4 BOOK
4 DAY
BY BRUCE CATION

THOSE Of us who got all excited,
l. beat a ruffle of drums and
frantically called out the guard
couple of years ago when Tiffany
Thayer produced his amazing "Thir-
teen Men" might just as well go
back to our tents now, and let the
guard go back too.
Mr.. Thayer has now come to bat
with Thirteen Women" and the
letdown is an unpleasant jolt.
The lusty vitality and the eXul-
tant reveling in all varieties of hui
man experience which made the
first book memorable are missing in
the new one.
The faults-slovenly writing, oc-
casional baWdincss, confusing
story structure-are present, some
what exaggerated.
Thirteen Women" begins as a tale
of action and suspense. A strange
and uncanny doom is stalking the
lives Of a dozen women who were
chums in a finishing school.
One woman is killed, another is
driven insane, another commits
murder, another mysteriously dies
while a fake astrologer stands an
accurate prediction of each disaster.
But the tale presently switches
and becomes a sort of psychological
study of the individual women. One
by one, you look at each womans
life history and discover why she
is what she is; but somehow it
doesn't seem so very important, Or
even so very interesting.
And then, at the end, the action
and-suspense element returns, in
regular movie-thriller fashion. But
by this time you don't quite get as
excited as you should.
There is no question that Mr..
Thayer has an unusual and striking
talent. But he hasn't yet lived up
to the things he promised in "Thir-
teen Men"
Thirteen Women" is published
by Claude Kendall, Inc, and costs
$3.50.

and he gives them a heavy dose of
failure. OF course, expect Rogers as
Tinker to win and you will be glad
that he does. The last business
Rogers was in in the movies was the
ambassador business. Now he is an
other Yankee who upsets the Orient
by a clever trick. Rogers is becom-
ing more than Just a se-cracking
humoriSt. He is becoming pretty
much of an actor. This is proven
by his work as a jake fortune teller
in the Orient. Here is humor backed
up with smart comedy acting.
Boris Karloff. Peggy Ross. Joel
McCrea and Dorothy Peterson are
the others in the cast. in addition
to Rogers, and the swanky and dan
gerouS Miss Goudal.
Business and Pleasure" proves
that Rogers can go into character
and be something more than just
the wise-cracking and bashful Will
Rogers.
If you like Rogers. you are going
to like him in this frail little yarn
that proves he is an actor for the
first time.
Now at the Apollo.

because the beginning is not
clear. The comedy on the ground
is rather forced sex stuff and it
didn't appeal to me as funny as the
hardboiled stuff pulled off in 1.-The
Cock Eyed World" Some of the
air scenes, especially the destruction
Of the German munitions depot re-
minded me of the same thing in
"Hell's Angels" 1 could be wrong,
but. Be your own judge because
this might be a good memory test.
My greatest enjoyment was the
irony directed at the conceited &C
items of Billy Bevan as the grand air
colonel, who was continually getting
in bad and being made to look like
a sap. To me the comedy work,
really satire of the dear suffering
Colonel, is the high light Of this
comedy.
The aim and purposes of the
story are very conflicting to me and
probably were to the director.
Be yorr own judge of Sky
