THEATRE Although “Ladies Love Brutes” is the title of the new George Bancroft picture, this popular star, in his in- terpretation of:-Joe Forziatti, the millionaire “skyscraper King,” ‘can hardly be called a brute. For in‘this latest Paramount picture, while Ban- croft is still the two-fisted, domi- neering he-man of the screen, he is also gentle and kind, a man who rises to great heights of character through his overpowering love for a woman far above his social station in life. This role of Joe Forziatti is one of subtle shading, of mood, a vitally in- teresting characterization easily the most fascinating Bancroft has -por- trayed in some time: ie ) Too, the quality. of brute falls somewhat by the wayside in the pres- ence of the aristocratic beauty and low pitched musical voice of Ban- croft’s new leading lady, the stately, beautiful Mary Astor, making her first appearance on the audible screen, It is Miss Astor undoubtedly who tempers this roaring giant os an “Thunderbolt” with her majestic calm. Not, most assuredly, that she robs Bancroft of ‘any of ‘his virile characteristics, but. rather that she gtacefully subdues -his two-fisted tac- tics to a more even and convincing mode. It seems rather obvious \too that Miss Astor is the most accom- Plished actress to play opposite this star, or at least, the most sensitively attuned to his dymanic personality. As the result of her excellent work has signed Miss Astor to a long term contract, a.bit of news that is sure to be well received. - - ? pis The dramatic situation of “Ladies Love Brutes” arg. further developed through the fact ‘that Miss Astor as the socially prorninent* Mimi Howells her husband.
