Coupled with it is the tense dramatic situa- tion of a young r->n accused of mur- der, whose acquittal hinges on the doubtful throw of a pair of crooked dice. Pauline Fredericks’ performance, of course, is superb, and she is as- sisted. by an excellent supporting cast numbering such accomplished players as Claire Windsor, the beau- tiful blonde star of silent days; The- odore Von Eltz, Barbara Kent, Henry B. Walthall, Robert Elliott, Jameson ‘Thomas, George Hackathorne, Willie Fong and George Hayes. In 1909, President Theodore Roo- Sevelt rode 98 miles in 17 hours on horseback. Three horses were used for the trip which was from Wash- ington to Warren, Vs., and return. The most dangerous times of the ay and night in the streets of Lon- don are 11 a. m., 4 p.m.,7 p. m, and 41 p. m—the last being the worst. gigs a es aa joa MOVIES ‘Baby Face’ Exciting With ’ Barbara Stanwyck Barbara Stanwyck in the title role is certain to thrill and delight her old steadfast admirers, and win a legion of new followers, in her newest War- ner Bros. production, “Baby Face,” which has its local premiere at the Paramount theater today. The central elaracter of “Baby Face” is one of those tremendous roles that offers to any dramatic star cap- able of handling such a part, opport- unities for inspiring work. Born in the slums of a steel mill town, reared in the squalid atmos- phere of a speakeasy, Lily (Baby Face) has no illusions about men, love or marriage. Life and an old |German have taught her that it ts ithe strong who take and the weak |who give. With nothing but supteme confidence in her own feminine ap- peal to the opposite sex and a grim determination to make them pay for her smiles, Lily invades New York and the world of business. In the years that follow, many men lose their heart to her. Lily accepts their devotion, their money and |jewels and moves steadily on from one admirer to another—careless of the tragedy and scandal she leaves behind her. Her supreme coup, how- ever, is her conquest of the young bank president whose predecessor in the institution was her prey for years. Then the drama of “Baby Face” takes an unexpected turn and crashes to a denouement that furnished a surprising and unsurpassed climax. T is difficu’t to say at what point, more.than at any other, Miss Stan- | wyck is most superbly convincing. She is @ pathetic, vividly forlorn figure as the little waitress in her step-fath- er’s beer flat, fighting off the mill workers who would paw her every time she passes a table. She becomes Ancreasingly dazzling one success to an- ~hurtive questionable career she out for herself after her THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, AUGUST 31, 1933 : Toes THE GUMPS—SUNSHINE AND SE R : WAN PLAYED THE GAME FAIR AND SQUARE— 8-3) FRECKLES AND HIS FRIENDS : Beecces HAS FOUND | OUT, FROM | THE MAN IN) THE SIGNAL | _ Tower, THAT.
