HOWARD Features MARTHA LAWRENCE m "ETCHINGS FROM LIFE'^> ^^■■'. iN VAUDEVILLE Another "thrllllngly melodramatic" attempt with too' many thrills and too much hokum dramatics to allow for credulity or realism. However, the picture luts much to recommend it, thanks to the excellent, cast and the good w<vto of Charles'Hutchin- son, who aoems to be one of the few athletic artists who can act. Hutchinson aa Bruco Pomroy, a bank oashler, has for an employer and rival Paul Ollmore (Crauford Kent). Kent Is using the bank as a clearing house for stolen bonds. Pomroy and OUmore were class- mates. Both love Betty Browne (Mary Beth Mllford). Hutchinson frames Pomroy through Joe Turner (Charles Cruz), the teller. He steals is.000 from PomroKls money. The shortage la reported and Gllmore offers to cover It up with his own money. Pomroy refuses. Tba di- rectors are notlfled and vote with Gllmore to arrest Pomroy. He eludes the police, and after a "chase" jumps off, a roof into the office of the gang 'of bond thieves who are working with Gllmore. The master mind of the crooks bides Pomroy and then proposes he join the gang. He appears to do so, and remains at their headquarters, a suburban mansion. He places a dummy in his l>ed and escapes to .warn Betty of Gllmore. The rob- bery Is succeflsful, Pomroy making a giant swing over and back to the office building to be robbed. The picture ends In a wild battle in' and around an abandoned mill where the gang congregate, with Pomroy and Gllmore tumbling over a precipice In their struggle. The denouement develops that Pomroy is working with a couple of Depart- ment of Justice detectives after men higher up In the bond thefts. The direction is the weakest part of the picture and Is responsible for the unconvincing portions. The tech- nical errors are many and glaring. The "surprise" expected when Pom- roy is revealed aa working with the detectives doesn't materialise, due to faulty continuity, and several other portions are equally as vague. This makes for a very ordinary picture, with the usual strained attempts to Inject thrills for whleb the story ha^ been sasriflced. The work of the cast is splendid but powerless against the faults of tho director and the spotty continuity. 0««. Napoleon and Josephine Forelga-mad* prodoctlon. No director or plajrera named.
