fash-lonably-frocked young matron. Made the unconscious victim of a youth's bitterly-planned revenge on his snobbish family, she proves as keen witted and alert to act as her forebears, and comes off the social battleground with all her Indian colors flying high. She loves deeply the boy who had married her in pique for his relatives' attitude toward him when he wanted to wed a girl of humble birth.

Gene Raymond's young husband, despite his peculiar and distorted views on "paying back," Is a nice lad and no one wonders that the Indian maid fell in love with him for keeps.

It is pleasant to ee Miss Crews and Mr. Warner back on the screen, their talents lending much to the scenes In which the boy's father and mother are present. Miss Compton, Mr. Owsley. Miss Granville, Mr.

It is a beautifully done, sincere cinema achievement, directed with artistic feeling, and as near perfectly acted as could be a.sked.

Followers of the Broadway stage know of Henry Hull's outstanding success as the leading character In the play "Tobacco Road." It Is he who plays Magwich. the escaped convict, around whom the drama of the Dickens story revolves. He gives an electrifying performance-sustained, intelligent and always In character. If one is not permitted to see Mr. Hull's line talents em ployed on Ihe spoken stage the next best thing Is to have the privilege of watching him enact and build up the peculiar psychology of Mag-, wlch.

It will prove a treat to Mini followers long to be remembered, i Every one of the familiar Dick- ens characters has been given to i an actor or actress eminently equipped to Impress the spectator I with the importance of the person Impersonated In the unfolding of the unhapy life of Magwich, the i romance of Pip and Estella, the! hardness and hitter revenge of Miss Havlsham, and the brawny honesty of Blacksmith Joe. Sensitive, right ly attuned performances are giyen by young George Breakstone and Phillips Holmes as Pip at different stages of his life. Holmes has not done anything so well since his memorable French lad in "Broken Lullaby." Jane Wyatt, of the New York stage, Is a pretty, pert Estella. Alan Hale is splendid as the blacksmith, and Florence Reed sustains her reputation as one of the American theater's foremost actresses as Miss Havisham. The settings of old London are a delight in themselves.

The film should be given high rating in every detail. A second equally commendable picture, although of an entirely different type and theme, la "Dangerous Corner." Taken from a successful play and novel. It makes a stirring, eventful and exciting screen story. The cast is unimpeachable, as a glance at the names will aRsure. It is presented with a finesse and smartness and an intriguing dramatic charm that holds the onlookers' Interest and admiration at topnotch, E.

Margaret Settles Down Margaret Sullivan, who, prior to her Yuma elopment with Bill Wy-ler, director, regarded Hollywood merely as a place to ride bicvcles around and take the New York plane away from, has now astonished everybody by going over plans to erect a permanent home there.

Adapted tv William Hiirlrmt from the novel by Funny Hurt. flirei-ted by John Stahl. Cniveraal production. THB CHARACTERS: Dfiliin Pullman Cnlheri siephen Arrher Warren William Kimer Ned Spark Aunt Delilah Xouiee Beavere Jm.il" Pullmiin I 31 Baliv Jiw Pullman Marilyn Know Men Je.ie Pullman laae Roohella Hnilmn I'enla Johnson I a 4 I Sehie Hendrii-k fVoia laae HI Dorothy Rla-a P.ma Ji.hneon laaa 181 Fredi Wahlnirion Marlm Ala HaJ By Len G. Shaw In tracing the course of two parallel plots through a single pic ture one Is almost certain to take precedence in importance.

So It is our prediction that In spite of the Interest attendant upon the triangle created bv Warren William and -n W.ra and Rochelle Hudson as the letter's daughter, whose Infatuation for William brings unlooked for complications, you will find yourself conrjned more deeply with the traeedv of dusky-Aunt Delilah and her daughter, the former played to the hilt by Louise Beavers in one of the most natural and moving portraits of. lowly life that the screen has offered in a blue moon, Beatrice Pullman (Miss Colbert) and Aunt Delilah are widows of different races left to their own resources. Each has a little child to whom she is deeply devoted. They pool their Interests In a boardwalk pancake shop, with Aunt Delilah, black as the traditional ace of spades, compounder of magic flap-Jacks that turn into a golden fortune when the formula Is boxed and marketed, following the sug gestion of Ned Sparks, who as a down-and-outer trades an idea for a sample of the griddle rakes. Aunt Delilah's little Peola, pale-skinned, rebels against the- racial barriers she seeks to hide and eventually goes her own way, casting off the mother who has given her every advantage, with the expressed hopt of never seeing her again, Jessie Pullman Is equally fortunate in her material blessings from an adoring mother.

All Is well until on a visit home from school she meets Stephen Archer, to-whom her mother is engaged, and falls madly in love with him. The tragedy that causes Aunt Delilah to die of sheer heaibreak, and the sacrifice made by Beatrice to avoid creating an Intolerable situation for her daughter, is told effectively, although at times the picture is overburdened with plot and rather long. It is intelligently directed, however, and never lacking in strong appeal. Claudette Colbert is not only attractive, but easily competent In the nominal leading role. Warren William Is a suave lover, and Roch elle Hudson's daughter is skillfully sketched.
