not move me to tears or even to
wet eyelaSheS, but rather I had a
heavy feeling some place in my
brain or stomach that there was
too much emotionalism here. It
just drips with it, especially Miss
Chatterton. And I must confess
that she did not convince me that
she was either honestly concerned
with the future of her lover (the
father of her child or to her
husband who never knew that the
lad he called "son" was not his own.
Miss Chatterton seems to be I'M
der the spell of some strange emo
ton which kept her most of the
time in an unnatural trance. I
know in real life any husband would
have realized that there was some
thing wrong with his wife who has
such strange spells. Anyway, I
judge that there is a good deal

horse, always to be a rotter, or
seeming to be so. In this case, the
wife, played by Mary Astor, is a
victim of the villains and she nearly
wrecks financially her husband. But
love will out, and she does not dope
the race horse when instructed to
do so by the villains. Rather old
and stale, even common, story ma
terial for the movies.
Cortez and Miss Astor, as well as
other members of the cast, do all
they can to lift the story, but that
is impossible.

in any picture he has ever MADE.

ing has made Wallace Berry the
real movie idol of the boys of
America.
Here is a blue FLOODED story of
American navy flying life that will
ring true to every man, woman and
child in this country.
1t has been humanity and beau
tifully acted by Berry, Gable and
all the others. The shots showing
airplane after airplane landing on
the deck of an airplane carrier in
mid-ocean is one of the grandeSt
scenes in this movie.
The story has sad but logical
ending for Berry. See it and weep
but remember you have had several

POWELL HAS NEW
TYPE OF A ROLE

You will discover in High Pres
sure" that William Powell has a new
type of a role. He is not villain
this time, but high pressure
salesman of stock in new process
that turns household sewerage into
rubber.
And the idea of the sewerage
nearly upsets the delicate and
artistic stomach of Powell, but he
goes to work dreaming a marvellous
high pressure campaign of sales
manShip to put over the idea.
Probably everything would have
been jake but the inventor of the
alleged process was just plain nuts
and loved to play tag.
But high pressure craftsmanship
finds an honorable way out so those
buying stock do not lose cent.
And that leaves high pressure Powell
at liberty to go to work on another
wild scheme that would make every
man woman and child wealthy and
happy.
Powell gives the picture a splendid
start in which he is just recovering
from ten day spree. The laughs
are plenty at the beginning of the
picture, but that tempo is not main
tanned during the entire picture.
George Sidney as the man who
discovers the Inventor" and Guy
Kibbee is splendid as the tramp
who suddenly becomes the president
of the rubber company. And Kib-
bee walks away with every scene in
which he apepars.
This story is something different
for Powell and he does mighty good
work. Can't say why I can't be
enthusiastic over it or I can't say
why I should not dislike it.
Let me know what you think Of
this oIee.
