In picture form it contains every one of the tense dramatic situations, emotion- al climaxes and vivid craracteriza- tions which lifted the novel, when published. into six-figure sales liter- ally over-night. No better choice than Charles Boyer and Margaret illavan for the roles of Ray Smith and Walter Saxel could have been :nade. Skill- ed, convincing, competent in their handling of the delicately shaded situations, powerful in the heavily emotional scenes, Mr. Boyer and Miss Sullavan deliver nerformances which are among the most excell- ent ever presented to the Amer- ican public. “Back Street” tells the story of 1 girl who is content to live in the shadowy back streets orf a great man’s life, sacrificing to help him in his career, suffering from loneli- ness which is her lot while he y with family and business affairs. The supporting cast was excep- tionally well chosen. Hugh, Tim Holt, Samuel 8.
