Hollywood Sights And Sownds By Rebbin Conas “STRONGER THAN DESIRE.” Screenplay by David Hertz and William Ludwig from novel by W. E. Woodward. Directed by Leslie Fenton. Cast: Virginia Bruce, Walted Pidgeon, Lee Bowman, Ann Dvorak, a Chase, Rita Johnson, Ferike Boros. HOLLYWOOD, Cal., July 12.—In 1934 Myrna Loy and William Powell followed up their phenomenal success in “The Thin Man” with a movie called “Evelyn Prentic and here again, virtually unchanged five years later except it is, all over for different re “Evelyn Prer ' did well as a follow-up to success, the present re-make has no such hit to capitali: Standing on its own, it is a well-acted, nicely directed piece of domestic-courtroom melodrama, with little or nothing to dis- tinguish it aside from its en ing cast and usually effective pres- entation. The material is shop-worn. team’s on. The busy, successful attorney (Pidgeon) is devoted to his wife (Bruce) but has no time for romance. Involved aginst his will with a pretty client (John- son), he is thrown into bad enough light that his wife is led further than she intended into a flirtation with a charming, smooth-talking blackmailer (Bowman). Just when attorney and wife have patched up their troubles and are ready to sail, second-honeymooning, for Europe, the black- mailer strikes. The wife, going to his apartment to forestall his tactics, scuffles with him and there is the inevitable bullet. Fleeing, believing herse!f guilty of murder, she learns that the victim’s browbeaten wife (Dvorak) is accused. She talks her husband into forgetting Europe, undertaking the defense. Finally “Come and Get It Has a Special Meaning Tasty food, efficient service and an atmosphere fruly home-like sound the old call of “Come and Get It"” . . . aPEFRCY’S —at the trial—she speaks up, taking the blame. This puts hubby on the spot, and he stands there squarely, as good movie hushands do, until all is smooth sailing again. Miss Dvorak (where’s she been?) clicks in the trial scene and Miss Boros, in a single sequence, is delightful. “FHE SAINT IN LONDON.” Screenplay by Lynn Root and Frank Fenton from story by Lesli¢ Charteris. Directed by John Paddy Carstairs. Cast: George Sanders, Saliy Gray, David Burns, Gordon McLeod, Henry Oscar, Athene Seyler, John Abott, Ralph Truman, Charles Carson, Carl Jaffe, Norah Howard, Ballard That man's here again—for the third time. For the present adventures, here is in London, where the film was made by RKO. The Saint, as detective fiction readers know, is a smooth individual who goes about, Robin Hood-like, leading a charmed life the while, and foils criminals—usually himself under sus- picion by the police. The Saint gets on the trail of a gang of international crooks who are maneuversing for a million-pound stake. He picks up two confederates in his fight on crime: Dugan (Burns) who is an ex-convict and Penny (Miss Gray) who is a y girl hungry for adventure. Penny alternately aids and hinders, unwittingly, the Saint's wily tactics—and does it so charmingly, with such pleasant blonde beauty and skill that she’ll doubless come to Hollywood. The Saint, with customary daring and quiet suavity, walks into death traps and escapes blithely, leaves notes around, tangles with Scotland Yard, fights and shoots, speaks in cryptic sentences, rounds up the crooks, and escapes (as always) the heroine’s romantic objective. It's good fun, with action to spare. in | | role of Cupid is absorbin; THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, WEDNESDAY, JULY 12 DOUBLE MURDER PLANES BRING IS FEATURED IN IN TEN FROM CAPITOL FEATURE Barbara Stanwyck Stars in‘ "Mad Miss Manton” at Local Theatre sumes the Ten passengers were from the islands two Juneau seaplane Shell Simmons, the Alaska Air brought in Jim Chi RC Harry Hirst, ¢ and Sam y revealed 1o “The Mad Miss 15 tonight at tre, co-: ng and Henry ort She B How a double murde from in RKO Radio’s Manton,” which op the Capitol Th Stanwy in Mrs. V Ann Curtis, Cleo C ka, Mrs, W and Billy Willia Today, Holden f with T.
