"'Men and Women"

"Men and Women" featuring
Richard Dix and Claire Adams, at
the Columbia Theater this week,
hrines to the screen another in
teresting story adapted from the
speaking stage. Billed as Drama
Of New York life 1t might be
termed chronicle of temptation
and desire of everyday people IN
Ali parts of the world.
Boosting no hero, no villain and
no heroine, the story it tells is
rich in dramatic situations. and
while the theme is old it has re-
ceived the benefit of fine direction,
and is portrayed by a capable cast.
Dix is cast as young bank
clerk, with a wife who loves
pretty clothes. and the butterfly
things of life. Unable to secure
them on her husbands limited in
come, she accepts thep from
another. The husband. finds his
wife slipping away from him and
robs the bank to buy her the
luxuries her heart 'yearns for.
He is caught and escapes punish
ment upon condition that he and
his wife begin life anew in another
part of the world.
Not much of a story, you'll say,
but you're mistaken. It's good
