A kind Of paralysis settled upon
Metro -GoldWyn Mayer when that
blight fell, but it did not last long.
There were many feet of film to be
shot, some Of them centering around
MISS Harlow. Eventually they were
finished with cleft directorial touches

they are virtually imperceptible
One may think after seeing the

Is due to engrossment with the pic

OF suspense that divertS attention
from even so interesting a detail as
the effort to efTace the hand of death
upon the film. But it is also true
that going back a second time fails to
disclose any conspicuous flaws in the
sleight-of hand by which the shadow
Of the so-called grim reaper was re-
moved.
The reason one sees Miss Harlow in
