SluSh. Reminds one of the stories
popular about thirty years ago, the
wicked duchess and the sweet young
thing and all that.
The latter half of the story peps
up a little and begins to look like it
might be interesting, and it is to-
ward the end. Too bad the Senorita
Del Rio has to rely on eyes and ex-
presSive bare shoulders to get across.
1t would be much more entertaining
if she could act.
The story is laid in Biarritz with
Dolores as the Cuban heiress about
to marry fellow countryman who
is secretary of the Cuban legation.
Don Alvarado as the young huS-
band-to-be unluckily introduces one
of his friends to his fiancee and the
low-down friend just gums up all
the wedding plans and steals the
bride for himself.
Most of the things depicted dur
ing this part of the picture could
not happen to intelligent people, so
we are led to believe that the au-
thor's motive here was to convince
us that people who have a lot of
money and frequent the European
watering places are just a little bit
lacking in their mental makeup.
And as a final catty remark we
think Dolores is much better look
ing nowadays when she is not in a
closeup.

He runs into his former lady love
and she is having a gay old time
celebrating her victory of getting
information for the Russians. But
running true to the type OF the
modern heroine, she knows that she
has done her lover dirty trick, so

Her heart tells her that she is
dead wrong and for awhile we are

Conrad are very, very happy. Thank
