ENGROSSING CRIME DRAMA
THRILLING WESTERN SUPPORTS Superb characterisations by Frieda Inescort, Otto Kruger, aud Rochelle Hudson—fitting enactments of persons whose problems are absorbing and authentic make Columbia’s ‘ A Woman is the Judge,’ which is screening at the Grand, one of the most enthralling films in recent months. An engrossing story of a woman jurist suddenly called upon to decide the fate of her own daughter, accused of murder, the new attraction is a deft, moving tale of the machinery of the law and of the people who become enmeshed in its relentless coils. The fine portrayals and engrossing detail with which ‘ A Woman is the Judge ’ abounds lend force and drama to the film. A novel note in ‘ Outlaws of the Prairie,’ the supporting film, is the introduction of four range ballads, typical of the ones sung by generations of cowboys, Donald Grayson sings the songs, accompanied by the Sons of the Pioneers, a unique musical aud vocal quintet.
