Much water has flown under the

On many occasions Miss Barrymore

one more week. Miss Barrymore
made her own selection Of the play.
It was "Declassee."
"Declassee' is the pathetic story of
an English noblewoman who had a
passion for making the wrong friends.
Sir Bruce Haden. her husband, treats
Lady Haden shamefully, but she is
too proud to divorce him and too
much of a good sport to complain.
Events reach crisis in their do
mestic affairs when Sir Bruce Haden
insults some of her house guests. Lady
Haoen demands and receives an apol-
ogy for those affronted. 1t develops
that Sir Bruce was justified in his re-
buke and his wife is compromised.
Lady Haden leaves London. goes to
New York. and the later events of the
play are concerned with her tragic
efforts to maintain her social posi-
ton. 1t is pitifully real in its portrait
of an upper class lady. forced by cir
cumstances to endure comparative
poverty. Just as the sun is about to
shine brighter Lady Helen meets an
unfortunate end.
The star role in "Declassee" gives
Ethel Barrymore one of the great emo
tional opportunities she has enjoyed
in distinguished career in the Ameri-
can theater.
The play abounds in interesting &C
ton and Miss Barrymore will be sup
ported by Walter Gilbert, who was
her leading man for two seasons. and

Miss Crawford finds her hedged-in

more comfortable.

of her own little theater. Vacation

Morning after morning MIR, Powell
has awakened to find himself with
hangover, and no sight has been so
popular as seeing him with a bag of
Ice on his head-or Bob Montgomery,
similarly afflicted. getting himself
into shape under a shower. All
through The Thin Man" and other
crime comedies Mr.. Powell has been
blissfully happy, as mellow as a
Stra divarius, as tipsy as a junebug.
as gentlemanly and charming as one
is allowed to be under such circum-
stances.
While no one has suggested that
such things have been overdone, the
fact that Miss Hardings remark
comes as sudden jolt in The Flame
Within" indicates that the spirit of
fresh air. sleep and gentle living has
been notably absent. When she says,
Have you ever tried waking up in
the morning feeling well?" the screen
seemed audibly surprised.
THERB are other sensible things
about this film, even though it
deals occasionally with insensible
people. Miss Harding's return to
good solid earth, for instance, is an
indication of good taste on the part
of Nom. They must have realized
that she was being lost in maze of
rosy-hued romances which were
nothing short of idiotic. And they
did some clear thinking when they
visioned her as level-headed psy-
chiatrist and one who could be as
convincing as Claudette Colbert was
In Private Worlds"
Miss Harding is, too, the sort of a
person who. If she isn't careful, might
easily upset some young mans apple
cart. Louis Hayward plays that nerve
racked young man with all the fire OF
true creation and with such restraint
in the more dignified moments that
you believe him quite as much as you
do Miss Harding. Their scenes together
ere nothing short of magnificent-a
doubly difficult task since Herbert
