Perhaps that explains in part why women in large numbers flocked to the Worth Theater Saturday to see themselves through the eyes of a clever woman' Clare Boothe in her famous play "The Women" which Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer made into a movie Clare Boothe dipped her pen in venom when she wrote "The Women" to show the so-called weaker sex stripped of all their pretenses The play was screamingly funny and the audience which was predominantly feminine laughed and laughed at their own weaknesses and vanities but secretly squirmed when situations struck too close to home As one member of the female sex trying to be honest we'll have to confess that we squirmed but also admit that we saw many of our sisters in their true life characters 4t tt ks t1N ff kst-t'-'t- 1 tk4s tths ttso' 4042117 4' 40

INTRODUCTION Metros introduction to the movie is one of the cleverest we have ever seen on the screen Each of the principal characters is introduced first as her animal counterpart of course your sympathies will be with Norma Shearer as Mrs Stephen Haines devoted wife whose home was wrecked by wagging to You will hate Joan Crawford as Crystal Allen the perfume counter girl and gold-digger de luxe wflo broke up the Haines home The movie was not kind to Miss Crawford With a rather fuzzy hair-do hair stylists call it the baby curl coiffure) and a wardrobe of gaudy gowns she looks none to well or are we being too catty? You will gloat over the fate of Rosalind Russell as Mrs Howard Fowler the cat whose claws are Jungle red and twice as dangerous Her vitriolic tongue goaded Mary Haines into the foolish move which caused her to lose her husband but Mrs Fowler ended up in Reno too She lost her husband to a show girl Paulette Goddard who made him a successful wife because she had sense enough to appreciate all that he could give her But for all her cattiness Rosalind Russell walks off with the major acting honors She is excellent Next to your sympathies for Mary Haines you will feel for Joan Fontaine as the young wife who becomes reconciled with her struggling SI lAtItSla FASHION PARADE The movie is a fashion parade from start to finish but some of Adrian's clothes which he has designated -fashions of tomorrow" look like he was mad at the fair sex and wanted vengeance by making them appear as ridiculously dressed as possible Truthfully men you have never seen such hats as Rosalind Russell wears 'You ought to go take a good look at them and then you wouldn't complain when your wife comes home with a new Fall bonnet 11 FY JIMMIE FIDLER WOOD Sept of it maybe you to our read- been wt-Itnnz let-and ctle v-s you Iii 7 I don't know hat I'd more than I to do yow Th but it Mo news Fvery man 0:1 the street know et: toy rhaY Ltet brc4est story a zecre-: stmnie on a secret ban i 0 STA Fers TODAY!
