A supporting cast of Ann Dvor- ak, Alan Baxter, Wynne Gibson, |Harold Huber, Charles Trowbridge, | Maxie Rosenbloom, Fred Kohler, | Sr., and many other excellent play- ers, does much to aid Bickford in | his portrayals. i The picture opens with Rnckyi ‘Thorpe, notorious gangster, direct- ing the activities of his gang, even though he is in prison. He uses a short wave radio set, and a bribed guard to get messages through to| his henchmen. Franklin, a New York officer with an amazing like- ness to Thorpe, convinces the dis- trict attorney that he could take ! Thorpe's place, learn the activities of the gang, and gather enough ev- {idence to send them all to prison.

Unusual Artist Lambert is an unusual artist in an- other sénse. He is bordering on suc- cess, and making his living solely with his paints, but unlike most artists who have even in a small degree “arrived,” Lambert is young. He is- 33 yeras old, lean of body. red of face, vigorous of jaw and wears his brown mop of wild hair short and bristling, reflecting his vibrant personality. Medium height, you meet him dressed in forest green knee britches, leather boots, wool socks and forest green shirt open at the front. He prides himself on being “one of the boys” in the backwoods count- ry and he doesn't care for frills. His portrait work is' commendable, and yet he wants none of that. “You have to travel in society, go to tea parties, be a politician, and all that sort of thing,” Ted to paint on a cold day, Lambert | SHE WANTS— this agile Tamara Toumanova, a dancing star Eyes.” Says Tamara: “I want to be simple, sincere, kind and nice.” Pictured in a festive mood with Carole Lombard, Clark Gable, screen actor, was recently set free by his wife, Maria, who obtained a divorce in' Las Vgeas, Nev.
