HOLLYWOOD CHATTER

The next Hollywood marriage, II
Is whispered. will in all likelihood
be that of the Twentieth Century
Fox star, Linda Darnell, and Pew
erell Marley, well-known camera
man.
Linda hasn't been particularly
happy over certain situations al
home and marriage might be q
solution. Marley.is much Older
and has had two previous mar
Iriages, although he looks like q
juvenile.
There Is no doubt they are in
love and little Darnell deserves
happiness, for she hasn't had the
easiest time In the world these
last few months.

Street,,
Terrific
BY CHARLES GENTRY

THE DEVIL lives on "Angel
Street"
You'll be convinced of that after
seeing Patrick Hamilton's thriller.
diller which opened at the Cass
last night leaving its opening
night beholders limp with sheer
fright
"Angel Street" is the address OF
a household of such horror that
you will have nightmares long
after you leave its ominous por-
tails.
We are introduced to the latest
tenants--the period is mid-Victor-
ian--to find the master of the
house be-deviling his distract wife.
Lots OF men make a habit of that,
but we hope none has the sinister
motive behind his persecution that
this particular fellow has.
II seems he is trying TO drive
his wife to insanity so that he
can lock her up and have the
house to himself. And If we tell
you why he wants the house to
himself. we shall rob you of a
great deal of the suspense which
makes Angel Street one Of the
most absorbing mystery plays we
have seen.

THE HEAVY TOUCH

OF course, his sudden appear
ances and startling way of OPEN
ing doors doesn't do our nervous
system much good. but at least
we feel safe while he's on the
stage.
Juxtaposed 10 him Is the tall,
dark and gruesome figure Of the
husband. a devil so fiendish that
last nights audience actually
Kissed his every entrance.
Byron McGrath makes him even
more terrifying with his suave
dignity, his def underplsying Of
a role which might easily get out
of hand. and his impeccable dress.
You jusr know a guy who looks
that neat must be up TO some dirty
work.

MISS PHILLIPS FINE

Torn between fear of one and
trust in the other is the pathetic
wife, an especially difficult assign
ment for any one as young as
Lynn Phillips, but she does a won
derful job.
Her hysteria must gradually
expand; her speeches. terror must
be a growing thing. We thought
she had used up everything in the
first act, but we didn't know how
much she had left. right up to the
very final scene when she wreaks
a revenge Of appalling irony
NO LET DOWN
At the same time her whole
performance must be pitched on a
very high emotional key and Miss
Phillips certainly deserves credit
for never letting her audience
down for a minute.
Georgette Mckee as the little
Icockney hussy and Daisy Belmore
as the faithful old housekeeper are
both good.
Director producer Shepar
Traube has given excellent pace
to the whole thing. adding some
touches of incredible swiftness,
which literally take your breath
away. while Lemuel Ayres' grim
set and FEEDERS eerie lighting add
the perfect touches to must"
on your melodrama list.

BOB RIDES AGAIN

Certainly sounds snobbish to
say that many people have never
been on a street car and will, of
necessity. now have to ride in
them. But apparently it is the
truth.
Especially In Southern Califor-
MIA where distances are great and
many people own their own auto
mobiles. I shouldn't think les
sons would be necessary on how
TO ride in a street car, but ap-
parently General Electric Corpora
ton thinks those to whom street
cars are new should know.
So Bob Benchley is being sought
to make a short subject, How to
Ride a Street Car" / could tell
the world something about riding
on elevated and subway trains in
case it's necessary.
