TROPICAL SETS GIVE COLORFUL
 TOUCH TO FILM
Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. k Star in The Narrow
 Corner Coliseum

Short thereof is mans life; and narrow is the corner of the earth wherein he dwells," says Somerset Vaughan in his novel, "The Mar row Corner Warner Bros pie ture of the same title which is playing at the Coliseum Theatre, and is fashioned from this theme.
 It is a strange tale, this, full of the color of strange places and strange people-and yet at bottom, as are all the characters of a Som- erset Vaughan story, these people are vibrant with the same life we all live. They act and move and feel just as we all do.
 The story opens in Sidney, Aus tralia, with wealthy man sending his son away, secretly, in the night, aboard an old ketch with an out law skipper-bound for nowhere, told only to keep moving, and not to get too near to habitation where white men might be.
 It winds up in a colorful island of the Malay Archipelago among as strange an assortment of human beings as it would be possible to meet, including retired sea cap tain, wealthy from heaven knows what deviltries on the seven seas, his son-in-law and granddaughter, an innocent girl of primitive pas sion, and a Dutch trader.
 The picture is a triumph in ex- citing and thrilling plot, in unique characterizations and in it's exotic glamorous and picturesque settings. The strange characters are delin- eated with unusual fidelity and strength by the members of an all- star cast.
 Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., has never been better than he is in the es- caping young Australian, wanted for the murder of his paramour's husband. Dudley Digges as Dr. Saunders, an opium smoking out cast, is a revelation; Reginald Ow- en, William V. Mong and Ralph Bellamy are all better than this reviewer ever remembers having seen them before.
 The surprise of the picture, how ever is the work of youthful Pat ricia Ellis in the role of the girl, Louise. A comparative newcomer to the screen, her acting is flaw less. Her talent, beauty and charm should take her far in screen work.
 Alfred E. Green, who directed from a screen play by Robert Pres nell. has done a splendid job, for he keeps the story going at a never tagging pace.
 No one who cares for strange romances in picturesque settings, or for mad and thrilling adventure, should miss "The Marrow Corner" l"

Three Films ,uith Nary a, Embrace---Dorothea Weick
 Certainly q Kissless Star
By ROBIN COONs

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 22.-Doro- thea Wieck, after three films, re- mains Hollywood's kissless star.
 Tn "Maedchen in Uniform" she has no love interest, in Cradle Song" she portrays nun, and in Miss Fane's Baby Is Stolen" her latest, the only love motif is sup piled by Baby Leroy.
 The picture, it's true, does open with a "clinch," but it's a matter of fact embrace bestowed upon an actress by an actor for movie scene, and Miss Fame, the movie star, in her off-screen life has no leading man"
 Dorothea's next vehicle is not yet selected, but it is considered improbable that she will enter her third Hollywood picture without a romantic partner.
