LEWIS NOVEL.
Rabbit"

The film, Rabbit" at the
Rialto this week is not a vastly
different person from the George
Babbitt OF Sinclair Lewis novel,
whose name has become q by
word for middle class self-satis-
fiedness. The tumble Of unim.
portant facts that tended to make
the novel draggy have been
cleared away In the film version,
but the outlines Of the plot re.
main the same. Other minor de-
tails have been added. bringing
the picture up to date. The Bah
bits have now. Of course. a
three-tube radio set.
Much Of the satire Of the novel
is missing in the film, which aims
only to tell the story Of a fat,
middle,aged business man in 4

make a break, to get away to.

queer joints in India" He comes
near doing it too and is only
jerked back to reality and re-
