Trading dwindled but the market
held steady later in the morning.

of age; and lovely young visitor
to New York. whose love Jamie
reciprocateS, bringing down upon
his head the combined wrath of
mother and daughter.
The original story has been juggled
about little, so as more effectively
to carry the suspense. This is one
of the reasons that one is more in
sympathy with Jamie in the pic
ture than in the novel, and heartily
disappointed when the screen YER
sion runs true to the story. and in
the end, with the assistance of the
outraged husband and father,
Horace Fendley, throws Jamie out
of a 38-story window.
Perhaps ones disappointment may
be attributed to the sympathy
aroused by Jaimie's real love. Norma
Page. who is about to transform
Jamie from gigolo into business
man, when Horace Fendley seeks re-
venge in Jaimie's fashionable apart

The picture has been we'll pro-
duced, with plenty effective atmos-
phere, an excellent cast and beauti-
full costumes.
The feminine cast is particularly
outstanding, with Kay Francis as
Norma Page, Carole Lombard as
Rachel Fendley, and Olive Tell as
RachelS mother, Helene.
Gilbert Emery is excellent as the
silent outraged husband, who takes
the law into his own hands, and
does not arouse much sympathy by
so doing.

year ago, now hobs up in cinema

Mr.. Hughes has the gift of show
ing up the canker sores of society,
so as to make them healthily re-
pellant, and when his offenders reap
as they have sown, the reader finds
himself virtuously pleased.
In the screen version, somehow,
one feels just a bit sorry for the
young man, supposedly cad, living
Off the money furnished by other
mems wives, and inwardly. though
shamefully, one rather likes him,
and is sorry when justice is meted
out in the end by an indignant
husband. All of which is not as it
was intended in the original story,
and is perhaps due to the fact that
William Powell, as Jaimia Daricott,
supported by the generosity of
Horace Hendley's wife. is more con-
vincing as likable, delightful voiced
gentleman, than as weak, con-
temptible gigolo.
Despite his charm, however, one
does wonder-just a little-what
there is so fascinating about the per-
son of Jamie Daricott to make a
feminine world lose its head about
him. Nevertheless it does, and be-
fore Jamie meets with his violent
and uncomfortable end, he finds
himself confronted with a discon-
