Warner Baxter At Palais Pictures
fPHE lovable thief, the loving, not io
mention charming, woman detective
thrown together to spy and bo spied
upon, a gamut of social possibilities for
the thief, plots, baulks and counterplots—^there
you have the ingredients of
a thrilling picture, but when you throw
in Warner Baxter and charming Miriam
Jordon for good measure and Herbert
Mundin for the spice of comedy, what
have you- The answer is "Dangerously
Yours," which opens at Palais Pictures,
St. Kilda, on Monday.
As the story opens, Baxter and Herbert
Mundin, his partner in crime who
pases as his valet, are guests at the
home of Mrs Sarah Latham, a bibulous
old dowager who has several pecks of
diamonds and pearls about the house.
Among the guests is Miriam Jordan,
secretly in the service of an insurance
company. She is hot after the gentle-
: man crook, but her jealous fiance adds
complications.
LEARNS HER IDENTITY
Despite the girl-sleuth's watchfulness,
The girl charges Baxter with the crime
and agrees to accompany him to New
York if he gives up the jewels. Eager
for adventure of any sort, he consents,
but happens to overhear the girl at the
telephone and learns of her police connections.
He lures her aboard his yacht and
sets out to sea. She tries to make love
to him to persuade him to return, and
when that fails, attempts escape, so he
puts shackles on her ankles. She tries
to call for help from a passing boat, and
he stifles her cries with kisses.
That, of course, is the time for any
lovable and self-respecting thief to look
himself over. Warner Baxter does, but
you cannot anticipate the ending. And
there are laughs in plenty—you never
tire of the drollery of Herbert Mundin.
The supporting feature, "Speed
Demon," in which William Collier, Jun.
and Joan Marsh are starred, is a story
of speedboats and speed.
"Cynara," a strongly dramatic love
story, affords Ronald Colman scope for
his convincing acting. With "For the
Love of Mike" it is the current feature
at the Palais Pictures.
