Doll"
AtCoIumbio

"The Devil Doll" after playing
a recent week at the Fox, came
back to the Columbia yesterday
for a weeks run. This film is a
notable one on many counts, not
the least of which is the fact that
Lionel Barrymore, during part Of
the action, takes the part Of an
old woman.
The story is an eerie one, Of a
mad scientist and of how a clever
and reSourceful man used the
scientists weird discovery in his
mission Of vengeance.
The film grasps your interest
from the very start, where two
men are fleeing from a penal
colony. Bizarre from the begin
ming and throughout much Of the
action. yet the film tells a story
Of vast dramatic power.
Apart from it's factors which
take on the tinge of black magic,

years ago he was a prominent di-

one of Hollywood'S most noted pic

member of a prison parole board
in Don't Turn EN- Loose" which
features Lewis Stone, Bruce Cabot,
James Gleason, Betty Cradle, and

In his directorial days, Ince

Tragic Dromo
At MET"

First National Pictures, Inc, and
the Vitaphone Corporation have
seen fit to dig into the archives Of
earlier theatrical offerings and
have dragged out the old time
worn, hackneyed tale Of a wom-
ans past and the mischief it can
cause when not properly buried.
Two Against the World" is the
staggering title this current opus
labors under and If by any chance
it had been Lady Audley's Secret"
or something equally vivid, we
wouldn't have been surprised.
All the stock characters and sit
uationS so dear to the hearts of our
grandparents whave been brought
forth with the hackneyed Situa-
tions forming the same back
grounds. So it is only natural that
the same results are brought about.
Only this time as their setting the
company uses an up to date radio
station instead of the old home
stead or such as was typical to
followers of the ten, twenty,
thirty school of drama lore. We
couldn't believe our ears when we
heard the characters utter those
mellowed phrases such as This
marriage must not take place" or
There is no time to lose" Hal
lowed words, 1890. r. I. P.
Can we really be expected to
believe that in these present days
q woman will live on her emotions,
especially a woman conceallng q
somewhat vivid past? Surely the
sanity and clarity Of modern think
ing would not allow Martha Car
stairs the unhappineSS she builds
for herself and family.
Nothing is convincing about the
picture save for one short scene
when the grief-Strcken daughter
confronts the materiahstic villain.
This bit redeems in part all the
other inanities a skeptical audience
was asked to swallow. OF the
players let it be said, however, they
tried hard to put over their lines
and determine the plot to the gen.
eral scheme of things. And you
can't condemn a man for trying.
Humphrey Bogart (not gangSter
this one time), Beverly Roberts,
Claire Dodd. and Linda Perry go
through their roles with mechan-
lied listleSsnesS. seemingly aware
Of the futility of it all.
A Paramount News. a Vitaphone
Short, and an Andy Clyde comedy

tionS. D. M.

and "A Bill of Divorcement." She
also possesses to a high degree
the feminine appeal which was so
much a part of this girl queen who
sacrificed a crown for love.
Occupying the top spot opposite
Miss Hepburn is Frederic March,
who plays the Earl of Boutwell,.
The part has the dash and gallant
abandon reminiscent Of his roles
in "The Affairs of Cellini'' and
"The Royal Family" and March
also has to a high degree the mas
culine attraction which makes it
easy to understand why Mary
thought the world well lost for
love.
Florence Eldridge has the i'm
portant role of Queen Elizabeth.
John Carradine plays Rizzio who
was Mary's friend and advisor
and who payed for his loyalty with
his life. Douglas Walton plays
Lord Darnley, and Ian Keith is
seen as James Moray, Mary's
treacherouS brother. Moroni Oh
sen, who played John Knox in the
New York Theater Guild produc-
ton, has that part in the picture.
The sets run the gamut from a
fog-bound Scottish fishing village
to the lavishness of the English
court. They include the interior
of Queen Elizabeth's ante room.
study and bedroom at Whitehall's
Palace; interior and exterior of the
great hall and Mary's chamber at
Hollywood Castle, the courtroom
at Fotheringay Castle where Mary
was tried for her life and con
demned to the block; the great
hall and chapel at Dunbar Castle;
Lochleven Castle where Mary was
imprisoned and the galleon in
which Mary crossed from France
to Scotland.

against a background of Indian

inserted the clause himself, since
he believes the name Of q picture

Bing, incidentally, holds an un-
usual unofficial record. In his en-
tire screen career, he has only been
kissed but once in his pictures, and
that was by Carole Lombard in

others, he merely did home pre-

The general plot Of Public

angles that may be somewhat
tough on your credulity, but &C

you're in for a darn good time.

the main thing, I am always will

film, although they are well sup

Miss Lindsay has the role Of the
convict wife released from prison
after telling her convict husband
that she is through with him and
intends getting divorce.
He threatens to kill any man
who wedS her.
Thus, you see, we have the set
ting for about as perfect q bit OF
melodrama as your heart could

The worst (wen, almost the
worst) happens and the suspense
becomes very gripping.
However, there is a climax with
blazing tommy guns and the final
