EVENING WEAR
High necks have been seized upon for evenings by all and aundry, Some of them are really high and the bodice material is caught up in front and almost pressed round the base of the throat, a deep slit being left bare at the back. Some are like the handkerchief bodice, two corners being tied, at the back of the neck, while the front is a loose cowl. Classic "draperies come into play with the high necks.
A high neck may be given to a more or less atting bodice with its small, basque by means of a triangle, the base of which runs straight across the neck line and two angles being battoned to the shoulders. Play is still made with the shoulders and under-arm.

JACK OAKIE'S MA TAKES UP VOGUE OF 1890
This film is to be shown at the Central by request. It is the CUT standing novelty film of the year, being a tremendous piece of ima ginative melodrama, using trick photography, model work and all the other magical effects of the camera in the presentation of a very fantastic, but entertaining story. Whether you are thrilled or merely amused, you must certainly not miss this. It is more or less Whereupon Mrs. Ofield, s like a dream, and, like a dream, it ia only believeable while one is thoroughly under its spell.

Frances Fuller, a
new discovery from Broadway, give a timid, and sober perform- ance as the dentist's wife: Gary Cooper, as the dentist, slouches through the film with kind of velvet menace. Stephen Roberts, the director, has been criticised in the American Press for not mak-.j ing his hero more aggressive, but there is something in his delibe- rate under-statement of passion that gives the film both individua-
lity and suspense.
"Crooks in Clover".-No one who wants straightforward gangster. stuff without any backthoughts can go wrong with the melodrams of murder in a penthouse; it is swift, smooth, and exciting from the opening shot. Metro's aristo crat of gang-leaders, C. Henry Gordon, has a part nearly as good as the one that made Clark Gable famous in- "Dance, Fools, Dance": the characterisation is good" and the lines pungent,
"Gold Diggers or 1933"--A backstage musical, not so good as "42nd Street," but with some ef- fective numbers in the new style, which diedams the limits of stage- craft. Joan Bloridell and Alme MEMahon throw their lines away professionally; the trouble is that they are largely wasted.
"Hunted People".-A German mekama, rather too long, but directed with a fine control of emotional effects, which details the ight of an escaped convict from a ten-year-old crime. Eugene Klop- fer's acting is in the grand tradi- tion of the Germian stage; sound and camera are intelligently used, and the whole Alm is beset with the panic of pursuit.
