"Her Husband Lies" on Screen
At Metropolitan Theoter

Do you remember six or seven
years back an early William Pow
ell and Kay Francis picture called
Street of Chance?" Well, don't
look now but I think Her Hus-
band Lies" is the same only with
a fresh coat of high gloss. This
current edition is at the Metro
politan.
Easy money has always been
the source of mans undoing no
matter what his racket may be.
Sooner or later you find that
even as delicious as it is you can
not have your old sponge cake
and eat it too. A tummy ache
of sorts will get you.
Take the case of Spade" Mar
tin, big time gambler along Broad
way. Spade" was a guy always
on the up and up, and ever ready
to help out pal. But you must
not forget Spade" was a gambler
and the old adage Of lucky in
cards and what follows was no
exception in this case.
Now Spade" had a kid brother
and he had a wife, Natalie. Both
were very dear to the heart of the
gambler. Spades means of liveli.
hood have been kept from the
brother which angle proves the
frame around which the plot is
twined. Incidents that follow seem
in well planned regulation in fact
a bit too much so for the good Of
the conclusion.
In his enacting the role Of
Spade" Ricardo Cortez remains
always the debonair man about
town. This particular role is q
natural for him. A bit too young
and overly jealous was Tom
Browns portrayal of Chick" the
younger brother. That splendid
character actor Akin Tamiroff
seemed wasted in the minor role
of Bullock. Gail Patrick, Dorothy
Peterson. and June Martel handle
the female roles with decorative
contrast.
AS saga Of gambling and the
uneven course it offers, the pic.
ture lacks the force its earlier
counterpart had. There is lacking
the tremendous impact meant to
convey the message it sets out to
deliver. A faultiness in continuity
and a jerky tempo clogged up
scenes that might have clicked.
Added attractions included in
the bill were News of the Day,
the Three Dumb Clucks, and a
Musical Journey to South America
with the Rimac orchestra. D.M:>

A rather grim and cynical mel
odrama it spotlights the mental
and physical reactions of an ego
centric. a JekyI-Hydish character
who reasons he is some degrees
smarter than the law.
Robert Montgomery plays this
murderer. who comes from the
country inn after successfully con-
cealing a first degree crime, takes
up his residence in the home OF
wealthy Mrs. Bramson, as nurse
and handy man.
You are very soon aware that
when the right time comes Danny
will try to send Mrs. Bramson to
kingdom come. the right time
being when he can conveniently
get possession of her money.

niece (played by Rosalind RusselD

It is swiftly paced entertain

A very keen bit of business was
done in casting and directing this
epic of the prize ring.
Plot Is Realistic
In its directing, a plot which
threatens almost momentarily to
become fantastic, is given an au.
thentic touch of reality. The vari-
GUS strands of the story are clearly
and closely knit, despite the fact
that the story seems fairly to
speed.
Edward G. Robinson has role
tailored to the exact measure of
the Robinson requirements. It
is a new character he brings
