Joan Crawford Has
Difficult Role in
"Laughing Sinners"
Joan Crawford shows herself to
be an actress of great technical
skill and unsuspected emotional
power as Ivy Stevens In "Laugh
ing Sinners," now playing at the
Kox Craterian.
In many of her sceues, when torn
by passion and despair, she is
deeply moving and happily sho
looks very lovely whon her oyes
fill with tears. The severe uni
form of the Salvation Army serves
to accentuate her beauty. In the
scene of abandonment, after fall
from grace, she lets tho spectator
see the tragedy under her forced
gayety. Altogether her perform
ance is notable and fixes her firmly
among the dramatic nctrosses of
the screen.
Clark Gable Is strong and Inter
esting as Carl, and Neil Hamilton
makes a good deal of the libertine,
Howard. Guy Klbboo. In His old
stage role of Cass Whoeler, wins
laughs and there are a umber of
well-played lesser characters.
