The showing will end tonight at the Capitol Theatre. One of the very few screen en- tertainments to develop the “other woman's” side. “In Name Only” tells with emotion-gripping power of her husband to another with whom he has fallen loss woman in love. Although the wife openly| admits that she does not love her husband, she wants to keep him only for the luxuries and position he gives her, The situation develops—with wife's unscrupulous fight to tain her status and to keep her husband’s parents ignorant of the true circumstances—to a stirring climax, after a lightning-fast series the re- of stirring highlights which mark| “In Name Only” as one of the \)r‘ax\ most significant productions. ‘ s Lombard’s role as the wait- ing woman represents a departure from her recent cycle of comedi- ‘cnnc portrayals.

HOLLYWOOD, Cal., July 9—Maybe they won't be made, but there are more anti-Nazi movies on the Hollywood program. . ‘Secret Army” (Column 5 stuff) has been rumored abandoned but the official schedules still have it—and Brenda Marshall, George Brent, Albert Basserman and Jeffrey Lynn are on the books to play in it That's from Warner’s, and Columbia’s new sched- ule announces “We Dare Not Love" (Brian Aherne-Joan Bennett) as “a story of a great romance threatened by the long arm of the Gestapo” together with “I Joined the Bund,” @n ‘“expose” film. . None of which sounds like a Hollywood that’s’ knuckling under. . . . Search for a new “Tugboat Annie” wound up with Marjorie Rambeau at the wheel, Alan Hale doing first maté duties. It's to be Margaret Sullavan opposite Fredric March in “Flotsam,” the story of hounded, wandering refugees. . . . Frances Farmer stays on—she’s the girl with Pat O’Brien and John Gar- field in the projected “Flowing Gold,” oil fields yarn. . . . Zanuck is keeping his fingers crossed over Ann Todd, the pretty youngster from “All This, and Heaven Too,” now Zanuck-contracted and considered for some of the roles Shirley Temple vacated. Gilbert Roland looks headed for the bix time, ngnln from what they're saying of his work in “Rangers of Fnrtune '—and it was his brother, Chico Alonso, the assistant director, who boosted him for the job. ... Town lost three grand characters with the passing, close together, of Walter Connolly, Florenge Roberts and the "Joriés' Fanil; PERCY’S CAFE OPEN ALL NIGHT at PERCY'S; ANY, TIME: for Dinners or' Light Linches. that ‘all' Junedi Is talking™ about. TRY- OUR FOUN- TAIN, TOO! made her stage debut in the melodrama “Hoop of Gold,” which introduced May Robson. . .. With Jed Prouty lTeaving "the series and now Grandma gone, the Joneses may be' finished. . Bette Davis is scheduled for ‘“‘Calamity Jane” although Ann Sheridan was crazy for the part and Bette doesn't like fireworks, much less shooting. . . . Maybe Sheridan will get the role back (it was given to her mamly in speculnlon) after the script shapes up—for Jane doesn't sound muchlike a Davis cup or tea, . What “Destry” did for Dietrich another wild- western may do for Kay Francis, . . . The Destry director, George Marshall, has Kay, already well-launched on a new popularity by “In Name Only” and “It's a Date”” as the telegraph operator heroine in “When the Daltons Ride.” : Jane Wyatt, who skipped town for the stage after a good beginning in “Lost Horizon,” came back for “Girl from God's Country”—but is still stage-happy and not too mive-struck, .. . Warner Baxter, who drew a good one in his last contract picture, “Earthbound,” plays the father of five, faced with a changing world, in “Legacy.” g o Sounds like old Cimarron times for Richard Dix, the per- ennial star, in “Cherokee Strip.” . . . Cagney, having lost out in “Roaring Twenties,” is headed for “The Fabulous Thirties” just as if that other picture hadn't left him filled with lead in Gladys George's arms. .. .
