Directed by Jochn H. Auer. Principals: Elsie Janis, Wendy Barrie, Patric Knowles, Mae Clarke, Dorothy Peterson, Barbara Pepber. Billy Gilbert, Dennie Moore, Colin Tapley. First 100 percent new World War movie to hit the screen, “Women in War," succeeds in proving, however unintentially, that women in war should stay home and stop letting their emo- tions clutter up the front. These women don't. They're right in the thick of things at a French base hospital. They've come over from England to serve under head nurse Janis and competent assistant Peterson. ‘Thoy do éeautiful work here, too, and look nice and professional i Lheir starched uniforms. By the time they're called to active front duty, however, the depredations of a “fifth columnist” named Love have brought things to a pass prettier than most of the participants. . The handsome man in the case is Knowles, R. A. F. officer. He is engaged to Gail (Clarke), but falls for Pamela (Barrie). With the nursing unit taking sides in the issue, Janis gets order to take ambulances under a friendly barrage to a vital sector. Here Love has Gail, driving one of the three mercy wagons with Pamela beside her, do a silly thing. She drives right into the friendly fire. By the time repentant Gail has died trying to mend her jealous crime, and Janis has risked her life effectively mending it, the ambulances never get where they were going, ahd the friendly barrage has had to be lifted to save the silly femmes. This is obviously tough on the waiting wounded and a comfort to the enemy. PERCY’S CAFE OPEN ALL NIGHT [ ] Theie is some pretty good war spectacle here—an air raid during a channel crossing, and the barrage fire on the .deserted village where the girls are trapped—but most of it is pale beside the horror of today’s newsreels. Salvage: good work of attractive Wendy; comedy of Gilbert and Dennie Moore; the welcome return of Mae Clarke; the inter- est attached to a talkie debut of Elsie Janis, once “sweetheart of the A. E. F.,” whose personality shines through her apparent cam- era uncertainty only when she imitates a harrumphing English cfflonel; some bright lines here and there; and, for those who de- mand one, a plot revealing how mother love, even in war, can regenerate a wayward daughter. “THE WAY OF ALL FLESH.” Screenplay by Lenore Cof- fee. Directed by Louis King. Principals: Akim Tamiroff, Gladys George, William Henry, John lhnley Muriel Angelus, Berton hlu'ehlll. Emil Janhings once won an academy ward in the silent ver- sion of this slow-moving yarn which details the penalty one man pays for one night of high stepping. I doubt that Tamiroff will grab an Oscar for his work, but it is stilk highly effective. Paul Kirza is a good, plodding, honest family man, cashier of a small-town bank. ~Entrusted with $100,000 on his first visit to New York, he is mulcted by racketeers. When he learns that he is believed a dead hero. he vanishes and forever pays the pe'nalty for his one fling, thus protecting his family from disgrace, The setting is 1925, a small Pennsylvania town, but the period is not sufficiently remote to save the tale from the “dated” label. Kriza—in the old version a provincial European—is too guileless for America. In this country mamma (George) prob- ably would have hired someone to stay with the kids .and traipsed to the city herself, thus frustrating the excellent wnrk of the siren (Angelus) hefore it got under way. lllllllllllllllIIIIIIIWIWWWWNIHWHWWWIH
