'One.Way PASSAGE
Little's Revival.

CONTRIVED in one of Hollywood S
lucid moments, "One- Way Passage
still stacks up as one OF the more hon.
est contributions Of the screen to en-
tertainment, SO it seems an especially
bright move on the part of the Little
Theater management to have booked
the current revival "One Way
Passage" you probably remember, for
1t is film to be remembered, is the
story Of man and woman who meet
in Hong Kong, discover in each other
the something for which they have
been searching through life. They
travel back to the States on the same
boat, each striving for one last mo-
ment with doom hanging overhead, he
facing the electric chair and she fac
ing sure death from a heart ailment
Kay Francis and William Powell
(who were teamed in this for the sixth
time) make the strange idyll of the
two compelling and stirring drama,
tender story that is bound to make
your heart feel couple of sizes too
large and well tear into your eve.
And Director Tay Garnett probably
was in large way responsible for the
manner in which the picture never
loses its suspense. yet fairly breathes
an air of inevitability. You know
as we'll as the two people concerned
that there is nothing ahead but the
end. and still you hope against hope
with them that their destinies are not
inevitable Best of all. "One- Way
Passage" does not resort to trickery,
but tells its story as that story just
had to happen. H. M.

entertainment by letting simple
heart-warming story tell itself in its
own, honest. earthly terms. Moreover,
1t ought to be an object lesson to film
makers who have passed up similar
material on the assumption that it is
no more dramatic than an August day
in Southern California. 1t would be a
pleasure to fill theater with such a
group and measure its emotional re-
it might not react in the slightest,
which probably would be sound, even
if sad, explanation of why such pic
lures come along once in four blue
moons.
ITO the Victor" is an adaptation of
the story Bob, Son of Battle" by
j. B. Williams, an adaptor with that
kind of discerning intelligence which
does not try to modify a good story
with bad second guessing. Robert
Stevenson, who directed Nine Days
a Queen another film of dramatic
simplicity, is responsible for the spirit
of ITO the Victor"
1t is practically incredible what he
has accomplished with the climax of
the film. sheep dog race which, if you
are not familiar with such pastimes,
involves a sheep dog herding five wild
and naturally woolly sheep into pen.
To get the sheep over the goal line, so
to speak, it is necessary to make them
walk 1-foot plank over a small
stream and in spite of the fact that
nothing sounds duller than that, it
makes one sit on the edge of ones
seat as make-believe rarely can do.

50 speaking parts as in the case Of
Johnny" has $50 speaking parts, a
total Of $50 roles altogether, and is
done in 19 major scenes, many of
which are divided into subordinate
scenes. So the Washington Civic
Theater's director has himself some
hairtearing to do.
So does Mr.. Bill Girvan, for Mr..

figure some way to get a tenement

is to house the production of the

bad, too, because Mr.. Girvan has nice

But you really ought to drop down
and watch Strick worry. In the first
place he can't get enough actors.
Strick needs men more than ANYBODY
you ever knew. And even when he
gets them he still has to tear his
hair (he'll be bald before we're through

worked out, including himself.

consumption. Compared to Mr.. Swee-

deeds Of William Corder in Murder"

Roadside feels now, however, that its

The average loss per woman being

sensibly. And for proper functionine
they took little daily dose of
Kruschen Salts. If you have the
slightest doubt about this Plan just
ask your own doctor about its safe
ty and merit.
And this IL important to know:
kruschen iS not just one salt as
some people may ign0rnntly believe.
Rather. it's II blend of q active min
nrnl salts tscC ON bONl which, when
dissolved in water. make IL health
ful mineral drink similar to the
where wealthy fat women have gone
for years.
Here's the Kruschen Plan: Just
take a half teaspoonful of Kruschen
in hot water every morning for
better functioning. Go light on fat
ty foods and sweets-eat plentifullN
of lean meats, fresh fruits and green
vegetables. Plan to do this faith
fully for 2S days and see il you
don't lose fat and feel healthier ano
younger. A jar costs but a few cents
