Bette Davis comes to the Star Theatre. to-day in her latest War- Ler Bros. producion. "Dangerous," with Franchot Tone playing up- posite her and Margaret Lindsay ter rival.

The screen play by Laird Doyle is said to be sheer drama of dynamic intensity and tre- Dendous emotions. Bette has the role of a famous actress, who after rising to the top of the ladder of success. tumbles to the gutter through her own egotism and selfishness, although she calls It a jinx, dragging down those who loved her.

It is after her fall that Tone. in the role of a young architect, sets about sobering her up and trying to re-establish her as the ́brilliant star she had been.

But Bette loves lightly and too well. She already has a discarded husband she has ruined, of whom the architect knows nothing. The situation leads to a veritable
