Psychiatry takes another
beating in The Locket'

BY MARJORIE MILTON

There may be few movie
goers left who haven't yet had
their fill of the pseudo-ps ychiatry
dished out by the movie industry.
Personally, we've had enough.
"The Locket," currently on the
screen of the Palace Theater, is
simply more of the same and not
as well done as many of these
thrillers have been.
The confused story deals with
kleptomaniac whose psychosis
began in childhood when a cruel
and stupid woman accused her of
stealing locket. From here, the
movie leads the lovely sufferer
Garaine Day. into a series of en-
tanglements. A psychiatrist Brian
Aherne) gets himself so mixed up
that he lands in a hospital for the
mentally i'll; an artist Robert Nit
chum) who loves the lady COM
mits a spectacular suicide! and a
third man Gene Raymond bare
ly escapes a tragic fate when his
marriage to the lady fails to come
off.
All OF these events are told
throughs a series of flashback
there is even a flashback within
a flashbackD and somewhere along
the line, the audience inevitably
falls off. If you can follow all
the goings-on, step by step, you're
a better man than I am.
1t is possible that the movies
may yet come up with an honest;
intelligent and mature treatment
of psychiatric problems. In the
meantime, movies like this one,
instead of contributing to public
understanding of mental illness,
only add to the confusion.
