Feminine Stars in Brilliant Picture On Craterian Bill (Contributed) We give upl We're sorry to ay that It's simply Impossible to com pose an orderly and adequate review of "The Women," which opened yes terday at the Craterian theater. Try' lng to be orderly about It doesn't cover the aubject adequately and trying to cover the subject adequately Ilnds one using most disorderly fig' ures and fashions of speech. But here goes, anyway. "The Women" la a Juicy film morsel spiced to the palate of any and all comera of any and all sexes (now, what does that mean?), except the Juvenile, who wouldn't under stand it anyway. "The women" Is as sharply departure from that thing called norm" as "Grand Hotel" or "Dinner At Eight" was. neither of which It resembles an lota. The cast Is com posed exclusively of women and what women I And what those wom en do I And aay I Say Rosalind Russell Invites all the women In the world to sue her for damages to their mass reputation and revels in the doing. Joan Craw. ford dares all the shopgirls on earth to like her again after what she does to them here and makes a classy Job of It. Mary Boland takes a dialogue beating no woman could love but bears up under It Just the same. Paulette Goddard defies gold-diggers and wives, in tandem, to ever come see her again, making of her chore the best thing she's ever done. So It goes, throughout all the way down the long cast, but not so for Norma Shearer, which Is another paragraph, Shearer Is the good woman of the lot. target of all the bad women victim of their malice and, finally. mallcloua In reprisal. This Isn't what might be called a bargain role, even for a Shearer, but It turns out to be Just what the doctor ordered. She scoops up the pass from center, ducks more tacklers than Notre Dame's ever had and drop-kicks goal from every yard-line In enemy ter ritory. She Is, of course, the one woman In the cast that all women will pick out aa their prototype And that ought to make everybody nappy about the whole thing. Of course the big news that already about town la the battle between Russell and Goddard. It' a sweetheart and we do mean sweet heart I scratching, biting, kicking, these two go at It hammer and tongs and when Goddard emerges the win ner. It's a thoroughly beaten Russell and thoroughly happy audience. Boy wnai a scrap) t Five of a Kind NEW..

Sept. 21 (AP) German batteries pounded enemy lines of communication along the western front today as reports of swift night movements by French troops hinted at plans for major offensive.

Big Battle Brewing These reports, and the fact the French appeared to be consolida ting their positions instead of at tempting further local advances, Increased Swiss belief a great battle Is in the making. Behind the Siegfried line the Germans were said to have sta tioned motorized units In strategic reserve positions from which they can be rushed to any part of the front when additional strength Is needed.
