Today Barbara Stanryck
In "Illicit,"
e e
Well, let me as are you that as
for myself I find "Illicit" an ex
ceptionally entertaining and artis
tic production. You will see it at
the Elsinore today and tomorrow.
Perhaps yon. like myself, will be
most exasperated that after such
a desperate struggle to make an
Intelligent husband realize the ne
cessity of 'remaining a lover as
well as a husband, and leave to
his wife a bit of the freedom ot
courtship days and give to her the
attentions which won her In the
first place. Barbara Stanwyck
gives up and goes back to James
Rennie. the typical husband, and
lets him remain the bus and
whose property she Is.
True, the story develops that
she held him well enough to pre
vent the other woman from win
ning the last hand, but he was
still th "husband who could not
give up his property."
The story is that of a girl who
loves bat tears the bondage of
marriage. To save her illusions
from being, crushed and to retain
her freedom she takes complete
love out of wedlock until the
breath of suspicion hovers ever
her and then because of her fam
ily standing she marries the man.
Before; two years are up the
man who had been a sweet lover
becomes a husband with a cold in
his head. Separation follows while
Barbara Stanwyck tries to regain
her dream. '
The story is very true to life.
very well, acted, the lines are clev
er and for those- who wish to
think there is plenty to provoke
thought, and for those who wish
to be amused there- is equally as
much to provoke laughs and
amusement.
Charles Butterworth as the
comedy relief j Is one of the clev
erest characters to appear In a
play for some time. The photog
raphy, scenes and clothes are far
superior to the average play.
"The Lash." which Is now at
the Capitol,, with Richard Barthel
mess. Is also an excellent picture.
The plot is Intensely realistic
and gripping. Although the story
depicts the xlays of our early his
tory Just after California came In
to the anion, yet the elements
which make up the picture are
those of the human emotions of
love, courage. Justice, treachery
and fidelity and they speak, the
language of all people and of all
ages,-
BartheimeBfl la splendid la the
part of' a young Spaniard who
comes back to his native Califor
nia to find that certain Americans
who fire in power, are defrauding
his people. ; His. home 1 Is one of
the loveliest of the old Spanish
estates. Through a tragic experi
ence-with an American land of
fice officer, Fred Kohler, Barthel-
mess as the young son of the
Spanish nobleman, Robert Edeson,
becomes a bandit, making war up
on all 'Americans. Mary Astor as
his sweetheart and Marlon Nixon
as his sister, play excellent parts.
The story deals with the activi
ties ot the band': and with the
laud office, men, who try to secure
the land of the Spanls't by under
handed means. Fred Kohler as
the villian plays an excellent role,
as does James Rennie. Fine rid
ing, spectacular outdoor shots, ex
cellent acting and a tense plot;
make for aa excellent picture.

A lesson learned by Henry
