Not only is it sald to carry more thrill; and sensational episodes than many screen dramas, but it presents a triple romance of strange and glamorous loves. The picture is baszd on the navel by Robert E. Burns which caused so much com- ment recently, because of the in- credible revelations of chain gang pricon life. Suffers Tortures Driven to. desperation oy the tortures of the whipping post and other cruelties, the fugitive, por- trayed by Muni, makes his escape and crosses to andfher state after almost, unbelievable hardships. He made good under a new name only to be betrayed by a woman. He is returned to the chain gang only to escape again in one of the most exciting man hunts the screen has recorded in years. { There is no more touching fig- ure imaginable, than this fugitive, yearning for love and home, skulk- ing from place to place, not daring to show his face, a man without a country. Paul Munj, the famous “Scarface” of the screen, and not- ed" for his fine interpretation of character on the stage, is said to give his best performance as this fugitive. Glenda Farrell, who made such & hit in “Lifs Begins,” plays the role of the woman who betrays Burns, while Helen Vinson, is his real Jove. Preston Foster, Edward Mc- Namara, Sheila Terry, Allen Jen- kins and David Landau head a supporting cast which is one of the largest ever seen on the screen. There are 37 speaking roles, 53 “bit” parts and more than 2,000 extras. The screen play was adapt- ed by Sheridan Gibney and Brown Holmes and directed by Mervyn iLeRoy. “Miss Pinkerton” Tonight Joan Blondell, as a little nurse, ‘whose cleverness as a sleuth leads the police to call her in on a dif- ficult case, with her subsequent solving of the mystery, gives an excellent performance ‘in ‘‘Miss ‘.\‘hriam Jordan, aloof, dignified and | Exit Miriam and Enter Gay Mimi — My How that Jordan Girl Has Changed f | By ROBBIN COONS | HOLLYWOOD, Cal, July 20.— very lady-like English blond, has|§ been thrown into the cinematic‘ discard by Mimi Jordan, capriciousig hoyden Mimi’s first step in the over- | throw of Miriam was to have Mir-' iam’s long golden tresses shorn into a winsome .golden bob. Her second was to replace Miriam’s seeming cold reserve with Mimi's { sparkle. The transformation, for screen i purposes, is complete.

With long hair I was i doomed to be the lady; with bob- bed hair I can still play the lady, but I won't be banned from other £ roles.” But Mimi, like Miriam, continues to pugsue her solitary way through the romantic rumor-fraught gaiety of filmland. She has a determined attitude against romantic rumors,! and insists she would rather be alone than run the risk of becom- ing ‘“engaged” in the gossip col- umns. | And This Is Why | There is a reason.
