Show VICTORYTHEATRE "Bondage," the new Fox picture depicting one of the most vital problems prob-lems of the clay, shows at the Victory theatre Friday and Saturday of this week. It is a powerful story of the youth of today in search of happiness, happi-ness, its attainment of unexpected and disturbing- results, and the coldness cold-ness shown by a world that turns its back on their pain. Dorothy Jordan, in the leading role, gives a performance perform-ance that is unmatched by anything she has ever done. She rises to dramatic dra-matic heights never before thought to be within her acting scope. She gives a lift to the picture that be-speakes be-speakes a keen understanding of acting for the sci'een. Alexander KirkJand plays the masculine lead opposite Miss Jordan, and gives a splendid account of himself. Merle Tottenham and Nydia Westman, whoi head the supporting cast are likewise like-wise deserving of high praise. For those who like red-blooded action an addition to the comedy and pathos of a heart drama that stirs the audience to tears, the Victory offers Wallace Beery in "Flesh," which shows Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. As Herr Polikai, who wins the title with a murder charge staring star-ing him in the face, Beery has a role in every way as powerful and dramatic dra-matic as his previous sport picture, "The Champ." Karen Morley and Ricardo Cortez give vivid performances perform-ances as a pair of American dancers, stranded in Germany, who pick Beery up in the Berlin beer garden where he is a wrestling waiter, and all but wreck his life when he connes to .America to -seek the worlds title. Other fine portrayals are contributed by Jean Hersholt, John Miljan, Vince Barnett, Herman ring, Edward Ed-ward Brophy, Greta Meyer and Wladak Zbyszko.

Heading the sup- porting cast are Robert Armstrong, Lew Cody, Warren Hymer and Dorothy Doro-thy Burgess. Harry Joe Brown directed di-rected this Charles R. Rogers production produc-tion for Paramount. The story centers around Lowe and Miss Carroll Car-roll a strange pair, bound together by a curious emotional tie. Lowe is a confidence man a shrewd crook who finds no greater pleasure in life than separating a sucker from his I money. Miss Carroll is a girl of good background, who knows, tile moment she meets Lowe, that he is the one man in the world she can love. Suddenly, without quite understanding under-standing how, Lowe finds himself in a legitimate business venture, earning more money toy legal methods meth-ods than he has ever clone by illegal ones. The picture reaches a breathless breath-less climax in the events that follow. |
