BUY DEFENSE BONDS great is the word for both the pic- |ture and its star. In one the most magnificient love stories the screen has ever told. Miss Davis ri |the greatest heights of her entire dramatic career, and the result is /the year's finest screen entertain- ment. Here is a film story, so sensitively directed, so ably enacted that the |audience cannot help but live the |events as they unfold on the screen. Miss Davis in the role of a good jand honorable woman, holds the audience in the palm of her Jovely hand. It is a perfect blending of star and story, and proves once and for all that Bette doesn't have to play a “bad” role in order to be good. She is superbly natural and likeable in the role of a normal, modern girl who tells one lie to pro- tect those she loves, and nearly loses them because of it. George Brent and Mary Astor share honors with Bette Davis in the film. DR. W. . RAMSEY RETURNS AFTER 2 MONTHS' TRIP Dr. W. S.
