GAMBLING LADY "PRIVATE JONES”
Alhambra's Next Change
A charming new pair of screen lovers have been brought together by Warner Bros. in the persons L Barbara Stanwyck and Joel Mc-
Cres. They appear for the first time together in "Gambling Lady" which comes to the Alhambra on Thursday.
McCrea, the handsome leading men, who stands six feet, two inches in his stocking feet, is an excellent foll for the deilcate
beauty of the olm and fragile Miss Stanwyck,
The two stand out in contrast not only physically but emotional- ly, Miss Starwyck being cool and self possessed under the most trying circumstances. expressing her inner emotion with some subtle change of face and voice, while McCrea, is the gay, the de- bonaire, who is boisterously happy, violently angry or bitterly depressed.
The two have the roles of lovers from very different walks of life in the picture, who are supremely happy until a social flirt gets the blinded husband into a mess from which the wife extricates him by sacrificing her own love.
"
Pat O'Brien shares honours with McCrea as one of the masculine leads and the unsuccessful rival, while Claire Dodd plays the part of the unscrupulous and flirtatious homewrecker.
