That is plainly the unani- mous lict of the audience which was thrilled, fascipated and highly amused at the showing of this ex- traordinary, —unconventional, bi- arre motion picture fashioned by Warner Bros. from the plot of the stage play by the same name which enjoyed long runs in both London and New York. | Long famous for his portrayals of | ruthless criminals, Robinson has the | great fortune in this picture of being able to demonstrate the high order of his acting skill by enacting an engrossingly complex character | a Park Avenue doctor who spends | his days in the practice of medicine,| his nights in the practice of crime. | 'FOUR DIVORCES DISMISSED AS COURT MEETS.

CLITTERHOUSE" with CLAIRE TREVOR—HUMPHREY BOGART Hollywood Sights And Sounds By Bobbin Covas HOLLYWOOD, Cal., June 6.—There is fresh new laughter in and a good thing to hear. It belongs to Margot Steven~ on, a tiny young lady who kids herself T'he laughter enlivens things on the sound stage where John Garfield and Margot are making “Dust Be My Destiny,” a saga of young love pursued by the law. Margot is leading lady in it because Samuel Goldwyn enticed her . (from the New York theatre) for a role in “Music School” which subsequently went to Andrea Leeds. So Sam could lend Margot to Warner Bros., making Margol happy because she's alwvays wanted to work with Garfield, making €am happy because if she clicks ag he thinks she will he'll have a new star, with Warners grabbing the' cheek. Miss Stevenson is 24, five feet four inches tall, has blue-grey eyes, and a long bob she describes as “simply‘a dirt blonde.” She wears glasses off-screen because without them she can’t see more than four feet ahead. She’s as near-sighted ‘as Joan Bennett, who is often called high-hat because she doesn't recognize friends. The best description of Margot'’s éxuberant personality springs from this: “All waste time. say ‘Hi ya, kid!"

She is still black-and-blue from hopping moving box cars. She also had to milk a cow. Her technique was good but the results—in the pail— were not brag-worthy. (“They weren't contented cows, she ex- plains it.) Until her mother joins her, she is living alone in an apart- ment for the first time in her life. Cooking, too.

This activity, it is soon evident, springs from a desire to conform rather than from a passion for rug-making. (“Everybody does it—I suppose it's to keep from going crazy whilé waiting between scenes.”) She isn't very expert at it—rows don't come ot even. “But give ‘a girl enough rope--" she”insists, tugging on the 1 *formidable twine. . . .
