THE DAILY AEASKA'EMPIRE, FRIDAY, DEC. 21, 1934.' TENSE DRAMA bl Bl TR JIMMY AND JOAN TOGETHER AGAIN § iz a Different Thrilling Dramatic Story {Joan Blondell and James | Cagney Co-star in “He Was Her Man” James Cagney's familiar “sock lon the lady's jaw” is missing, and | Joan Blondell, as a sorry street | Camille, is never given a chance to dawzle by her usual display of | feminine pulchritude, set-off by gorgepus gowns, but both of these sterling actors score a distinct tri- |umph in the very unusual drama “He Was Her Man,” which opens | its regular run at the Capitol The- | ater tonight. ’ Cagney rises to really great | heights—and shows himself wor- | thy of the acclaim he has received {—by his acting of this role, which | somehow he manages to make sym- pathetic. Miss Blondell continues to be the | same “wise-cracking” girl made fa- {mous in “Convention City,” “Ha- vana Widows,” “Smarty” and oth- |er recent productions, but this | time she avoids comedy, and shows | her versatility by making the street girl truly convincing.
