Even the high-handed treat

This is q situation an author

The red-haired and unmistak-
ably Irish Nancy Donovan head
lines the Capitol stage show and it
is good to have her back in town.
Her voice is rich in timbre and
warmly colored, she uses it with
expression and her personality is
a lively one. You could hardly
ask more of a girl who sings.

the Singletons and the Royles, two
Southern families which fought
for dominance in the tobacco in
dustry. Both lost, and those Sin
gletons and Royles who were not
dead at the end were left with
undoubtedly the bitterest after
taste in the entire history of the
tobacco habit.
Beyond the possession of this
distinction, however, Bright Leaf"
is a fairly standard melodrama
which Warmers thought worthy of
a pretentious cast and more Law
ish production than movies have
been getting lately. They have seen
to it that not a single wisp of mag
nolia fragrance intrudes into these
lives centered in competition as
ruthless as that between New
York's robber barons and the
Vests cattle tycoons. They were
just as tough in the South.

Foster Fitz-Simons' novel pro-
vides the basis OF the Warner film,
which Michael Curtiz directed.
It's setting is the tobacco town
of Kingsmount in the year 1894.
Only one pillared mansion rose
from Kingsmount's soil, the rest
of which was planted in bright
leaf. Here lived the Singletons,
hard, proud old Major James who
owned the tobacco empire; and
his naughty, beautiful daughter,
Margaret.
The Singletons were secure, as
who would not be living in house
like that, but this lasted only until
the day the lanky. bitter Brant
Royle came back to avenge his

fathers industrial defeat by old
Major James.
Brant 0Cooper) was a born
feudist. He had courage, arro-
gance, a crafty mind and a roman
tic style that no woman worthy
of him could resist. He has
barely had time to shave and
change clothes before the towns
two most engaging bellies are
excitedly aware of change in
Kingsmount.
One of these is Sonia Kovac
Miss BacalD who runs an es-
tablishment that goes under the
alias, "a boarding house for young
ladies'" The other is Margaret
Singleton who still remembers the
tobacco-field kiss Brant stole from
her some years before.
The romantic triangle thus set
up is played heavily in Bright
Leaf" but not so excessively that
Director Curtiz ignores the impli-
cations of the tobacco conflict.
His picture makes it clear that
tobacco's universal popularity be-
gan not with the excellence of

ruthless than Major Singleton, al

Curtiz and his players in
Bright Leaf" proceed on the as
sumption that it is a gripping tale
of industrial conflict. relieved at
the right places by dashes of
scorching amour and ironic COM
edy. The assumption is not quite
as sound as they think, nor is the
acting of such intensity as to
demonstrate that Bright Leaf
is the great saga Of tobacco.
Cooper is merely competent in
his portrait of frantic would-be
tycoon, and Miss Bacall and Miss
Neal are hardly more than
sketches of the feminine types
they are supposed to represent.
The best performance in the film,
if you want to be startled, is by
Jack Carson as a humane sort
of rogue who finds himself partner
in Cooper's reckless enterprise.
