I wonder, indeed if men realize what the women of this country suffered through that time. And with this tragedy in mind. I believe ladies will find it something of an ordeal to see Miss Fane's Baby Is Stolen," which opened at the Paramount Theater yesterday.

The happy ending, on which Adela Rogers St. Johns, who adapted the tragic story by Rupert Hughes, insisted, and which should have made as laugh and sob at the same time, somehow falls flat. This in spite of the deeply relieving comedy brought by Alice Brady's portrayal. Possibly some misadventure in the way of cutting is responsible. Dorothea Wieck entirely Justifies Paramount's sagacity in bringing her Irom Europe.

No shade of ap propriate and tellin? emotion is overlooked in her delineation of the heart-broken mother whose baby has been stolen. And how very lovely she is to see! Suspense is piled on suspense, a welcome relief from these incidents occurring when Alice Brady, as the mountain, woman who saves the child by taking it from the kidnapers, makes her triumphant way to Miss Fane's house in a busted old Ford. By the way, if I had a punk story on my hands to film I'd send, for Miss Brady to rescue it. Personally, Baby LeRoy isn't to me such a warm baby! It seems to me there are dozens of others cuter. But Spanky MacFarland as the fresh little Johnny, Alice Brady's son, is a "wow." Jack LaRue, Dor othy Burgess, Alan Hale my, it does seem good to see Alan back villaining! all give good accounts of themselves.

Max Fleisher is giving Walt Dis ney a run for his money with his funny cartoon comedies, which received a big hand yesterday. Only I do wish he hadn't Interrupted the Three Bears to give Gertrude Nei-sen a chance to warble that blues song. Will women ever sing like women again, I wonder? Guy Lombardo and his orchestra come heavily lauded, and the en semble work is doubtless charming. But why not play something worth while? And why the tuneless-voiced trio? Also Is that violin which Lombar do flourishes merely a prop? Any how, he didnt once play on it.

"She Done Him Wrong," will be seen Monday in her second starring film. "I'm No Ansel," at Grauman's United Artists Theater, This will mark the first downtown showing of the production. Miss West's portrayal of Tlra, the wise-cracking lion-tamer of "I'm No Angel," is said to rank with her noted Interpretation of Lady Lou. She sings, dances, apparently puts her head in a Hons mouth, and utters a succession of breezy sayings. "I'm No Angel" was written by Miss West and directed by Wesley Ruggles.

Cary Grant, Kent Taylor, Edward Arnold, Dorothy Peterson, Gregory Ratoff and Gertrude Michael are also in the cast.

In the film, a story of backstaee life, Franchot Tone is cast as the millionaire admirer of Miss Crawford, a chorus girl. Joan and Fran-chot's names have been linked in private life and as a result their love scenes in the musical picture take on an added interest to the theatergoer, it is said. Supporting the stars are Mav Robson.

Since no picture can be found for her, she is on the verge of discovering one for herself, and it will be a Russian suDjecu Why didn't that come up before as a.

Dosslb litv for Ulric? sounaa rather eood. Here is the way things stand: Miss Ulric has been signed up for a stage Dlav called "The Soviet Commissar, which will be produced by Henry Outtman. is from a novel called "The Red Paeliacci which was adapted, for the Viennese by the author, Eugene Tschirikov, and now Nina Wilcox Putnam ts ma ing the adaptation for the New York nroduction. If the play is a sue cess, the expectation Is to produce It for the films with Miss Ulric as star. It may poesibly be done as an indeDendent production.

Miss Ulric will leave In a few davs for the East, where the com rsanv will be assembled and the. stage piece produced at the Bela co Theater, already engaged. "Thirty-Day Princess" will defl Jiitely. present Sylvia Sidney in a dual role her first in pictures, and ihev're rare enough these days. How.

ever, the film is concerned with an imposture. The princess or me title is from a mythical kingdom, and brought to America to aw a mmmprrlfti advertisinc campaign, When she is taken ill, another young ladv assumes her place, and on wis v(nirf thp niot of the Clarence Budington Kelland story, To all Intents and purposes, cary Grant will portray the lead oppo- eite the star, but tnat paruy ue- pends on his recovery in England and his return. The word is that iau fh isth inst. "Thirty- Prints." will be made next by tutu. sMniv Frat-Hear for Comlci Lou Brock, who has been pioneer- lng in the musical comedy flsld oi the films, will leap into the fray again with some unique ideas for the starring team of Wheeler and Woolsey.

The picture scneauiea ior the pair is called "Frat-Heat," col- lege tale written by Eddie Kaufman and Mark Sandrich. The college in the film goes bankrupt and Wheeler nri wmivv essav to run It accord- lng to a new plan. It wasn't so long ago that the Marx Brothers had a try at the same general sort of story. But does that make any rfipiiiat difference? Feminine leads are Dorothy Lee and Thelma Todd, who begins her contract at the lath inst Mark Sandrich will direct the film Kelly Favored for Role If there is any heavying to be done In "Bulldog Drummond Strikes Back," and it's reasonable to as- sume that tnere wm De pienwy, probabilities favor Paul Kelly's be- in elected for the Job. His ap- pearance In the film with Ronald Colman would give strength to the nit causred bv his personal per- formance in "Broadway Through a Kevhole." Colman.

or course, is back in town, and the film will be- gin at Twentieth Century as soon as "The House of Rothschild" is disposed of, since that has been the overwhelming enterprise lately. Kellv has been idle since "Broad- wav Throuch ft Keyhole" and thouch reported engaged for a film is not to do this after The title of "Bulldog Drummond Strikes Back" will be changed. Personal Triumph hcorea Anna Sten scored a triumph of hMr nersonalltv at the official pre- view of "Nana." She is beautiful and promises to be very individual as a. screen personality, ana is po tentially ft great star, though the nicture itself realizes all these things vrv limited wav. There are attributes of her performance that remind of Marlene Dietrich, Greta Garbo and various others.

It is rather a composite, but through It all she remains both fascinating and magnetic. The plot of the picture lags to ward the finish, and the acting of the star Is very strained at times. Yet with all the handicaps endured one does not question either the beauty or the power of the central figure, who will unquestionably slow as a favored film luminary. Richard Bennett.
