The play departs from the traditional formula, for it is the wedded wed-ded wife who , to get her selfish way, uses her voluptuous appeal on her husband, and who is, analyzed down to her soul, a gold digger with a most commonplace mind. The "other woman," however, is a girl of line spirit, lofty mind, exquisite perceptions, per-ceptions, and considerable talent. Unlike the wife, she is interested in the man's happiness rather than her own.

Great spectacles of the "movies" Do you remember them? Can you name them? Most of them were directed di-rected by Cecil B. DeMille, generally acknowledged to be filnvlom's "King of Spectacle." He has procured at a rough estimate some sixty pictures since the dramatic days in 1913. Of these three-score total, a majority majori-ty has been of epic spectacular proportions pro-portions pictures like "The Ten Commandments," "King of Kings," and his latest, "The Sign of the Cross," which shws Sunday, Monday and Tuesday at the Victory theatre with a cast headed by Fredric March, Elis&a Landi, Claudette Colbert and Charles Laughton. "The Sign of the Cross" is the circus of the screen! It has the lure of flesh the bacchanalian bac-chanalian revels that made and stilL make the world gasp. Beautiful slave girls, courtesans, harlots, their only purpose to outdo each other in the orgiastic rites loved by a lustful Caesar. A flesh-mad emperor, Nero, living, laughing a crimson streak across the world, painting the ancient city red with the warm blood of his victims just for a sadistic thrill. Naked women, their helpless beauty pitted against the ferocity of frenzied fren-zied animals, while Nero licks his lustful lust-ful lips. Pulsing, primitive, passionate passion-ate life at the highest summit and the lowest depth of depravity all moulded by the hand of a genius into in-to a kaleidoscopic spectacle that is at once stupendous and breathtaking. "Zoo in Budapest," reported as one of the, most unusual pictures ever portrayed on the screen, comes to the Victory theatre on family night Wednesday, Wed-nesday, July 26. The story-, built around the activities and the atmosphere atmos-phere of a great zoological park, deals with the romance of a young man who has lived all his life among the animals, and a simple, unsophisticated unsophisti-cated orphan girl who comes to the zoo for a lesson in natural history. The two meet for the first time and, drawn up by an unknown urge, find themselves strangely in love with each other. But back of this gentle theme of young love lies the terrifying terri-fying pattern of caged beasts, their hates and hungers, their loves and lusts, the source from which the plot gains it.-i momentum and is said to move from one overwhelming thrill, to another. |
