy, "Her First Mate." New York Theatergoers saw this on Broadway as a stage play titled "Salt Water," by Dan Jarrett and John Golden. Tailored by the Hollywood film shops to the measure of Summerville and Pitts, the farce is -said to have gained immeasurably in laughs and speed. It has been ranked ahead of "They Just Had to Get Married" and "Out All Night," the previous Summer-ville-Pitts vehicles, for insane, delirious, breathless fun.

As an added screen feature, the Fox Is showing Dave (Big Boy) Hutton, Almee's man, telling "My Side of the Story." The short is a prelude to Hutton's appearance in person on the Fox stage next week. Aimee Semple McPherson is scheduled to appear at a Broadway theater at about the same time, and some unprogrammed tun is almost certain to eventuate. Alhee Theater "One Man's Journey," new starring vehicle for Lionel Barrymore, which comes to the RKO Albee tomorrow, offers a notable cast and a pretentious production for a beautifully told human Interest drama. In the stellar role is Lionel Barrymore, contributing a splendid characterization of the story, which has so long awaited for star like Barrymore who could really make it live. The cast includes such fine artists as May Robson, Joel McCrea, Dorothy Jordan and Frances Dee.

Miss Jordan offvrs an intense characterization as a waif reared by Barrymore. McCrea is seen as his son, with Miss Dee romantically opposite him. Miss Robson portrays Barrymore's housekeeper. On the Albee stage a fine, diversified program has been arranged, with Venita Gould, the impressionable, and Block and Sully, Broadway favorites, headlining the bill. Other fine artists include the three Rio Brothers with their campus humor, the 24 Albee American Beauties in the Leopard Adagio Dance which has created such a furor and which features Richard Camp and Betty Moore, and Phil Fabello and his Music Masters.

Loew's Bay Ridge Clive Brook, George Raft, Alison Skipworth and Helen Vinson are co-featured in "Midnight Club," one of two features on view at Loew's Bay Ridge today, tomorrow and Sunday. The story is a breathless, rapid-fire tale of London society, upperworld and underworld, and centers about the efforts of an American detective to break up a great Jewel-theft ring which has been preying with impunity on lords and commoners alike. Much of the action of the piece takes place in the supper club which the gang uses as" a "front" for Its operations.

In bringing this remarkable action to' the screen, the film company, under the direction of James Cruze, the man responsible for "The Covered Wagon," "Old Ironsides" and other epical productions, cruised the high seas off the California coast until it encountered a school of huge sharks. After a battle lasting for hours and while cameras and sqund equipment recorded the action, harpoon-ers succeeded in landing several of the monsters, some of them 25 feet long and weighing three tons. These "elephant" sharks are among the largest found any place on the globe, and this particular school was the biggest ever known in California. Returning more than 100 miles to the waterfront location at the port of San Pedro, where the United States battle fleet, and the U. S.
