Oddly enough, no one ran scream
ing out Of the Metropolitan Theater
at the close of Women in Bond
age" There was ample cause for
that kind Of emotional release
and we don't mean dramatic i'm
pact. Women in Bondage" doesn't
possess a semblance of that or of
anything else worth while except
good intentions and the boarding
house set salvaged from Chaplin's
Great Dictator" 1t was good to
see that old set: the street on
which the little man was chased,
the window out Of which Miss God
dard slugged the Na1 gendarmerie
with a skillet If only it had been
in its original company.
But no. Here it is in an inept
story which might well pass as THE
Further Adventures of 'Hitler's
Children" In a situation where
something earnest and dramatic
probably could be done by way of
showing the moral slavery of Ger
man womanhood, Monogram has
fallen fat into pit of cliches. The
murky ones found consistently in
movies of Nazi soullessness. Surely
no one has to be told of the BRITISH
ness Of Nazi theology as if the dis
coyery had been made yesterday.
1t Is matter at this late date of
penetrating that bare fact and re-
vealing its component parts in such
a manner that its responsiveness will
not soon be forgotten.
In Women in Bondage" you have
only repulsive movie. No one has
made any visible effort to combine
fact with dramatic color and to
tell this particularly tragic episode
sincerely and seriously. Even the
casting gives the appearance of hav-
ing been dismissed as an inconse-
quential matter. In the scarce in
stances where competent acting was
to be had, Monogram remained
aloof. H. B. Warner, for exam
pie. gets practically nothing to do

3 More Eviction Suits
Filed by Apartment Owner

Eviction proceedings against eight
more tenants Of 2618, 2620 and 1922
Thirteenth street NV. were filed
yesterday in Landlord and Tenant
Court. Judge John P. Mcmahon
has taken under advisement the
eviction cases against eight other
tenants tried January 7.
The Fidelity Mortgage Investment
and Edward c. Baltz, vice president
and owner Of the apartments, are
suing to obtain possession of the
buildings to convert them into
smaller suites for war workers.
The tenants claim they are war
workers and the plan is merely a
scheme to get more rent.
The eight cases just filed will
come to trial January %.

as the priest: Nancy Kelly is given
a few sobs and The Chase to exc
cute. The pre-Nazis, male and fe-
male, behave like people named
Joe and Mary who are not par
ticularly happy in their situation
anyway.
AS recital Of facts, Women in
Bondage" states that German wom-
en- must undergo stricter medical
examinations If they would wed
Elite SIS troopers; a slight case of
myopia can bar them. Nazis will
go to severe lengths to baptize chill
dren under the Hitler code rather
than the Christian. Nazis encourage
their girls to spy upon each other
occasionally causing long chases
through the woods, Nazis whip wom-
en- who won't talk. Anti-Naz;s some
times give away locations of secret
munitions plants by turning on the
lights when the bombers come over
-and die in a hail of bombs. Steri-
hzation, marriage ge-against-will, un-
moral consorting with soldiers
these, too, are ticked of with hol-
low methodicity.
You might say that Women in
Bondage" is the archetype of all bad
movies having the inside -Nazi"
theme.

k1OAA WONJD.
Studio pubncists are beginning to
do some unified worrying over the
increasing tendency on the part Of
young feminine players to adopt
male first names. Fans are be-
coming confused and some Of the
players involved are running into
embarrassing situations-but the
parade Of girls with boys names
continues.
Recently, Columbia tried to have
K. T. Stevens turn in those initials
for something more feminine, but the
actress, daughter of Director Sam
Wood, refused to consider the idea.
Columbia was prompted by re-
port from It's fan mail department.
Numerous fans were writing her
with the salutation, Dear Mr..
Stevens
At the same studio, jeff Donnell,
rising fast into feminine leads, still
has most OF the Nations fans puz-
zled. Every trick known to the
publicity department to clarity her
sex seems to have failed.
Studio heads report that all the
modern young actresses with a ten
delicy to masculine first names balk
at suggestions that they make
changes. Most OF them point to
Gene Terney for support. When
Gene first turned up at Goth Gen.
tury-Fox, Daryl zanuck ordered
q name change, but the newcomer
steadfastly refused. She stuck it
out and got places in spite of the
fans early bewilderment.

in the 18th reel. She Is downright
What Woman" currently at the
Earle, but that Is no good reason for
making her do it over and over
again.
Columbia Pictures is responsible
for the latest adventure of Miss
Russell in the madcap world of cafe
society. 1t has created for her the
role Of young advertising executive,
given her suite of Offices that will
look modern in 1897, set her up in
duplex apartment almost repul-
sively luxurious, supplied her with an
Immaculate family tree and tossed in
two males whose aggregate OF charm
would have troubled Queen Eliza
beth to the point Of beheading one
of them. Miss Russell, of course,
must find another solution, one that
will be much more laughable. She
does, but not without straining a
few points that already have been
stretched pretty seriously in other
pictures Of the same type.
X \ X +
The nemesis of Miss Russell's cold
detachment from the facts of life
is primarily Brian Aherne, an ex-
cellent man for that sort of work.
AS a profile writer for magazine
called the "Knickerbocker," he fol-
lows her through her madly busy
days and nights with a kind of
fascinated contempt which would
break a stronger woman in the
first reel. The mad business which
engages her, and piques his curiosity
so endlessly, is that of finding and
grooming a godlike young college
professor for the male lead in one
of these earthly movies that enable
90, 900 900 customers to see what life
could be like If they were not such
clods.
You can imagine the situations
into which the three of them-the
hunk k-o'-man character Is played by
Willard Parker-are led by a plot
