T shall turn the whole matter over | to Judge Lindsey and the Com- panionate Marriage sororities of America, and see what happens. | J’ S08 enjoyed “Underworld,” you be disappointed in the latest picture incorporating the splendid actors of that great pro- duction, “The Showdown” labors | under a poor story and indifferent direction, and while George Ban- croft and Evelyn Brent are re markably good, they suffer from not having the stuff to work with -further proof that the director and author of “Underworld” were in no small measure respon- sible for the brilliancy of that production. If movie producers were ever appointed to the General Staff of an-army and if they ever won a battle (admittedly ” preposterous assumptions) the enemy could | then put all their spics on half- pay and send their heavy artillery back to shoot crap in the bar- | racks, because the producers would stick to their original lin of attack if it took every Boy Scout in the nation. Even so, there is nothing | wrong with that philosophy if it | works, but in “The Showdown” it does not work, because it has only a thin” relation to : strength that exploded in “Un- derworld,” the stern parent of this weak offspring. The back- ground of the oil ficlds holds just as many possibilities for a robust drama as the gun alleys of Chi | eago and the acters are more than capable of projecting it, but the scenario write nd the director produced only 2 mediocre movie. Mr. Bancroft and Miss Brent arc two of the best actors in’ the Hollywood stables, and I sin- cerely hope thet for their next | picture they are given the sup- porting talent they deserve. A Quaker declares that when a man runs into debt he runs into sin, But it is his ereditors, not his sins, that find him out. —Everyveopy’s WErekty AZZ C) [ABELS Among My Souvenirs Judge pays $5 for cach one printed You me prise.
