Wives Are the Rotters in Two of the Chief Movies Women in ‘Red Dust’ and ‘Three on a Match’ Turn Out to Be Bad Ones as They Pain Husbands. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN A T least two of the wives in as many of the new movies in town this week cheat in their husbands and the husbands in both cases were such fine, upright, hard working darlings. Barbara Willis (Mary Aston in “Red Dust” had a peach of a husband, an engineer, who was sent tQ the tropics on a big rubber plantation. This husband certainly did not deserve a cheating wife because he was so grand, as the girls would say. But in movie stories lately so many of the good men have such rotten wives.

It must be an old Hollywood custom. You probably will say, “Stop. What about Jean Harlow? Isn’t the blond in this picture?” And cure she is and it is the first time that she has convinced me that she is a real actress and not a disease. The role that she plays is no virgin,

and'she admits it, just as Sadie T h ompson did. But Vantine, the role played by Miss Harlow, is tropical ' gutter, and she has no problems or missionaries around to increase her troubles. She likes her man, Dennis Carson, head of the rubber plantation, and she resents having a mar ried virign such as Mrs. Wil-

Jean Harlow

lis, poaching on her territory. The terriotry in question is Carson, as played in such a he-man, caveman fashion by Clark Gable. It is the pointed, care-free cracks of “wisdom” of Miss Harlow that gives the picture real life and sparkle. I yelled out in meeting when Miss Harlow staged the nifty while cleaning the parrot’s cage. Very indelicate, but I howled just the same. Not going into detail regarding this melodrama. It is sex from the word go. A battle royal between a gutter gal and a madonna. Well, if you want to know who wins, see the picture, but keep the children at home. Is ‘‘Red Dust” box office? It “am," and how. Now at the Palace. a a a ANOTHER WIFE WRECKS HERSELF Another wife goes to the bowwow and makes the supreme sacrifice to save her small son just before the movie finishes. You will meet Vivian (Ann Dvorak), the wife of a very rich and powerful as well as upright lawyer (Warren William), in ‘‘Three

O n a Mate h.” Vivian is one of those hot-house wives, although a mother, gets all fed up on orderly and decent living. All the poor dear needed to get out of the rut was to do some honest to goodness housework —well, why try to make useful citizens out of some of our movie story wives. While she is all ready to sail for Europe with

i

W. William

her young son, she meets a dashing cheapskate, orders her trunks off the boat and goes into hiding with this gutter rat. And she takes her son with her but the darling doesn’t go the same route, being too young and his father’s detectives too clever. Vivian then takes to dope and its companions when she is divorced from her lawyer husband. Vivian’s boy friend then starts blackmailing when he learns that Vivian's former husband’s second wife has served a prison sentence before she became honest and right. Then the story becomes a kidnaping yarn. Here is lurid hair-chested melodrama if it ever existed. Vivian atones for her mistakes by

hurling herself out of an apartment building just as the kidnapers were going to kill her son. Happy ending for the virtuous ones of the story.

Miss Dvorak gives a good performance as the wife who gets on sin’s merry-go-round. But it is Buster Phelps, just the sweetest youngster you have ever seen on the screen, who walks away with all the applause. This boy is a marvel. And he is natural. At no time did he appeal to me as acting. Bette Davis, Grant Mitchell and Joan Blondell are in the cast. The three chief women characters lighted a cigaret on the same match and the devil stepped in. Only moral to this yarn is—don’t let three people light on the same match. For adult audiences only. Now at the Indiana. a a a HERE IS A VERY SMART PHOTOPLAY If you like your movies to be smart, sophisticated, and clever, then your show this week is “Trouble in Paradise.” The picture is smart all the way from the costumes to the schemes of Monsieur Laval (Herbert Marshall). You will find sophistication in Madamoiselle Colet (Kay Prancis), her gowns, her round of teas and dinners, and her perfume business. And clever? That is where the dialog comes in.

The plot centers about Herbert Marshall, the great international crook who “walked into the Bank of Constantinople, and walked out with the Bank of Constantinople,” and his accomplice, Miriam Hopkins, who starts out as a “countess” and ends as the girl who could pick Mr. Marshall’s pocket of the pearls he had stolen from

jJaSSp" >2

Kay Francis

Kay Francis to give Miss Hopkins. It follows the pair through a Geneva peace conference where Mr. Marshall steals “everything but the peace” to Miss Francis’ Paris home, where he becomes a private secretary with a view to a 100,000 franc robbery. Woven into the scheme of things are Charlie Ruggles and Edward Everett Horton, who, though rivals for the hand of Miss Francis, admit that either of them has more “color” and "fire” than has Marshall. The direction, by Ernst Lubitsch, is above reproach. Time after time, he introduces unusual effects to lift the picture above the commonplace. The play is one of that kind in which you find yourself siding with the robbers and thieves, hoping that they not only will get away with their swag, but will keep on being crooks in the bargain. Now at the Circle—(By the observer.) tt a a HERE IS A VERY MODERN SHERLOCK HOLMES If you have longed to see Sherlock Holmes mix with modern criminals who use machine guns,

so many years ago by William Gillette and have made it completely 1932 with a possible dash of 1933. And a firstrate cast has been given the modern Sherlock.

The outstanding performance among some good ones is that contributed by Ernest Torrence. Here is a man who knows just how to play master criminal roles. He is a sinsty delight in this movie. Brook tries to look like the Sherlock Holmes' that Gillette created years ago and he succeeds. The movie is full of action and comes under the head as pretty good theater. Now at the Apollo.
