“A Tale of Two
Cities” at Queen
Sunday-Monday
Ronald Colman waited seven
years to play Sydney Carton in “A
Tale of Two Cities,” the history-
making photoplay which comes to
the Queen Theatre Sumkay nnd'
Monday.
I For seven years he waited for a
producer to discover the romatic
I and dramatic merits of the great
Dickens novel. Finally his waiting
was rewarded when David O. Selz-

studio selected him to play the role.
"Seven years ago, in 1928, I told
a magazine interviewer I thought
the talking pictures would not have
a great permanency,” Colman said
with a sly twinkle. "There seems
to have been some Blight error
ubout that prediction.
“However, in the same interview
I mentioned that I believed, should
the talkies by any chance become
popular, there was one character
fuirly crying to be created, and that
character was Sydney Carton in
‘A Tale of Two Cities.’
“I have repeated the statement
publicly on several occasions. At
the risk of being considered unduly
immodest, I firmly believe that
this is not only the finest picture
in which I have appeared, but by
far the most human and interesting
character I have ever created.”
Until he began filming “A Tale
of Two Cities,” Colman never had
been known to visit a motion picture
set when he was not actually work-
ing. But during the entire period
of production of the new Dickens
feature there was never a day in
which he did not visit the set,
whether or not he was actually
working in the scenes being filmed.

THE LETTER OF THE LAW
It is still illegal in England to
make a mince pie, smoke a cigaret
in the street, play billiards Sunday,
or have a Christmas dinner of more
than three courses. These and many
other examples of obsolete laws
on the books were mentioned at a
Law Society conference which
recommended steps to bring old
legislation up to date.
Teacher: “Who were the three
wise men?"
Johnny: “Stop, Look and Listen!”
Sam Jackson, a thoroughly mar-
ried darky, was approached by a
life insurance agent.
"Better let me write you a policy,
Sam,” the agent suggested.
“No, sah.” declared Sam emphati-
cally. “Ah ain’t any too safe at
home as it is!”
