Seven years and 49 pictures’ worth—but she’s just turned 21. Being 21, she says, is. no different from being 20 or 19 or 17. At least she hasn't found any difference yet. And no wonder, be- cause she’s been in Hollywood and of Hollywood since she was 14 years old, fibbing about her age to play leading ladies, and playing mostly all alike, that she finally reached the point all little gi ch in her situation, i. e., where career doctors pre- scribe the “N York cure.” Pat took it,—and she hopes it “took.” “At least I found oul things about myself, encouraging things,” she “I found a lot of people knew who I was.

A few years ago, when she was playing sappy ingenues and wearing sophisticated, more severely tailored clothes, she looked older than she does now, (At 21 a movie gal can afford to look young.) Her New York and success, to our surprise, was as a singer.

Last seen together several years ago in Paramount’s “Pick Up,” the two stars are reunited in much the same type of film as their original venture. It is a romance of the city streets, with Miss Sydney as a de- partment store girl who hungers for the right kind of love, and Raft as a casual drifter who awakens to his real self in the pleading arms of the | girl who loves him. The story deals with the struggles of Miss Sidney and Raft to keep an ideally happ marriage together, despite their extreme poverty, and Miss Sidney's secret knowledge that she is an ex-convict, out on parole, and forbidden connubial rights. When the time comes that Miss Sidney cannot keep her past a secret any longer, she confes all to Raft. Bitterly disillusioned, he leaves her despite all her pleadings to the con- trary, and joins the old gang to re- ! new his halted career in crime. Per- suading several of his ex-convict friends to join him, he plans a big robbery. However, Miss Sidney is tipped off, and knowing that this means the end of everything for her husband, reveals her knowledge of Junsau’s Greatest Show Value Starfing Tonight America's two great dramatic stars bring you the searing story of love on parole !
