ChattertOn HobbIed

Such members Of the Ruth
Chatterton league as contact with
the departments desk appear to
aaree that the role Of "Pansy
Gray" hardly adds to her film
stature. With them cordially
agree. Paul Lucas as Gustav
Saxon" seemed to me the nearest
to a genuine character in the
story of "Anybody's Woman" and
by far the best actor. Give
Brook would mark IS per cent
in his drunken scenes but up to
his usual high standard when not
hampered by palpable plot alb
surdities. To be specific, a gal
liant and chivalrouS husband
anxious to help q declasse wife
make an impression at dinner
with his friends would have pro-
tected her from an alcoholic ap-
petite and brazen advances which
culminate in leg pinching cpl
Sode. Brook was less than heroic
here and more than inattentive.
The final reunion is a., piece of
bald theatricalism that is rot
enhanced by Jagged continuity
To sum it up I think ANY
body's Woman" is an example of
miscasting but the main faults
are with the authors and adapt
ors. Ruth Chatterton does her
best, but making "Pansy Gray a
full rounded character is asking
too much.

There, they have privacy and

Ralph Forbes and Ruth Chatter

beach house around October /.
The B. p. Schulbergs are an
other deserting couple.
But many remain. Corinne
Griffith and Walter Morosco have
closed their Beverly Hills home
and will join the winter beach
colony. Dick and Adela Rogers

The film stars occupy this land
under odd terms. They rent 1t for

It is impossible for them to buy,
because the owner of the prop

what less ~colorful than in the nine

Columbia Club.
THE fact is that, because 1t Is

said. Because it is a business en-

master of the buckhounds, subject
