At any other time a picture with Wil­ liam Boyd in it would be shoved way down at the bottom of the column, but not this current drought has not only to do with rain­ fall but also with what we call “good , pictures.” “ High Voltage” should never be ranked as more than a bet­ ter than average show; but such is the order of things that it has to be hailed as the most enjoyable and the most diverting entertainment avail­ able in the cinema line this week, i The comedy’s good. I’ve never laughed so much since old Brownie had her first calf. The whole darn j bill is good. And wh^n it comes to j this Carol Lombard, I get all speech­ less suddenly. She is beautiful every inch above ground. More than that she has an excellent voice, and is very supple in the hands of the director. That’s what it takes to be a good actor, you know. William Boyd had to tame down a whole lot before he could register in these new-fangled talkies, but he has done it about as well as could be expected. His per­ sonality, while not particularly strik­ ing, is pleasing. His voice and his blondeness complement this, and he occasionally, in this pictures more than in any other, gives evidence of having some emotional depth. Diane Ellis and Owen Moore come crashing through for about thirty yards each on a last down in the last minute to play. Don’t take that too seriously, but it’s just my way of letting you know that you will like them a lot. The story lacks yards and yards when it comes to originality, but with al­ recording, and with most perfect some intelligent direction, it strikes one as being better handled than ever before. It affords an opportuni­ ty for very detailed character study of the principals, but Ralph Block J has successfully avoided increasing the dramatic intensity to such a point, that the whole thing becomes melo­ dramatic. There is plenty of snow , and ice; in fact it’s mostly snow and ice—with blizzards. And now say that isn’t good psychology in weather like this. But i f s a wonder to me why Carol (that’s this Lombard per­ son) didn’t simply melt the ice, stop the wind from blowing, and lead the on Children of Chicago straight through. There would not have had to be sacrificed much plausibility. Most of us still believe in miracles. A very creditable piece of work on the whole, overlooking the severs! weak points which can be left un­ noticed with all propriety. This will be at the Hancock through Wed­ nesday, * * * and shoulders “ T H E B E L L A M Y T R I A L . ” When­ ever I try to clear up the old brain and concentrate on this particular yarn about the dispensation of jus­ tice in our cute little courtrooms the country over, it seems that every trial picture I have ever seen is all jumbled and mixed up with every other trial picture. It is difficult to say which is what and why is who and when is where. Only one thing has been set upon “the tables of my mind” sufficiently clear for me to re­ reads call it. Kenneth Thompson these lines more than effectively: “ Because she was afraid of the dark.” It is the only time in the entire pro­ duction that anybody even threatens to raise his head out of the crowd of several people who are all messed up in the affair. The suspense is preserved—shall I But then you say satisfactorily? have to come to the end, and you self-evident stumble on truth. Maxims I think they call them. “All bad things must come to an end as well as all good things.” I ’ll bet my 6-year-old brother could have found a better ending. The method of presentation is different. You don’t find out who the technic­ ians and costume supervisors and so forth are until after the whole thing is over, and you don’t have to sit through it unless you want to. So there. That’s about the most sensi­ in ble thing a producer has started some time. Betty Bronson and Ed­ ward Nugent are unnecessary, but they offer some chuckles, if you want in them.
