Shady Lady (Pathe). Pretty Phyllis Haver, wanted in Manhattan for murder, lives comfortably but not idly in a hotel in Havana, Cuba, where she falls in love with a rumrunner. Good atmosphere and acting almost succeed in turning into realism the neat melodramatics that make possible a happy ending. The picture is silent except for a final talking sequence and a theme song that goes "Shady Lady, Shady Lady! Girl of my dreams." Best shots?hotel life in Havana...

...Algonquin. Jed Harris has two shows on view, the profane and colorful newspaper show, "Front Page" and a not entirely successful fantasy, but a play like none other now in New York, "Serena Blandish", in which Ruth Gordon, A. E. Matthews and Constance Collier depict the languid game of love in Mayfair, seen by a singularly innocent young wanton. "Man's Estate" most recent of the Theatre Guild offerings, gives Margalo Gillmore and Earl Larimore a chance to thrash out the eternal question of a young man choosing between marriage and his life work...
