For here is a picture which combines romance of a stirring or- der with a clean-cut, forceful story of the war with the emphasis laid on the part played by the com- manders of the dangerous British two-ntan torpedo boats, known as the “skeeter fleet.” Three Men Involved Miss Crawford, who seems to grow more exciting in appearance with each succeeding vehicle, has a striking role as the aristocratic Epglish girl who cannot stand re- maining at home while her brother and the two men who love her are at the front. Franchit Tone, the brother, and Robert Young, the childhood sweetheart, are members {of the torpedo squad while Gary Cooper, who is closest to her heart, enrolls in the flying forces. In or- der to be near these three, Miss Crawford becomes a member of a British ambulance unit. It is when Cooper is reported killed that the hysteria of the war forces Miss Crawford to give her- self to the man who has loved her from childhood. Cooper’s unex- pected return precipitates a stir- ring dramatic climay. The picturc is brought to a smashing close when two men give up their lives in the sinking of a ship in order to save Cooper for the girl whom they all love. In “Today We Live,” Miss Craw- ford offers what is probably the finest work of her entire career, and she is ably seconded by Coop- er, the scenes between these two rising to a new high in the way of fervid romances. Roberf Young as the lover who loses out offers a distinctive and sympathetic por- trayal, and Franchot Tone as the brother proves to be a new talkie “find.” Excellent performances are contributed by Roscoe Karns, the inimitable Louise Closser Hale, Rol- lo Lloyd and Hilda Vaughn.

Embrace—-Dorothea Weick Certamly a Kzssless Star By ROBBIN COONS ' HOLLYWOOD, Jan. —Dora-! thea Wieck, after three films, re-| mains Hollywood's kissless star. ] In “Maedchen in Uniform” | has no love interest, in “Cra.dle‘ Song” she portrays a nun, and in “Miss Fane’s Baby Is Stolen,” her] latest, the only love motif is sup-‘ plied by Baby Leroy. ‘ ‘The picture, it's true, does open with a “clinch,” but it's a matter | of fact embrace bestowed upon an| actress by an actor for a movle;' scene, and Miss Fane, the movie | star, in her off-screen life has no “leading man.” | Dorothea’s next vehicle is not‘ yet selected, but it is considered | improbable that she will enter her| third Hollywood picture without a | romantic partner. | CUTTING-ROOM BITS “Moulin Rouge” offers spectacu- lar sequences in a stage presenta- tion without recourse to such de- vices as whisking the beholder | away on magic carpets to gngantlc1 sets that no stage could hold. The scenes presented on this movie stage could have been done behind | a Broadway proscenium as they| were supposed to be. Critics have spoken of certain pictures as being boldly advertised | as “The Impossible Picture.” Andw speaking of titles, theres’ a Slim | Summerville - ZaSu Pitts comedy labelled “Two Clucks.” CHRISTMAS ECHOES | Now that the stellar Christmas’ cards have all drifted in, it's amus- ing that among the more impres- sive were two that used sueh con- trasting materials’ as white velvet and red-and-white ehecked ging- ham. The white velvet offering, adorn- ed in silver and black, came from Wesley Ruggles and Arline Judge (with a “me too” from Charles Wesley, the baby), and the ging- ham girl was Constance Bennett— who doesn’t ‘wear it, need we add? Another Yuletide echo tells of the odd gift Constance Cummings re- ceived from a fan in Vermont, a woodsman. A 4-inch Christmas tree, perfect in detall, it came packed in moss in a pint jar. And to the same star came on | Christmas morning, from her Scot- ty, “Snoopy,” the gift of five pup- pies! —r Stowing away on a ship was made a jail offense by the last ses- sion of the Hawalian territorial legislature. DORQTHEA WIECK " There’s no romantic interest in Dorothea Wieck’s piotures so far, the German actress’ three starring films being devoid of the love motif. ‘MISS HELEN HILLERY BECOMES BRIDE OF WALTER WILSON HERE Miss Helen Bernice Hillery, of Skagway, and Walter Edward Wil- son, of this city, were united in | marriage at 8:30 o'clock Saturday evening at a ceremony performed in the presence of a few friends, by the Rev. David Waggoner, at the | latter’s residence. The bride and groom were at- tended by Mr. and Mrs. Willlam Markle, sister and brother-in-law of Mr. Wilson, at whose fiome a reception was held and refresh- ments served, following the cere- mony. ‘The young couple will make their future home in Skagway, where Mrs. Wilson was born, and her father, who is a conductor with the ‘White Pass and Yukon Route, still resides. As a happy remembrance of the occasion, the Reverend Waggoner took photographs of the bridal party and the guests. e — WOMEN OF MOOSE POSTPONE CARD PARTY UNTIL FEB.

And an equally great benefactor was the man_(or more likely woman) who conceived the scheme of making towels as colorfully attractive as they are bathingly serviceable. Alpng about this time of the year, towels also have their plan of moving from hargain counters to thrifty closets, Linen, handkerchiefs and blankets also beckon the eye and. prices soothe the pocketbook.

GIVE COLORFUL TOUGH TO FILM Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. Is Star in “The Narrow Corner”” Coliseum ‘‘Short thereof is man’s life; and narrow is the corner of the earth wherein he dwells,” says Somerset Maugham in his novel, “The Nar- row Corner.” Warner Bros. pic- ture of the same title which is \playing at the Coliseum Theatre, and is fashioned from this theme. It is a strange tale, this, full of the color of strange places and strange people—and yet at bottom, as are all the characters of a Som- erset Maugham story, these people are vibrant with the same life we all live. They act and move and feel just as we all do. ‘The story opens in Sidney, Aus- tralia, with a wealthy man sending his son away, secrefly, in the night, aboard an old ketch with an out- law skipper—bound for nowhere, told only to keep moving, and not to get too near to a habitation ‘where white men might be. Tt winds up in a colorful island of the Malay Archipelago among as strange an assortment of human beings as it would be possible to meet, including a retired sea cap- tain, wealthy from heaven knows what deviltries on the‘seven seas, his son-in-law and granddaughter, an innocent girl of primitive pas- sion, and a Dutch trader. The picture is a triumph in ex- citing and thrilling plot, in unique characterizations and in its exotic glamorous and picturesque settings. The strangé characters are delin- eated with unusual fidelity and strength by the members of an all- star cast. Douglas Fairbangs, Jr., has never been better than he is in the es- caping young Australian, wanted for the murder of his paramour’s | husband. Dudley Digges as Dr. Saunders, an opium-smoking out- cast, is a revelation; Reginald Ow- en, William V. Mong and Ralph Bellamy are all better than this reviewer ever remembers having seen them before. The surprise of the picture, how- ever, is the work of youthful Pat- ricia Ellis in the role of fhe girl, Louise. A comparative newcomer to the screen, her acting is flaw- less. Her talent, beauty and charm from a screen play by Robert Pres- nell, has done a splendid job, for he keeps the story going at a never lagging" pace. No oné who cares for strange romances in picturesque settings, or for mad and thrilling adventure, should miss “The Narrow Corner.” —_—rTTr— Sterilization or Segregation Plans for Swedish Unfit| STOCKHOLM, Jan. 22.—A bill providing for compulsory sterili- zation or segregation of mentally unfit in Sweden will come before the Riksdag in February.
