SRURISRTRC HOLLYWOOD, Cal, April 6—“THE RIMROSE PATH." Sceenplay by Allan § Robert L. ott and Gregory LaCava, from play by Buckner and Walter Hart. Directed by Gregory als: Ginger Rogers, Joel McCrea, Marjorie Rambeau, Henry Travers, Miles Mander, Queenie Vass Carol, Vivienne Osborne, Carman Morales. r, Joan Ginger Rogers went into court the other day and got herself a divorce from Lew Ayes, thus ending the long suspense. About the same time, Ginger went to the screen in this new picture and got herself another kind of degree, her B.A. an emotional dramatic acty Where I'm concerned Ginger needn't have bothered. She gave satisfactory proof of her serious abilities in “Stage Door,” and she was far better in the hilarious comedy of “Bachelor Mother.” Taken any way she comes, whether it's tripping with Fred Astaire, or clowning with David Niven, or being tragic with Joel McCrea, as here, Ginger is easy to take. She keeps striving to prove her versatility, and here she proves it once and for all as To take the “Primrose Path,” however, is not to easy. As a daring and artful exploration of the seamy side of life it has much to commend it: LaCava couldn’t direct a bad picture, if he tried This one is anything but dull, bordering as it frequently does on the shocking, going to extremes in the depiction of sordid- | ness which the screen hasn't known in several years. This of course is realism—for “The Primrose Path” is the story of a gir] attempt to escape from the degradtion in which her family exists. It is not a pretty story, obviously. Neither is it chal- COME! charming hostessess give thoughtful guests who bring gifts of delicious Ven Duyn Candies. Little sttentions make you & “"must come” guest. Try itl “VanDuy* NOW AT Perey’s exclusively CHOCOLATES VAN DUYN CHOCOLATE SHOPS lenging, nor inspiring, nor particularly moving, although it en- dangers a degree of pity—more than a degree for the girl who would escape, and for her little sister who must grow up in such environment. Ellie May lives on Primrose Hill, a squalid section near the beach, with her once brilliant drunken father, her little sister her harridan of a grandmother, her, easy-living mother whose “good times” provide grocery and gin money. When Ellie May falls in love with a decent beach youngster (McCrea) she marries him, pretending that her “strict” folks have cast her out for going with him. There's hell to pay when finally, after the mother pauses at their hamburger stand on one of her good times, Ellie May takes Joe to visit the old home- stead. The boy ganders the set-up and leaves in a huff. The drunken father shoots the mother. Joe comes back, but good old Granny with an eye on a meal ticket, tells him Ellie May has run over to Frisco with a rich gent. Ellie May is in the house at the time, waiting and pining for Joe. So when he doesn't come Ellie May finally listens to Grandma’s outspoken hints about fol- lowing in mother’s primrosy footsteps. She’s saved on the brink by Joe's return, and Joe tells off Granny, at the same time giving her money, probably to forestall any vagrant notions the old girl herself might have. On the whole, despite the young romance, “The Primrose Path” tends toward the lid-off-the-garbage-can school of drama which is a fine thing for those that like it. In this instance, Qher. may I be excused? I wanna go get another chuckle or 5 wo out of “Tobacco Road.” i AIRALARM Two Hunfers Starve, Death G, VANCOUVER, B 6.— April The bodies of trappers James Ryck- man bre and Lloyd Coombs have been 1t to Vancouver by plane for nu The bot found by a searching party on Van- couver Island Ryckman had died of starvation and Coombs committed suicide with his rifle to avoid a like fate.
