THE PALACE THEATRE.
At the Palace Theatre to-night will be presented "The Little Foxes," starring Bette Davis with Herbert Marshall and Richard Carlson. A woman's greed and selfishness forms the unusual theme of "The Little Foxes." In one of the most compelling roles of her career, Miss Davis brings to the screen the domineering Regina Giddens of Lilian Hellman's famous play, and makes of her an unusually realistic character. How Regina schemes to become rich through a cotton-mill project, savagely tries to force her husband to aid her, and finally, after sacrificing him and her daughter on the altar of her ambitions, blackmails her less adroit brothers to achieve an empty success, makes for gripping drama. Contrasting sharply with the gay comedy of her recent "The Bride Came C.O.D.", the new offering gives Miss Davis exceptional opportunity for her talents as a dramatic actress. Herbert Marshal is east as the disillusioned husband. Teresa Wright, the new "aiscovery," and Richard Carlson handle the romantic element.
