POWELL, GABLE AND LOY FILM AGAIN ON F STREET ‘‘Manhattan Melodrama™ Flatters Its Stars and Puts Director Van Dyke on Another Honor List. NY one ambitious toward directing motion pictures (and a lot of peo- ple who now get paid cash sums weekly for directing motion pictures) would do well to study the technique of Mr. W. 8. Van Dyke. Mr. Van Dyke does not knock the ball out of the pasture on every trip to the plate, perhaps, but his batting average is as high as that of any Hollywood megaphonist. And “Manhatian Melodrama,” now at the Columbia after having been again released by the M-G-M people, is one of his more successful ventures, It's & film which packs considerable wallop. While you're watching it, of course, you get all wound up in the story and pay no attention to the manner in which the effects have been atigined, but afterward you'll look back and marvel at the Van Dyke skill. And, to be sure, at the skill of the three featured players, William Powell, Clark Gable and Myrna Loy. The director employed the waiting technique, opening with a burst of slow fireworks, slowing his pace to spar for a few rounds, then gradually building up to a series of hard left and right jabs that rock you back on your heels. ‘The film concerns itself with a pair of boys who grow up together, one becoming what is known as a big-shot gambler and the other rising through the district attorneyship to the gov- ernor's chair. There's a murder, the lad who has become district attorney sends his chum to the chair, then becomes governor with the power to commute the sentence to life im- prisonment. That could be the falsest of melodrama in other hands, but in these it becomes stirring drama which strikes home with an impect you won't soon forget. ° A good bit of the credit is due to William Powell, who in “Manhattan Melodrama” delivered some of the best acting moments of his career, with & fine part that he could get his teeth mnto deeper than anything he's had | recently. Miss Loy and Mr. Gable have some mighty good moments, too, and the three of them, with the guidance of Mr. Van Dyke, have pro- duced & film drama that's well worth this revival by the studio. H M.

Mrs O'Neill has held a responsible position with the New Jersey Bell Telephone Co, Divorce Is Granted With “Jactitation” Given as Grounds Official Tells Pusszled Hearers Word Means “Marriage in Fun.” Bt the Associated Press, NEWARK, N. J. Julv $—Cour! room spectators scratched their heads yesterday when Advisory Master Reb- ert D. Grosman granted a marriage annulment on the ground of "jactita- tion."” For his puzzled hearers Grosman ex- plained the word meant “marriage in fun.” Alfred J. Coleman of Ringoes, whn said he married Clara L. Dolan of Matawan as a “joke” on his parents, received the annulment Coleman said the marriage was per- formed at Elkton, Md.. unknown to his parents while they were finishing din- ner during a trip. The young man told the court he was not in love with his wife and “did not like her any more than a half dozen other girls.” “In order to constitute a valid mar- riage,” Grosman ruled, “a serious in- tent to do so must be present.” WITHOUT: SO WITHIN The law—of correspondence is inflexible—and it is given a most practical demonstration in the de- velopment of W. C. and A. N. Miller’s exclusive residential com- munities of Wesley Haights, Spring Valley and Westerleigh. The beau- ties with which nature has endowed these communXies have inspired character in the designing of the homes, and are in the interior fin- ish. Truly as “withoul so within"— and here you live in a veritable paradise—free from all discordant inharmonies of environment, of architectural expression and in- compatible neighbors. You know of no other communities so en- trancing and so rigidly protected. Again the law of correspondence— as today so throughout the future— always and constantly—under Miller control. A new home—for special inspec- tion—is now open at 3020 Foxhall Road—in the Wesley Heights com- munity. Look through it critically —and see if you're not thrilled with its many charms—and im- pressed with its positive investment value. You'll find it open every day and evening. A real Miller home, in a typical Miller com- munity. The city office of W. C. &' A. N. Miller is at 1119 Seventeenth 8t. Telephone District 4464.
