Three Day Run.
Melvyn Douglas, Ruth Hussey
and Ellen Drew come to the
Craterian theatre today for a
three - day showing of ."Our
Wife," praised by preview audi
ences as the "most exciting
triangle that ever made a guy
run around in circles."
Douglas, the "guy" in the
case, is seen as a brilliant
musician who doesn't even
know he is the main prize in
a romantic contest between his
co-stars. Miss Hussey, abandon
ing her hitherto sedate and dig
nified screen characterizations,
appears as a coldly scientific
young woman whose Interest in
romance has been practically nil
. . , until she falls in love! An
amateur in the fine art of man
hunting, she pits her brains
against the more positive allure
ments employed by the curva
cious Miss Drew, only to learn
with sudden and startling rapid
ity it's not a woman's brains
that cause a man to yell:
"uncle!"
Armed with this knowledge
and awake to her own beauty,
she does her best to adapt the
techniques used against her by
the wilier, wiser Miss Drew.
The battle royal thereupon pre
cipitated is said to provide the
complications and the entertain
ment which makes "Our Wife"
the top fun show. John Hub
bard and Charles Coburn head
the supporting cast.
