 Tops among the male-personal- ities of present day films, Boyer plays opposite Miss Dunne in a 72- hour romance which is nurtured in the winds and rains of last years hurricane. the wraht of which was felt mildly in this area. The story links the two, Boyer a famous French pianist and Miss Dunne, a New York waitress, in a love affair that is suitable to the screens most popular romance team.
 Barbara O'Neil, Onslow Stevens, Nydia Westman, Fritz Field, Nella Walker and Greta Meyer comprise the supporting cast.
 Miss Dunne, since her outstanding work in "Showboat," Magnificent Obsession", and her more recent Love Affair.", is one of the great feminine personalities of pictures, and Boyer has supplanted Valentino in the hearts of American women.

Jimmy wisely handed in his resignation before the foreman regained consciousness. The next time the two met was some years later at a dance at which Jimmy and his present orchestra were playing.

beauty, the film unfolds sweeping battle sequences, depicting the great battle of Omdurman for which Kitcheners gunboats had to be hauled over tho. dangerous Nile cataracts. Four thousand Arabs, Derivishes, Fuzzy Wuzzies and Brit ish soldiers were brought together through the cooperation of the gov- ernment for these scenes which were refought on the screen with remarkable realism, unforgettable drama and pictorial brilliance.
 The acting in the film which stars Ralph Richardson, stunning June Duprez John Clements and c. Au- brey Smith, is universally excellent. There can be no hesitation in rec ommending this film for its spectac- ular color, its fast-moving story, its swift direction and its notable per- formances.

on public opinion, and they are largely re-

come about in the movies and other juvenile
entertainment.
There are many phases of the crime problem
that do not deal with crime prevention or law
enforcement, but which deal with the salvag-
ing of those men and women who have served
a term in our prisons and are to return to live
in our communities. Here physical and mental

open to him to earn livelihood. A prisoner
may not have developed the character or even
the desire to go straight, but often he has
this desire and the difficulties of his situation
overwhelm him. Too much temptation must
not be put in his way. Nor can complete trust
be placed in a man until he proves himself
worthy Yet these men and women who desire
to do the right thing must not be forced to
meet impossible barriers as many of them do
today.
There should be community action in the
consideration of these problems, and women
can be the moving force.
If this whole question of crime prevention
is to be looked upon by the women of the
nation as their fourth crusade they must plan
it with united front and a wide vision. In
many cases it will require political and per-
sonal courage. Racketeers are not going to
have any kindlier feeling for them than they
would have toward groups of men, We must
not fool ourselves that this is going to be an
