Wife Picks "Hatchet Man" As Vehicle for Robinson; Comes to Elsinore Todav One of the best things about Edward G. Robinson, star of the First National picture "The Hat chet Man," which is now at War ner Bros. Elsinore theatre is Mrs. Edward G. Robinson. She Is r sponsible for her hus band being "the hatchet man," having discovered the play for him. She had lunch with the author, Achmed Abdullah, and he told her the story. She asked to see the manuscript, and picked," it for a wipner. She approved U, sub mitted It to her husband, who re lies on her judgment, and in turn he submitted the script to the of ficials of First National. Mrs. Robinson reads scores of plays every month, looking for possibilities for her husband's pictures.

In a desperate fight with her de generate husband she commits murder in self defense. A man. gone almost "bush" through in temperance, finally pulls himself together. Being a lawyer he de fends her in court and wins an ac quittal.

She was playing in "Lady Be Good" and he in "The Fire Brand." Professionally she was and still la Gladys Lloyd. and the only reason she Is not in pictures now Is that she does not believe it is a good idea for hus Dana ana wue eacn to have an active profession. "We enjoy each other's com pany too much to have us both busy. If we were both active in pictures, when one was not work ing, the other probably would be. It would give us no time for trav eling together. I think It best to let one or the other carry on the career, but not both." However, Mrs. Robinson, is oc casionally seen in pictures. She plays bit parts in all of Robin son's pictures. He claims she brings him luck.
