stead of that slow wistfulness, which
always has been part of her charm,
Miss Ralston has included in her
repertoire a surprising amount of
"hey-ney" and hoodlumiSm, which
she does well, but which seems, with
her, somehow, out of place. She is at
her best in her more subdued mo-

Following Miss Ralston. comes
another high-ranking beauty, Billie
Dove, demonstrating her powers of
femininism in a mildly entertaining
comedy called "A Notorious Affair"
In this Basil Rathbone, cast as one
of those musical geniuses whom pow
erty at first keeps from attaining to
fame, marries Miss Dove and there
upon scars to the top. Once famous,
rich. thoroughly self-centered and
temperamental, he has an affair
with another woman, separates from
his Wlfe-who revertS to playing at
a childhood love affair-and in the
end, after paralytic stroke. realizes
that it was his wife he loved all
along. all along.
Although Billie Dove is photo
graphed better perhaps than usual,
she is outplayed in this picture both
by Basil Rathbone and Kay Francis.
The latter seems to have, among
other things, a good deal of intelli-
gence and handles a twentieth
