Kay Francis and Herbert Marshall
in the leading roles, will be shown
The story, when taken apart, is
slight indeed, dealing chiefly with
the efforts Of two suave and clever
crooks, played by Herbert Marshall
and Miriam Hopkins, to take unto
themselves a good portion of the
vast fortune of Nine. Marianne
Colet, widow Of wealthy manu-
facturer, whose role is played by
Kay Francis. The films excellence
lies chiefly in the direction, the
performances and the dialogue, but
that is more than sufficient to
make it a film of outstanding
merit.

characters of the intriguing story
are brought to life with unusual

children. In doing so, the heroines
Of Caught Short" and Politics"
have as many battles as of yore,
but the battles are louder and fun

Marie does some straight character
acting that tugs at the heart
strings. The story deals with two
widows who are friends, in a small
town, until their children get mar
ried. Each starts in to regulate
the new family and fur flies.
