SUPPORTING CAST
WITH OTHER STARS
Starring Carole Lombard,
Cary Grant and Kay Francis in
the top characterizations, "In
Name Only" opens a three-day
run today at the Craterian the
ter. with one of the most high-
cowered, stellar casts ever as
signed to one picture.
One of the very few screen
I entertainments to develop the
''other woman's" side, "In Name
Only" limns with emotion-gripping
power how a wily wife
itrives to bar the loss of her hus
band to another woman with
whom he has fallen in love. AL
though the wife openly admits
that she does not love her hus
band, she wants to keep him only
for the luxuries and social posi
tion he gives her.
. The situation develops with
the wife's unscrupulous fight to
retain her status and to keep
her husband's parents ignorant
of the true circumstances to a
stirring climax, after a lightning
fast series of highlights which
' mark "In Name Only" as one
' of the season's most significant
. productions.
. Carole Lombard's role as the
; waiting woman represents a de
parture from her recent cycle
I of comedienne portrayals. Grant,
-following up his many recent
,' personal triumphs, has an ideal
I role for his talents. But it Is
Kay Francis, who has been win
v ning plaudits for her work in
i this picture. The unwilling vic-
tim of bad casting for the past
$ several years, Miss Francis
i p r o v e s definitely that there's
5 been nothing the matter that a
4 good role couldn't cure.
j Charles Coburn, Helen Vinson,
Katherine Alexander, Jonathan
