The Unholy Garden"

Ronald Colman comes to the Oriental Theatre in a stirring, rip- snorting adventure yarn, "The Un- Holy Garden, presented by Samuel: Goldwyn. "The Unholy Carden" refers to an outpost at the edge of the Sahara wastes, where renegades, from the law hide, safe from the police and extradition. The decayed splender of a once magnificent resort gives sanctuary to a strange gather- ing of outcasts, awalling forgetful- пода or forgivenças. Civilization affers each of them jail or worse fer a different reason. "The family," that is the dozen odd outcasts, thieves, murderers and others living at the hotel, are plotting to kill Baron de Jonghe and perhaps his grand- daughter find the plunder that they all believe is hidden somewhere about his flat. Then Barry Hunt ap- pears. His plan is to work through the daughter Camille. Living in a zoo as she has. Barry is to win Camilla's "esteem", affection

or whatever it is and through her. And out where the Earon's hidden plun- der is. He proceeds but is con- stantly forstalled by the police spy, Mrs. Mowbry. The crooks begin to distrust him as they see his romantic affair developing. Barzy finds the money, but just as he does, ona of the conspirators murders the Baron Camille quickly accuses Barry, who has no way of disproving it. Then "the family" descend on Barry, know. ing that he has the money, deter mined to inflict the fate an him they had reserved for the Barou. Just when the climax mtunts to a white heat, a now solution appears, and an ending that is ne novel, as exciting and as unexpected as could be ex- peeted frum. Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur, brings the story to breathless clar.
