 What puzzles the police Is where the drawings were scheduled to take place whether in New Britain or Hartford. It looks like an out of town enterprise.

Good Act

Ruth Chatterton, whose recent
pictures for Paramount were
away below par, comes back with
a bang in "The Rich Are Always
With U.s." her first screen fea-
ture produced for the glory and
profit of Warner Brothers.
Long since a smart publicity
man tackled on the label, First
Lady Of the Talkies," to Ruth
Chatterton celluloids. The pic
lures failed to live up to the
billing, and then was born a be-
lief that this accomplished act
ress was the beneficiary of lady
luck and good authors in her
first flicker exploits. Without
these desirable blessings Chatter
ton was slowly but surely finding
her place with Hollywood's minor
leaguerS.
Gets Great Help
Chatterton rides to glory again
through the medium Of a good
story. Her comeback is definite
and substantial. This adaptation
of a Petit novel by Austin Parker
has the kind of conversation which
Ruth Chatterton can deliver with
all the aplomb and smartness Of a
brilliant '7oman. She possesses
the dignity, poise and grand sense
of humor to make the role sparkle,
and, inspired by the tip-top per-
+; rmance of George Brent, a new
leading man, the narrative gene
rates a solid interest for those who
prefer sophisticated fiction.
The plot is light. 1t is the pol
ish and trimmings which make
''TAe Rich Are Always With Us"
the screen gem it is. There is the
story of the rich and attractive
matron who just can't hold her
husband. A struggling young au-

husband goeo too far and there is

woman by the hand.

The producer nodded. The
agent, swaying nobly, fell into a
nearby chair and closed his
eyes. A few minutes passed
and the producer ordered the
girl to sing a number. She
sang two of them, as the agent,
his eyes still closed, dozed in
his chair.
The girl was finished. But
the final burst of music from
the orchestra reused the agent.
He rose from his chair, stag
gered over to the producer and
slapped him on the back.
